and a Boston doctor steal his credit of
work. She has seen medical science and
scientific sanitation cut down the death
rate OF civilized cities by more than half
and she has seen these agencies set
bounds to the European march OF the
cholera and unprison the black death in
its own boundaries; she has seen the
workman rise into political notice, into
force, and she has the days labor Of IL

When The Tide Is Low.

Some time at eve when the tide is low
shall slip my morning and sail away !;
With no response to the friendly hail
OF kindred craft in the busy bay.
In the silent hush of the twilight pale
When the night stoops down to en-
brace the day
And the voices call then waters flow
Some time at eve when the tide is low
shall slip my morning and sail away.
Through purple shadows that darkIy
Der the ebbing tide OF the Unknown
shall fare me away with dip of sail
And ripple OF waters to tell the tale
OF n lovely voyage sailing away
To Mystics Isles, where at anchor lay
The craft of those who have sailed before
Ger the Unknown Sea to the Unseen
shore.
few who have seen me sail away
Will miss my craft from the busy bay;
Some friendly barks that were anchored
near;
Some loving souls that my heart dear
In silent sorrow will drop a tear.
But ! shall have peacefully furled my sal
In mornings sheltered from storm and
gale
And greeted the friends who have sailed
before
Der the Unknown Sea to the Unseen
Shore.

BOUND OVER.
Feeny and Burch's Bond Placed at $3.50
and $500 Respectively.

The decision in the case of Commits.
soners Feeny and Burch was handed
down by Justice Ingram Saturday night,
when he overruled their motion to dis
miss the case. They waived examin-
alton and were bound over to the October
term of the district court, Burch's bond
being placed at $500 and FeenY's at $3.50.
In the complaints, sworn out by County
Assessor Metcalf, on which the commits
sioners were arrested, it is alleged that
Feeny and Burch drew s665 apiece on
the first of February, 1897, for services
rendered in their official capacity in the
year 1896. This constitutes an excess of
SI65 over the maximum limit provided
by the statute for services rendered by
commissioners of county of the fourth
class 1t is alleged that the sums drawn
were still in excess of this sum, but GER
tain deductions were made for fees
allowable for services other than those
as county commissioners.
In addition to the above a complaint
consisting OF ten separate counts was
lodged against Commissioner Feeny,
alleging that on or about the 18th of May
1896, as duly elected and qualified
county commissioner, acting in such ca
pacity, on behalf of the county, charged
with making a contract for certain goods
and supplies did in his isindividual capacity
furnish the same and accepted compen
sation to the extent of s34S.l5, contrary
to the statutes.
The decision handed down Saturday
night was on the charge of overdrawing
salary, Commissioner Feeny having
waived examination on the charge of
furnishing supplies week previous and
was bound over on two counts in the
sum of ,ooo.

Their Fists Sewed Up.

The following classic description of
Saturdays base ball game at Fl. Logan,
culled from the Denver Republican,
may prove very familiar to trequenters
of Boulder's Athletic park:
"The glass-arm swells of Denver were
fed to the pigs this afternoon by the
cadaverous bean-eaters at the fort. The
one-lunged Reubens, who represented
the Queen City, had their shins toasted
by the basilisk-eyed dudes from West
Point. They stood around with gaping
eyeballs like hen on hot nail, and suf-
fered the tow-headed yaps from the fort
to run the bases until their necks were
long with thirst. Choate had more errors
than Cleveland's administration and led
the rheumatic procession to the morgue.
The Denvers were full of straw and
scrap iron. They couldn't hit brick
wagon with pickax and ran bases like
pallbearers at a funeral.
"If three base hits were growing on
the back of every mans neck they
couldn't reach EN- with feather duster.
1t looked as if the Amalgamated Union
of South American Hoodoos was in ses.
sion for work in the thirty-third degree
The geezers stood about and whistled for
help and were so weak they couldn't lift
a glass Of beer if it had been all foam
Everything was yellow, rocky, whang'
basted, like stig.tossel of dogglegam.
mon. The game was whiskered and
frost bitten. The blue coats were bad
en- ough, but the Denver white pants had
their fists sewed up until they couldn't
hold crazy quilt unless it was tied
around their necks."

Ants With Umbrellas.

The doings of ants are among the
most interesting things that naturalists
find to study. No members of the in
sect world present more startling sug-
gestions of intelligence and fore
thought governing their actions. 1t is
not correct. however. to explain the
habits and conduct Of ants by human
analogies. For instance. it was once
supposed that the so-called "parasol
ants" living in hot tropical countries.
carried little leaves above their heads
for the sake OF protection from the sun.
Later Investigations have shown that
the ants actually do carry leaves, sus-
pended by the stem which they hold in
their Jaws, and that columns of them
thus furnished with leaves. like an
army with banners, march in regular
order; but that the leaves. instead Of
being intended to shelter the ants from
the sunshine. are deposited by them
around their nests to form soil in
which grows kind Of fungus that they
are fond of. So the parasol ant is not
a dandy. but a farmer.
