Preparing for War.

The news from Europe is particularly
warllke just ROW. IN fact for twenty
years there has been a tread-on-the-
tail-of-my- attitude on the part of
all the great powers Of Europe.
The rapid and healthy growth of the
military power of France has kept Ger
many in state o. ,,spparction and do
Tense, and as it has ieG to continual
increase in the war budget, it has occa-
stoned the growth of an element of dis
content among the people that has now
assumed proportions which the emperor
cannot ignore.
Great military establishments are a
source of danger, not only to the peace
of Europe, but TO the existence of the
nations themselves, whidl are becom-
ing SO burdened that the time is fast
approaching when in seltdefense they
may be compelled to reliese themselves
to prevent their being ground to powder.
France has been siirevd enough to
use her great power to advance her own
interests in Africa. This not only ex-
tends her own territory and increases
her wealth, but gives employment to
her troops, and will undoubtedly, when
the returns begin to cone in, go very
far toward paying the expenses of her
armament. When the time comes
France will be ready.-Denyer Sun.

A Question of Figures.

How many apples did Eve and Adam
eat ? Some say Eve and Adam "a total
of 10 only. Now we figure the thing diff
ferently. Eve and Adam also-total
16. And yet the above figures are en-
tirely wrong. If Eve s and Adam s =,
certainly the total will be 80. Scientific
men. however, on the strength of the
theory that the antediluvians were a
race of giants, reason something like
this: Eve s ! and Adam S 2, total 1853.
Wrong again; what could be clearer
than if Eve /, and Adam l, 2, the
total would be 1898 !? If Eve l list, and
Adam 81 ., would not the total be
1923? l believe the following to be a
fair solution: Eve 81 Adam. Adam
S124 Eve-total, S,93s. Still another
calculation is as follows: If Eve s 4
Adam, Adam "a oblige Eve-total
S2,O56. We think this, however, not a
sufficient quantity, for though we admit
that Eve 8 1 Adam, Adam if he S i
1242 keep Eve company-total $685.
O56. All wrong. Eve, when she s ! 8
l many. and probably she felt sorry
for it, but her companion, in order to
relieve her grief. s .. Therefore when
Adam 8 / 81 4240 fy Ewes depressed
spirits. Hence, both ate sl,s96, s64

Timber and Stone Lands.


1t does not appear to be generally
known that by virtue of the provisions
of an act of congress approved August
4, 1892, the provisions of an act in rela.
| ton to timber and stone entries, ap.
proved June 3, 1878, have been extended
to all public land States, - and among
others Colorado.
| For the benefit of our readers we
herewith present the salient features of
the act of June 3, ISIS, referred to
above:
Surveyed public lands of the United
States, not included within military, In,

the United States, or persons who have
declared their intention TO become
such, i'll quantities not exceeding 100
of persons, at the minimum price of
81 80 per acre, and lands valuable
chiefly for stone may be sold on the
same terms rs timber lands.
Provided that nothing herein con-
tanned shall defeat or impair any bona

eleven years ago; Mrs. Harriet Lane

of being the youngest mistress of the

The Transcript has to thank that
grand old democrat and thoroughly
ood-fellow-Ansel Watrous of Fort
Collins-for putting forward the name
of its editor for U. S. Marshal under
the new Cleveland administration, and
for many good words in our behalf.
We have never been much of an office
seeker any way, perhaps for the reason
that it would have been of but little use
under prevailing conditions hitherto,
but if President Cleveland is convinced
that he cannot get along for the next
four years without our services we are
willing to give him lift.-'iolden
