Many Cheyenne people will remember
Geo. Green, a job printer employed by
the Bristol & Knabe Printing company
some two years since. The Magic City
friends of the young man will learn with
sorrow that he was recently taken from
Rawlins to his Boulder, Colo, home a
helpless paraIytic. George was sober and
industrious and comes of an excellent
family. He was never strong physically,
but it was always believed that the end
would be far different. For years a hack
ing cough disturbed his slumbers and rem
dered life almost unbearable.

you think it has a dreamy, far-away
sound, very telling?
Sad indeed we were to hear of the
sickness and death at Vine cottage.
AT such seasons words are vain and de-
void of consolation, however true and
tender, and we are constrained to cry
out, like one of old, " Let me bury my
dead" Then, after q time, God will
ing, we lift again our burdens, grown
heavier with the weight of an added
sorrow, and 90 the old accustomed
round. | wish | knew how many
Pollys there were in the circle. am
all mixed up on the Polly question,
while the other sisters stand out in a
clear personality that is all their own.
Helen Dorcas is the elder, for we knew
her long ago in the Patrons Rural.
Evergreen is our cultured sister and we
are justly proud of her and the we'll
filed portfolio from which she so in
diligently brings the well-digested re-
suits of her travel and observation.
Yes, Polly of Vine cottage, Josiah was
not only cheerful" he was angelic.
If il hadn't been for that everlasting
newspaper under his nose | should have
feared that his wings were in embryo.
Grandma True, don't you do as you
proposed and stop writing. | shouldn't
a bit wonder if you had had " call !"

generation, and call " is something
conscientious woman like yourself
will never resist. BY the way, you
didn't say word about your politics.
Now l should be an out-and-out " free
trader" if it wasn't democratic, but
nothing would induce me to join the
democrats, not even if they should in
sert temperance plank (Which they
won't do, and wouldn't live up to it if
they did) and woman's suffrage plank
beside. No, that war of the rebellion
is too near, and have not forgotten
how my young blood used to boil at the
traitorous harangues of the northern
democratic press and its followers. So

even if the surplus revenue is piled up
in Washington till it topples over into
the Chesapeake bay, and the poor man

richer. Yea, if even the old party
of which we were once so proud as the
advocate of human liberty and the eX-
ponent of all that is best in good gov
eminent should, while casting an
eye backward toward the vote of the
saloon procession, turn deaf ear to the
cry of its victims which reaches our
ears and strikes pity to our hearts amid
the click, click of the political wires,
and rises clear and distinct above the
clamor and clap-trap of party strife.
Well, there is one advantage in being
women: we can despise such methods,
and sag so, and lose no votes thereby.

Never Brighten Children.

Many children are very sensitive to
sights and sounds. They may have
strength enough to conceal their emo
tons when others are present, and
they are, perhaps, ashamed to appear
scared when others are only amused
but they carry their impressions into
their beds, sleep is driven away from
their pillows, or when it comes, bad
dreams come also, and the little suf-
ferer losses all night in constant fear
of what it has seen. The child shuts
its eyes, but the image is there and is
as visible and terrible in the dark and
to its closed eyes as if the sun was
shining, and more so, because with
the return of light more than half the
horror dies out. In my childhood a
nurse shut me up in dark closet by
way of punishment. remember keep
ing close to the door, in awful horror
of what might be in the back part of
it, every moment trembling lest /
should be seized by some fearful being
dwelling in the blackness of darkness.
There is no one thing which parents
should more carefully guard against
when they trust their children to the
care of nurse, than this sin of fright.
ening them. The shock given by one
fright, when the system is delicate
frail and eXquisitely sensitive, may be
fatal in early life, if spared a Ions
misery.

Chitchat.

One by one we gather in our accus-
toned places, despite the sickness and
divers troubles that have prevailed in our
circle for the past six months. Do you
really believe that it was because so many
of us failed to write for the column that
made the writer so severe? / merely
offer this as a suggestion. After all,
the flowers are not so very different
from the homely human element of the
column. The fresh sweetness of May
and the delicious fragrance of June
have seemed to affect each in about the
same degree. Indeed, if mistake not,
we have responded the more readily,
but our floral sisters will never with
stand the glowing heat of July sun
without bursting into vocal fragrance
and beauty. Then alert for the well
come sound, we will list to the trend of
their advent and gladly drink in the
