A bill has been presented calling for
an appropriation of $4,000 for lie es-
ia adjustment of an agricultural college
at Lander. There is little prospeo. for
the passage of this measure, fo~ its

derived from the nations. government

and only about $4,000 is appropriated

MR.. ZANGWIll'S MEMORY.
His Vivid Recollection Of the Neuralgia
Of Miss Agnes Repplier.

Miss Agnes Repplier and Mr.. |. Gang
will have met for the second time.
Miss Repplier knows very well the o n
ditions under which they first met, but
it seems Mr.. Zangwill does not. And
thereby hangs a story which, told in
Miss Repplier's delightful way, is a
choice bit of literary gossip.

reception given in honor of Mr.. Fang.

The author of The Children OF

a worshipful circle of women.
Miss Repplier approached and
someone mentioned her name.

his strident voice said how glad he vas
to see her again. He tool her by both
hands, shook them warmly, beamed up
on her, and said that hi a so glad
to have the pleasure of meeting her
again; he remembered so perfectly how
i'll she was the last time he had met
her; she was such a sufferer from neu,
ralgia and the pain was intense that
night. Was she better now? She re,
piled that she felt very well indeed, and
that she was most happy to see him
again.
Then the buzz began. What a gen

remembering that she had neuralgia

ABOUT GRAY HAIR.
No Longer Regarded with Horror by
Aging Persons.

No Longer Regarded with Horror by
Aging Persons.
Gray hair is no longer regarded with
horror, even by persons who have
reached the age that entities them to
it. Such people were always more apt
to be worried over the change than
persons prematurely gray, who might
be expected to mourn the premature
loss of the characteristic of youth. Now
people need give this sign of advanc-
ing years no thought, for it has been
decreed that gray hair is the fashion.
Ada Rehan was the first woman in
public life, 1t is said, to allow her hair
to turn gray without making the
slightest attempt 10 conceal what is
commonly regarded in a stage career
that the end has come, or is at all
events near. Other actresses have since
accustomed the public to the idea Of
gray-headed h%eroines. Miss Rehan. of
course, always wore a wig on the stage.
but Eleanora Duse plays Camille with
out the least attempt to conceal the
fact that her hair has grown so gray
as to give her scenes with Armand a
slightly maternal suggestion. Signora
Duse has carried naturalness on the
stage further than any other actress
aver did, but its last point must be her
refusal to act such a role with a wig,
and her course in presenting the rather
curious spectacle Of a young lover
driven to such impassioned love-mak-
ing by a very obviously gray-haired
woman. Such cases have undoubtedly
happened. but they are exceptional, SO
Signora Duse is probably entitled to
more credit as the creator of a new
fashion than as IN observer Of theatre
cal prophecies.

X%enophon, tie Greek historian, he died
a natural death, surrounded by his
family and loved Inc esteemed by all
his subjects. Up to the fatal sickness
he enjoyed vigorous health, due to his
temperate life. Another version of his
death is that he was killed while n
gagged in a battle with the Massagetae,
a nation in the north of Asia, the SOL
diers of whom were led by their Queen,
Tomyris. She caused the head Of Cy-
rus to be cut off and plunged into a
leathern bag filled with human blood,
saying, Though l am alive and have
conquered you, yet you have undone
me by taking my son. l will how
ever, satiate you with blood This
speech shows the estimate of the char
acter Of the c%onqueror, whose work is
the same in all ages-the shedding OF
human blood.
The Inscription on His Tomb.
The tomb of Cyrus was at Pasarga-
dae, neal Persepolis. Here, 200 years
later, Alexander came, the next charac-
ter in history to be mmortalized with
the title, The Great" He ordered the
tomb to be opened, expecting to find
great treasures; but a rotten shield,
two Scythian bows and a Persian cine
ter were the only riches. Within the
sepulchre was this inscription: 20
man, whoever thou art and ~whenceso-
aver thou contest, l am Cyrus, the
founder Of the Persian empire; envy
me not the little earth that covers my
body" Thus it will be seen that this
great man, wise, moderate, courageous,
magnanimous, noble and daring, feared,
as men now fear, the envy Of the world
and begged to be left alone with the
small piece OF earth occupied by his re-
mains. Surely, death has no respect
for greatness.

TAXING BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.

1t is a matter of regret that the Off
GERS of this county have taken the
stand they have upon the matter of
taxing building associations, for the
reason that it places those institutions
upon an unfair and unequal basis. The
Denver associations operate in our
midst and are not taxed here or else
where, except upon the actual prop
erty they may own, while the local as
sociation Is compelled to pay upon a
mythical sun which it at no time has
in its treasury.
The local association is in the ma
ture of a savings bank. Members make
monthly deposits OF their savings and
they are at once invested. Deposits in
savings banks are not taxed, nor are
the deposits in other banks. II they
were no objection would be made by
the members of the building associa-
ton to the taxation OF the mythical sur
plus. Our banks have deposits aggre-
eating more than three-quarters of a
million dollars, yet no one thinks the
national banks should be taxed upon
the amount.
Building associations have no money
on hand. 1t is all loaned to borrowers
every month. They owe every cent Of
the money paid into their treasures
and hence any tax placed upon them
Is a a upon a debt, unless the tax Is
levied upon property they must acquire
through the foreclosure of mortgages
or otherwise.
Money borrowed from the local
building associations is at once invest
ed in property in our Must and hence
any tax upon the credit held by the as
sociation is a double tax and operates
unjustly upon the borrower and the
lender, for the reason that 1t is a
charge against both.
The truth about the entire matter
is becoming very plain. If any attempt
whatever is to be made to tax money
and credits, then it should be done in
a manner to act equally upon all the
people of the state. One nan should
rot be taxed and another be permitted
to go free. IN our county the money
and credits returned for taxation are
less than s per cent Of the amount in
existence. If a law were passed by the
legislature making a note not returned
for assessment invalid, more money
and credits would appear upon the as
sessment roll. The objection is urged
that a law of this nature would cause
interest rates to raise to the extent
that moneyed men were compelled to
Pay taxes upon their money loaned. but
granting this to be true, 1t would sure
~ work more equally upon all. In the
same law 1t might be provided that
the mortgage should be permitted to
deduct the amount Of his debt from the
Value of the property mortgaged.
In any event let us have Justice and
equality. Don't compel the poor mans
building association to pay taxes upon
Its debts and let the rich mans bank
20 Scot free on its deposits.

Before he was 80 Cyrus was at the
head OF the Persian troops, and from
that time until he assembled the throne
Of Persia he was engaged in many
wars of conquest, all Of which proved
successful and added wealth, glory,
strength and territory to the empire
which he was founding and over which
he was to rule. His greatest military
achievement was in capturing the rich,
%populous and strongly fortified city of
Babylon. Two hundred years before
Cyrus was born the prophet Isaiah
foretold the fall of Babylon and even
named its conqueror, Cyrus. With a
great army of Modes and Persians Cy-
rus laid siege to the city. but its strong
wall resisted the most furious and per-
,istent assaults. For two years the con-
test continued. Then Cyrus resorted to
one Of the greatest feats Of strategy re-
corded in the history Of warfare. The
Euphrates river flowed through the
city. Cyrus determined to turn the
course of the stream and through the
bed of the channel rush his troops IN
der the walls and into the city. When
the artificial channel had been cut, he
waited until a night when he knew the
Babylonians would be engaged in q
general feast. Then he diverted the
stream his selected soldiers rushed
Into the doomed city through the
drained channel, killed the unsuspect-
ing guards and opened the massive
gates to allow the entire Persian forces
to enter. The Babylonians resisted
desperately but were overpowered and
the city became tributary to the Per-
sian empire. Its King. Belshazzar, was
killed early in the conflict. The hand
writing ON the wall had been portion
