Good and Evil contra.ted.
 The east wind and the west wind were one day talking with each other, and the east wind said to the west wind: Don't you wish you had my power? Why, when I start they hail me by storm signals all along the coast. I can twist off ships mast as easily as a cows hoof cracks an alder. With one sweep of my wing I have strewn the coast from Newfoundland to Key West with parted ship timber. I can lift and have lifted the Atlantic ocean. I am the terror of all invalidism, and to fight me back forests must be cut down for fires, and the mines of conti- nents are called on to feed the fur naces. Under my breath the nations crouch into sepulchers. Don't you wish you had my powerT" said the east wind. The west wind made no answer. but started on It's mission, coming somewhere out of the rosy bowers of the sky, and all the rivers and lakes and seas smiled at its coming. The gardens bloomed, and the orchards rip ened, and the wheatfields turned their silver Into gold, and health clapped its hands, and joy shouted from the hill tops, and the nations lifted their fore heads into the light, and the earth had a doxology for the sky and the sky an anthem for the earth and the warmth and sparkle and the gladness and the foliage and the flowers and the fruits and the beauty and the life were the only answer the west wind made to the insolence of the east winds interroga. ton.
 Kindness to all! Surely 1t ought not to be a difficult grace to cultivate when we see towering above the centuries such an example that one glimpse of It ought to melt and transform all na- tions. Kindness brought our Lord from heaven. Kindness to miscreants. kind ness to prosecutors, kindness to the crippled and the blind and the catalep- tic and the leprous and the dropsical and the demoniacal characterized him all the way and on the cross. kindness ] to the bandits suffering on the side nf

THAT VERDICT.

To attempt to answer the belly
achings of the gang organ In its
defense of the Crawford verdict,
would be like discharging battery
at snipe.
Every one knows, as does the
writer of the purie defense himself,
that his opinion of the law never
did find much weight, notwith>
standing the fact that he pretends
to be lawyer. The cheap flattery
of his claquers, usually buns, has
made him, as writer in the Mesa
county press has recently put 1T,
"swell like an overfed toad" He
brays loud, but the people have
heard his bray before and simply
ignore him.
Elevating his snout from his
slops he attempts to defend a ver~
dict, the most fragrant in its find
ings of any that has ever been
given in the Mesa county courts.
He poses as its defender, when
every decent man and woman cons
dennis it. Hiding behind the cheap
cuff he hands out to the jury, he
stands as the champion OF the
crime committed
There is nothing ever gained,
however, by lambasting an idiot
by crticising cretins, therefore we
shall refrain from attempting to
answer what has teen said. We
shall observe, however, that no
sickly sentimentalities about twelve
good men and true" will abate the
disgust with which every parent
and every being calling himself
man, views that verdict.
The few only who applaud the
The verdict are those who point
their proboscidi in Crawford's dir
cction and turn as naturally to his
smell as does the needle to the
pole.

nursery. The room was filled with
toys OF all sorts. Here were soldiers
and hobby horses and the playthings Of
a boy, and here, again, dolls and doll
houses and the various gew-gaws and
baubles which interest little girls The
young duke who is not credited with
much sentiment, said to his guest that
the room had been the nursery of him
self and his twin sisters, both now
dead. He kept it just as it was, with
the toys scattered over the floor, as the
three children had left them years ago.
He is alone surviving.
No one takes more interest in this
room than his American wife, who al
ways refers to this trait in her hus-
bands character as one of the most
loyable. From those who know the
couple and who have seen them "thih
year, it is learned that the little duch-
ess has absolute control over her hus-
band, and that he obeys her as a child
would an elder person. Her influence
on him has been wonderful, and he
has now settled down to quiet domes-
tic life. Occasionally the old desire to
be bohemian is revived, says the
New York Times, but his wife watch
es him very carefully and makes him
give a good account of himself, which
he never fails to do.

TRUCKMAN AND MOTORMAN.
The Formers Politeness Was Too Much
for the Policeman.

The Formers Politeness Was Too Much
for the Policeman.
In the old days, before the cable and
electric cars, and when horse cars ran
on Broadway, truckmen practically
ruled the street, and did not pay the
slightest heed to remarks from the car
drivers requesting them more or less
(rather more) emphatically to get out
Of the way, until they decided that
they were ready to do so. When the
cable and finally the electric cars came
in the truckmen became little more
careful, for very few encounters with
the cars showed them that their trucks
could be knocked into kindling wood
in a few minutes. Nowadays they get
out of the way fairly expeditiously if
grudgingly, but such an exchange of
amenities as was heard the other day
between truckman and motorman is a
record, says the New York Mail and
Express.
1t was on Duane street, and a heavy
truck was keeping back a car. The mo-
torman changed his bell loudly, and the
driver Of the truck turned around and
said:
'If you will wait until we reach the
next corner shall be very glad to get
out of your way
THANK you very much," answered
the motorman. you are most oblig-
ing"

grind" melons," The melons are
hauled to the thresher, and scooped into
the cylinder, which contains two roll
ers close enough together to crush the
rind, yet not injure the seed. The
crushed mass then slides into a reel,
which is a cylindrical-shaped frame
about twelve feet long, covered with
wire netting, with meshes large enough
to let the seed and pulp through. 1t
slopes to the rear and is constantly
turning. The crushed melons are car
ried halfway up the side, then drop
and gradually work back and fall out
at the lower end, but not before the
seed has been thrown through the
screen. The seed and the pulp run out
at the side into vat built in the
ground; there the mass lies until the
pulp rots, when it is taken to the river
in barrels to be washed.
The washing apparatus is a screen
about twelve feet long, that can be sub
merged. The barrels are emptied into
it, and by stirring the pulp is separated
from the seeds, floats on the top, leav-
ing the clean white seed below. Next
the seeds are spread on canvas racks to
dry; when dry they are delivered to the
wholesale house.
The work of preparing them for mar
ket is only half done. Next comes the
milling, that separates the light seed
and particles of the rind or hulls that
may have remained. After this comes
grading or separating. The seeds are
1oated over a screen, the smaller or Sec
ond-class seeds falling through, the
larger being carried on, and lastly
comes the hand-picking, as shown in
the picture. This is facilitated by sim
pie contrivance, worked by treadle
The seeds are put in hopper and run
over a small shaker in the bottom,
which scatters them on an endless can
vas belt, about one and one-half feet
long and six inches wide, run on two
rollers. The good seeds drop from this
into a basket; the bad and different
varieties are picked out and put into
pockets on both sides of the belt and
run into a sack. The seeds are then
! ready for shipment.
