On the Union Pacific railroad, be.
tween Denver and Cheyenne. is situat.
ed town called Greeley. Both the city
and farming communities furnish
sights and objects OF unique and pecul-
lar interest.
As one enters the town today his at
tention Is almost sure to be called to
the fact that no saloons are to be found
as in other Colorado towns. and the
question arises At once, how does this
happen to be the case? The answer is
to be found In the fact that into the
deed Of The Union Colony the first cor
poration OF the place, was inserted q
provision known as 1.-THE liquor clause. I"
1t reads as follows: "Also, the further
consideration that 1t is expressly agreed
between the parties hereto that intoxi.
eating liquors shall never be manufac.
tured, sold or given away in any place
OF public resort az a beverage on said
premises, and that If anyone of these
considerations shall be broken or Yiolat-
cd this conveyance and every thing here.
in contained shall be null and void"
The far.seeing wisdom of this provis.
ion is to be seen by the results on every
hand. This town Of 5000 inhabitants
has many handsome and beautiful resi-
dences. 1t Is al unusually clean place.
The public school and high school build.
ings are commodious in size and neat in
Tho onhnnl n &c
large and teachers are paid high salaries.
1t is frequently the case that the graded
teachers receive $40 and $50 per month.
Instead of saloons and other gilded
places Of vice occupying the best bust
ness corners of Main street, as in most
other Colorado cities. those In Greeley
are taken up by banks, grocery or dry
goods stores. ALI the leading church de-
nominations have spacious church
buildings, and these are we'll attended.
On Sunday all stores, almost without
exception, are closed. People 20 to

AFTER Your Boy"
One Of the delegates to state conyen-
ton Of Christian Endeavorers, young
business man, dressed in n natty rough.
and-ready suit, every movement alert
and eager and telling Of bottled energy
within, came suddenly upon red-faced
citizen who evidently had been patron.
izing the hotel bar. Buttonhollng the
delegate trifle unceremoniously. the
latter said:
What are you fellows trying to do
down at the meetings? You are hot on
temperance, see by the papers. DO
you think you could make temperance
man Of me?"
NO" replied the delegate, looking
him over from head to foot with a keen
glance, I'VE evidently couldn't do much
with you, but we are after your boy
AT this unexpected retort the man
dropped his jocular tone and said seri-
ously, "Well, L guess you have got the
right OF it there. If somebody had been
after me when was boy 1 should be
. better man tOday.''

The old Dam. schoo,.

It Is amusing in these school board
days to come upon "reminiscences Of the
old danes schools. In my mothers lit
tie country parish the kindly old dame
who taught the village children to read
did not trouble herself much about the
long words, says a writer in Good
Words. When a word came that nei-
ther she nor her pupils could quite
master, she would say: Call it Nebu-
chadnezzar n pass on" But needle
work was well taught in those days.
One of the most beautiful workers I
knew told me how, at the DANES
school, to which she went as a child,
she was set to hem round the crown Of
a baby's cap. busy mothers may, in
deed, be thankful that these small arti-
cles Of apparel are now obsolete.) To
do this perfectly is no easy matter.
Time after time the narrow hem, which
refused to come even, was cut off, till
at last the little circle was about the
size of a penny; but the result Of that
teaching was admirable.

The Cabinet Not Quite Easy.

While the relate MS between the pres
ident and members Of his cabinet do
not appear to be the least bit strained,
it is not difficult to appreciate the fact
that the same conditions do not exist
in the cabinet room 10Y which pre-
vailed during the Mckinley administra-
ton. There is no lack of friendly feel
ing or party loyalty, but there seems
to be an inieinable something in the
actions OF the members of the cabinet
which indicates an uneasiness, an un-
rest or an overcautiousness, which was
not SO p~erceptible six months ago. I'm
der their former chief, members of the
cabinet would enter the White House
on cabinet days laughing and chatting
together in the most fre~e-and-easy
manner. Now they approach the cabi-
net table solemn and deliberate, sug-
costing a group of previously-merry
school boys trying to make a dignifed
impression on a new master.-Corre-

A Little More Coal in england

Coal, good. household coal,' seems
to have been found in Kent, at last. A
core" brought up from the boring in
Shakespeare Cliff showed large frag-
ments of good, bright bituminous
household COAL" and on another boring
a second seam has been discovered. The
experts are said to be delighted, and to
believe that they have struck the de-
post which runs down through Wales,
under the channel, ccross France and
into Westphalia. The pecuniary in
terests involved in such find are so
large that we always distrust first &C.
counts, but in this instance the details
given read true, and, Of course IT they
are true, and if the expense of working
under the sea proves manageable, the
event is of national Importance. Coal
on the spot is the grand need of the
South, and every addition to u supply
p%ostpones the day when manufacturers
must either put out their fires or rely
exclusively upon electricity obtained
from the river gorges, or, possibly, from
the use of the tides, as a source of pow
er.-Spectator.

A Blacksmith's Story.

Goodland, Kans.. Dec. 23.-N. e. AL
bertson, a local blacksmith, had almost
decided to give III his shop altogether
on account of rheumatism, which had
crippled him so hat at times he could
not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep at night. He
had suffered for years, but was gradu-
ally getting worse, till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard of some won
derful cures Of rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and thought he would try
for a cure once liore.
They cured him completely, and he
has not a trace of rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up, n MI.
Albertson may be seen there any day
hard at work as if nothing had ever
allied him.

Originated About the Beginning of
the Thirteenth Century
AT the beginning of the thirteenth
century it occurred to some n to pre-
serve the LIKENESS Of his departed
friend as we'll as the symbols Of his
rank and station. So efigies were in
troduced upon the surface of the SLABS,
and were carved fiat; but ere fifty
years had passed away the art of the
sculptor produced magnificent monu-
mental effigies. knights and mobiles he
clad in armor and abbots bless the
spectators with their uplifted right
hands; judges lie in their official garb;
and merchants with emblems Of their
trade. At their feet lie animals, usual
ly having some heraldic connection
with the deceased, or symbolical of his
work; e. g., a dragon is trodden down
beneath the feet of a bishop, signifying
the defeat of sin as the result of his
ministry. The heads of effigies usually
rest on cushions, which are sometimes
supported by two angels.-Gentleman's
