Castro 'Alleged to Have Plotted Gomez Life (Continued from page 1) Castro apparently is unaware of his downfall or gravity of occurrences h Venezuela. The opinion is steadily gaining ground here that Castro's power is completely broken. "Arizona", which will appear at the Astoria Theatre Sunday, has made a career of uninterrupted success in al most every large city of the EasL It has played in New York at the Herald Square Theatre and the Acad emy of Music for over 150 consecu tive nights, and each and all of ths critics have universally agreed that it has achieved a distinction of being the only American drama by an American author which has ever reached this remarkable .record in theatrical history. Mr. Thomas has more than any other writer, laid the foundation and lower courses of the American drama which will one day develop into a most imposing institu tion. "Arizona" as the name implies, is a play which has its scenes, charac ters and incidents located in the far West The people of the play com prise the sturdy ranchmen and cow boys, the brisk, alert women of the pioneer generation and their dainty, graceful yet strong and self-reliant daughters, types of the American girl over which the whole world has come to wonder and admire, officers and soldiers, fair samples of the hetero geneous community which Mr. Thos. has chosen to utilize in the way of literary material. The piece is as full of bright color contrasts as the changing combina tion of a kaleidoscope. It fairly con trasts as the fresh, vigorous active life of the young West. It has a love story as tender and almost as tragic as that of "Romeo and Juliet," and it has a relief work of humor as ripe and unctuous as that which Mr. Thomas has previously shown us in "Alaba ma" and 'In Missouri" When the critics have said of "Arizona" that it is better than 'Alabama," they hare said all that they well could say IP praise of an American play. Factors of Safety The human body is a wonderful machine, provided with muscular, nervous and mental energy far in excess of normal needs. In health, the organs and tissues can do double their usual amount of work without strain or friction, because they bave stored energy to meet the extra demand. When you feel "all tuckered out," these factors of safety are nearly exhausted and you need to resort to to renew the supply of energy, wherever it may be called for. Indigestion, bilious attacks, constipation, loss of sleep, ner vousness, dizzy spells, are warnings that the factor of safety in the stomach, liver, bowels or brain, is low, or nearing the danger point and needs to be replenished. Beecham's Pills increase the supply of blood, strengthen the stomach, operate the bowels, feed the nerve cells, build tissue, and create a reserve supply of energy, which is the only natural and effective way to Protect the Health la bona with full directions, 10c. and 2 Sc. W ml INDIANS DISAPPEARING. Man Who Knows Says They Will Soon be Cone. ' HELENA, Dec. 22.-"Three gene rations more and I don't believe there will be a real Indian left in the coun try," said Special Agent Samuel Cone of the Indian Service today. Mr. Cone is here as a witness before th grand jury. He has spent the greater portion of his life in the Indian serv ice. "White men's clothing and houses have signed the death warrant of-ths Indian," continued Mr. Cone. "Con sumption and other diseases of a civi lized people have gotten a footing in every reservation in the country, and the ranks of the full bloods are being decimated rapidly. This is particu larly true of the older Indians who roamed the plains and mountains be fore the creation of reservations and who have not been constitutionally fitted for the changed environment." 1 By Way of Exptrimsnt. Not lon;r ago thera wno a certain Salesman In a dry goods shop of an Ohio city who was habitually observ ing to bis fellow clerks that the con cern would find It rather difficult to get aloug without him. These re marks coming to the ear of the senior partner of the firm, he decided to In terview his clerk concerning them. "Mr. flpotts," said the partner, with a grim smile, "ulthnucb yon bave not proved to be cur most efficient clerk, yet we bave appreciated such service as you have condescended to render u during the Intervals when you were not expatiating on your own merits. Now we have lately beard It .Raid that If you were to dio the bualneHs would have some trouble In surviving the loss. This has worried us a good deal, for yon, like all of us, are liable to drop off at any moment "For this reason, therefore, we bave concluded, for our peace of mind, to experiment while all of us are In good health In order that we may ascer tain whether the firm can bear up under your loss. You will accordingly consider yourself dead for the period of one month, and we will try to see whether we can get along without you for that length of time." Harper!. a mm MESSAGE TO HIS PEOPLE BISHOP SCADDINO OK OREGON DIOCESE SENDS WORDS OF GREETING. The Aslorinn i in receipt of the fol lowing Christmas meisigc from Hillt op Scadding, of the Episcopal Church of Oregon, with request that it be published. Doubtle many of the members of that church In this local ity, and of other churches, also, wilt be quickened by reading the word of abundant good-will and cheer contain ed in this message: A merry Christmas to you one and all, my dear members of our diocesan family. At this joyous season my heart goes out in loving greeting to all our clergy and laity, to the faith ful in active city parish, to friends without the diocee, to the patient and sometimes discouraged workers in our distant missions, of ranchers far sway who can have no opporunity to jiuke their Christmas communions, to our Auxiliary women, and the dear chil dren, to the occasional worshiper with u. and also to those baptised and comirmed members of our Father's family who rarely, if ever "praise God in the congregation"; -to all may Con) give in abundance the cheer and con tolations of the Christmas truth. How all thoughts of self, our tucceises and failure, of the Indifference of friend, of the uuicsponsivenrts of fellow workers of false judgment of our actions, and misinterpretation of our motives, take to themselves wing and fly away, ami our hearts glow with joy and love when we meditate on the marvel of the Incarnation, on the great wonder of the Love of Cod. The world apart from Christ gives us ni idequate assurance that Cod is Love, although Robert Browning has taught us to say "He that crested love, shall He not love?" But that God is love it is this that our Lord guarantees. It is this love which furnbhes the motive power to carry out the object of the Incarnation expressed in the command of Christ "As the Father hath sent me, even to send I you." The call of the Incarnation to you and me is personal and complete. We are aked in invest ourselves. The motive, after all, which must move the church, is not proportionate giving or syste matic giving, pleas for money, various incitements to duty, or the crying needs of heathen at home or the heathen abroad. It is the example and direct command of the Incarnate Lord. The "" and the "" of that command are equal. His coming into the world cot Him poverty, persecu tion, agony, and crucifixion. He grip ped the world by renouncing it, and we mutt continue and complete His work as Ilia commissioned ones, for He invests us with the same program of renunciation, and the same promise of victory. I rail upon you, dear people, to Invest yourselves, body, soul and mind In the service of our Incarnate Mauler; then there will be no "missionary problem" and no lack of means for church support. The Incarnation of the Son of Cod it not a speculation of the understanding. It is incomparably the greatest fact in the whole history of our race, tnd as such it imposes on ui correspond ing moral duties, to that it it no exag geration to say, "Were the whole realm of nature mint That were an offering far too small; Love to amating, to Divine, Demands my tout, my life, my ill," Affectionately, Your Bishop tnd fellow-servant in the Lord, CHARLES SCADDINO, Bishop of Oregon. mlJ - .-'..!-.. 11 J!'""""""l M AS GOOB Are Hurrying Away.
