stiffness was intense; it was too cold
for most of the insect-musicians, and
only far-away owl broke the silence
at long intervals. We had been sit

BILE sound, q sound like distant music,
yet not the music of the human voice
nor of any instrument, but a mystic
indefinable strain, an unembodied
voice out of the vastness, it appeared
dropped from the far silence of the

dim consciousness of the world of
solemn mystery that lay so close about
us, yet was so seldom recognized. Ii
we listen carefully in the deepest still

soft sounds springing from no assigna-

Utah and California

Are two of the most magnetic names
in the roll of states, and the best way
to reach them is over the Rio Grande
Western Railway, Great Salt Lake
Route" AS the title intimates, the
Rio Grande Western is the only line
that passes directly through Salt Lake
City on the way to California; and
Salt Lake City and the Great Salt
Lake are the two points which should
certainly not be missed on your west
ern trip, as they contain more interest
to the average American than any two
other points within the confines of the
United States. Study the matter care
fully and you will choose the Rio
Grande Western in connection with
either the Denver & Rio Grande. or
Colorado Midland railroads, for this
reason, as well as for the magnificent
scenery, superb equipment and fast
time. 1t is popular in winter, as in
summer; in fact, is very attractive
route the year round. Write to Geo.
w. Heintz, General Passenger Agent,
Salt Lake City, for particulars.

Substitute for Coal.

A good deal of anxiety has been
devoted to the question, what will the
human race do when coal gives out?
Its disappearance will not make the
slightest difference, as a chemical sub
stitute has. been discovered, which is
cheaper and better. The new century
is bound to witness many changes,
but there is one human benefactor
which will remain as firm as the Pyra-
mids, and that is Hostetters Stomach
Bitters 1t is cure for all stomach
ills. No one has been able to dis
cover anything SO effective for indi-
gestion, constipation, dyspepsia, bill
iousness, liver and kidney troubles as
the Bitters. Be sure to give it a trial,
and you will be convinced that it is
the medicine to strengthen your
stomach and restore your appetite.

However. at the time the last repor,
