fipal food Of the inhabitants, con-
sisted Of a larger grain, which had de-
cidedly a better favor. So fine it was,
in fact, that one grain nicely boiled
and served was enough to provide a
dinner Of sufficient size to satisfy the
hunger of a full-grown man or two
children; while the merit Of the people
was such that never had they to weary
themselves nigh to death by toiling
beneath the scorching sun to gather
the rice When it was ripe and ready
for picking, it simply fell gently down
from the stalk on which it grew, rolled
steadily towards the village, and snug
ly ensconced itself in the granaries
that were waiting to receive it, taking
care as it did so that no man might
think himself more favored than an
other by becoming the recipient Of one
scrap more than was necessary for the
consumption Of himself and his fam
lily.
And this delightful way Of living
would have gone on existing, aye,
unto this very day, had not one greedy
person, through desire to crafty her
own avidity, spoilt everything by her
covetous wish to secure more than her
fair share Of these privileges.
In one Of the villages that profted
greatly by the thoughtful behavior Of
the rice, there dwelt, in q small hut. a
widow woman called Chum Paw and
her two daughters, both Of whom were
renowned for their common sense and
loneliness.
One evening, as the three OF them
stood at the Threshold Of their door,
and watched the large, well-ripened
grain come trundling along the street
and hop into the granary that belonged
to them, the eyes of the widow became
small and cunning-looking, and she
tightly pursed her lips together as she
considered the idea that had just en-.
tered into her crafty brain.
"Alack! alackr' she cried. beating
her hands together in despair. How I
grieve when l look upon that small
granary that belongs to u.s.
"What Is amiss with it?' demanded
the eldest daughter. 1T is clean, and
as we'll built as those OF our peighbors
better, indeed, than some"
''That may be" responded her mother.
s'But how fortunate might We consider
ourselves if we possessed building
double the size"
But the two girls shook their heads.
"We have more than enough now,'
they said. LET us be content"
This advice, although very SOUND

he permitted to enjoy these benefits
When the change comes, and come II
will, We shall make fortune if we
possessing more than enough grain fol-
our own use, could sell the surplus to
our less thrifty neighbors. Before the
rice ripens again we will pull down the
little granary that has stood on this
spot for so many generations, and erect
q far larger one in its stead"
And the widow was as good as hel

Rev. A. George who for some time
was in charge of this district represent

short time ago was transferred to
Georgetown, has sent his resignation
to the bishop. The same has been ac-
cepted and in the near future Rev.
George will go to Oregon, where he eX-

Rev. George has many friends in this
city and district who will be sorry to
learn of his departure. During the peri

the church here he had more work to
perform than any other minister in the
state of Colorado. For time he
covered the field of Golden, Idaho
Springs, Empire, Georgetown, Silver
Plume, Central City and Black Hawk.
A short time ago the district was divid-

Georgetown and Silver Plume. Rev.

agreed that every six weeks we should
visit Idaho Springs. She said, and 1
agreed with her, that the memory
would be everlasting in case we did.
And it is just so. We come here and
have jolly good time. We drink hot
soda and amuse ourselves in numerous
ways. Oh, tell you that Idaho
