peradded the chromatic beauty of a
superb and glowing i~ridescence. Far
off to the northeast as the sun falls to
ward the horizon, II sees gigantic
shadows of grotesque and unusual
form creeping majestically up the can
on wall, creating in their stately march
| cool CULTS of violet shade that run back
for miles from the river and bring out
the Gothic outline of the sculpture in
matchless definition.
! The whole canon seems to be en-
| dowed with life, so Npid and palpaDle
are the transitions VI to the ever
| changing position of the sur. With a
%cloudless sky the canon, on an October
morning, is dull gray and quite life
less; but soon the great wizard lays
his wand upon the walls and a magic
transformation follows. The great,
deep gorge becomes %enveloped in a
mantle of color so soft and yet so bril-
liant that all other pictures one has
seen grow perfectly tame in compari,
son. The whole world seems aglow
with subdued fire; and yet through all
this ethereal veil and intinity of color
the host of forms filling the canon. and
whose sculpturing by the SLOW hand
Of time runs back TO II planets youth,
stands out superlatively clear and dis
tinct. Not one of them is lost. The
color robes them in opulent garb but
there is no observation.
At your feet lies a world OF cxquis-
itely painted, inanimate figures, seem
ingly infused with life by the leaping,
flaming, sea of color created by the
king of day, and without whose alchem-
ic touch the entire picture would he
a mass of inert rock and dirt clad in
a robe of ghostly gray.
The forms with nothing but their
own color are intensely interesting,
for the chiseling is marvellous and
unique; but seen thus the picture is
~listless and appeals more to our in
q~uisitiveness than to the sense of beau
ty. But under the suns illumination
the canon takes on lev features which
arouse the entire imaginative and po-
etc side of ones nature and awake
the soul to a perfect appreciation
Of the endless and diversified beauties
placed here by the Creator n which
on every hand testify to His limitless
power.

TALL CORN

doesn't come by accident. A
fertile soil and careful cultiva.
ton are necessary to produce
the towering stems and heavy
ears.
Yet the farmer who under
stands that he can't have a
healthy corn crop without
feeding and wedding, seems
to think that he can have a
healthy body without either
care or culture. But the BODY
is built up Just as the corn is,
by the assimilation of the
several chemical clements ON
which vitality depends. And
what weeds are TO the corn,
diseases of the stomach and
nutritive systems are 10 the
body they divert the neces.
sary food supply from the
proper channels, and the
body becomes lean, sickly
and ill.nourished.
The proper digestion and
assimilation of food is a pri-
mary essential of health. By

ach and organs of digestion and
nutrition, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery increases
the digestive and assimilative
powers, stimulates the action

A Splendid Sample.

Some time ago Mr.. j. A. Couch.
of the Winfield Hardware
and Furniture Co., secured
a piece of hickory wood from
Dugdemonia swamp and shipped
it to the Ivory Handle Co., Hope,
Ark, and requested them to make
an ak handle of il to see if the
timber i'm this country is suitable
for such purposes. The handle
made from this piece of timber
has been returned and is the finest
ever seen in this place, 1t is
smooth as glass and apparently as
hard and tough. with as little
probability of breaking as piece
of rawhide. The handle is a
beauty and can be seen by any one
calling at the Hardware store
above mentioned. 1t shows what
could be made from the timber in
this country and should induce
any one who wishes to engage in
. sure and profitable thing TO
establish a handle factory near
this magnificent timber. 1t will
not be many years, however. until
the factories viii be seeking just
such a bonanza as. VIM Parish
