As O Tribune representative was strollIng
about town the other day, looking up items
of news. he dropped into Fezer's drug store.
This, that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed,
so far as lay in their power. The cura-
tive powers of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked OF. when Mr.. Falkner. a clerk in the
store, mentioned that Mrs Joseph Moore was
a firm believer in their efficacy Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
a visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing IN
Greeley, Colorado. Squire Moore and his
amiable wife are the best known and the
most respected The Squire Is carrying his
seventy-six years as sturdily as many men
who have not yet rounded their slxtlcth mile
post. ard his wife, Ann, is a fitting compan-
ION, one OF those pleasant faced. agreeable
ladies, who make you feel persectly at home
when in their company This happy couple

West Riding. of York, England, in 1920 the
husband q few weeks his wite's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway of life together. In lSiS they emf
grated to this country and settled In Derby
Conn, where they resided for a number OF
years. While there Mr.. Moore. who was
highly respected by his %neighbors, was elect.
ed a member of the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence In the United States
he has been q constant reader of the New
York Tribune, and was an ardent admirer
of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and q firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
| beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice of the Peace, an office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
| years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his
knowledge.
The newsgatherer was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
| stated that her health commenced failing
| several years ago but like a great many won.
| en-, she scarcely knew the meaning of the
name sickness in relation to herself. She

The Whale and the Greco.
Religious fights l always did bewail;

Religious fights l always did bewail;
IT'S something that l never take n start In.
I hate to see good people rant and rail
OF things on which no one should feel too
"sartin."
So this dispute 'twixt Jonah and the whale
It's hard to see how one can take much
heart in,
And get his feelings all torn up and nettled
About a thing that never can be settled.
! have a friend as old as he can be
His legs are wabbly and his head Is hoary-
Who in a thousand ways has shown to me
A faith implicit in the Jonah story.
His old wife with him scarcely can agree.
She says it is an ancient allegory,
And he in peace permits his wife to doubt it,
Though years ago they quarreled some about it
The Bible is a book that ! adore
For precepts found within its sacred pages.
Oft when I'm sad l turn its pages DER
And read the record of departed sages.
But matters in dispute, alas, no more
My wayworn and distracted mind engages:
Like Jonah and the whale and Noah's landing
And things that tax my feeble understanding
/ read instead what | can understand
The story Of a Fathers love, undying,
The promise of another, better land
Beyond this vale of pain and want and sigh
ing,
A mansion In a city great and grand
The glory Of mans highest art outlying,
Where wickedness can come to torture never
And weary souls can rest in peace forever.
And while ! don't bank much on any creed
And doctrines taught ly schools ecclesiastic,
] gather comfort from the things / read.
1t makes my heart more mellowllke and
plastic.
I cannot follow where some teachers lead,
Nor take their theologic potions drastic.
and this is all my creed, awake or sleeping
The Lord is good and | am in his keeping.
