received here indicate that the forest
fires have been put out by last nights

Idaho Springs. Colo, Oct. 2.-ltains
have been falling in the mountains,
and it is consequently believed that the
forest fires raging on the west slope of
the divide have about been put under
control.
Leadville. Colo, Oct. "A light
slowfall last night appears to have
somewhat checked the forest fires that
were threatening some of the mining
sections of this country. From the lat
est reports. however. it is learned the
snow was entirely too light to extin-
suish the flames. and unless another
snowfall comes within the next forty
eight hours it is feared that much
damage will be done in Lake Park and
St Kevin sections. The weather at
Leadville tonight is cloudy and cold.

fall of snow last night put a dnmper on

Men and Women prunl.ra..

Some interesting deductions are
drawn in a wo.k just published by DR..
Lawson Taft, famous English spe-
cialist. Among other things he says:
My social experience among men and
my professional experience among
women draw a most emphatic distinc-
ton between drunkards in the two
sexes. Men sit down openly with one
another and get drunk socially. Wom-
en- never do this. l never in my lie
saw woman get perceptibly the worse
for liquor at a dinner table, whereas 1
have sesn scores. if not hundreds. OF
men do it. l never saw but one wom-
an in my life the worse :or a drink at
a social dinner party. but then she
came the worse for drink. perceptibly.
A woman, after certain point, ia al
ways a secret drunkard and cunning
beyond all description" He also thinks

oood.By to Newr... Prison.

1t has been decided by the authorities
of London that historic Newsate prison
and the Old Bailey sessions house shall
be. pulled down to make room for a
spacious new sessions house. Newgate
has been prison for over 500 years,
the original buildings, after being sew
eral times repaired, giving way to an
other structure in 1910. Before it was
entirely completed it was pillaged and
burned on June and Z, 1880. by the
no-popery rioters, and after that a
sum of s15O,OOO was devoted to repair
ing and completing the fabric, which
is considered by experts to be admir-
able in design and character The
outer walls are nearly -four feet thick.
On the opening of Whitecross street
prison in 1915 Newgate ceased to be
used for debtors, and since 1882 it has
only beeh utilized for those awaiting
trial during sessions and for prisoners
condemned to death.

We can have in old age only as we
have acquired in youth and middle
life. We cannot reap wheat in our old
age If we have sown cockle-seed in
our youth; we cannot have a home to

scattered with careless hand through
youth and middle life. II We have been
a laggard and sluggard in the hours
when We should have been enterpris-
ing. wasteful and unthrifty, when we
should have been wise, we can only
drink the bitter cup which we have
been mixing for ourselves in these
previous years. When Jacob looks for
his Rachel let him remember that he
wants Rachel at whose side he will be

There is no word more frequently in
the mouths of men than that of con-
science. The word conscience properly
signifies that knowledge which a man
hath within himself of his own
thought and actions. by comparing
them with the law of God, his mind
will either approve or condemn him,
according as he hath done good or evil;
therefore this knowledge or conscience
may properly be called both an accus-
er and judge. So that whenever our
conscience accuseth us, we are GER
tainly guilty; but We are not always
innocent when it doth not accuse us:
for very often through the hardness
OF our hearts. or the fondness and ia
vor we bear ourselves, or through ig-
norance or neglect, we do not suffer
our conscience to take any cognizance
OF several sins We commit.
