THE OLD SLED.
I brinsy 1t out to try once moro

brinsy 1t out to try once moro
If II will run as true
As once IT did In days of yore,
When down the hill it flew.
1t greets me with the old-time smile:
With Joy, it shouts: Hello!
How glad | am-'tis such awhile
Since we enjoyed the snow!
spray who is this one by your side?
He looks as you did last
When on the hill we had our slide,
And all the sleds we passed
"This is my boy. He's here to try
With me the hill you know;
And now, old fellow, you and
Must show him how to 60"
s'You bet we will! I'm glad to sec
The man is still the boy,
And he has not forgotten me
In all his winters joy"
We hasten to the hillside gay,
Where coasters thick are found;
They called it sliding in my day,
But now new names abound.
f'Jlst point me straight" the dear old sled
Says, ere we would begin
"Then give good strong push ahead;
Wen see who tits shall win
We start, and go with quickenlng speed,
The rest soon leave behind;
Swift as the wind we keep our lead
The old-time lead l find.
The boy, he laughs and shouts with glee,
"Was ever there such fun?"
So fast we go, we hardly see
Till soon our trip is done.
We slowly stop but far from where
The others cease to slide,
Who stem forward to declare
Ours was dandy ride.

him. In his leaping about the savage
beast upset the candle, and as the
hut was made of wood and grass 1T
was soon ablaze. The people did not
try to save it. 1t was a good way to
destroy a tiger which had done them
much damage, and they danced around
the blazing hut and jeered at him as
he howled and whimpered. In a few
minutes the flames had overcome him
and he was dead. The widows home
had been destroyed in destroying the
tiger, but next day the villagers
turned out and built her a new and
better one, and some travellers who
came along and heard the story gave
the boy so much money that he was
the richest lad in the village Chicago
Inter Ocean.

Doctors for AiIing Plants.

"A writer in the Contemporary Re-
view urges the need of n new class Of
educated physicians whose business
shall be the care and cure Of disease
threatened and disease-stricken plants.
The time will come" he says, when
every agricultural district will have it's
plant doctor" He even foresees the de-
velopment Of specialties by plant doc
tors just as by other physicians, so that
in many difficult and obscure cases Of
disease affecting valuable plants, the
services of such specialists will be en-
ployed. The foundation of schools of
practical plant pathology is urged as a
matter of national importance.

A duel was once fought by two men
named Shot and Mott. Mott was shot
and Shott was not. In this case it is bet
ter to be Shott than Mott. There was a
rumor that Mott was not shot, but that
Shott was shot Notwithstanding. Cir
cumstantiaI evidence is not always
good. On trial it might appear that the
shot Shott shot shot Mott, or it might
be possible that the shot Shot shot
shot Shott himself, when the whole af-
fair would be as at first, and Shot
would be shot and Mott would be not.
We think, however, that the shot Shot
shot shot not Shott, but Mott; anyway,

Fell From the Bridge :.

This morning about o'clock quite an
accident occurred to George Norris, a
freight brakeman on the Colorado Mid
land railroad The train had stopped
on the bridge about two miles east OF
DeBeque and Brakeman Norris started
to walk along the bridge at the side of
the train, but lost his balance and fell
headlong into the ravine below, sustain
ing injuries about the head and shoul-
ders.
Mr.. Norris was picked up and brought
to this city. The train was met at the
depot by Drs. Ingersoll and Henderson,
Conductor johnson having telegraphed
ahead for physicians and they attended
to the mans injuries, making him as
comfortable as possible, and preparing
him for the trip to the hospital at Lead
vile where he was taken this morning
Mr.. Norris is new man on the Mid
land having been employed about a
month, and was probably somewhat un-
familiar with the road. He has a wife
and children in Kansas.

go to my ranch, am compelled, if 1t be
in the summer to contemplate and dread
trip which takes away much of the
pleasure Of having home, any distance
removed from the city-I refer to the
main road from here to Fruita. l don't
doubt in the least that the board of
county commissioners have endeavored
to do their best to make road, which it
is comfortable to drive upon, but owing
to the condition ofthe soil they have fail
ed edlamentably, through no fault OF theirs
but simply because they do not operate
on an extensive scale to bring the road
to a good condition. 10 other words
they spend money each year upon the
road which is like throwing money away.
And now come to the great necessity
of the valley and that is that grand
Boulevard, for driving and for hauliog
should be built from point near Gre
vase on the west through Grand Juno
ton to Palisade. Let it cost what it
may it will be a saving in the end. Bonds
could be sold and the interest paid and
sinking fund created for their pay
ment, with little or no extra cost over
what is annually expended now on this
road or excuse for a road. 1t does not
matter 30 much the condition of the
roads entering into this main roadway,
as the valley is narrow and naturally a
road OF the character describe would
attract those who live off its lines direct
ly to it, to enjey the comfor. of travel
upon same. 1t would beeem,, al hand
some driveway as one could imagine.
Trees could be cultivated on either side
and in few years boulevard of mag
nificent proportions would exist, which
would become noted all over the state.
you have the atone, in the gravel of
the river or the shale rock at tho mouth
OF the Grand river canon to make the
roadway and you have no excuse what
ever for not having driveway, OF the
character which have described"
Mr.. Hurlburt talked earnestly while
speaking to The Sentinel reporter and
the words OF a man SO successful as he
has been, should carry some weight, es-
pecially indeed as it is that class OF men
who have money to spend and spend it
liberally, which this valley Is always de-
sirious Of welcoming and for whom Of
forts have always been and are now be-
ing made to secure their residence. Mr..
Hurlburt and his partners are anxious
to see a smelter built in the valley and it
is just such things as appeal to their fan
cy and their business judgment which
secures men OF wealth, without which
communities have little before them.

The talk of the lobby oftimes brings
forth ideas which are profitable to any
community. Here are gathered from
time to time men of all classes and con-
ditions and men of ability in commercial
and professional life. A hotel is the
m scca usually, where congregase those
who make up the life of any city or town,
1t is not thu exception in this city. An
examination OF the register at the chief
hotel of the city will discover the names
Of men from all parts of the nation and
world. He is a dullard indeed who can
not gain some information from the cur
rent talk which takes place in such a
gathering place,
Saturday one of the guests at the
Brunswick was George r. Hurlburt, of
Ouray, one of the owners OF the famous
Bachelor mine, which mine has made
him one OF the richest men Of the San
Juan. Nor are his mining operations
confined to the development of this one
rich mine, but he has sought and Is seek
ing fguratively "other worlds to con-
quer" in mining operations.
OF the money that he has made from
the Bachelor he has spent not a fortune,
but what might be .sonsidered hand
some competency in this valley OF the
Grand. Along the Grand river west of
Fruita, near what is known as "Hcrse
Thief Canon" he has erected delight
full residence, which at some portions of
the ear is occupied by himself and fam
lily. Here he retires when he is weary
with tho work and toll incident 10 min
ing operations and finds rest and COM
fort In the contemplation of the beauties
of nature, which the spot he has chosen
abounos in, and enjoys life much as does
the English country gentlemen upon his
estate. There is not much pretense or
show about the place, save for the al
most palatial home and grounds sur
rounding, for George r. Hurlburt is
plain man and he loves to live life OF
simplicity, although abundantly able to
crafty almost any extravagant tastes
which he might have.
Speaking of the beauty OF the Grand
valley and what an ideal place it must
eventually become, he said in part: II
love this valley and think that there is a
great future before it, but there is one
thing which is great drawback to this
