OUR POLITICAL PLOT.

The large colored vote of Silver
Bow county and the state at large
recognizing the fact as almost an
axiom that they locally are indebted
to no special party for any past SER
vices or obligated to no one for any
past intense fidelity to their inter-
ests, will support in this campaign
regardless of party affiliation those
who will best protect their inter-
ests. Every coteriec of politicians,
every segregated race whose in
fuence is thrown to the victorious
party are looked after when the
smoke of battle has cleared away,
when the cavalry has finished its
charge at the polls, except the negro
voter. Even the menial positions are
denied him and in the distribution
of patronage not one thought mas
been given him, and why? In the po-
litical arena he has been the exemph-
fcation of the axiom, divided we
fall" his vote has been nugatory as
far as their political effect has been
evinced.
Today It is source Of much grau'
fcation TO the New Age to be tne

political organization and in GENET

AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.
He Wanted an raaer but the "ooo
Woman Wouldn't Give Him
Dry Bread.

An artist who was making a sketching
tour through a picturesque region OF Con-
n~ecticut CHANGED one day on a barn so ale
Turing to his eye that he sat down on =
stone wall and went to work at once, relates
an exchange. !,
He soon became conscious that he had
two interested spectators in the persons OF
the farmer and his wife, who had come to
the door OF the house to watch him.
The artist by and by discovered that he
had lost or mislaid his rubber eraser, and,
as he wished to correct a slight error in the
sketch he went up to the door and asked
the farmers wife if he might have a small
piece of dry bread. This as every artist
knows, makes a good eraser.
The farmers wife looked at him with an
expression of pity not unmixed with sur
prise.
DRY bread!" she repeated. "Well, I
guess you won't have to put up with any
dry bread from me, young man. You come
sight into the kitchen with me and Ill
give you a thick slice Of bread with but
ter on it."
Now don't say a word" she continued,
raising her hand to warn off his expostula-
lions. II don't care how you came to this
state, nor anything about ii; all | know is
you're hungry, end that's enough for me.
You shall have a good dinner"

Satisfied His Curiosity.

The English papers tell of a young
Partisan in London, visiting the
Chamber of Horrors at Tussaud's.
Being alone he wa seized with an
impulse to put his neck in the lunette
wherein had rested that of Marie
Antoinette. He lay down, touched a
spring and closed the collar. But how
was he to release himself? If he
touched the wrong spring the fatal
ak might descend. Before long a
crowd of visitors, led by an atten-
dant, came on the scene. The guide
was a bit of a linguist, and saw an
opportunity, with himself as master
of the situation. He at once began
a practical lecture on the guillotine,
interrupting his remarks with little
asides in French to the indignant VIC
tim, asking him to scream louder or
~rithe more agonizingly. "How well
he acts!" exclaimed the gratifed on
lockers. Finally the Partisan was re
leased, and, answering the applauy.
with maledictions, aed.-New Ycra

COLOR IN THE SOUTHWEST.
Those Who Have Seen 1t n inef
No Blue Like the Sky Oh
Arizona.

The desert is gray and white ana
yellow, a background which ln'ehsi,
fes the red shirt of the cowboy anu
the blanket of the Indian n anu
scape of red and ocher also brihss
out all the blue there is IN the SKY
writes Maxfeld Parrish, in Century.
Titan did the same thing; how iona
he was of placing a ~tan-colored hgu'e
against his blue skies, a contrast
which, no doubt, helped to make ms
skies the marvel they are. In lhe
southwest your face is always ll1tea
! up looking into air and space ana
freedom; and day after day the SKY
is clear and blue; it is always with
you, and you see more OF 1t than you
| ever saw before; SO no wonder you
! say there is no blue like the SKY OF
Arizona. !.
But it is not the intense blue OF
New England; it is a pale blue ana
there is a h%eayen-full OF 1t every
day and night. When you see a oare
| red Arizona mountain a long way on,
the blue and violet and purple OF IL
seem like the work of magic. Put
| such a mountain in New England, put
il over against the east in a clear
sunset glow, and it would be more
startling than in Arizona. But we
| have not such mountains here, n
| Arizona has not our atmosphere
capable of giving color to the
dingiest object. However, she has
great local color, and great distances
to change it into many tints. A field
| of alfalfa is the most brilliant OF
greens; the vermillion fy-catcher is
a comet in the sky-he positively
glows like a light, he is so brilliant.
| One has to stand on the rim of the
Grand Canon, look across at the
ether wall, 13 miles away, and watch
il at sunrise or sunset, in order to
see color which can exist nowhere
else. At the beginning or at the END
OF the day the great forms of which
the walls are made cas- their most
wonderful shadows. They are so far
off and there is so much air in be-
tween that the light and shade seem
unreal, like a mirage which you know
will vanish in a little while. The low
sunlight falls on the red towers and
spires, and causes them to glow as
though a light were within them, like
3 great thunderhead at sunset; and
thousands of feet down into the
chasm falls the shadow, a blue from
reamlan q h1ue from which all the
skies of the world were made.

DRESS OF THE coNT1NENTALs.
N~ondescript ~"Uniforms" of the Men
Who Fought for American
Independence.

In "The Prologue of the American
Revolution" il Century, Prof. Justin
H. Smith gives the following descrip-
ton of the uniforms" of the Ameri-
can soldiers at the capture of ST.
Johns, in Montgomery's Canadian
campaign:
"All the besieging troops were on
foot in the best attire they could COM
mand. In the three Connecticut regi-
ments no uniforms We're visible ex-
cept as officers here and there had
chosen to provide themselves, or a pri-
vate wore the dingy old coat that had
done service at Louisburg years be-
fore; but g%raduations of rank were
shown by colored ribbons. Plainly
dressed though they were, the men
looked formidable with their big mus
kets, the barrels four feet long minus
two inches, the bore three-quarters of
an inch in diameter, and the cleaning
bayonets IA inches in length.
Beside them stood the New York
troops. Weeks before, Capt. Living
ston had described the dress Of his
men: Some of them have w~aistcoats.
others none; some trousers, others
none; some hats, others without; some
ragged, others whole;;' and probably
things had not improved much during
the wear and tear of the siege. But
they allhad regimental coats, at least,
distinguishing the regiments by the
color of the facings; and Montgomery
declared that somehow they had ac-
squired the look of regulars. There,
also, was Capt. Lamb with his artillery.
all in blue and buff, and that of a finer
quality than the infantry had, as be-
came an elite corps; and, yonder, a
squad of the Green. Mountain Bows
from Longueuil, dressed out in green
with red facings. and such strapping
fellows that the New York provincial
congress had to order all their coats

the tents of the soldiers and the off
GERS marques; while the vast pines
OF the forest made a somber but magni-

WALTERS PA AS a DRIVER.

My pa lived on a farm when he
Was just a little boy like me;
He used to drive the horses there
Crost railroad tracks and everywhere.
One Sunday pa he said: 81 guess
I'll get a horse to-day, and les
SO buggy-ridin', fur away,
And take CUR lunch, and stay all day
At first ma didn't like to go,
Because the horse might cut up so;
But pa said: "Pshaw, They'll be no harm,
Cause once | lived out on a farm
At last rna she give in, and then
She dressed the baby up, and when
Pa brought the horse and buggy, ma
Said: Now, be careful, won't you, pa
..Oh, pshaw. Don't be afraid" pa said,
And told the horse to go ahead.
The baby was behind with ma,
And 1 set up in front with pa.
The horse went decent till at last
A notify mobile scootin' fast
Come tearin' down the DAD as though
1t was wound up and had to go.
The horse stood up and paved the air,
And something seemed to make pas hair
All bristly, and his: eyes-oh, gee.
But they looked queer, it seemed to me.
His face got white, and then he said
To me, a whisperin': We're dead"'
But we got by at last. and then
The horse behaved himself again.
When we were home ma said she knew
That pa would know just what to do.
She said she knew they'd be no harm,
Cause pa had lived out on a farm.
And pa he held his head up high
And said "of course and that was why
He took us out to ride, because
They'd be no danger where he was.
I wonder if God loves folks who
Pretend they don't do what they do.
And when you're scared enough to die
And don't let on, is that a lie?
