JUDGE DOE CALLED BY
 HIGHEST OF TRIBUNALS
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) From 1902 until 1908 he filled the same office by election and served with distinction. He was appointed in 1909 by President Taft as district judge and member of the supreme court of the territory, serving until January 1912.
 In recognition of his splendid legal ability, he was elected a member of the first constitutional convention, where he left his impress upon that notable document, though with that unfailing honesty which always guid- ed him in all affairs, he felt it was not all that it should be and refused to attach his signature to the docu- ment as completed.
 During the later years he has been the legal advisor for the Santa Fe Railway Co.,, Babbitt Bros., The Sagi- naw & Manistee Lumber Co.,, The Arizona Central Bank, and other firms of large interests, for he was an &C., knowledged master of the legal pro- fession and man of unassailable honor.
 Judge Doe was indeed disciple of the "Old School"- and kind ly, but with a courage that was in- domnitable, and ever ready to defend friend in need. During his life he was the closest friend of the late Dr. Lowell, whose brilliant intellec- tual attainment attracted him, and they were inseparable when conditions permitted.
 For thirty-two years he made his home in Flagstaff, and every year was marked with his impress, and his loss is most keenly felt by friends :x oxvo,-, ,x,ollr of l;fa

The Way of Song

The song that's borne on angel wings,
Is cherished in the heart that sings
1t sweetly rests in peace and love,
While angels minister above.
When it is done, someone on high,
Comes forward with joyous cry.
| know a heart that it will cheer
To bear the message am here ~
TIE angel waits moment then
Attunes his heart to that of men,
And softly gliding to earth's sphere,
Seeks for the heart in need of cheer
Such cry of millions come to him,
The purpose in his thought grows dim.
Were it not anchored from above;
The way he'd lose-n cries for Love-
Once more the angel sounds the chord,
That anchors him to man and God.
Then listening deep with heart aiame,
He softly hears single name.
AS speeds the arrow to its mark
So speeds the angel to this heart
Uplift in prayer they linger long
And thus another song is born.
