A WELL equipped hose company is

A WELL equipped hose company is a
necessity in Rocky Ford. Having the
gravity water works it is the height Of
folly not to utilize them by means of q
fre-fghting organization. The meeting
at Ellingwood & Hauck's store tomorrow
evening to complete the organization of a
hose company should be attended by all
who can become members. Let the town
council deal literally by the boys that a
well equipped fire organization may be
maintained.

just the right thing and should be kept
up at regular intervals that sociability
between friends and neighbors may be
promoted.
The library entertainment given las9
Friday evening was highly enjoyed by
full house. The program seemed long
by reason of the late beginning and the
unusual delays between numbers, but
the audience was well pleased. We have
not space for individual mention, but
must commend the statuary and tableaux,
Mrs. Salter's singing, and the excellent
music Of the "kid band" ''The House
that Jack Built" was pleasing novelty.
Those who provided the program and all
who helped render it can have the satis-
faction Of knowing that they contributed
very pleasant evening to the Rocky
Ford public. The cash receipts were
$3365, which was excellent for "hard
times" and shows the general interest in
our public library. >.

Then he stood up, Strengthened himself,

tage, with it's one bright window and
the bleak line of moor behind it. ''Tis

wouldn't do nothen to she.'
Mrs. Warne came to the window and
watched him go, a dark figure, save
where the light from his lantern

light on the sparkling snow. Away

furiously. who was it told Bill

Samuel stopped short in his gestiou-

for a moment. The strong gusts of
wind coming in blew the candle, and
by it's wavering light Mrs. Warne look
cd more Witch-like than usual, as she
pecred at him. The cats eyes in the
dark chimney corner looked like round
green globes; and the punches Of herbs
on the rafter swinging backwards and

on the wall. Then he turned and

The Spread of Life.

One of the problems that continually
confronts the naturalist is to account
for the distribution of identical forms
Of life among widely separated locali-
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished in
many ways that appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly have thought of them in
clyance Of their actual direction.
Some interesting facts have recently
been CLEANED concerning the disper-
sion Of fresh-water mollusks, account
ing for their appearance in remote and
Isolated ponds. 1t appears that water
fowl play an important part in this
work. Ducks have been known to car
ry mussels attached to their feet Il
hundred miles or more Biyalye mol
lusl1s not infrequently cling to the toes
Of wading birds, and are thus trans
ported for considerable distances.
Even aquatic insects have been known
to carry small fresh water mollusks
attached to their legs.
In such manner does nature COM
pei the various inhabitants of the earth
to assist one another whether they viii

Of the, double murder the counsel

iuring Nellie. She died the following
day, but made an ante-mortem state
ment fixing the crime upon her
brother, John Hart.
Hart's crime was NEST deliberate and
findish. No sooner had Mrs. Hart left
the house than he called Nellie to the
barn and induced her to go with him
to the basement, where he nearly
pounded the life out of her and then
compelled her to drink mixture of

iuries he had inflicted would prove
fatal, Hart completed his murderous
attack with two pistol shots.
