Mr. Thackeray once wrote these wise words:
''There is no hcirmjn being respected in this
world, as J have found out; and if you don't
bray a littleor yours" elf, depend on it there is '
no person of your acquaintance who will tell
the world of your merits and take the trouble off

A Gay and Itappy Time Was Enjoyed
The picnic was an unqualified suc
cess and all present, to the number of
fully 400 persons, enjoyed themselves
to the utmost. A better site than the
Wfiiilover place could not hare been
selected, the scenery beinx charming,
while the fresh oZJiie VTifted thlMUIi
the trees and over the surrounding
lulls instilled 110. v life and vigor into
nil who inhaled it. There was ample
space for the various sports and they
were conducted with all the abandon
of childhood, the elders for the lime
being forgetting that the ctre of a
sordid world had entered into their
lives, mid committed themselves unre
servedly to the gira-s which had made
life bright and hippy in their xounger
il.ixs All kinds of amusements were
indulged in the priucipil being the
baseball game and thu tug-of-tvar.
The Sheppinl clan defeated Ihe DoIe
contingent after a hotly contested game
on the diamond, and the honors ot the
uig-of war fell to the nine otuhr the
captaincy of J. C. Grim who tuide the
oilier side look very grim indeed.
Professor Wass in and his staff of
able assistants Mrs. Olney ami the
Misses Hetinessy and Bertha Smith
cannot be praised too highly for the
admirable arrangements made, while
the thanks of thu community are due
to the Arizona Limber & Timber Co.
for havjng so generously loaned their

to take the visitors to Ihe scene.-
