Ten Thousand Barrels.

The following item clipped from the
Denver Field aud Farm is every word
true:
"B. F. Rockafellow, of Fremont coun-
ty, is pushing his harvest of apples,
pears and grapes with fifty employees
men, women and boys. A large trans
fer wagon is constantly rushed to haul
the barreled. Grated and basketed pro-
duct to the warehouse and railroad
station. As we said week or two ago,
the yield from this orchard of sixty-hye
acres VIII this year amount to 10000
barrels and the price will probably
average SS a barrel, as most of the goods
are of the winter variety and can be
held for this figure. Taking INTO ac-
count the other stock from the orchard
and vineyard and Captain Rockafel-
lows income this year should he fully
$4,000 gross. What other line of hi-
dustry viii make y better showing than
Il this these hard times ?"

In writing up the occupants of the
court honse for our issue of Arg. 18th
brief biographical sketch was given
of Mr. Nilsson, who is candidate for
reelection as county clerk. Mr. Mil
som has served the county rs clerk
two terms and there is not man in
the county who is rcquairted with
county affairs or has had business in
the clerks office, that will not compli-
ment Mr. Nilsson ON the efficient way
in which the clerks Office has been
managed 1t would not do TO say that
Mr.. Nilsson is the best clerk Fremont
county ever had, but we know of none
who will no. agree that the county
never had better clerk than Mr.. Mil
som has made. But one objection has
been raised to Mr.. Nilsson, even by his
political enemies: Ii is that he is a
candidate for third term: bet since
his only .opponen, is seeking for the
fourth time to be elected to a county

twice favored. it seems that the odds
are in favor of the Republican candi.
date. and we are sure that this argu-
ment will do him aught bat good. The
Silver Cliff Rustler, from Mr.. Milsoms
old home, has this to say of him: "If
J. w. Nilsson is candidate for re-
election as clerk OF Fremont county,
there surely can be no question about
his election by a good majority. II
any county in the state has AN ideal
clerk. Il is Fremont. He has served
the people there iu an honest. dignitied.
accommodating and economical way,
and the office has done the taxpayers
more good under his management than
ever before. We get this information

In business in the mining districts of
Pennsylvania until 1880 when he moved
to Canon City. where he has since re
sided. In Canon he was first associated
with Geo. X. Shaeffer in the jewelry
business and later with w. T. Bridwell
in the insurance business. Mr. Cassidy
was elected County Clerk in 1889 and
was reelected for second term in
1891 Besides this the only other office
he has ever held was that of town trus
lee for two years. Fremont county has
never had more popular and greater
pains taking officer than Geo. X. Casse-
dy and no man who is more generally
known and more universally liked
throughout the county than he. Since
his voluntary retirement from county
politics, large class of voters has been
clamoring for his return and it was to
satisfy this almost unananimous de-
mand of the voters that he was recently
nominated for Treasurer Many good
things could be said of Mr.. Cassidy.
both as man and an officer, but with
these things the people of Fremont are
so familiar that it seems useless to
consume space by repeating them.
The people all over the county. without
regard TO politics, have insisted on Mr.
Cassedy being a candidate for this
office, and they will stand by him. He
has never been defeated and the REC
ORD predicts that he will be the leader

In its usual enterprising style. the
RECORD takes pleasure in presenting TO
its readers the portraits of the candi-
dates they should vote for at the next
election. All cannot be told of a man
by words nor does q portrait give all OF
a mans characteristics, but when We
give both, as we do in this issue, those
who are not personally acquainted with
the standard bearers Of the Republican
party may become better acquainted
with the candidates than they could by
any other means. IL is a source OF
regret that II is necessary To omit the
portraits of the surveyor and Coroner
but after much effort TO find Mr. Mic
oils in the bare Hills county our kodak
man found Ia his disappointment that
the candidate Tor Surveyor was still
enjoying the aftermath Of the Denver
carnival, and the candidate for Coroner,
Dr. Baker. of Florence. was found sick
and upab.e 10 sit np even long enough
for snap shot.
The Republican ticket is one to be
proud OF. Not only because the men
average up well for good looks but
because they are good, strong. trust
worthy men--the KIND IS men TO hold
county offices They nre strong because
they arr not otiices-ekers- The people
have selected them for the offices which
they will hold They are not the choice
of part of their respective parties but
are the unanimous se.ection of the two
greatest parties Ia Fremont county.
With possibly one exception every one
of the candidates was nominated with.
out contest and by acclamaiion. and
altogether the ticket Is the best ever
put up by Fremont county conven-
tion. We predict its entire election by
majorities ranging in the hundreds.

question, but at any rate he had made
great success, and people wondered
that he should come to the dingy abode
of the boarders and the Old Maid. Some
said that it was because he had lived
there in the days he was known to fash
ion; and some whispered knowingly
that the lady to whom the Singer sang
lived over the way in the stone house
with the balconies at the windows and
the guarding lions at the door. Be that
as it may, it is fact that when the
Singer came to the city for his series of
concerts and recitals, he sanctified the
abode of the Old Maid with his presence
for whole week. And the Old Maid
was agitated mysteriously by his pres
ence, though it is doubtful if he even
saw her shabby little figure.
One night she crept down the stair
way when the house was still, and
slipped paper beneath the Singers
door sill. The paper bore set of verses
written in the fine hand of woman
who was educated quarter of CEN
fury ago, and a little note that read:
eff you should sometimes find this
worthy to sing I would be the happiest
woman on EARTH"
Now, the Singer felt brutal indif-
ference about all happiness save his
own, which had been sorely tried that
night by the lady of his songs. So he
merely muttered: "Confound imbecile
women" Then he looked at the verses
and then he went gloomily to bed. But
through the night as he reflected upon
his blighted hopes and the hardness of
his fate, some of the Old Maids lines
sang themselves through his mind.
'In see thee in each flower that grows;
Thou art not lost while lives the rose,
Not lost while lives the rose."
the foolish refrain insisted.
In the morning the silly rhymes
would not be banished. He found him
self humming them to an air, and by
and by-so weak was he owing to the
cruel lady-he sat down at the piano
and played the air softly.
It was that same week that he gave
his great concert at the hall uptown.
With Indifferent generosity he offered
the landlady tickets to be distributed,
and so it happened that the Old Maid
and went together.
The Old Maid was very pink and very
tremulous, and not being in her conf
dence I could not understand her state.
After all, there was nothing in a sue
cessful singer of 33 to excite spinster
stenographer of so.
The Singer had sung grand opera
arias and the music from masses. He
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1897-10-13

had sung Scotch ballads and German
love songs. But he could not sing
enough to satisfy his audience. After
each properly numbered selection, he
was recalled again and again. Finally
he came out and said:
Il wish could tell you the author of
the words am going to sing. They
were sent to me anonymously in manu-
script and I have no means of giving
credit to whom it is DUE"
The Old Maids figure quivered. She
breathed sobbingly and drew closer to
me, and I wondered if she were going
crazy.
Then the Singer sang the simple
vreses. They may have been very bad
as verses, but as song they were a
success. The audience listened intent
ly, the women looking up, as women
look when lowered eyelids would let
the tears brim over. And when the last
verse rang out, plaintively and proud
ly:
" And though thou hast banished me,
I touch thee in each nodding flower;
I see thee, dear one, every hour,
In sky. or star, or sea.
ALI beauty holds some hint of thee,
And so thou canst not Danish me,
Thou canst not Danish me-
the hall forgot to applaud for fully
three seconds, when it caught it's breath
and surreptitiously wiped it's eyes.
That is, all but the Old Maid. She wept
quite openly, turning her radiant, tear
stained face toward me
Its mine! It's mine!" she half
sobbed. "Oh, it's mine and I am so
happy!"
And then she told me the whole story.
But neither prayers nor entreaties
could prevail upon her to let me tell her
secret. And the boarders still wonder
why it is that colorless little lady like
the Old Maid sometimes wears look
of pride.-Peterson Magazine.

FASHION AMONG SAvAGES.



Do in Various Parts of the World.
Modesty in dress, more than any
other virtue, varies with the latitude
| and longitude. The Samoans, for ex-
ample, have come to look upon thewear-
| ing of clothes as religious function In
consequence of the efforts of the mis-
sionaries to make the natives dress
| themselves. So that it is a common
sight at Sunday morning service to see
the Samoan women take their seats
decorously clad in Mother Hubbards,
and after the service is over walking
home with their Mother Hubbards on
| their arms.
It is considered immodest for Chi
| nese women to let their small feet, ac-
quired by such painful torture, be seen
peeping out from underneath their
dress. Any Chinese picture which
shows feet of this kind is considered
positively indecent by the Celestials. In
some other parts of Asia it is considered
immodest for woman to show the
ends of her fingers, while among Ma
hometan women of Arabia, who are
| closely yelled, exposing the back of the
neck in an emergency is held to be a
much greater breach OF decorum than
displaying the face.
| For a Caribbean woman to go out OF
the hut without being painted with
arnotto is to transgress all the native
rules of decency. The Tassai women OF
New Guinea wear two or three petit.
coats, one over another, and nothing
| else. If the native women of Sumatra
have their knees properly covered the
rest does not matter, while the native
women of some parts of Alaska, who
have been induced to remove the
| heavy ornament which hangs from their
| lower lip, act as if they were much
ashamed and embarrassed.
The Maoris of both sexes in New
| Zealand put on clothes when the
weather grows cold, while the natives
of some islands off the coast of Guinea
wear clothes only when they are going
on journey. Some Indians of Venezue-
la are ashamed to wear clothes before
strangers, as it seems indecent to them
to appear implanted.
"In Tahiti" says Sir John Lubbock,
ga person not properly tatttoed would
be as much reproached and summed as
if with us he should go about the streets
naked" The Papuans of the south
west coast of New Guinea think that
clothing is fit only for women. In the
Andaman islands the women think the
same thing about the men.
The tyranny of fashion is as strong in
Greenland as it is in Paris. The main
spring of everything the Greenlanders
do, according to Cranz, is their fear Of
being blamed or Knocked by other men.
When DR.. Livingstone's carriersreached
Balonda, in Central Africa, the young
women could not keep in their laughter
at the sight of bare backs, though their
own costume was of the scantiest, be-
cause the native men of BaIonda wore
shoulder capes of skins.-N. Y. World.

A BOY ON THE FARM.

That man in the school where the ethics

Professor Of Latin and Greek,
Can tell of the way that life's battles are

And fluent the words he will speak.
But oft he is thinking Of valleys and hills,
The forest and meadows sweet charm;
Though high Is the station to-day that he

He once was a boy on the farm.
That man in the church who is preaching
to-day,
With power and with purpose to save
The souls and the people who listened to
pray,
While gladly his message he gave.
Remembers the lilies that grew in the
dell,
BY the Master that now he is serving so
well.
He once was boy on the farm.
The man who is first in the halls of the
state
And versed in the laws of the land,
Beloved by the people with honors so great,
His word is a power to command
Looks Off to the mountain now notified with

And k'ngs but again in the harvest to

Now guarding the lines of the west,
Though looking with pride on his troops

Has love for the farm in his breast.
He thinks Of the fields where the daisies are

And signs for the noisy alarm
OF the cock of the barnyard to vanquish
the night.
