ROAD MATTERS.
Public Highways Discussed by the Com
missiOners.

The Wendover-H artville Sunrise roads,
about which a number of residents of
that vicinity have been bowling so Justify,
received the attention Of the county com
missioners at a meeting OF that body yes
terday. One thoroughfare from the ter
minus of the Cheyenne & Northern to the
mines was declared a public highway and
Supervisor Martin was instructed to at
once proceed to that locality and canvass
the feasibility of the proposed route be-
tween Wendover and the mines via the
ferry, Fairbank and Hartville. He will
be accompanied by the county surveyor
and road viewers. The compliments in
this instance seem imbued with the false
idea hat the commissioners are supreme
in road matters. Such is not the case.
They must proceed according to law.
The bond of Louis V. St. Clair as JUS
tice of the peace for IVA was presented
and approved, as was also the bond of
Colin McDougall as treasurer for school
district No. 9.
On notion, road viewers we're instruct
ed to survey and plat a ~thoroughfare from
Cottonwood to Hartville by the most
practicable route.

Not am Absurd Propositiou.

The problem with scientists is quite
open as to the cause of the red color of
the planet Mars. Astronomers, as rule,
venture guess that vegetation on that
world is red instead of green. This is
not at all absurd as a supposition. Our
own planet must have decidedly red hue
to observers during the brief season of
autumn coloring. But this is not all of
it. All foliage and all bark are rendered
perceptibly redder as winter approaches.
The young wood of trees is redder in win
ter than in summer. Is our own world
not slowly but surely developing roster
hue? Some punches are deep crimson
all winter, but green all summer. 1t is
evident that cold weather requires the
comparative withdrawal of green, and the
comparative predominance of red. AS the
world grows colder is it not growing also
redderg Mars is known to have a colder
climate than our own, and has probably
gone farther in it's floral adaptations to
the cold.-Globe- Democrat.

Formerly, when the physician. with his
Stethoscope. detected a certain abnormal
sound called cardiac murmur, indicating
heart trouble he said nothing about it to
the patient. or if he did reveal his discov-
cry he did so in such a way as to take
away natures most powerful restorative
hope. But change in the methods Of
physicians has been taking place in recent
years. Says The Medical Record:
1.-The opinion is now rooted in the minds
of the advanced guard of the profession
that cardiac murmurs are often devoid of
the grave significance formerly attributed
to them. So, too we have come to learn
that considerable damage to the valves
may be so thoroughly compensated by
hypertrophy (enlargement) that 1t seems
permissible to speak of recovery from
organic disease of the heart.
True, the anatomical lesion persists.
But the individual thus affected may live
for years, without impairment of his
health, and with working capacity in no
way reduced from his normal standard
The time has come when the prognosis of
despair must make way for the modern
doctrine of hope in the possibility of
cure. What was formerly equivalent to
a sentence of death may be commuted to
carefulness for life"
rheumatic FEVER or some othcr dlSeaSe
may have caused Inflammation of the lin
ing membrane of the heart. and thus laid
a foundation for permanent obstruction
to the flow of the blood through one or
more of the valves. But nature in time
overcomes this obstruction, not by re-
moving it, but by enlarging the heart and
increasing its force.
True, there may be at length q weaken
ing of the walls of the heart, and conse-
quent lessening of its ability to do its
work, and there may come on palpitation,
difficult breathing, cough and signs of
dropsy; but this failure may be due to
preventable causes.-Youth's Companion.

The prison messenger is a peculiar
character. He is attached to every police
court III the city, by what right no one
except himself knows. Although not
vested with any authority from local,
state or national powers. he has access at
all times to the prisons attached to the
police courts, and in the latter he appears
to be of more Importance than the regu-
lar officers paid by the taxpayers. He is
trustworthy and seems to have unbounded
faith in human nature. He conducts
business in this fashion: A respectable
young man happens to have been out late
and is arrested. In the morning he wakes
penniless and with no means of communi-
eating with his friends. The prison mes
senger understands the case in moment.
He offers his services, knowing that his
client will be only too anxious to make
good any expenses. He will run errands,
employ counsel, if necessary, and even
pay prisoners fine without security for
his outlay. The messenger seldom makes
O mistake. He has been known to adj
vance as much as 500 to prisoner who
was confined in the Tombs for q week,
without other security than the mans
word. For this little transaction tho
prisoner rewarded him with check for
$200.-New York Mail and Express.

The CLIMAX of Good Form.

If your real swells want to be really
English they must carry their respective
left hands buried to the wrist in their
respective left trousers pockets. All the
dudes in town have taken to doing it, and
every chappie on Fifth avenue after the
Wednesday matinees was actually lop
sided with the exertion of reaching the
very bottom seam of his left trousers
pocket. If you can let the tips of the
fingers of pair of tan colored gloves be
seen in juxtaposition to your left cuff.
just at the mouth of the pocket, you will
thereby proclaim yourself one of Wales
strictest adhercnts, ye knaw. Don't, as
you value your reputation for swellish-
ness, put your right hand in your right
pocket, for this is as much breach of
good form as it used to be to carry your
gloves with the fingers pointing aft in
stead of forward New York Mail and

A Tale frnm the North.

A tale comes from the far north, above
the Arctic circle, that mammoth carcasses
are found frozen in the ice, and that the
Indians chop them out and feed the meat
to their dogs. These carcasses are as we'll
preserved as if killed but yesterday,
although they have lain for who knows
how many thousand years in solidly
frozen state. Undoubtedly these animals
existed cocval with the glacial period and
were indigenous to a tropical climate;
therefore we must reason that this period
came on almost instantaneously, all liv-
ing animals were killed by tho extreme
cold, and before their flesh could putrefy
it became frozen.-Juneau (Alaska) Free
Press.

The name of Theebaw, formerly king of
Burmah, has almost passed into oblivion
so far as the general public is concerned.
1t has been revived in England, however,
owing to an inquiry as to what has be-
come of the treasure once possessed by
Theebaw. When Mandalay was captured
by Sir Henry Prendergast, i'll 1885, Thee
baw's palace contained booty valued at
twenty lakhs. Theebaw was permitted
to take away with him a few valuable
articles, but the larger part of his fortune
was seized by the English. And now,
after an interval of three years, certain
inquisitive Londoners are wondering what
became of the rich spoils which fell to
the conquerors.-New York World.

A Lesson ON slang.

1t was at the Institute of Technology,
few days before the close Of the term.
One of the professors had be>D troubled
by hearing some of the students indulg-
ing In slang Accordingly, when his class
had assembled to hear his lecture, he gave
them ten minute discourse on the use of
slang, told them how it was corrupting the
language, and that it's use was, among
persons of cultivation and refinement,
sure sign of i'll breeding. Then he went
on with his regular lecture, and at its
close called the attention of his class to
the fact that some of them had been re-
miss in their studies, and that it be-
hooved them to make up for lost time, or
they would fail to pass the approaching
examinations. 1.-The fact is, he con-
cluded. you've got to brace up or you'll
get left, which shows that preaching and
practice are often wide apart. Boston

The Aborigines Of calIfornia.

After 119 years of association with
white men in California, there is not now
in our state one first rate farmer, mechanic
or bookkeeper of pure aboriginal blood;
not one merchant or owner of a large herd
of cattle. Many Indians have been good
workers for few weeks or months at a
time in vineyards, orchards, hop fields,
grain fields and sheep shearing, but at the
close of the season they have wasted their
earnings in dissipation, and then lounged
about in idleness until another period Of
higher wages would stimulate them to
exertion. This mode Of life among the
men, the degraded character of the
women, the squalor of their dwellings,,
and the frequency of thefts near their
camps, render them very undesirable as
neighbors.
There never has been time since 1916
when an Indian disposed to work faith
fully could not get regular and profitable
employment; when he could not save
enough in year to pay for forty acres OF
land; and when after buying he could not
be protected in its possession. Thousands
of white men, after arriving in California
without dollar, became rich by toll and
economy; with better opportunities, for
he was here vixen the common laborer
could get SO or $20a day, not one Indian
has done so.-John s. Hittell In Overland

The Abyssinian houses are small ard
circular with roofs going to point, and
are mostly built of bamboo or cane and
only rarely of wood. AS rule, the peo-

BALLAD OF pREAMLANp.

hid my heart in q nest OF roses.
Out of the suns rays hidden apart,
In a softer bed than the soft white SHOWS is,
Under the roses hid my heart.
Why should sleep nots Why should it start
When never a leaf the rose tree st.rredg
What made sleep tiutter his wings and parts
Only the song of q secret bird.
Lie still, said, for the winds wing closes,
And mild leaves mufiie the keen suns dart;
Lie still. for the wind on the warm sea doses.
And the wind is unqueter yet than thou art.
Does q thought in thee still as q thorn's wound
smart?
Does the fang still fret thee of hope deferreds
What bids the lips of thy sleep disparts
Only tie song OF secret bird.
The green lands name that a charm incloses,
It never was writ in the travellers chart,
And sweet on its trees as the fruit that grows is
1t never was sold in the merchants mart.
The swallows OF dreams through its dim fields
dart,
And sleeps are the tunes in its tree tops heard;
No hounds note wakens the wild wood hart
Only the song of a secret bird.

To sleep for season and hear no word
OF the true loves truth or the light loves art.

HER DEAD LOVER.
Thirty Years Ago She Bade Hfm Good
 Bye.

Thirty Years Ago She Bade Hfm Good
 Bye.
 Shortly after six o'clock on a late evening woman took up her position near the southeast corner of the passenger station in Manchester, N. H. She was not far from fifty years of age. Her form was bent, her hair was eiIvered with years and anxiety, and her face was wrinkled and careworn. Her round gray eyes were deepened and seemed weary from constant watching. The weman's complexion must have been of the fairest blonde type years ago, as it was still white and well preserved considering her years. She was clad in dress of dingy, dark brown material. Closely wrapped about her shoulders was rusty, plaid shawl, and upon her head rested hat of faded black material, of style, or rather lack of style, unknown to the women of the present day. In her clasped hands she grasped a well-worn leather travelling bag. The sun was almost an hour from setting when she took up her position. It had sunk into the west and twilight had long given place to darkness when she ceased her weary vigil and sadly turned away.
 And not last night alone was the woman at her post. She had been there night after night, not for weeks and months only, but for long weary years The frost and bliz- gard of winter have given place to the sun shine and showers of spring, and the seed- time has been succeeded by the harvest many times over since she first took up her station in almost the self-sams spot that she did last night. Babes have been born, passed through their infancy, enjoyed the sports and pastimes of childhood, grown through youth to maturity, married and seen child hood of their own come to gladden. the homes which they have made, since this wo- man first began her weary vigils. The Man. chester Union tells her sad story:
 Nearly thirty years ago this woman, then young and fair, was eourted and admired by many. But upon one she fixed her affec- tions, and to him through all the years that have intervened she has remained as constant as the needle to the polar star. Her lover followed the sea as a means of livelihood, and one day he left her and went away on a voyage. Before he left they had pliehted their faith, and when he returned from his perilous journey in the glad spring time, when the buds blossomed and the birds car- oled and all nature seemed to rejoice, he was to lead her to the altar. But when the spring came her sailor lover did not return and no message came to explain his absence. Whether disaster or death prevented, or known, but he never came back. The grief long sickness, and when her bodily ills were healed her mind, alasl was diseased She became possessed of the hallucination that her lover was coming back, and as soon as she was able she went to che railway station since, winter and summer, spring and au- l tumn, in fair weather and foul, she has been
 there on the same errand. She is very re-
