Hellman's second annual free ball was
a pretentious affair. The number pres
ent was very large, Keefe hall being
crowded. The music was good and dane,
ing continued till after midnight.
During the year Hellman has given

CLOSED FOR A TIME.
The Saddle Rock Restaurant In the
Hands of Mortgagors.

Geo. Lyons Saddle Rock restaurant,
the finest short order establishment in
the territory and n OF the institutions
OF the capital was closed yesterday. The
proprietor turned the place over to the
Cheyenne National bank aud Mayor
Riner, whose claims. in the shape of first
and second mortgages, amount to only
$667.
1t Is said that Mrs. Lyons, who is now
in Colorado, will return to Cheyenne in
about ten days and reopen the place.
This failure, the first of the year, is not
due to lack of patronage by any means,
as the Saddle Rock boasted a large
clientele of cash customers. Lyons, az
cording to rumor was a triae prodigal IN
his management of the place.

and boarding school for the accommoda.
ton of students from a distance. The
president has learned by correspondence
and by intercourse with the public that a
large majority of citizens having children
whom they had thought of sending to the
university are reluctant to do so until
they can be placed under the immediate
supervision OF the faculty. Others are
influenced by the expense of providing
for their sons and daughters in private
families; and on these two grounds a con.
siderable number of students are now de-
MED the privileges of the institution. The
trustees have not procured estimates of
the cost of such a building. but assume
that the sun of $4,000 would meet the
present demand. The building could be
planned to admit of enlargement. We
have felt reluctant to present this need of
the university, but are constrained to do
so by the convection that the interests
represented BY the institution are suffer
ing on account of this present deficiency"

Charlie Kirkland's dog Nibbs died
yesterday. Nibbs has been in the ring
thirteen years and during that time mani
aged to reach honored old age and learn
nearly as much as a human being. When
a youth Nibbs was bouyant and pugna-
cious, but of late years has been sedate
and philosophic. He knew a number of
little tricks and delighted TO entertain his
masters friends Nibbs understood the
photograph business and many a time has
he helped Charlie take things.
Nibbs was a popular canine.

Wyoming's interstate commerce Is sad
ly handicapped at present by the irregu-
larity of mails and general decentralization
of the service. A recent typical instance
was the slow journey of a letter from
Granite Canyon station eighteen miles
west, to Cheyenne. The missive was five
days on the road. After a few such ex-
perieuces with the fast mail the citizens
of that vicinage seriously contemplated
~petioning for a star route from this place.
1t is understood hat since the complaint
about this case an order has been promul-
gated i%usuring the better handling of
matter By the fast mail.
The service between Denver and this
place is pretty bad.

A Pigs Long Fast.

Here is testimony to the value of fat
On the l4th Of December, 1910, pig was
buried in its sty through the fall of part OF
the cliff under Dover Castle, England
The sty consisted of cave in the rock
about six feet square, and boarded in
front; and when the accident happened
the pig was in good condition, weighing
about 100 pounds. Five months after
wards, on the 23d of May, 1911, some
workmen who were engaged in clearing
away the debris of the fallen cliff, men
toned to DIR. Mantell, a well-known
geologist Of the day, and fellow of the
Linnean Society that they were sure they
heard the pig whining. He thought the
statement incredible, but ordered them to
clear away the chalk as fast as they could !;
and, sure enough, when they got to the sty,
the pig was there, weak and emaciated,
fallen to only fourth of his former
weight, but alive. In 100 days he had
been strictly self-supporting, living on the
store of fat he had laid up in more pros
porous times. There were, however, evil
dences of his sufferings in the wood that
shut in the sty being nibbled away in
places, while he licked the sides of the
cave smooth in his attempt to obtain the
moisture exuding from the rock.

scholarship, fine intelligence, devoted zeal
and exquisite taste. No man ever loved
more dearly the name and memory of
Shakespeare, and no worker ever toiled in
a more affectionate spirit, or with more in
cessant and tender industry to serve the
cause of Shakespearean scholarship. His
catalogues were maryels OF perspicuity and
beauty. His handwriting was singuIarly
handsome, and he rejoiced in doing his
work thoroughly-so that his manuscripts
are an ample satisfaction TO the mind as
well as to the eye. He had Just completed
catalogue of all existing editions of Shakes
peare in every language, and it was
his intention to obtain every one of those
editions for the Shakespeare Memorial
Library. He had put the collection of
books now at the Memorial in perfect
order and he had largely increased it bv
his wise and timely and always tasteful
solicitations of volumes from all accessible
sources. He was in particular proud of
the American department of the library.
and under his judicious and fostering care
that section of it had considerably grown.
American visitors were always cordially
welcomed by MIR. Hawley; he delighted in
showing to them such treasures as the
library possessed, and he derived great
pleasure from their cordial sympathy with
the institution and its purposes. His plans
for the advancement of the Memorial were
ambitious, comprehensive, wise, and prac-
teal. He wished, among other things. to
obtain every book or other publication
about Shakespeare that ever was issued in
any part of the world-Neic York Tribune.

Cheap Store,

shop-keepers reputation is great
part Of his stock in trade By some means
or other people must be led to see, or al
least believe, that he sells good articles at
low prices.
This was the theory of Hiram J. Miner
who, forty or fifty years ago, set up shop
in Camden, n. y, with capital of $40
He meant not to be undersold by any other
trader.
A merchant across the way offered a
customer some little articles worth a shill-
ing for penny off The man crossed over
to Mr.. Miner and reported the fact, upon
which he was Immediately offered it at a
penny lower still. Not to be outdone the
first man dropped another penny.
Back and forth the countryman went
till he was tired. Then he took his station
in the middle of the street, while the sales
men in the opposite doors, prompted by
their employers, who kept out of sight,
bid the prices down to nothing.
Then they began to offer SO much to the
man if he would take the article-one
penny, twopence and so on-till finally
Miner bid a shilling, and his rival gave ii
up. The happy customer took his spur
chase and his shilling, and went off to
spread the news. No doubt he proved an
efficient walking advertisement at all
events it was the received opinion in
Camden and all about that things were
always cheapest at Miners.
One day, it is said, boy called at the
Camden postoffice and inquired If there
were any letters for his family. YES
the Postmaster said, there was one.
" What is the price p asked the boy, for
it was before the days of cheap and pre-
paid postage.

master.
"Oh, WE'LL went take it at that price. p

The Gospels in Manuscript,

A manuscript copy of the Gospels, fol-
which the price of $4,000 has been re.
fused, is about to come undor the hammer
in London. 1t is the splendid EVAN
gellarium," written in letters of gold on
purple vellum, which was produced by an
Anglo-Sacon scribe for Archbishop Will
frid, of York, about the year go Ac-
cording to one account, this most interest
ing volume was presented to King Henry
VIII. by Pope Leo X. on the occasion Of
comforting the title of Defender of the
Faith = and even the German Professor,
Wattenbach, while disputing the accuracy
of the story, agrees that the gift was made
to the Sea of York by Cardinal Wolsey,
King Henry's trusted Chancellor, and
Archbishop of York for the time being.
Six years ago it formed part of the famous
collection of manuscripts at Hamilton
palace, and when the present Duke dis
posed of these treasures it was purchased,
along with many other valuable papers, for
the Prussian Government and deposited
in the Berlin Museum. 1t was the Prus-
sian Government which refused to part
with the York Gospels, even for $4,000, to
an English bookseller, who was anxious
to possess himself of the prize. The value
of the book is of course. greatly enhanced
by the circumstance that there are only
three or four manuscripts of the same
kind now in existence.

many had built little huts to keep them
warm, but the majority depended on log
fires to keep them from freezing. There
came on a snow-storm, and it was not
many hours before the earth was covered

The fight with snowballs was very des-

fought with the same vigor that they
fought the Yankees. One of the two COM
panies surrendered and then Joined the
victorious company. This captured the
balance Of the regiment was attacked and
captured. Then the Second Georgia at
tackled the Fifteenth Georgia, which they
captured, and with this additional force
the Seventeenth and Twentieth had to

never been known to lower their flag to
the enemy, but they had to lay down their
arms to the snowballers They were at
last conquered, and Joined with Toombs'
brigade, who started the battle. They

Longstreet's corps, and the fight went on
until the whole army of Northern Virginia

For the REcoRp-USIoS.l
COULD WE KNOW.


Could we know the heartfelt anguish
OF the friends we meet each day;
Could we but see their darkened lives
Wherein no snnbeaus stray,
Perchance our better feelings would
With kindly thoughts be stirred
Perch2nce, in place of frowns, we'd give
Some genial. friendly word.
Could We but know how oft smile
bleeding wound doth hide
Could we but see the inner life,
Where swiftly rolls tn. tide
VI human feelings, would we not
some gracious act bestow?
Give love in lieu of bitter hate
Forgive each pitiless foe?
Could we but know the doubts and fears
That assail our friends with dread
Could we but know bright hopes of morn
At eve would withered be and dead,
How gladly we'd extend the hand
In friendships loving grasp,
And help to drive dark clouds away
With Kindness unsurpassed
Then let us try with willing hands
And hearts so Just and true,
10 90 unto others as we are taught
Through Christ that we should do;
Let us be ever charitably inclined,
And deeds OF kindness SOW
Griefstricken hearts will bless us then,
II we could only know.
