The people of Laramie have a sacred
duty to perform in connection with
the University of Wyoming. They are
charged with the responsibility of set
ting al example for the students who
come here from over the state. 1t is
also incumbent upon them to do ev-
erything in their power to see that the
laws OF the city are strictly enforced,
to the end that minors may not be
needlessly beguiled from the path of
rectitude. Let each citizen constitute
himself a committee of one to stand up
for the university and its students In
a measure the boys and girls sent here
are our wards and the trust imposed
in us must not be betrayed.

Bird WALKS FOR PLEASURE.
Birds Among the Eastern Hills studied
by Parties.

Birds Among the Eastern Hills studied
by Parties.
One of the latest summer diversions
among those who spend their outings
in the hills and country places of New
England is blrd-walks. Parties of two,
three, or perhaps a dozen. start out at
4 or 8 O'Clock in the mo! ning, equipped
with all the essentials for Intelligent
b ird-study. Our woods are full of
feathered songsters, whose everyday
life, from da wn to sunset, is as full of
interesting events to many as are the
lives Of members OF the more conspicu-
GUS human family. Often these walks
are really classes, conducted by able
Instructors in the branch of natural
history taken up in this way. What Is
learned OF bird-lore, and the exhilarat-
Ing effect of such early morning out
lngs, are ample return for the small
preparation made. A good pair of
for the bird-walker. Often breakfast
in the form Of lunch is taken along by
a party. and eaten, picnic-fashion, at
S or 7 in some pretty. dewy place, with
the birds chipping and futtering all
around. Many of us are quite familiar
dences of birds, but only the bird
walkers a pretend to know much
about the good-mornings of our happy
little brothers of the alr.-Philadelphia
Times.

OF all the uncanny creatures in the
animal kingdom the n whose ac-
quaintance is hardest to make is the
blue whale, the largest of all the
whales, and, indeed, one of the most
colossal animals, living OF extinct,
known to science. You will look In
vain for him in geological collections.
in menageries, or even in museums. A
brute 80 feet in length and weighing
Just as many tons does not lend itself
to preservation or surfing, and the few
skeletons of him which do exist give
one no idea Of what he is like. The
blue whale is hunted by the Norwe-
gians chiefly for the sake of his oil,
and is of considerable value, a full
grown specimen being worth from
$3.50 to $1,000.

Advice About Writing Stories.

In a letter about story-writing, sent
by Louisa M. Alcott to a young au-
thor in 1874. and now published In The
Ladies' Home Journal. she advises him
to introduce his characters at once, as
that instantly interests readers, and
says of her own early work: Instead
of describing places or people plunged
into the heart Of my story and opened
it with a conversation, letting the ac-
tors unfold the plot and themselves
dramatically. From that time my
goods sold well, and this was the Sc.
cret in a great measure. Learning to
write short is another good thing: and
the art Of taking a very simple event
or character Of the comic and pathetic
that exists in what we call human ma
ture. Put your own experience into
your tales and they can't fail to be
good"

ers That Are Death to Files.

A bunch of beautiful flowers was
brought to the Massilon station of the
Cleveland. Lorain and Wheeling Rail-
way Company by a trainman. The
flowers were placed in water in Yard
master Halls office, then closed for the
night. The next morning Mr.. Hall no.
ticed that the room. usually alive with
flies, was absolutely free from them.
Hundreds lay dead on the table under
the bouquet. When the door and
windows were opened outside flies
fluttered in and were Immediately at
tracted to the flowers by their frag-
rance. In every case it was noticed
that with its first taste of the lowers
sweetness the fly fell over dead. Train
men brought in more Of the flowers,
and zach bunch reaped a new harvest
of death. Citizens became interested
and applied to the trainmen for bou-
quets. Railway men say screens for
the doors and windows are unneces-
sary with the flowers in the room.
The flower Is shaped like a lilac, and
is almost as fragrant, though the scent
is by no means similar. 1t Is OF a pale
yellow color and grows upon a tall
stalk. 1t seems to flourish in a soil
containing much sand and gravel. In
the gravel pit south of the city, where
1t was found by the railway men, it
abounds. Columbus Evening Dis

Near the southern edge of Putnam
county Indiana, is a walnut log for
which $500 was recently refused. 1t
was found b. a man who was making
an excavation in the bank of a creek,
and who, realizing partially the value
of his discovery, went to the owner of
the land and secured possession of the
p.ece Of timber for SIS. He dug 1t out
of the sand and clay, and a lumber
man who examined it offered the price
first mentioned. The owner asked
$1,000. The timber has been covered

HE WENT UP INTO THE NOUN
TAlNS.

We have faith in Theodore Roose-
welt and believe that he will do the
right thing at the right time. His 60
ing up into the mountains to gather
strength from nature in her sublime
moods, was indeed a happy thought.
However, we have read of the proph-
cts of old doing the same thing, and as
the storm beat about them rest came
to their perturbed spirits. Nothing is
more quieting to the depressed or
stormy soul than a tempest in the
solemn hills. Its soothing influence
has often been sought in trying hours
by men who are prone to seek rest
and strength in natures solitude,
There is something in the mightiness
of a storm in the mountains that ap
peals to the highest within us. and
lifts one above the sadness and sor
row of this world. Such relief did
Theodore Roosevelt seek, as a neces
sity, and when the word came sum
moning him to take up the burden Of
chief ruler of the greatest nation or
earth. he straightway girded on his ar
NOR of purpose and resolution. ant
through the long starless hours o
night he rode to meet the fate which
destiny seems to have reserved fol
him.

life. 1t is now before him. He is eli
circled by a world of cares, response
bilities and duties that would Stage
most men. But he is not dazed. HI
sees his way clearly, just as he dit

of ghosts must be false. No martyr
