EVELYN

Evelyn's gone! On earth we'll never Hear her kindly voice again; But she's free, and free forever,
 From all sorrow grief and pain, Patient, loving, kind and gentle,
 Full of sunshine here below, It was fitting to yon heaven
 Full of sunlight, she should go. May her words, "don't worry Auntie, l shall soon be better off," And to know that she will never
 There have fever, pain or cough, Lead you, friends, to look up wonder To her bright and happy home, Where, with outstretched hand she's
 waiting, ... To welcome you to her heavenly
 home. Father, mother, you will miss her
 Every way your footsteps turn, Brothers too, and loving sisters,
 For her presence oft will yearn, But she's safe at home with Jesus,
 Joining in the songs of praise, And in those glad hallelujahs
 Which the ransomed ever raise. Hark! We almost hear her voice,
 Coming to us from afar; And the pearly gates of Heaven
 Seem as if they stood ajar. Let your faith be firm and steady,
 Strive to keep your hearts from sin When the Master calls be ready,
 And those gates you'll enter in. At their portals will be waiting
 All the loved ones gone before, To extend a gladstone welcome . To that blissful, heavenly shore. Her short life should teach this lesson Faith in Christ is better far Than earth's riches; for it always
 Keeps the heavenly gates ajar.

FIFTH NUMBER N. A. N. S.
 LECTURE COURSE

Dr. Thomas E. Green has been for ten years one of the leading lec- turers on the American Lyceum plat form. No man has had wider hear ing. No man has exerted wider in- fluence than he.
 He has been sought, not alone by Lecture Committees as their leading and always successful number, but civic clubs, scientific societies and na- tional political parties have taken every date he could possibly give them. Popular magazines take every thing he can find time to put in writ ten form.
 During 1911 and 1912 he completed a journey around the world. In the spring of 1913 he visited Panama, and the historic islands of the Spanish main.
 He has seen and interviewed sov- ereigns, prime ministers, cabinet off, cers, governors, ecclesiastics, journ- alists, revolutionists, students, people of every sort and kind, in order to obtain facts and study conditions.
 He is a member of the American Historical Society and of the National Geographical Society.
 No man in America has a wider or more diversified knowledge of current conditions than he.
 To this added a power of graphic description, and an eloquence Of speech that have become proverbial. He and his work are known wherever there is an intellectual American pulp lie.
 His new lectures dealing with pres ent conditions throughout the world are to the last moment timely and full of vital interest.
 We offer him as a unique and un- equaled attraction to appear Monday, February 26 at the Orpheum theatre at S:30 p. m. Single admission 75c.
 Seats may be reserved at the Or pheum Saturday, February 24 and Monday, Feb. 26.

DO YOUR HEAVY BUYING ON
 MARCH 1st AND ASSIST ... THE LIBRARY FUND

Each organization of the town who have "done things" will tell you with pride just how it was accomplished mainly by push. The Library Board claim but little as it's share of the sue cess of Library Day, While one might venture we were nasty in announcing it beforehand as success, we stand ready to prove our claim for March the first will stand out as one of the big days of Flagstaff. We give credit where credit is due However remem- Der no credit on March the first) and will say that no town could produce a finer list of merchants who will make Library Day red letter day. Just as we predicted, the professional men felt a little hurt to think we had not called upon them, so we were forced to include them in our canvas. To date even we have not been able to call upon them all but ''bide a wee" and we'll be there.
 The Board knew good advertising methods required the spending of a little money on its part in order to create money so it planned to present on the first of March, free matinee. Imagine the chagrin of the Board on finding it impossible to make Mir. Costigan to take its money-so really the matinee we give on that day is a gift from MT. Costigan but all ad- jectives are exhausted in speaking of him.
 Our idea is to bring the ladies down town at one thirty and let them spend a restful hour at the Empress seeing some short comedy reel before they venture forth upon their shopping expedition.
 Each merchant will endeavor to in terest you in purchasing on that day and they are fully prepared to receive large or small orders. Notice their specials through this weeks issue. While we never expect the men to glance at this column of small talk, it will behoove the wives to remind them of the following list and see they plan their shopping accordingly.

A STRONG PHOTOPLAY

Lou-Tellegen, the distinguished romantic actor, has never had more thrilling role in his entire stage and screen career than that of the young count who passes from saint to sinner in "The Victory of Conscience" an unusual photoplay at the Empress tonight.
 Mir. Lou-Tellegen has the distinc- ton of being one of the champion swordsmen of Europe and Elliot Dex- ter, who appears with him in this production, is also we'll known for his prowess with the foils. Together they enact one of the most thrilling duel scenes ever witnessed on the screen.

SOCIETY AND SNOW
 MIX NOT WELL THIS WEEK

k Socially speaking, the week was not so lively as one might have antici- pated the week proceeding the Lenten season,
 We know of several lovely affairs that were postponed because of the weather so perhaps the social season is not to be quenched by the donning of sack cloth and ashes after all.
 In a more quiet way perhaps we will get together and chat a bit and sew a bit and in this manner renovate our wardrobes and catch up with our reading for who of us has had time of late to glance at any of the six best sellers?
