The atmospheric conditions which
have surrounded Laramie during the
past 10 days have been most re.,ark-
able and it is no wonder that the brisHr
rays of the planet Venus were mistak-
en- for electric lights upon some strange
heavenly visitor. Another phenome-
non equally wonderful in its nature has
been noted by ranch people northwest
of the city. Between Z and 8 O'Clock
this morning, Mr.. and Mrs. Pascoe,
who live on the Little Laramie, had
their attention directed toward the
Whitaker ranch by a vision in the
heavens. The Whitaker ranch Hes
behind a small eminence and is IA
miles distant from the domicile OF the
Pascoes, but the mirage Of the plains
had raised the buildings, human be-
ings. animals. ETC., so that they could
adj be readily discerned, presenting. a
beautiful picture. with the clear blue
sky for a background. The people al
The ranch could be seer walking about
aim "ele easily 1FOm the
horses and cattle. A windmill was a
pretty sight as it whirled in the air.
Turning their gaze to the north, Mr..
and Mrs. Pascoe were surprised to note
the appearance of old Laramie peak.
Its gigantic outlines were thrown
against the sky in a manner they had
never witnessed before, and although
60 miles away, its every point and gull.
ly seemed in view. Its Jagged heights
which are reared so high toward
heaven, reminded them Of the lofty
spires and minarets of some ancient
cathedral. and in the pureness Of the
atmosphere the mountain seemed hard
ly a league away.
This magnificent vision lasted for
nearly W hours and was greatly en-,
joyed by the residents OF the Pascoe
ranch, who were filled with an admira,
ton akin to w by the heavenly spec,

a COMMON MIsQUoTATloN.
Our Orators Should Read tho Declaration
of Independence Again.


of Independence Again.
Probably three out of four Fourth of
July orators in their speeches this year
quoted the Declaration of Independence
us claiming that: "All men are created
free and equal" The mistake has been
common in the past and it is as preva-
lent now as ever. Presidents of the
United States, members Of congress,
governors and a host of lesser lights
have made the blunder, ard to their
number can be added editors and dis
ting1lished orators like the late Henry
Ward Beecher. Nevertheless, the Dec
lnration does not say that "all men are
created free and equal" and it would
not be true if it did. No person is
created free. He or she is subject for
years to the control of parents or guard
ians, and natural laws recognize this
subjection as right. What the Declara-
ton does say is that: "All men are
created equal" There may be some dis
sent from that doctrine, as there is an
evident difference among men in mental
and physical endowment at birth. But
while the Declaration of Independence
is quoted as saying they are, it had bet
ter be quoted correctly.
