The Sense OF Touch.

The sense Of touch is the simplest,
but at the same time one of the most
important special senses of the human
organism. 1t is possessed by nearly
all portions of the general surface of
the body, but finds its highest develop
ment in the hands.
The true skin contains multitudes
Of nerve filaments arranged in rows of
papille, about one-hundredth of an
inch in length. 1t is estimated that
there are 10000 Of these papille in a
square inch of the palmar surface of
the hand. The cuticle is absolutely
essential to the sensation of touch,
for when the true skin is laid bare by
a burn or blister, the only feeling
that It experiences from contact is
one of pain, not that of touch. The
cuticle shields the nerve flaments
from direct contact with external OBJ
jects. Touch is most delicate at the
tips Of the fingers, and the hand is
one of the most important organs.
Button declares that with fingers
twice as numerous and twice as long
we would become proportionately
wiser. Galen, however, taught that
man is the wisest of animals, not be-
cause he possesses the hand, but be-
cause he is the wisest and understands
its use the hand has been given to
him for his mind, not his hand, has
taught him the arts. Exquisite de-
licacy oftouch is attained by practice.
Without it the skill of the painter,
sculptor and musician would be rude

A RAWLINS

Rawlins was given another sensation
early Monday morning. 1t will be re-
membered that the Jungquist hardware
store was burglarized some time ago
and that the burglars are now in the
Rawlins Jail awaiting trial. Recently a
pal operating on the outside attempted
to hand into the Jail some case knives
made into q saw for the purpose Of max,
ing an opening to the outer world. but
the plan failed. Monday morning the
outside pal concluded he would do a lit
tie work on his own hook. After the
ROSTERS had heralded the APPROACH OF
dawn, he took q good-sized timber and
forced an entrance through the plate
glass windows in the front Of Louis
Schalk's place Of business. After. secur-
ing what plumber he cared to take with
him, he made his exit through the rear
door and. going through Gunning's
saloon. hastened to the rear Of the
His entrance to the Schalk
store was witnessed by two men stand
ing at the front door Of a livery barn,
but they feared to make any Interior
ence because they were unarmed. They
called the police, however, and the man
lies in the bastile. The stolen goods
were recovered.

A DELIGHTFUL PARTY AT MAEN-
NERCHOR HALL LAST EVEN
ING.
The Attendance Not so Large as Com
mon. But Everybody Enjoyed the
Occasion Immensely-A Superb
Supper by the G. l. Am Excel
lent Lodge Of a Noble Order.

Rocky Mountain Division No. 1O3 OF
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers gave a grand ball at Maennerchor
hall last evening. Although the attend
ance was no quite SO large as on former
occasions, it was a delightful affair in
all respects. The floor was not crowded
and those who delighted in tripping the
light fantastic enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely.
The only decorations which the engi-
neers displayed aside from the beautiful
festooning of the hall were a couple Of
large headlights, m on each side of the
hall. and a string Of red, blue and green
lights across the front, lending a very
pleasing effect.
From the grand march till the closing
number there was mirth and jollity for
all. The music Of the Niethe-DeForest,
Nagel orchestra never sounded better,
the prompting Of Prof. Rauner was per-
feet, and the attention given the guests
most hospitable, leaving nothing to
mar the evenings entertainment.
At midnight the ladies OF the G. l. A.
served a delicious repast in the banquet
room, and that vas the only time that
the main line was abandoned during the
night. The ladies always have the right
of-way.
Rocky Mountain Division No. 1903 OF

in their trade, conservative in their
views and honest in their transactions
with their fellow men. In all c%ontrover,
sizes which have arisen between this or,
g%anization and the company in the past,
Division 1903 has ever been on the right
side, and its members have received

OF all that skilled practitioners could
do. He made one trip to the Ogden hot
springs and found no relief from their
healing waters. The Hot Springs of Ar
kansas gave no relief and the more gem

WERE Of no avail. A little more than
three months ago he went to Missouri
In the hope that he would be benefited,
but In p short time was compelled to
wire for his faithful wife, who FASTENED
to his bedside. He was returned to this
city IL weeks ago last Monday. and has
since been confined to his residence. A
strange feature OF his last illness was
an t%nordinate appetite. the cravings Of
hunger being almost constant. On Fri

1t is x lsidered as not becoming the
dignity of university graduates. 1t does
very we'll for high schools and semi

versities and colleges are supposed to

supposed to be sufficient. Considering
that some hundreds Of dollars have been
spent each year for u seniors, in floral
tributes that after all are but little fad
ed flowers when the favored one has
time to look at them, 1t would seem
there might be some reason, from an
economical standpoint at least, for
