Archaeological Discoveries in Colorado.

The psychologists have pretty clearly
established that a race of men familiar
with the arts that belong to civilization
inhabited America previous to the rule
Of the Indian. The red men of the
forest are disapp~ airing before the ad
vance of civilization, as civilization once
disappeared before the advance of the
savage hordes from the North. Is there
not some poetic Justice in all this? The
remains Of ancient civilization are
abundant in the Western Territories.
In Colorado many evidences Of antiquity
are presented. The Puebla People states:
"On the Las Animas river, in the coun.
ty of the same name, there are multi.
piled proofs Of the former habitations
of race Of men entirely different in
their habits and modes Of living from
the savage tribes of the plains. These
proofs consist of the remains of stone
houses, traces Of ;vrigating bitches
broken pottery, stone trays, which were
evidently used for crushing grain, and
earthen pipes of an entirely different
shape and make from any in use among
the savages. On San Francisco creek
and the Chicoso, in the same county,
the same evidences of the occupation
Of the country by an extinct race are
abspdant.s On the stream Last named
there is the course Of an ancient ditch,
evidently made for irrigstiHg purposes,
plainly and distinctly tfsc9stie for many
miles. At Canon City, in Fremont
relids of'thS Tsaiie nature were
ound on the first settlement Of that
place"

A Great Tree.Planting Contract.

Mr.. s. I. Kelsey, OF Pomona, Kansas,
is certainly the king Of American tree.
planters. Besides the immense planta.
tons he has made at Ottawa and at Po-
mona, amounting to many thousands of
acres, he has now q contract with the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
Company to plant along the line of it's
road a one-quarter section every ten
miles, from Hutchinson to the west line
of the State, the distance being in the
neighborhood of three hundred miles.
He has eight years in which to accom-.
plish the work. Mr.. Kelsey is to fur.
nish the stock, plant, and care for it.
For his services the road deeds to him
a section of land at each point of plant.
ing, the one quarter section to form a
portion OF it, and to be his property.
While this in time will constitute for.
tune for Mr.. Kelsey, the railroad com.
pany will be the greatest gamers by the
enterprise. FOR it will add millions to
the value Of its remaining lands. It
will also be q blessing to the whole
country of the great plains in demon.
strating, if successful, what varieties of
trees do best upon it, the period neces.
sary TO produce q remunerative forest,
the increased value of farms having
timber lots, and the best methods Of
planting and cultivating forest trees. It
will also stimulate the thousands now
settling up the plains to like efforts to
beautify and develop them. When the
story of Mr.. Kelsey's life.work is writ.
ten up, it will constitute one of the
most interesting and valuable chapters
OF Western history, and it will be
proud memorial to his ability, industry
and enterprise. May his days be length.

Down with the Side. Saddle.

Ever since Grace Greenwood went to
70 Semitic Valley and rode straddle,
the spirit of reform has been in the air.
1t is argued that the side.saddle is a
piece of barbarism, and as such should
be abolished. 1t certainly is hard upon
the horse, and it renders lady com.
paratively helpless. Notuntil woman
is privileged to ride straddle will she
stand on equality with man. Grace
Greenwood pronounces in favor of the
change, and we. are sure the horse will
not object. Down with the side.saddle.

The following afternoon was even

against the windows of the little room
in which Pansie and her father sat. Sc.
we're misfortune and reverses had re-
duced them to poverty, and the old
man being an invalid, all the care fell
upon Pansie's slender shoulder. She
sat busy with her sewing. while her
father read aloud from new book,
which she had bought for him with
some of the money received for her
jewels. Her sweet face was war. and
