MOTHER

What word in any language ELECTS more
tender or fonder memories than mother?
Ii recalls her watchful solicitude and low
ing care through childhoods happy hours,
her sleepless nights and gentle ministra-
tons in periods of trying illness, her
sympathy in our disappointments, her par
ticipation in our delights, her firm but
gentle training, her faithful advice, her
everlasting devotion from the cradle to
the grave, giving at all times the best
that is in her to our welfare and protec
ton. In granting to woman the privilege
of motherhood, an All-wise Providence
has given her the power of making and
shaping our future course in life, her sub
tie but all-powerful influence remaining
with us throughout our career, acting as
a cloud by day and pillar of fire by
night guiding us onward and upward,
ever leading to higher ideals and greater
accomplishments. 1t is but justice to say
of them the mothers of America that they,
more than any other factor, have moulded
character of the community, have inspired
its members to better lives, have stimu
lated its men to achieve distinction in their
respective calling, to be just, to be con-
tent to love their home and it's inmates,
to respect the rights of their fellowmen,
to uphold the lands laws, in short to be
a man in all that the world implies. They
have our love, our respect, our admiration,
and we give thanks to the Almighty that
He has placed the responsibility for our
training, development and inspiration in
such efficient and affectionate hands. God
bless our mothers.-SeleCted.

There is the treaty of 1903 with France
which arranged for what is probably the
greatest real estate "deal" in history-the
Louisiana Purchase. There is the treaty
with Spain, which added Florida to the
new republic and the uncompleted treaty
with the independent republic of Texas
which led to the only instance in which
separate nation has merged itself with
the United States. Near them in the files
of the state department are the treaties
with Mexico adding to the United States,
California and the other territory west of
Texas and south of Oregon; the treaty
with Great Britain adding Oregon; the
treaty with Russia arranging for the
second greatest purchase of territory, the
Alaska Purchase; and the treaties which
have resulted in bringing Hawaii, the
Philippines, Port Rico, Guam, and' the
Virgin Islands under the American flag.

Waukiau's departure from his home.
Arriving at the distant shore of Lake
Superior, he paused. There he stood,
looking out over the vast expanse of
peaceful water, and while he stood look
ing he breathed so deeply that his breath
set the water of the lake in motion. But
the water seemed to recall to his mind
the lake of his home, and that in turn to
recall his beautiful dream; for he again
flew into rage, and again cast bolts of
fire among the trees
Then, abandoning himself completely to
his passion, he shrieked wildly, rose from
the earth and vanished in the sky All
that remained of the giant was his foot
prints on the boulders on Lake Superior's
shore.
The thunder returns sometimes to its
former home. Though the old oak in
which Waukiau slept disappeared long
ago. he still likes to visit the charming
lake. But the instant he recalls his sweet
dream the anger within him rises to such
a pitch that he makes the heavens re-
sound. Unable to endure the reminder of
his disappointment, he again vanishes.

ON MOTHERS DAY

On Mothers Day-a day apart
I like to wear close to my heart
A fragrant flower pressed;
AS once my head upon her breast
Lay still, 0 sweetest rest!
She's nearer on this day of days
When am lifted up in praise
For her dear love, a purging fame
That keeps my feet from paths of
shame;
She's nearer, and l think she knows
The reason why wear this rose.

LEGEND OF THE DAKOTAS

On the Minnesota prairies, not far from
the St. Peters River, lies placid lake,
hidden by oak trees. 1t was about this
secluded spot that the Dakota Indians told
their children a wonderful legend.
They told it also, according to report,
to John Smelling, son of the United States
officer who gave his name to Fort Shell
ing. And so men have told and retold
the Indians tale of the prairie.
The Dakotas named this region the
home of the thunder. Here, in the shelter
of the old oaks, the thunder, which they
called Waukiau, is said to have been un-
expectedly Weakened from his long sleep.
The event started every living thing.
From the earliest times Waukiau rested
by the shore. Curled up on the gnarled
branches of the oldest oak the giant slept
from the beginning of the world-slept
deep sleep in the quiet of the primeval
forest. But during a beautiful dream he
moved-drew full breath and moved.
Then he first revealed his true nature to
denizens of the wood.
The giants breath smote the old oak.
Overcome by the blow the oak now bowed
its head and its gnarled branches let his
heavy body fall to the ground whereupon
the great vault of heaven resounded for a
time. But amid the rumbling he sprang
to his feet-a huge form, blinking its dazed
eyes, and still dreaming the sweet dream!
How frightful, Waukiau, who smiled 50
mildly in sleep-how frightful now to be-
hold!
Dark clouds soon enveloped the naked
body of the awakened thunder. But as he
leaned against the protruding roots of his
oak tree he flashed fire from his eyes and
from his mouth, and, besides, he struck
fire with his hands. In fact he became so
frightful that the Indians and the wild
deer, seeing Waukiau awake and furious,
fled from him in terror.
And even the birds, seeing him relapse
into another, still more violent rage, hid
in the foliage; for he stalked forth with
stride mile long. Advancing over the
tops of the great trees as if they were soft
grass beneath his feet, he moved across
forest and lake of his rolling prairie and
far beyond the Mississippi. Such was

GOOD CHEER

Good cheer is contagious. 1t is an out
ward expression of an inward faith that
Gods in His Heaven,
ALPS right with the world"
The man who radiates good cheer, who
makes life happier wherever he meets it,
is always man of vision and of faith.
He sees the poisoning flower in the tiny
seed, the silver lining to every cloud, and
a beautiful tomorrow in the darkest today.
Good cheer is something more than faith
in the future, it is gratitude for the past
and joy in the present. Life for all of us
has its hardships and disappointments. 1t
is out of such stuff as this that human
character is made. But after all this
world is pretty good place and we at
least owe each other the courtesy of a
smiling face and the inspiration of a
CHEEKY word.
To go about our work with pleasure, to
greet others with word of encourage
ment, to be happy in the present and con-
fdent of the future, this is to have
achieved some measure of success in liv-
ing.-Edzvin Osgood Grocer.

WHERE AMERICAS VALUED DOC
UMENTS ARE KEPT

The most important chronicles of some
ancient nations have come down to present
generations engraved on porphyry and
marble. The United States, however, hav-
ing existed wholly in an "age of paper"
has all its most precious historical records
in the form of paper documents, which
can easily be destroyed by fire, and in
jured by dampness, extreme dryness, or
rough handling.
A recent fire, which destroyed ir-
placeable records in the census bureau at
Washington, and an almost simultaneous
fire in the state capitol of West Virginia,
which practically wiped out the archives
of that state, have reinforced the argu-
ment of those urging that freproof hall
of records be built in Washington so the
federal governments priceless papers may
be kept in safety.
While the Constitution is the most i'm
portant document possessed by the United
States, the Declaration of Independence
comes first among our great state papers
in point of time and probably in the hearts
of the American people. The original
of this challenge to tyranny which, like
the shot fired at Lexington, has been heard
round the World, and has helped to
mould monarchies and colonies into re-
publics, is in the hands of the department
of state and is kept in steel case in the
State, War and Navy building, which ad-
joins the White House ON the west The
original of the Constitution is locked in
the same case, which may therefore be
considered the steel Ark of the Covenant
of the government of the United States.
Washington's farewell address may
fairly be considered one of the greatest
papers produced in the 145 years of the
republics independence. This document
is not owned by the federal government,
but is kept in the New York public library,
at Forty-second street and Fifth avenue.
The next paper to stand out as a mile
post in the shaping of national policy
is the message to congress by President
Monroe proclaiming the Monroe Doctrine.
The original message is in the files of the
senate in the capitol building at Washing
ton. The Gettysburg address of Lincoln,
scrawled in longhand, is in the library of
congress at Washington.
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation
is in the library of the state department
in Washington, and there too are all the
treaties entered into by the United States,
from that of 1878 with the French and
that of 1888 which closed the Revolution,
down to the present. Among these per-
haps the most interesting are those which
have contributed to the great territorial
growth of the country.

O:-Who first introduced irrigation and
where first practiced Wv. r.
A:-Irrigation was practiced extensive
ly in Egypt more than 1000 years before
the Christian era, also used by the peo-
Piles of Persia, India, China, Mesopotamia,
and other eastern countries having arid
climates. In New Mexico and Arizona
and other portions of the U. S. are traces
of vast irrigation systems by forgotten
races. In 1866 irrigation for India was
advocated by Sir A. Cotton and others at
the Social Science congress at Manchester.
O-Are there any books in the library
near the Sea Bride or Coral Islands? If
so please give their numbers-G. N.
A:-3476, 3497, 1886, 3489 (a), 3489 (b).
O-What is the difference between
air and atmosphere? Is air visible? p
w. r.
Air is the name given to the COM
pound of gases forming the substance of
the atmosphere. Both words are used in
a more or less synonymous manner, but
literally the atmosphere is composed of
air, and the term atmosphere is used much
as the word ocean is used to designate
that part of the earths surface which is
covered with water. Atmosphere itself
has no color but has wonderful power of
reflection. AS gas it is invisible but
owing to the reflection of the blue light
rays of the sun it has blush appearance
which is noticeable only at long distances
and in the sky.
O:-Why was the sandwich so called?
S. H.
A:-The Earl of Sandwich (171S-1792)
on one occasion, not wishing to leave his
place at the gaming table, called waiter
and ordered some slices of bread with
ham between them to be brought to him,
so that he could go on playing without
interruption. To this combination his
friends gave his name
Q:-How did "pig iron" come to be so
caled?-E. B.
A:-When iron is melted it runs off into
channel called sow and the lateral
branches are called pigs; therefore when
the iron cools it is called pig iron. Now
the word sow is from the Saxon "sawan"
to scatter; obviously having sow for the
main, or parent channel it didn't require
very much wit to name the grooves little
pigs, or the product pig iron.

Three Fine Fish Caught In River
 Near City Bridge

Three fine specimens of the finny tribe created considerable excitement yesterday at Pinney and Robinsons sporting goods store on Center sereet. The fish were caught in the Salt river by W. H. McKitterick, who brought his prize catch to Pinney and Robinson's store to find out what kind of fish he shared within the boundaries of the city of Phoenix. He was informed the fish are what is known to the anglers as crappie. The largest one weighed three pounds and the other two were almost the same size. The fish were such beautiful specimens, and being caught in the valley, it was decided to put them on ice that valley visitors and the home folks could see with their own eyes the kind of a catch 1t is pos sible to make in Arizona
 MT. McKitterick has been doing some early rising lately and each morning he hustles down to the slough about half a mile west of the Center street bridge, where on several former occa- sions he made several fine catches Two weeks ago he caught 26 chappie in less than five hours and Thursday he landed IS. It was hard to get his friends en- thused in the fish story and the doubt ing ones were treated 10 fin dinner before they would believe him.
 According to MT. McKittrick the cr1pple are pienlllu1 III the r1N6r and the best success was had by using live bait, although they have been known to strike at spinners. There are several kinds of fish in this particular hole and several good catches of Verde trout and catfish have been reported as well as crappie.
 Fish fans can find this popular fish ing hole without much difficulty, as it is only two miles from the center of C.n to the bridge across the Salt river and walk down the north bank about one half mile. When you reach the large slough just bait your hook. throw it in the water and pull out fish. It's easy -the other anglers say so and they've been spending their time at this par ticular slough for some time.
