fine lot of prairie chickens. quail and
other edible delicacies. while its stock Of
turkeys. geese, ducks and all domestic
fowl is unsurpassed anywhere. The
marke, is particularly attractive Al this
season and the genial proprietors.
Messrs Euler & Voegtle, would be
pleased to have all citizens Of Boulder
call on them whether in need of anything
in their line or not. That the City market
is adequately stocked with oysters. Gran
berries, pickles and all those delicacies
which so contribute to the rest Of the
Christmas dinner would be to repeat

"a capital story" says Casselrs Maya
zine, relating to good old times is still
told in the fen district of the eastern
counties. AS is well known by many, and
even now remembered by some. bass
viol was often procured to help the choirs
in parish churches. One lovely Sunday
morning in the summer, while the parson
was droning out his drcwsy discourse, and
had about reached the middle, big bull
managed to escape from his pasture and
marched majestically down the road, bel
Lowing defiantly as he came. The parson
who was somewhat deaf, heard the buil
below. but. installing the origin of the
sound, gravelv glanced toward the sing
ers seats and said, in tones of reDroor.
II would thank the musicians not to tune
up during service time; it annoys me very
much AS may well be imagined, the
choir looked greatly Surprised, but said
nothing. Very soon, however, the oelhgeI-
ent bull gave another below, and then
the aggrieved parson became desperately
indignant"

From the whirl of gossip in the fnan-

of the strong tin box belonging to VIII

tom of it, according to the story, there
is a single certificate of stock of the
Standard Oil Company which has not
been touched for years. The certificate
calls for 10000 shares, which at the pres
ent market figure represents a face value
of more than $S,000,0 co., The head of one
of the large trust companies practically
admitted yesterday that the story was
true. Twenty-Five years ago the Belmont
Oil Works, which belonged to Mr.. Elkins,
were absorbed by the Standard Oil Com

formed a part of the price paid
A new institution, called the School

NJ. de Bouhelier. His object is TO unite

has been nominated honorary president or
the new establishment and he writes q
characteristic letter to the secretary, NJ.
lie Bond, giving his views on the new
foundation. In the first place, the novel
list remarks that he does not believe in
aesthetic instruction of any kind, being
convinced that genius grows and develops
by itself As the new college, however,
does mot intend to impose rules and regu-
latohs on it's students or members, but
only to group them together and encour-
age them in an atmosphere of sympathy
and enthusiasm, NJ. lola gives his nearly
