A lively interest has been manifested
in the work of the Christian Union.
This organization is non-sectarian in
character and holds meetings every Sun
day afternoon in the Normal chapel.
This association Of students in christian
work exerts a strong influence in school.
The three literary societies propose to
give a joint open meeting in the near
future.
The Clionian society gave an open
meeting this week. Prof. Hewett at this
meeting gave a lecture on What Remains
OF the Aztec Civilization" The Prof.
fessor spent the past summer in making
a study OF the Pueblos OF New Mexico.
He made the claim that within 500 miles
OF US are as classic historic grounds as
in any place in the New World.
DR.. Snyder lectured at the Teachers
association at Pueblo recently. He re-
ports educational affairs in good con-
dition in that county.
Friday morning the students listened
to talk by Supt. Van Sycle, Of the North
Denver schools. The talk was practical
and inspiring. The speaker made the
point that the school should be an en-
largement Of the ideal home. He made
a plea for teachers who lead aud in

"BILL NYR'S" t.GW YEAR MEDI
TATION.

Of course the serious business on
New Year day is to make good resolu
tions, and no person who respects him
self or has due regard for the proprie-
ties will begin to smash them until the
bright eyed young cherub whom we
picture as the New Year has been long
enough in the world not to mind hear
ing the crash of the ne7china. Some
authorities on the etiquette of the day
say that while the breaking should not
begin before shutdown of New Year
day, it may be inaugurated after that
time, as the cherub, being very young,
and tired out with moving in may be
pregamed to have retired for the night.
This however, lisa doubtful point, upon
which it is not safe to act.
Personally, I don't begin to toy with
the good resolutions until late in the
day. I work up to them by degrees.
The first thing l do in the morning is
to think overthe good I have done. 1

A GRAND MEETING IN HERT

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
1 write to tell you mat the HEREFORD

meeting yesterday. We had a grand
meeting. l have seen larger gather.
ings, but our mes 1g was composed OF
the very best NED in the county. 1t
was truly a representative body OF
men of the country.
We went through with the routine
business with spirit and animation.
Several enthusiastic speeches were
made.
They took stock in the Shoe Factory
which was highly commended; also
passed a resolution endorsing the &C,
ton of the last State Alliance on the
railroad lease, and other matter.

fud that l can finish this very nicely,
before breakfast by getting up at my
usual time, which is six minutes before
James, my butler, brings in the first
course of sunkissed Strawberries. 1
think l may say, without undue pride,
that these Strawberries, are kissed
through the no6-hou5e windows at fifty
cents a kiss.
After breakfast 1 attend to my re-
grets for things done which ought not
to have been done, and things left I'm
done which ought to have been done.
This is the long undertaking of the
day, and 1 should have to pull down
the curtains upon the still night and
the white mantel of virgin snow, and
light the lamp before completing it,
we're it not for the fact that I do not
find myself an enthusiastic regretteI,
and soon tire of my work. I knock
off with the comforting thought that
we should only regret enough to chaF.
tise ourselves, anyhow, and then with a
firm, rigid upper lip should proceed to
do better. We should let our sorrowg
heal, if they will, instead of keeping
them open, torn and bleeding, as COW,
ardly soldiers some times do to avoid
the coming battle. 1 always like to
shake hands with the New Year and
bid it welcome, for it seems to me to
be a sort of clean day, when we can
put u past out on the side, look it
over, and pound it with a broom and
knock out the dust of selfishness and
unkindness.

Some people believe that a grass pas
ture keeps in the moisture. Expert
ments made in Nebraska have proven
this to be a fallacy. The orchard was
divided into three parts. Two of them
were in grass, n moved and the
other pastured; and the third portion
was cultivated. 1t was proven by
actual analysis that for every 100 bar
rels of water contained in the first %
inches of pasture, a like amount of
ground cultivated during the entire
season contained over lao barrels.
