As 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. 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
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 sixtieth mile
post. and his wife, Ann, is fitting compan-
Ion, one of those pleasant faced, agreeable
ladies, who make you feel perfectly at home
when in their company. This happy couple
were born in the same neighborhood of the
West Riding, OF York, England, in 1920: the
husband few weeks his wife's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway of life together. In 1848 they emf.

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
York Tribune, and was an ardent admirel
of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and a 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 tc
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 great many wom-
en-, she scarcely knew the meaning Of the
name sickness in relation to herself. She
refused medical attendance or treatment OF
any kind, barring that which she drew upon
from the family pharmacopnia or dispensary.
Using Mrs. Moore's language: "For four
years was miserable, hardly week passed
during that time but what l suffered from
extreme lassitude. The least exertion ia
tigued me. At times when I would be sew
ing or reading, I would be troubled with
tingling sensations, like the pricking of pins
in hands, feet, arms and legs. Occasionally
water fairly running from my face and hands.
Then for days it would seem impossible for
me to enjoy minute of warmth. l would
sit in a rocking chair alongside a roaring fire
in the stove wrapped up in blankets, yet
while my face would be scorched, the rest of
my body would be chilled.

Dairy and Creamery.

Peas and oats, half and half, sown

Corn drilled in is also one Of the best
Of crops to be cut green in the blade
and fed to cows. The oats and barley
from spring seeding should be fed just
as the head is forming.
A "soiling CROP is one designed to
be cut green and fed to animals in a
stable or confined place.
In the reduced scale of prices to
which everything has come. it is the
first duty Of the dairyman and cream
cry man to study the production Of milk,
butter and cheese at reduced cost. The
dairyman should make scientific study
Of foods and form ration that will
bring better results at less cost. The
creamery man should utilize every scrap
Of waste products in his factory and
scan narrowly his machinery and see
whether labor cannot be saved there.
A shorter distance to transport the
milk, economizing every pound Of pow
er possible, making SO many pounds Of
steam perform two or three operations
at once, are ways in which the cream
cry man may cut down expenses. It is
not economy, however, to use cheap or
wornout machinery or old and rusty
milk utensils and old soakers Of butter
tubs
The report of the Elgin board of trade
shows that both the butter and cheese
of the district handled by that board
fell off in 1896 as compared with 1895.
In 1895 the figures were 39,028, 543
pounds of butter and 10, 696, 90 pounds
of cheese. For 1896 the board handled
38, 655, 249 pounds Of butter and 7,297,-

THE DREADED BACK DRAFT.

One of the Worst Perils That Confront
the Firena.a.
In st. Nicholas there is an article on
"The Perils of a Fireman's Life" by
Charles T. Hill, who has written sew
eral articles on the New York fire de-
partment for this magazine. Mr. Hill
says:
Next to dangerous cellar fire moth
ing is more dreaded by the men than
what is known in their own language
as the "back draft" {" This is sudden
veering of the flames. usually caused
by the burning away of some portion of
the building that-gives the fire renewed
draft and changes it's course coE.pletely.
The firemen arrive and find the whole
second or third floor of building in
flames. Axes in hand, they smash open
the doors. and with the hose dash up
the stairway. This is all afire, and the
flames are rolling above like red pail.
With the engine at work and good pres
sure on the line, the battle between the
two elements, fire and water, begins.
Inch by inch the men fight their way
up the stairway, now to retreat as the
fire gains upon them and now to ad-
vance as it rolls away for moment.
The encouraging words of the COM
manding officer are heard behind them
urging them on: 'Now, get in, boys!
That's it-get in-get in! Make the
next landing! Hit it up, boys'' and
all the other words Of encouragement
that he usually gives.
They finally reach the landing. They
are OH the floor with the fire. It rolls
away from them. They drive it farther
back Encouraged by their seeming vic
tory, they drag up more Of the heavy
hose to make final dash at it, when
suddenly something falls in at the rear
of the fire that gives it renewed draft
1t rolls tow ard them, an impenetrable
wall of fire-the deadly back draftl
Their only chance Of escape is to throw
themselves upon their faces, in hope
that it may roll over them, or to hurl
themselves down the stairs up which
they have SO gallantly fought their way.
Better broken leg or arm than death
by roasting, and the water of 80 en-
gines could never stay the progress of
that awful wave of flame.
Many brave fellow has lost his life
in this manner, and very often all the
members of company return with
their eyebrows, hair and beard singed
off, bearing evidence that they have
been "ketched," as they express it, by
a less terrible form of this deadly draft

A Wasted Sermon.

A teacher in large public school at
Peckham has recently been much an
noyed by the persistency with which
one of her scholars plays truant. She
was on the point Of reporting his case,
when she spoke to one Of the lady su-
pervisors. This lady believes in kind
ness rather tIan harsher measures and
told the teacher to send the offender to
her house the next time he was trouble
some.
So one afternoon there appeared at the
lady's house boy. The supervisor was
all smiles and attention, and she treat
ed him to ''spread" the like of which
he probably had never enjoyed before
He was soon made to feel perfectly at
home.
Now" thought the benefactress,
"is the time to preach my little ser
mon. ," So she put before him the evils
of playing truant and besought him to
be model boy in the future.

her:

Criminals, Surprising to Relate, Seem to
Have Weakness For 1t.
1t is curious fact, to which Grim
inologists have not paid much attention,
that large proportion of instructive
criminals have tattoo marks put upon
their persons. said DR.. George s. Will
liams. physician of the Missouri peni
tentiary. ''It is a paradox that this
fancy should be part of the criminal
mind, for tattoo marks the subject
for life. 1t would seem more natural
for the criminal to avoid all such marks
in order to the better conceal his iden-
tity from the sleuths of the law. The
operation of tattooing is quite painful,
but even this is not deterrent. Grim
inals, by the way, seem able to stand
more pain than persons of honest in
stincts and habits. The desire to be tat
toOed, however, is the strangest and
most. incomprehensible freak Of the
criminal intellect. 1t cannot be account
ed for ON any other hypothesis than
that there is an unyiel D g and invari-
able compensating law of nature which
operates in the interest Of orderly con-
duct and behavior. But for the tattoo
marks with which many hardened and
incorrigible wretches decorate their
skin many a criminal who is now con-
fined behind strong prison walls where
he can do the world the least amount
of harm would be at liberty today,

ular among the female criminals as
among the males, though women rarely
have the mark put in as conspicuous
places as the men. There is an interest
ing field of study here for the student
of criminology. Lombroso has merely
called attention to the fact of which
speak without attempting to explain
the causes that lead to it,, but he is the
only specialist of note that seems to
have given the matter any. notice. 1t
more frequently happens than otherwise
that criminals who submit to the tat
tooing operation choose design sug-
gestive of the lewd and libidinous, and
in this is contained the positive hint of
a diseased condition of mind which
probably explains the real cause of the
foolish and unbusinesslike custom. The
habit seems to be SO universal among
instructive criminals that am inclined
to believe there must be some one or
more institutions in the country where
they get the work done. Few of them
here will give the slightest hint of when
or where they had the work done, which
leads to the supposition that it is one of
the numerous secrets of the craft. -

Trimmed Skirts.

Many of the styles of trimming used
on summer skirts and bodices, says q
New York writer, are not at all admi-
rable. They are extremely fussy without
being effective. The great amount of
time and work expended upon flimsy
little endless rows of plated, hem
stitched and lace edged ruches and
frills seem wholly out of proportion to
the result produced. Dresses of this sort
are no doubt very fashionable, but they
are also very expensive, the chiffon,
silk malin, tulle and other diaphanous
textiles used not being calculated to
withstand even ordinary wear and tear.
More economical and quite as pretty,
even for dressy uses. are gowns of india
null, French organdie, batiste and china

A Novelty Cape.

A novelty cape is of black plated net.
1t is doubled before plating. The folded
edge is finished with two inch edging
put on smoothly. There are half dozen
bands of ribbon, one above the other.
These ribbons are of graduated widths.
The ribbon lace and material are all
plated, and this made up frill is at
tached to yoke of the richest embroid-
cry. The collar is of frilling of the
same sort, only narrower, and ribbon
loops trim the front, while clusters OF
loops fall from the collar over the cape
at intervals of about two inches all
around. New York Ledger.

Freshening q Waist.

A pretty way to freshen a white
chiffon or organdie waist, says fash
ion authority, is to cut away the entire
portion that covers the upper part of
the bodice and shoulders, stitching the
raw edges thus made to secure them,
then adding new yoke top, either of
lace and insertion, all lace, tucked in
dia muslin, net or shirrings of organdie
alternating with rows of ribbon. An
other effective method is to add from
Uhe shoulder seams long surplice scarf
ends laid in soft folds. Bring these in
diminuendo plaits to the waist, knot
lightly, then let the sashes fall un-
draped we'll over the skirt front. Add
wholly new sleeves that match in ma
terial and arrangement the style of the

VILLAGE ODDITIES.
English Towns Distinguished For Being
One of q Kind.

English Towns Distinguished For Being
One of q Kind.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
township in England is that Of Skiddaw,
in Cumberland. It contains but one
house, the occupier of which is unable
to exercise the Briton's privilege of vot-
ing because there is no overseer to pre-
pare voters list and no church or 9th
er place of worship or assembly on
which to publish one.
The most remote village in England
is that of Farley -cum-PittOn. This tru-
ly rural spot is 3O1a miles from the
nearest railway station. AS contrast
to this may be mentioned the hamlet Of
Ystrad, about 10 miles from Cardiff.
This tiny settlement possesses two i'm
portant main roads, two railways and
two large rivers.
A very unique feature is exclusively
claimed by Trimley. small village in
Suffolk. In the one churchyard of the
parish two churches are to be seen. Serv-
ice is conducted three times a week in
each of these churches at the same hour.
The deepest we'll in England is found
at Hamilton, in Hampshire. 1t stretch
es $50 feet below the surface of the
earth. About half way down this we'll
shaft is subway, three miles in length,
which leads to the seacoast.
On the top of the parish church tow
er in Bicknoller, Somersetshire, is a
yew tree, now five feet high and still
growing in hardy fashion. It is gen.
orally believed that the tree owes its
origin to seed dropped by bird.
Perhaps the most splendidly deco
rated church in the kingdom is that of
Whitley Court, Worcestershire 1t is en-
tirely constructed of white marble, the
pews are chastely carved, and the pull
pit is of genuine Carrara marble, richly
paneled with precious stones.

"Dispergei"

Shakespeare, who rendered eloquent
tribute to the native authority of kings,
lords and military commanders, seldom
shows like respect i'll his treatment of
civic dignitaries. Justice Shallow and
Dogberry for instance, are SO delicious
1y absurd that their sayings have often
been criticised as too good to be true.
Perhaps, but they can occasionally be
pretty closely paralleled.
There is something quite in the
Shakespearean manner in the simplicity
of former magistrate Of Newburyport,
in the old day of cues and rutfied
shirt bosoms A case was being tried
before him in which the accused. who
stoutly denied the charge, was asserted
to have stolen from gentleman new
set of shirts.
"A pretty story that should take his
shirtsl" exclaimed the irate culprit But
when be was searched a moment later
it was revealed that he was at the mo-
ment arrayed in the whole six, one over
the other. The good justice was shocked.
"What villain!' he exclaimed. Then
he added reproachfully: why didn't
you tell me you were villain! Why
didn' you save tho time of the court,
the spectators and the witnesses by own
ing up you were villain in the first
place?"
A few years later a constable of the
same town made remark worthy OF
Doaberry himself. A knot of little boys
had been hanging about the entrance t.
the town hall before public meeting.
As the officer came in sight all ran away
but one, and to this lone youngster be
addressed his orders in tone of mingled
dignity and wrath.

little girl, chasing robins and black
birds and butterflies that were SO tame,
where the men were cutting the grass.
"Don't go near that round place that
is not moved, little DEAR" said one Of
the men, "for there is a yellow wasp's
nest right in the center of it.
Now, Lillian Green is one of the best
little girls to mind that you ever saw.
But of course all little girls years old
are apt to forget, and SO when a poor
chip bird fell off a tree with broken
wing, caused by bad boy who flung a
stone, Lillian ran for it. The poor bird
screeched her little screech of pain and
ran along OH the moved ground, and
Lillian after it, until it led the little
girl right into that awful wasps' nest.
And then, oh. such screaming, you
could have heard it if you had been
within a quarter of a mile of the place.
Lillian's mother heard it and ran out
of the house in no time and rubbed her
little girls legs and face with wet salt.
This stopped the pain, and'Lillian was

grapevine, and she went to sleep. But
that bad boy that was the cause of it
all went home unpunished, and never
thought that it was his own wicked
ness, in breaking that poor birds wing,
that caused even more pain afterward.
That is the way one bad act always
leads to another. or, as in our little
Lillian Green's case, one cruel stone
flung at bird may cause sting in the
face Of a little girl.-Ellen Ring in
