The first general crop raising that
We have any record of in Colorado
was on the Huerfano in 1853, when
Joe Doyle and Charlie Pray put in
small patches of Mexican corn and
wheat, which they sold to a band of
Ute Indians then dwelling in the
neighborhood of the Greenhorn
mountain. These early farmers un.
derstood something about irrigation
and had little bitches taken out of
the Huerfano.-Field and Farm.

She Lacks D1soretton.


A lady who is now dwelling in
Washington, as she has been for
the last three or four years, in enc of
the finest houses of the city, who has
no end of money, and all that sort of
thing, Is in serious trouble, saws a
Warrington correspondent, and feels
that the social season for her has
been a failure. She was not blessed
with the gift of discretion, and the
outre things she has said and done
have been the town talk ever since
she made her appearance in Wash.
inEton. The trouble this time came
from an attempt to separate the
sheep from the goats, as it were, in
social way. This lady, who AWAY,

her lovely young daughter to society.
To the 6rst tea all the creme de la

kindly intended, but had an effect op-

threw the tickets into the fire; others

Most men get married in order that

are always talking of the loneliness

of passages of arms bet~ cen bench

Sparahawk arrived here this evening from
Granger, Wyo., with five men charged
with the murder OF B. Foreman, of Scran-
ton, Pa, near Rongis, Fremont county,

has the right men and says the evidence
against them is very strong. He leaves

criminals before learning the complete
story. 1t appears that a party OF hunters
travelling on the Sweetwater became in
volved in a quarrel which resulted In the
murder of Foreman. 1t is reported that
the dead nan was charged with the theft
of $40 and was punished by a bullet in
the brain. The body was carelessly

eRANDmA's EYES.


They wonder why I love her so;
They marvel where the magic lies
That knits me to her, they who know
That Gladys has her grandma's eyesl
They say she's but a t~houghtless tot;
They say tbs true she never tries
To pleasure me-but try or not,
She can't but please with grandma's eyc4
They say her sisters are as sweet;
1t may be so, as they surmise,
But who but Gladys comes to greet
Me gayiy with her grandma's eyesi
She'd have the mooni I'd give the sum-
What wonder hat my heart denies
No draft that's made on 1t by one
Who always asks with grandma's eyesS
She lights up all this world OF woe,
She silences cen sorrows cries;
She follows me, where'er l go,
Forever with her grandma's eyes.
All, who that knows what powers proceed
From simple things, in what strange guise,
Can doubt a little child may lead
An old man with her grandma's eyesl
With Gladys I grow young againi
l. who am gray-so fast time files
Am young, yet how my heart aches when
She looks at me with grandma's eyesI
Ny child wife smiles once more on me,
Glad tears within mine own arise,
AS with my grandchfld on my knee
gaze into her ~grandma'e eyes.

The Fruit of VIOLENCE.

In no case is the folly of violence in
medication more conspicuously shown
by its fruit than in the effect upon the in
t~estines of excessive ~purgation. The stom-
ach and bowels are first painfully griped,
then the latter is copiously, suddenly and
repeatedly evacuated. This is far beyond
the necessities of the case, most unnatur-
al, excessively facilitating. The organs
are incapacitated from resuming their
function with normal moderation. An
astringent is resorted to which reduces
them to their former condition of inaction.
To this monstrous and harmful absurdity,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the happy
alternative. 1t relaxes gently, naturally,
sufficiently, it diverts bile from the blood
into its proper channel, it %insures health
full digestion and complete assimilation.
1t is a complete defense against malaria,
nervousness, kidney and bladder trouble.
