Miss Emma j. Fordy,e. chemistry

"A husband is first vocation, then
an avocation, an aspiration and fl
nally an inspiration"
"A husband" she said is not n

nor motor car. A husband is one
chosen out Of the world to love until
that love makes him the best one in
the world"
Miss Fordyce said that she never
knew any old maid who had to be an
ola maid ANY man or woman who
wanted TO be married could be mar

THE AWAKENING OF PHOENIX

A noteworthy result of the tremend-
Gus development in the mining indus
try in Arizona during the past year
and a half has been the changed atti-
tude of the residents Of Phoenix and
the Salt River valley toward mines and
mining.
Two or three years ago the visitor to
the capital city would never have
dreamed that there was mine any
where within thousand miles, unless
perchance he should have glimpsed
some prospector with his burro, on his
way to the hills. There was nothing in
the life or thought of the Phoenicians
to Indicate that mining had any part in
the development of Arizona. The show
windows of stores and real estate Of
h6aeS@,W were filled with grape fruit and
oranges End pictures Of the Roosevelt
dam, and the~people spent their time in
discussing the prl OF alfalfa and the
value of orange land. # a tornado had
picked up an agricultural town from
somewhere on the Nebraska prairies
and set it down in the ST. River i17e valley,
It is hard to see now the inhabitants of
that-tfansplanted city could have been
any more Indifferent to mining than
the people of Phoenix were few years
ago. For in the case Of the transplant
ed cit, assuming that such thing were
possible, the inhabitants thus suddenly
transferred would at least look around
them to see to what new sort of country
they had been brought.
But the Phoenix of today is very diff
ferent as any visitor who was there
falfa seed and the price of orange land,
the people Of Phoenix are discussing
the latest strike in one or another min
ing-district, and the price of mining
stock. Hundreds Of them own stock in
various mining companies, and several
important companies now developing
properties in Arizona have been f.

THE FIRST KISS

"The greatest surprise in the world
to a girl who is kissed for the first
time is that there is no taste to it,
Exchange.
No taste to it! Well, by the hen
feathers on Cupid's dart, the editor of
that paper must be color-blind and
US, those who have tried it, that it
tastes like the double distilled essence
of honey spread thick on a large fat
slice of pumpkin pie; that it's taste re-
sembles a sip of nectar, brewed by the
gods and served in a dew covered
honey suckle blossom.
Way back in the dim and hazy past,
long before we had misplaced all our
teeth and when we had cinch on the
beauty prize, the prettiest girl in the
world told us with her own rosebud
lips that our first kiss felt like flock
of Paradise birds fluttering out each
ear and ended with a sensation like
covey of winged angels pouring mo-
lasses down her spine.
No taste to the first kiss! Great
guns! 1t would make a wooden In
dams hair curl into marcel wave and
his toe-nails CULVER in ecstatic bliss.
No taste to the first kiss Why it
tastes like the ambrosia of cherry bios
of the humming birds wings comes to
one as a siren song.
No taste to the first kiss!
The man who invented that phrase
must be an ice-box
