WOMAN As a MAAouT.
The Views Of One Of the Dsivsss d

The Views Of One Of the DPivsss II
Elsphants.
She can do her best work in the world
by turning her own talents 70 account
to smooth the path of . man whom she
can sway and who has all the possibili-
ties before him. So when the woman
does her utmost to use her brain in
his interest, to attend to all tiresome
details, 90 as to leave him as free h
possible from petty cares and worries.
Then the man can concentrate the
whole of his energy in his work, and
the woman's ambition is vicariously
satisfied. She watches the friend,
brother and husband, and feels, with
a half-amuscd complacency, that but
for her his end would never have been
attained. And this eternal watching
ard criticism develops in woman
greater power of knowing what men
will do in particular circumstances.
She has seen so often before that EAR
ticular circumstances have particular
effects in determining the nctions of
the workers. In the stress and hurry
of the fight the man is not conscious
which way the action is tending. He is
absorbed in doing the duty Immediate
ly before him. Thc woman locking on
coolly can say to him: .'Scc, tais line
Of conduct must lead to this and this
consequences; you have only to take ad-
vantage of it and your success will be
assured"
It is therefore because woman 10 e.
sentiaify a fooker-on that she is SO In
valuable as an adviser to man. To many
great man the advice of I'M Egeria,
wen Eli Egcria Of an obviously inferior
intellectual caliber to himself, is almost
essential. She can watch and weigh
the motives OF his adversnries, she Gun
calculate the probable effect of his own
actions, ard still more of his words,
she can cri;icisc his past decisions and
Indicate the best chance Of success in
the future. In fact, to be woman is TO
to be a mahout-a driver Of elephants.
The gosd with wh;.., she steers The ami
NAL is in kcr hand, but yet she knows,
as according to Mr.. Rudyard Kipling
every mahout knows, that some day,
sooner or later, the great beast will
get beyond her controland may turn on
her with terrible punishment for the
insult Of having kept him in subjection.
For the ultimate force in life, physical
strength, is against the woman as 1t Is
against the mahout.-London Specta-

A Rush Of Criminal B.sa.e.s.

A Rush Of Criminal Bustness.
A brisf item In last weekS HERALD
announced the recovery of ~ borse
and saddle stolen from Robert Maihes
ranch in Powell Park . shoGt tine ago
The recovery Of the property didn't
satisfy the o1acers. aud Under sberin
Williams kept on the trail until
he caught tho supposed thisf. jaime.
Kinney, on Capitol creek. twenty miles
southwest Of Aspen.
On the way back to Meeke1. Kinney
made . partial confession implicatinc
. haif-breed named william Harvey in
the stealing. In fact Harvey put Kin
nev up to stealing The horss and saddle.
The latter also informed the o1lcer that
Harvey had stolen the hides and furs
which disappeared from TsxAdermist
Morell's shop the same night The horse
aud saddle we're stolen.
As soon as Mr.. Williams got back to
Meeker he and Sheriff WIlbee started
out after Harvey. They located their
man last Sunday morning In cabin
about two miles below The mouth Of
Yellow creek. He tried to stand them
off with gun, but after some parley,
and as the officers were about to open
fire on him. he SURRENDERED. The stolen
property was recovered and the prisoner
landed in the Meeker Jail.
Harvey and kinney had prelimin-
ary hearing In the horse stealing case
Tuesday and both were bound over In
the sum OF $500 to appear ut tho next
term Of the district court. Bonds not
being Forthcoming they are behind the
bars.
Harvey had hearing In the hide case
Wednesday and in default Of $3.50 bonds
will receive his mail at the city bastile
until the next term of the district court.
County Attorney Ryan appeared for
the state and Attorney Gray for uar-
vey.
Kinney is a youth Of IS or 10 years of
age and doesn't look like a criminal.
On Monday Sheriff Wilber received
a telegram from the sheriff of Pitkin
county requesting him to arrest Fred
Barbour and Curtis Mcdaniel on the
charge of horse-stealing. The latter
was easily found and placed under ar
rest, but Sheriff WILDER had quite a
chase on Yampa river after Barbour,
finally arresting him near Maybell.
Curt Mcdaniel has resided in Meeksr
for nnmber Of years and always borne
. good reputation. Ito says ps-iR nps
implicated in the alleged horse stealing;
that he was on his way from Aspen to
Meeker and fell in with Barbour and
Travelled with him; that this was the ex-
tent OF his connection with the latter.
1t is the general belief here that Nc
Daniel is wanted principally as wit
ness. Both men were taken to Aspen
to day to await hearing In the case.

Very few people even among cattle
men, realize the amount Of good done
by the state cattle inspection board.
Last week MIR. Ben Price gave us some
figures which go to show what q benefit
the board is to the range cattle industry.
During Y8 the board received from the
sale Of 779 estrays sl7,79s.O0, and paid
over to the owners OF 100 estrays
sl7,8s6.78. For ten head Of strays own
ers had not been found at tie last meet
ing Of the board, but the money Is on
hand to pay them when they turn up.
The board keeps an efficient corps Of in
spectors at the different shipping and

Grnce of Polilenc..

Some of the most gifted men have
suffered greatly because of their rn-
civil ways and vinegar habits in speech,
manner and dress; others, because of
politeness, put everyone at perfect ease
There is grace and dignity that
charms. They have learned the happy
way of pleasing. The fop, the bore,
however richly endowed intellectually,
finds but little place among cultivated
and refined people. Such men over
step the bounds of modesty and make
themselves distasteful. The grace of
true politeness ought to be cultivated
in the early hours of life and it is
claimed by those who profess to know
that between the age of three and six
children should be very well versed in
the principles of civility, courtesy and
good breeding, and in this way make Il
habit of their lives.-Detroit Free

De Middleton was abbot of Furness

cultivation of vines and the fisheries OF

but rather thicker, and almost round
