truth when I deemed it best to write it for fear of any man or for favor from anyone on the face of the earth, that he is liar.
 Perhaps some one will want to know what are my views concerning death and the future. My answer is, I know nothing about death, that mystery that all men since the race | had its origin have faced. I know no more, about the future than the cave men knew. And you who read this know no more, and cannot know, 1 can truSt--no man can do more. "I came across this bit of verse some time ago. I do not know who wrote it, but it so well expresses my thought that pass it on as the adopt ed child of my brain as l face death, the grave and the great unknown:
 "I cannot feel That all is we'll, when darkening clouds conceal
 The shining sun.
 But then, I know God lives and loves; and say, since it is so
 Thy VIII De uOne.
 q do not see Why God should cen permit some things to be,
 When He is love,
 But l can see Tho often dimly through the mystery
 His hand above!
 "I do not know Where falls the seed, that have tried to SOW
 With greatest care,
 But l shall know The meaning of each waiting hour . below,
 "I do not look Upon the present, nor in natures book,
 To read my fate;
 But l do look For promised blessings in Gods holy book;
 And can walk.

day, had snappy program lined up and introduced Rev. Francis Bloy, of Mesa, principal organizer of the Flag staff club, as the first speaker. Frank was charged with the duty of telling what Rotary means to a community and the world in general. He said Rotary is Solving in the world today what the churches have been attempt ing for 1900 years; it fills the craving of human nature for the comradeship and friendship of man. :" It was an eloquent talk, full of pith, pep and point, and was followed by applause long and hearty, proof that it was deeply appreciated and that there is comradeship and friendship for him in the hearts of Flagstaff Ro- tarians.
 Miss Martha Dewey of the Normal school faculty, outlined the pageant to be given under the pines near here on either August IS or q. It was written by Normal students in Miss Dewey's classes and will portray the history of Arizona, since time began down to the present, in various epi- sodes, among them the period when there were only flowers and trees here, later the Indian period, then the time of the missionaries, then the Spanish occupation. Progressing, the | first settlers appear, followed by the military period and the capture o1 Geronimo, the Apache war chief. The lure of the metals, the cattle indus. | try, the lumber industry, a solo forest fire dance, and progress, furnish mo. tifs for other episodes.
 The Woman's club, the Elks, the Knights of Columbus, the Knights o1 Pythias and the Rotary club will each , care for one of the episodes. Ro. tary's will be the military episode and the capture of Geronimo. Indians from Tuba City will help and Rotar. ians will impersonate General Miles and members of his staff, soidiery etc.
 Professor Ross L. Finney, profes- sor of sociology, University of Min nesota, gave an interesting talk on Rotary's responsibility in stimulating general careful study of economic and social history in their bearing upon the points at issue between capital and labor, which MT. Finney believes will lead to eventual war unless intel ligent thought is devoted to heading it off.
 l, Guests were: Miss Dewey, MT. Fin ney, Dr. E. S. Miller, L. J. Anderson chief of the U. s. Veteran bureau af- fairs at Normal; George Myers, T.. D. Johnson of Phoenix, Captain Arthur Andy Anderson and Orinn Compton. The latter did things to the piano without which the fines of the rec reant singers would have been much more severe.

NEVER AGAIN

A philanthropic lady visited an asy- lum not long ago and displayed great interest ii the inmates. One old man particularly gained her compassion. And how long have you been here, my man? ?" she inquired.
 Twelve years," was the answer.
 "Do they treat you well?"
 "Yes."
 After addressing a few more ques- tions to him the visitor passed on. She noticed smile broadening on the face of her attendant, and, on asking the cause, heard with consternation that the old man was none other than the medical superintendent. She hur- ried back to make apologies. How successful she was may be gathered from these words: q am very sorry, doctor. I will never be governed by appearances again."
