IN MEMORIAM

Many the day and happy year
With Dear Father we have spent
And while we had his company
We always felt content.
But now the time has changed, alas
Cruel death did us part;
But thoughts of him, so dear to me,
Shall never leave my heart.
Now gone is he from all who loved
him dear
To one who died to save;
Our Father, whom we loved so dear,
Now slumbers in his grave.
His Daughter,
Mrs. Jos. T. Belill
and Family.

course, but when it is reinforced, so
to speak, by an avalanche of cake
such as the ladies of the Montrose
Brick Church have a reputation for
making, why, it's simply irresistible.
Oh! cake! cake! fer goodness sake,

Bought Dauhney building.

Yesterday deal was closed wher-
by Ole Anderson, the barber pur-
chased the Mrs. Altha Daubney store
building now occupied by the Klean-
all Suitatorium. The consideration,
we understand was over $1,000.
Messrs. Nesheim & Ness of the
Kleanall have purchased the Lars
Severson building on East Water
street. They expect to move shortly
ard the building was going to to be
rented for barber shop 10 be con.
Quoted by Hartwig Renaas, but since
the building was sold We do not
know whether that deal will material
lie or not. Mr.. Anderson has secured
a very good piece of property in this
building. 1t is in fine location
right in the heart of the business
houses, and makes a very valuable
piece of property. What his inten-
lions to do with the building, at the
present time, we are not aware.

Soaking The Public.

A recent writer notes that when
a survay was made of certain pro-
posed improvement, the sand and
gravel needed could be had in the
neighborhood for three cents cubic
yard. But when the job was put
through, the price of this material
was run up to so cents. Yet pro-
badly the people who thus lacked
up prices were among those who
complain because public work costs
so much, and it is so hard to get
improvements put through.
Property owners retard the pro-
gress of their home section when
they ask high prices for materials
used in public improvements. II
will be a great help to the advance
of DEBORAH and surrounding country,
if every one who has supplies OF
materials to sell for public purposes,
will treat his city and county and
state just as well as he would a
neighbor and friend.

ONLY RELICS OF LOST RACE
Network of Canals All That Remains
of Early DweIlers In the
Arizona Deserts.

BY far the most interesting remains
of the lost people of Arizona are their
network of canals which prevail
through the valleys. The longest is
the one tapping the ella river and
which supplied with water the ancient
city, now marked with the one stand
ing building. This is the Casa Grapde.
about which so much has beenswritten
and which has so excited much inter
est among psychologists in the last ten
years. ~ -. = a.
The volume of water taken out by
this canal must have been immense,
for it supported millions of acres. In
most places the canal has been filled
with drifting sand, but its course is
easily traced. Engineers who located
the Maricopa canal made use of the
old Aztec ditch and today water runs
over its pebbly bottom just as it did
1000 or 1900 years ago.
For miles and miles around mounds
tell the tale of houses destroyed by
the ravages Of time. PhoeniXswas
built on the ruins of this ancient city
and there relics frequently are found
of this ancient civilization.

LIGHT.

Darkness begets evil; gloom and
doom have more in common than a
similar sound.
Sunlight purifies, exalts, inspires;
bring lofty thoughts and high ideals
Shadows shelter wrong; blackness
furthers faithlessness, plots, in,
trigue, infidelity and treachery. Guy
Fawkes fathered the famous Gun
powder Plot aided by dank, damp
darkness.
Steel rings in the daylight and
clanks in the dungeon. Genius is of
ten found in an attic but it has never
been associated in the minds of men
with the murk of cellars. The sun
steals through the roof cracks and
throws light on things which dwell
lers in cellars dim and cherries
never see. y
Set your brain awash in sum
shine; let Old Sol seep in and creep
in and cleanse the works. When he
polishes up the wires. wheels and
spindles, your ideals and outlook
will be brighter, your intellect quick
er, keener and your spirits light and
buoyant as glistening bubbles,

Many Tales Concerning Fishes.

In the Arabian Nights" is the we'll
known tale of the priceless diamond
which the fisherman takes from a fish
and which, placed on a shelf In cot
tage. gives so much light that they are
saved all expenditure in oil and which,
when sold, makes the family rich for
ever and forever. In Scandinavian
myths is that of the long-lost crown
which the fishes kept down among the
rocks till the real heir TO the throne
came a-fishing, when they rolled it into
his net; in Russian, that of Ivan, who
finds the all-impOrtant ring by the help
of the perch-the herrings try to lift
the casket TO the surface, but fail, and
so two dolphins came and put their
shoulders TO the wheel and the ring is
regaiued.

Early Meeting Houses.

The earliest New England meeting
houses were built in valleys and
meadow lands, much the same as the
first Old First church in Springfield,
for here ii was that the homes were
located. For time it was required
that all homes should be built within
half mile of the meeting house, for
the most part to afford protection TO
the settlers. since the building did
duty as fort as well as house of
worship.
As the population increased and new
settlers came into the villages the half
mile radius became too crowded to
permit this to continue. 1t was neces-
sary to go some distance to pasture
the cattle and for this reason the law
was cancelled.

COULDN'T FACE THE UNKNOWN
From Hungry Tiger When Other
Escape Was Impossible.

1t is related that native of India,
who had learned some of the elemen-
tary principles of jugglery and contor-
ton, put his knowledge to decidedly
practicable as well as novel use one
evening when he was walking upon a
ridgy plain.
When the Hindu had reached the top
of one of the mounds he saw tiger
ahead of him, 500 or 600 yards away.
Before the man could hide behind a
mound the tiger had seen him and be-
gan to bound toward him at it's top
most speed. Having no means of de-
tense there was nothing for the man to
do but to race for the nearest tree, but
though he tried it and put forth his
utmost strength the tiger steadily
gained on him.
What was he to do? In sheer des-
peration he resolved upon an unusual
scheme. Just as he. disappeared for
an instant from the tigers sight in
running over ridge he halted,
stretched out his legs ut right angles,
curled down his head so as to look be-
tween his legs TO the rear and extend
ell his arms upward in fantastic
manner, like the sails of windmill.
In few seconds the tiger hove in
sight, and at that instant the face of
the object assumed a hideous grimace.
A prolonged yell arose, such as had
perhaps never before pierced the ear
of any tiger, and the sails of the wind
mill began to revolve backward and
forward, as If sudden whirlwind had
burst upon the scene.
The tiger recoiled. What, he evil
IDENTIFY thought, is this? There stood n
ferocious star-shaped monster, gigan-
tic against the sky It's vise-like jaws.
between which those fiendish roars
were issuing, were actually placed
above it's two fiery eyes. Its limbs
were furiOusly clamoring for action;
and the man he had been chasing,
where was he? Already devoured by
this terrible beast The tiger did not
pause to reflect. He turned tail. and
as he disappeared over friendly
ridge last awful yell caused him to
redouble his pace. He was conquered
by the unknown.

Animals Warned by Instinct.

An animal will often manifest the
widest alarm at the sight of snake,
or on hearing one hiss, although it
has never before come in contact with
one of these reptiles. This power of
transmitting experiences is a wonder
full provision of nature, for II every
living creature had TO learn entirely
by It's personal experience to avoid its
enemies and ascertain what kinds Of
food were wholesome or the reverse a
great number of species would rapidly
become extinct.
