DIT. Il. F EIdrldge,
Grand Junction, Colo.

In recently published life of Hum
boldt. 1t is stated that he was too
much occupied with scientific re-
searches to make money or look after
the practical comforts of life. On one
occasion he was dining with a rich
banker in Berlin, and contrary to his
wont, was silent and anxious. His
host enquired the cause of his depres-
sion. Humboldt replied: Il heard yes
terday that the house in which nave
lived for thirty years Is for sale. The
site is valuable and the house will be
torn down, no doubt, to make way for
business block. 1t Is my home, and
very dear to me. never can feel that
any other house in this world Is
home" The banker made some courte-
GUS reply, and turned the conversation.
A moment later he scrubbed line
upon a card and gave 1t to a waiter.
Toward the end of the dinner he re-
ceived an answer. Turning to his
guest, he said, in low voice; II have
Just learned that l am the owner of
the house in which you live. I will

MOST ENJOYABLE SURPRISE.
The Woodmen of the World Last
Night Entertained About
Fifty UNLIMITED Guests.

Last night, while William the "Teri-
own private castle, surrounded by many
OF his loyal subjects, who had long since
ceased to fear his threatening looks and
| attitudes, and were convulsed with
laughter at the terrified expressions OF
some who were strangers in that part Of
the wood and had asked permission to
make their home at the camp and whom
he had chosen as the subjects for some
OF his pranks, was just making things
interesting, there was loud and pro-
longed ringing of the bell at the entrance
to the Camp. Evidently frightened at
the unexpected noise William reared
and plunged, very much endangering
the safety of those who were nearest
him.
Sentries were instructed to investigate
the cause of the alarm. They presently
returned and announced that there were
no enemies without but about fifty Ia
dies from the Circle of the Women OF
Woodcraft, who had come for the pur-
pose OF mading a neighborly call.
They were instructed to tell the ladies
that as soon as the camp could be
put in readiness they would be invited
to enter. In the meantime they amused
themselves as suited their fancy. The
anteroom, hallway and stairs OF Odd
Fellows hall was packed with women all
men. bers of Apple Blossom Circle No.
1O7 Women OF Woodcraft.
Presently the doors Of the lodge room
we're thrown open and then the merri-
ment began. Tho ladies had not come
empty handed as was soon shown by the
abundant supply of ice cream and cake
which the ladies proceeded to serve.
There was a spirit of neighborliness
and kindly feeling manifested which
characterizes all the joint meetings of
these two organizations.
1t was midnight before those assem-
bled departed for their homes and by
that time it had been decided beyond
question that the members OF Book Cliff
Camp No. 81 were royal entertainers,
and the ladies had been most cordially
invited to "come again"

Nailed Himself in the Coop.

A West Hoboken, N. j., man start
ed to build chicken coop the other
morning. He constructed the first
floor and then stood on 1t and nailed
up the side boards from the inside.
After he had finished the work to his
satisfaction he found that he had left
no place by which he could get out
the only opening in the coop being all
right for chicken, but hardly large
enough for a man. The coop was I'M
covered, but he could not cliUb up the
sides and he was not able 10 pry of
any of the boards with his hammer,
so he had to shout for help. After the
neighbor who heard his cries had fin
ished laughing he demolished part Of
the coop and the builder was at lib
erty.

BEATITUDEs OF PROHIBITION


Our prohibition friends who be-
lieve that in their doctrine is held
the cure>all Of everything from
measles to jim>ja the antidote
for either drouths or floods, fire or
famine; which stops taxation, abol-
ishes poverty, heads off death, turns
sinners into saints and tramps into
nabobs, are invited to read the fol>
lowing from bleeding Kansas,
which has had stomachful of
their treatment for a number of
years past and is now anxious to
throw it off. We quote from the
Wauthena, (Kansas,) Star, whose
editor used to be a Prohibitionist
but now never passes saloon
without sampling its contents. If
the Brothers Rice have any tears to
shed, let them prepare to shed them
after reading the following harrow
ing experience:
"The prohibitory law is nearly
nineteen years old. 1t went into
effect May 1, 1881. Out of re-
spect for the feelings of friends, the
funeral services have not yet been
held, but this child of statutory
temperance has been dead so long
that other children have grown to
manhood and womanhood means
while. The friends of temperance
are talking Of holding big cele>
bration on the date of the anniver-
sary of the law. What is there to
celebrate There is open violation
of the law in every city and town
in Kansas. 1t has never been en-
forced; it never will be. A man
can buy whiskey and beer any
where in the state The only re-
quisite the price. In most Of the
larger towns the license system
prevails. In the smaller towns the
COLLINS of the law sweep
down upon a jointist, but in the
event Of conviction, the fine and
costs assessed against him rarely
amount to the price OF license
elsewhere. Personal considerations
weigh nothing with the writer in
the view of the matter herein set
forth. He is not drinking man.
He believes the law should be ems
forced because it is the law. But
scratching the label off the bottle
doesn't take the taste of quinine
out Of ones mouth. Celebrating
the passage of a law, which has
never been even nominally enforc>
ed, is an equally senseless proceed
ing. The temperance people are
making monkeys ofthemselves. The
prohibitory law has fewer assets
and greater liabilities than any fad
that ever obtained foothold in the
state. This position is taken, too,
with all the follies and vagaries of
the populist party in mind"

A little elbow leans upon your knee.
Your tired knee, that has so much to bear;
A child's dear eyes ara looking lovingly
From underneath thatch OF tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warrn moist fingers, folding yours so tight;
You do not prize this blessing oyermuch;
You are almost too tired to pray tonight,
But it is blessednessi A year ago

We are 80 dull and thanl5less and too slow
To catch the sunshine tin it slips away.
And now it seems surprising strange TO me
That, while ] wore the badge Of motherhood,
did not Kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought ME only good.
And If some night, when you sit down to rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired knee,
This restless. curling head from OF your breast,
This lisping tongue that clatters constantly
II from your own the dimpled hands had slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
II the white feet into their grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heartache then II
wonder that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.

Tomorrow make 4 kite to reach the sky,
There is NO woman in Gods world could say
She was more bliss!ully content than l.
But ali, the dainty pillow rcxt my own
Is never rumpled by shining head!
Ny singing birding from its nest has flown;
The little boy l used to kiss is dead
Mrs May Riley Smith in Baltimore News.
