FALLEN FLOW ERS.
One of the workers Of the world

One of the workers Of the world
Living toiled and toiling died;
But Others worked and the world went on
And as rot changed when he was gone
A strong arm stricken, wide sail turled,
And only few men sighed.
One of the heroes OF the world
Fought to conquer, then fought to fall,
And fell down slain in his blood-stained
mail,
And over his form they slept;
His cause was lost and his banner furled,
And only woman wept.
One of the singers among mankird
Sang healing songs from an DER wrought
heart;
But ere men listened the grass and wind
Were wastlag the rest unsung like wave;
Aud of bis fame that will ne'er depart
lie has never heard IN his grave.
One of The women who only love,
Loved aud grlevtd and faded away
Al m,! are these gone to the God abovei
What more OF ach eau say
They are human flowers that flower and
fall
Ills is the sonD and the end Ofthem all.

Wide Tires on the Farm.

When L came 10 look aG the
farm befre purchasing, in the
fall of 1860, its most Objectionable
eature was the condition of the
lane running through the center of
1t, writes Q, o. CLARK IN l.. A. W.
Bulletin.
1t had been the farm lane for
many years, was narrow, ience d
with stone walls for a part OF Its
length and cut up from fence to
fence with narrow tires, and if the
object had been 20 make 1t hold
the greatest amount of water pos
sible it was in prime condition.
In short, there was nothing right
about it except its location, whllc
right beyond it, across the back
end of the farm, were many acres
of heavy timber, which must be
worked into cord wood aud dra vii
to market.
Before the snow was of the next

few mouths without covering. AS

Beside ordinary farm use, for
several years hundreds of very

over that lane, and as lasting

Person., Freaks ms to cof1,ns.

The late carl of Essex was buried in
n coffin of oak designed twelve years
ago by the deceased noblcman himself,
who was prominent member of the
Funeral Reform association, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin. 1t had what is
called "open trellis work. around it and
was filled with choice herbs and ever
greens. There have been many people
in recent years, some of them prominent
in other ways, who had their coffins
made to order long before the approach
of death. Maybe the originator of the
fashion was Lord Nelson, who used to
keep standing upright in the cabin of
the Victory u coffin that an admirer had
presented to him one birthday ami
versary, and in this coffin his lordship's
remains We're at last put to rest.

REASONABLE ossTINAcY..
The Secret of Q Jury Foreman's Reason
for Acquitting Prisoner.

The Secret of Jury Foreman's Reason
for Acquitting . Prisoner.
One of the strangest of obstinate
Juror stories is told in the Illustrated
London News. Chief Justice Dyer was
presiding at murder trial in which
everything went against the prisoner,
who, on his part had nothing to say
except that on his way to work he had
found the man dying and had tried to
help him, and in SO doing had become
covered with blood. The man died
while lie was ministcring to him, and
Lc had then left him and said nothing
about it, because he was known to ohavc
had quarrel with him shortly before,
and naturally feared that he should be
suspected of the crime.
The hny-forls with which the murder
had been committed was marked with
the prisoners name, and, indeed, all
the evidence showed that he must have
done the deed. The chief justice was
fully convinced of his guilt, and was
correspondingly put out when the jury,
after being locked up all night without
fire or candle, returned verdict of ac-
quittal.
He called the high sheriff, who told
him that the cause of the verdict was
undoubtedly the foreman, farmer
highly esteemed by all his neighbors,
and very unlikely to be obstinate or
unduly opinionated.
Then" said the Judge, 81 must see
this foreman, for an explanation Of this
matter l must and will have"
The foreman was sent for, and after
extracting from his lordship pledge
of secrecy he said:
'The prisoner was rightfully acquit-
ted, for it was who killed the man."
1t had been no murder. The other
man had attacked the farmer, and in
the struggle he received. accidentally,
q fatal blow. The farmer had no fear
Of being found guilty, but the assizcs
being just over his farm and affairs
through his lying so long in Jail. For
that reason he said nothing, and let
matters take their course.
When one of his own servants was
charged with the crime he was horri-
fed. He took care of the mans wife
and children during his imprisonment,
and when the trial came on he con-
trived to be placed upon the jury and
elected foreman.
He added that if he had failed in this
he would certainly have confessed his
own share in the business, and the
judge believed him. Every year for
fifteen years his lordship made in
quiries as to the foremnn's existence,
and at last, having survived him, he
considered himslf at liberty to tell the
story.

Here every summer ard autumn can be seen
thousa nds upon thousands of trees and vines
laden with fruits of almost every variety grown
in the temperate zone and of use to man, includ-
ing apples, grapes. peaches, pears. ounces
apricots, plums. nectar.ncs, raspbcrries, black
berries, currunts, goosebcrres, and all ofn h.vor
and soundness uncqualcd anywhere in America.
As there at present but about 800 acres bear
ing fruit exclusively. which yields an aggregate
Of about 100000 pounds annually, the possibili
ties in this direction ate almost beyond calcula-
tion.
The successful growing of fruit in Delta county
is no longer an experiment. The past has fully
demonstrated the fact that it is unequalcd in
quality. quantity and flavor. In symmetry, sound
ness and beauty, no section east of the great
Continental Divide can compare with it. The
trees are of a rapid growth. hardly and finely
shaped, and yield bountifully.
Small fruits, such rs rispberries blackbeIries,
Strawberries, etc.. grow to an immense size-,aiso
currants and grapes of oil varieties-whie their
beauty and flavor arc Of i high standard and in
fcrior to none.
Climate and health are associated throughout
the state so much so that the state bas become
noted as a great health resort. Annually there
come within its limits thou5ands from different
climcs to regain lost hca!tll--finding with a few
months residence their disability greatly improv-
ed, II not completely restorcd-often the latter.
Colorado, California and Arizona have reputa-
tion the world over for healthy climate, and the
curative qualities of the atmosphere. The west
ern portion ofColorado possesses qualities tuper-
ior to the Others named for the reason we escape
the ..rainy season" which arrives annually in
California and the torrid heat experienced in
Arizona. Many of Delta cOunty's citizens have
nffarh hny
ing been given up as life long sufferers to pulmo-
nary troubles, and are to-day living Witnesses OF
what the genial touch of mountain air will do as
| n restorative. The many resorts where ex-
cursions in beautiful valleys are to be enjoyed
can not but bring the blush of health to the pal
est check. These valleys and mesas are profuscly
decorated with rare and beautiful flowers whose
odoIs are ever present Spruce, pine, fir and
cedar grow luxuriently and fill the air with pro-
pertics especially beneficial to the lungs.

Along the valleys of the UncOmpaigre, Gun

Tongue and Surface Creeks, there is an abund-
ance of water for all purposes. In addition to this,
II complete system Of reservoirs have been estab-

lclent waller for purposes required along the
valleys or table lands bordering thereon. The
advantages to be derived from the facilities foi

should be taken Into consideration, as upon this
depends largely the success OF the toi'er.

Is one sometimes expensive and hard to solve

part of the land owned and not occupied by the
early pioneers. Twenty TO forty acres is great

MARKETS.
Naturally one Of the first items to be considered
by the producer Is his market. This is almost
unlimited. The larger portion of the present
productions is consumed in the hundreds Of
thriving mining camps with which the central
and western portion of Colorado is so abundantly
blessed by nature. Here fruits, eggs, poultry,
vegetables, beef md mutton are readily sold at
fabulous prices, and for ready money As addi-
tional railroad facilities now in course OF
completion we soon will have the markets OIL the
eastern slope fully opened to our wonderful pro-
ductions. Following are few of the prices
obtained in the camps for articles produced on
