unable to work, but managed to use the
scythe little so that his yearly practice
might not be interrupted. This year he
has been able to do what work was neces-
sary in caring for his garden.

 "That may do with sheep and cows, but if you add a quart of milk and a quart of water, it makes two quarts of milk. I've seen it done more'n a thou sand times. "-Tcxas Siftings.

A CART LOAD OF RELICS
James Kennedy Makes a Rich Find
On The Dirty Devil.
Bones of the Cliff DweiIers and Articles
of Wearing Apparel Worn by the
Ancient Race.

James Kennedy, prospector, explorer
and Archaeological, has returned from
southern Utah, where he made minute
research in the homes of the cliff dwellers.
These prehistoric races. who inhabited
this country at a period SO remote that
the antiquarian will not venture to chron-
lcle the time, have rare fascination for
Mr.. Kennedy, both from scientific as
well as from commercial standpoint.
Mr.. Kennedy, when prospecting three
years ago on the banks of the Dirty
Devil, better known as Fremont creek
between Corkes creek and Pleasant creek,
located a cache of rare 10 mains of an
ancient and forgotten race. When in
this country last December and January
Mr.. Kennedy failed to locate it and he
set out two weeks ago with the determin-
alton to not come back until he would
unearth this valuable deposit.
That his exploration was successful he
can verify by a cart load of relics such
as any arch@ologist would crave to pos
sess. He has in Installation bones
OF the arms and legs and skulls, and
nearly every manner of feather dress. 1t
appears that the race We're adopts at tan
ming, for there are specimens of curing
the skin OF birds with the feathers intact,
that are wonderfully well preserved, con-
survived. He has also specimens of
natural paints and rare curios of neck
wear that must be of great value.
Fortunately, Mr.. Kennedy has wit
nesses of his discovery in Mr.. and Mrs.
James ii. Bromley of Terrace, who were
at the Cliff Dwellers' village when he I'M
earthed his cache.

TO KEEP DOWN THE DUST
That Is What Mount a. Griffin Are Paid
100000 For.
Money Is Paid, just the
Same.

Something over $50, 900 is the size of the
Plum which Mount & Griffin of Omaha
and Salt Lake will pocket for street
are paid cents front foot. and at that
price they ought to do the work well and
make money besides. But the trouble is
that they pay all their attention to the
latter part OF the proposition and neglect
the first. The contract which they nave
with the city is not as specific as it
should be with reference to the manner
in which they shall perform their work,
but 1T does not provide that they shall
sprinkle all streets within the districts
thoroughly and sufficiently to keep the
dust down. The provision is indifferently
complied with, SO far as the business
streets are concerned, and the work is
shamefully sighted further out. On a
great many OF the residence
along semi occasionally, scattering
two sides of the streets little
and leaving the center untouched, while
no pretense is made of sprinkling the
street car tracks or the space between
them where there are two. This perform
ance goes on day after day, the CONTRACT
ors draw their cents per front foot with
due regularity and nothing is said. Yet,
in spite of the more than $4,000 paid
them for thoroughly" sprinkling the
streets, every. puff OF wind that
blows raises cloud of dust,
and when good stiff gale is blowing, a
stranger would be apt to think that he
had landed in the Great American desert
while cyclone was at work. There are
streets over which the carts do not go
more than three or four times day, and
| then the work is done in such slip-shod
manner that it has practically no effect in
laying the dust, although the contractors
are paid just as much for sprinkling those
Ihororghfares as Main street.
Mount & Griffin are not so much to
blame, perhaps. as the street supervisor,
whose duty it is to see that they fulfil
their contract. In addition to this, the
city employs an inspector, who has moth =
ing to do but follow up the carts all day,
and see that the work is properly done.
The result is that property owners are
| beginning to kick, and unless there is q
marked Improvement very soon, a strong
protest will be lodged with the city

The Doll Feast in Japan

The doll feast of Japan is a great nat
ional fete, a sort of doll fair or festival
that comes every year and to which the
whole nation looks forward with
pleasure.
The streets of the cities are made gay
with fancy booths, decorated with all the
colors OF the rainbow and more colors be-
sides. In these attractive shops are dis
played the dolls in their most gorgeous
attire. Dolls of all ages and styles wait
patiently for the delighted multitude who
are sure to assemble before every booth.
Altogether it is a charming and pic
turesque sight. The people put on their
holiday clothes and with their children
go about from street to street admiring
and purchasing the dolls that are just as
great delight to tine little ones of Japan
as are the American dolls to the little
people of the United States. -Nelv York
