HAVING HIS MONEYS WoRrH.
An old gentleman living in the

it was available would be up.
He endeavored to get it extend

travelled into the City and ont
again several times q day, and the

Owl courtships.

Very funny it 10, from the hum
an point of view, to witness the
lovemaking Of couple Of owls on
. moonlight night, as they sit to-
gether on the coping of an old wall.
or on the horizontal limb OF some
giant Of the forest. Perched on
the same bough, or the same wall
or ruin, the lady owl, though
usually much bigger and stronger
than her mate looks the picture of
demure coyness, il little excited
imwardly, like girl at her frat
ball.
But the male owl, says the Pail
Mall magazine, 10 very much in
earnest for q moment or two he
remains quite still, then he puffs
out all his feathers, bows, and ut
ters o softened scream, followed by
Q modified hiss that is full Of tender
meaning, and then be nudges her
with his wing; she gives him .
sidelong glance, and opens her eyes
very wide; that may be hint, for,
horrible to relate, from the depths
of his interior he instantly brings
up q hslf-digested mouse ; and. al-
though she 10 full of similar ro-
dents and stag beetles as she can
comfortably hold. she opens her
mouth and accepts the fragrant
gift with q murmur of satisfaction
that speaks volumes of love and
thanks. Then, when the dainty
morsel has been disposed of, they
caress each other tenderly for mo-
ment or two, and then sit closely
pressed to each others side while
the process Of assimilation 10 per-
fected, after which they simnltane-
ously fit away into the moonlight
on noiseless wing in search Of fur-
ther prey.
Not only do the owls guard each
other Eith . devotion that 10 hardly
met with among more favored crea-
lures, they positively idolize their
ill-favored offsprings for whose sake
they willingly risk not only liberty,
but life. a young owl is not an
attractive looking object from our
point Of view, but in his fathers
and mothers eyes it is perfection,
and the var they wait on IL, cuddle
and caress il, feed it and keep it
clean must be seen to be believed.

Temporary Death.

Every moment wasted is 20 mncl
time given TO death. We live onl,
- much - We use our time. One
With seventy years may live bui
twenty Of them. What IL spent in
needless sleep is taken from his
years; and 30 what idleness con.
snmes. 0nly while We do or en-.
JOY, do we live.
One shonld never wait for time
to pass. as that ID calling on death
e hurry up. II time hangs heayi.
~, We should get 70 work, 30 u 70
live in that time, and add to oui
life instead Of our death. We are
alive only as long as we are doing
well with our time. Doing moth.
ing surrenders life, and doing bad
" surrenders more. One should
not be killing himself BY bad liv-
ing. He lives longest who lives
best, and life while it lasts is worth
most to him.
When we have 80 little of any
thing as Of time, We should not
make it less by missing it, or by
not using it. OF ell things that q
man may give away, his life should
be least willingly parted with. Ev-
cry one ought to learn to make life
much.
One should never give any Of his
life for what 10 worth less than life;
and he should keep himself fully in
life while he lives.
To live best one must do oil for
which life is adapted; so that he
should consider, when he let's any.
thing 60, how much Of life goes
with it.
When one knows not what to do,
his first business 10 to learn. Time
should not be spent in waiting that
may be given to working. There
10 too much to be done to excuse
idleness; and he who has nothing
to do has simply not found his
work. We're he more alive, he
would know his duty, and be at it.
One should fear TO be idle, lest
he die for awhile; and death should
not come in the middle Of life, and
more than prematurely at the end.
While one is alive, he should all
live, and live all the time. We
have many ways Of dying and many
Of being dead; and death before our
time is always sad, as also tenn pora-
ry death.
When sleep takes too much of
our time, death gets it; and so
when idleness does. One must be
very much alive not to be encroach-
ed on by death. IL we live seventy
years, we should have seventy years
of life, instead of a life that is most
ly death.
Having only as much life as time,
We shorten what We have, il we do
not use our time. One should, ac-
cordingly. ask how much he lives in
o day. For they are great livers,
as we'll as great workers and great
enjoyers; and. as some get much
more life in the same time than 9TH
ers, people should learn to live, and
become expert at it.
Many loug for Immortality who
have too much life already. They
know not how to spend century.
and yet want an eternity. Nobody
10 fit for immortality who cannot
use we'll what time he has.-N. Y.

William X. Pollard.

A Peoria, ILL.,, paper of recent
date contained the following sketch
of the life of the late Mr.. Pollard
THE deceased was born near Monmouth,
March 26, 1851, and was in his forty-second year.
He was the son of II. G. Pollard, one Of the most
prominent residents of that part of the state,
and educated in the Monmouth schools,
growing to manhood in that city. In 1881 he
went to Crested Butte, Colo, where he engaged
in the livery business, and established stage
line that carried United States mail between
that city and Aspen, Colo.
HE was married in that city on June 3, 1885,
to Miss Cordelia Z. White, who survives him,
with one daughter, Miss Lena Pollard aged II
years.
''In September, 1891 Mr.. Pollard camo to
Peoria to take charge of the Office of the Ma
tional Cash Register company in the National
hotel building He was of that disposition that
won him a large number of warm friends in a
short time all of whom will be deeply srieved
to learn OF his death.n
Mr.. Pollard was very prominent
in Masonic circles and was dea-
con in the Baptist church in Peoria.
His widow is a sister of Mrs. w.
Ii. Wilson Of this city.

Another Wedding.

Mr.. William Merritt and Miss
frankie Gulliford were united in
marriage at the home of the brides
parents last Wednesday evening,
Rev. J. l.. Read officiating. They
were attended by Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Gardiner. After the ceremony had
been performed, the newly welded
couple received the congratulations
of the large company present, and
then all partook of a sumptuous
wedding supper. A great many
beautiful and useful presents at
tested the esteem in which the
couple is held.
Mr.. Merritt has lived in this
city for ten years or more and is an
industrious young man who holds
everybody for his friend.
The bride is the second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. FL. Gulliford
and has grown from childhood to
womanhood in Crested Butte. She
is admired and respected by all as
a young lady worthy of the esteem
of everyone.
The PILOT offers sincere wishes
for a happy union.

SENATOR KYLE.

That an obscure and apparently
mediocre country preacher III a
Colorado mountain village should
through a series of remarkable ac-
cidents, drift into the American
Senate and become n statesman, is
one of the romances of our politics.
Drifting from one pulpit to an
other he was forced, against his
wishes, into the Dakota legislature,
from county where he was preach
ing. He had been Republican,
but went in with the Populist wave
as member of that body. A fierce
rivalry of the South Dakota Popu-
list politicians led to a deadlock
and compromise which sent the
amiable country preacher, without
any seeking of his own, to the
United States Senate as Popu-
list. Throughout his term he dis
played calm and conservative abil-
ity and gradually suppressed the
smile that went around when he
first arose to speak. His speeches
were remarkable for their sturdy
sense. But they were not dema-
gogue enough for the extreme
South Dakota Populists and the
politicians of his party were a unit
against him at the end of his term.
A small group of Populist members
of the legislature, however, stood
by him and with the aid of the
Republican legislative minority
elected him for second term. He
is now drifting back into the Re
publican party and will probably
receive third term.
Nobody doubts his sincerity.
But his intelligent conservatism is
also stamping him as a statesman.
The forecast of his work as the
head of the Industrial commission
indicates that his head is cool and
level. He is faithful to the com
mon people, but is also just to vest
ed interests. His attitude is broad
and liberal. 1t is of such men that
presidents are sometimes made
Denver Republican.
Crested Butte is the "Colorado
mountain village" referred to in
the foregoing, and while the phrase
is little homely, Ex-senator Hill
is excusable on account of the
kind words said for Senator Kyle.
1t was here, some ten years ago,
that the then Reverend Mr.. Kyle
ministered to the spiritual welfare
of the attendants of the Union
Congregational church. He was
beloved for his sterling qualities
as man and high example as
minister of the gospel, and it af-
fords his many old friends in this
city much pleasure to note the
rapidity with which he has so
deservedly risen to distinction and
honor.
