As Thirteen UnIucky2

Many people are superstitious
to the number thirteen. And yet,
why should they be? The original
states of the union were thirteen as
everybody knows, and no one would
be considered lucky because no had
a quarter of dollar ia his pocket,
and yet the coin is impressed with
<-thirteen'' ell over it's two sides
Count the letters III s'quorter dollar"
and you have thirteen. Count the
stars over the eagle's thirteep;
the eagle holds in it's beal
scroll Count the letters in
.'E Pluribus Unum impressed there
on-thirteen; in one talon the eagle
Craps a quiver full of darts-thirteen
in the other a branch which has thir-
teen leaves.I In each of the eagle's wings
there are thirteen feathers, and the
tail feathers number the same. Count
the crossbars in the shield on the
eagles breast-thirteen Turn the
quarter over, there are thirteen stars
surrounding Liberty and thirteen
leaves is her wreath. IF this is un
! lucky who wouldn't have barrelful

WARE WOULD SUE.
His Views on Theft of Arkansas River
Water by Colorado.

r. +. Ware bas submitted to Governor
Stanley some reasons why tire state Of
Kansas should bring = suit in the United
States Supreme court against the state Of
Colorado.
.sColorado.' Mr. Ware snys. ''claims
the right TO take every drop of water in
the bed of the Arkansas river, notwitil-
standing what may be the claims of the
land owners along the river line ia
Kansas
s.The common law of England gave to
land owners upon streams certain rights
called .rIparian'-that Is. those on higher
levels were required to respect the ma
Sural rights OF those on lower levels
Citizens of Kansas had for years enjoyed
siparian rights. but now irrigation
schemes ia Colorado have practically
consumed all of the water in the river-'7
Mr. Ware then gives the law Of the
case at considerable length, and con
clndee
.-The cutting eff of the water in the
Arkansas valley has greatly damaged
that section and greatly decreased the re-
venues of tbc state, and tire counties
along the line as well as greatly injured
the private citizen.
s.The taking of the water has greatly
augmented the wealth and revenues Of
Colorado.
--As to the right of state TO interfere
on behalf of its citizens there can be no
doubt.
AN action could undoubtedly be
brought in the United States supreme
court by The state for the protection and
assertion of its rights, and of the rights
Gf its citizens. The form of that action
and the other questions connected With il
could be decided as they arose

Hard Lines in Early Days.
Dismissal

Mr.. John Kyle relates that when
he first came to Cawker, in 1871, he
made a trip to the present site of
Gaylord, and while there a woman
died and no coffin could be procured
off TO make Il box for her burial. The
cost of lumber at that time was $50 a
thousand d-Cawker Ledger.
We can beat that story with true
one.
There was at one time resident
IF u hite township, this county, who
for4nesJy li-ed IN MerahaH county in
an early day. His habitation was
built IL the edge OF a grove and wss
made CT logs covered with poles and
dirt He and his wife were pioneers
and their nearest neighbors were
miles away. The first winter after
settlement tho wife suddenly sicken-
ed and died during a severe snow
storm and blizzard which lasted for
several days. He did not have a foot
of lumber on the place and it was
thirty miles to town OF to an under
/ taker Having two small children he
was afraid to leave them at home and
the storm was too dangerous for him
1 to take them with him to the town.
As last resort he went out into the
| timber and found q hollow tree
| which he cut down and chopped q
section of it the right length, hitched
lis yoke of oxen to it. hauled II tc
the house and split it open, placed
the remains of his wife in one hall
and closed it by putting the Other
half on top for a lid which he
fastened on with rope wrapped
around it. He then dug a grave near
his house, hitched his .oxen to it drug

snowral1 in the Mountains.

January in the mountain districts was
characterized by almost uninterrupted
fair weather and mild temperature
There We're Il few local storms, but the
snowfall generally light only one of
the 100 or more reports Indicating any
thing near the usual amount. Over
three fourths of the territory it was
less than twelve inches and 50 dry as
scarcely to make good the loss by eva
poration. On the southern slope and in
the parks of moderate elevation, the pre-
vailing bright sunshine and high tempera-
ture caused both the current fall and
much of the old snow to disappear Com
parison of current reports with data for
last year from practically the same
points shows that at attitudes ranging
from 1900 to 10000 feet the depth at
the close of January was only one

Examination Before Marriage.


Prom the Atlanta Constitution
a bill which contains the wisdom of a
race of Solomons, is now pending in the
Colorado legislature. 1t is making
physical examination before marriage
Compulsory, and the issuance of mar
riaee licenses conditional on a good per
centage made by both applicants.
The provisions of the Colorado bill are
very simple An examining board, to
consist of physicians of different schc hcols,
is to be created in each county, and be-
fore this board must go all applicants for
licenses. The people of Colorado. more
than those OF amy other state, have had
their attention called to the necessity for
such an arrangement By the fact that the
thousands of cousumpuves who flock
there annually for relief frequently con-
tract marriages which eventuate disas-
trousIy. lie is said that Governor Thomas
looks favorably upon the measure. and
will probably sign it if it reaches him
This movement has much to recon-
mend it to the medical profession and
tie laity generally. 1t has, for a long
time, been the desire of the medical
guardians of the country to place proper
restrictions around marriage, their claim
being that if candidates We're perfectly
healthy when marrying that much of the
dfseuse now existing in the country
would become lessened and the Ameri-
cans be one OF the healthIest nations in
the world. The best medical authorities
do net hesitate to say that there are very
few chronic diseases which cannot be
and not frequently, for that matter,
transmitted to posterity. In many in
stances the s.fIliction may skip genera
ton. but break out in tie third one with
increased violence.
People are prone to be selfish. and we
have not yet arrived ~ the god-llke self
abnegation which sacrifices our OWL
personal happiness for the sake of the
effect our actions may have ou those yet
unborn. But here is where the law
should take u hand, and where the ole
familiar adage. summon bonum, should
play a part. On the face of it it ap-
pears hard TO condemn two persons
who love each other, TO separate exist
ences. because one or the other ha.
some incurable disease, but in the end i
is the true humanity. Within a snor
time under such wise management
similar sacrifices would become unneces
sary, only so IN cases of extreme foil,
or aggravated persistence.
The only way to correct the man,
evils caused by this pernicious custom
sanetioning the marriage of diseased per
sons is by striking a blow at the yer,
bill before the Colorado legislature pro
poses TO do Should it become a law
the effect of its enforcement would b
watched with iRstense ea gerness by til
medical profession Of the entire world.
