RIDER WILL BE ELECTED.

To The Herald:
RICO, Colo, March 26.-In a re
cent issue Of The Herald appeared 9
paragraph to the effect that Percy
Rider had been nominated for mayor
Of Rico, but II elected he would moi
be able to serve owing to lack Of
time"
The latter part of the statement Is
an error. Mr.. Rider IL . busy man
but for the good OF Rico and the ad
vancement of the county he was per
suaded to accept the Republican nom
ination for mayor and he Is going tc
be elected by big majority. This
much has already been manifested
While Mr.. Rider is at the head of the
Republican ticket he Is not going to
be elected on account Of his politics
but because he Is the man for the
place. Rico and Dolores county have
been dormant for some time. Mr.
Rider is the one man above all others
who is endeavoring to change this
condition of affairs. He is spending
time and money bringing about a set.
tlement that means more to this town
than any deal since the organization
of the camp That he will be able to
settle all the complications and bring
new life to the entire county few
doubt. For his efforts in this direc.
ton the voters Of Rico are going to
reward him-show him that they have
confidence in him. We want an en-
terprising citizen to have charge OF
affairs during what promises to be a
red letter year. Not only will Rico
advance along business lines, but So
cially this year Is going to be big
one for Rico and we want a mayor
to help entertain the guests that will
come from over the San Juan. Three
distinct societies meet here this year,
the first being the San Juan Odd Eel
lows association, followed by the Ma
sonic association meeting in June and
In turn by the Pioneers of the San
Juan. Rico will want to put her best
foot forward and is going to do 1t by
first electing Mr.. Rider mayor.

was the large hand reached down to clasp
the little one. But memory Is filed with
pleasant outlines and beauties Of the coun.
try, always guided by the fathers hand.
The hand of father came to mean so much,
both of pleasure and comfort, that the
phrase is never, seen or used but sacred
tenderness steals into the heart. AL this
and much more the Heavenly Father is to
His children. We reserve our thoughts OF
the Father too frequently to the days. OF
stress and grief, and forget it Is the Father
who gives the joys and pleasures, too. We
think 90 much Of the pitying Father, and
imagine falsely that His care is confined
to circumstances that call for pity. His

Lack OF Homo Feeling.

More of the evil in the world than we
often think for can be traced back to the
lack of home feeling in childhood days"
SAYS the Watchman, Of Boston. Where
that does not exist, the young man or
woman loses the invaluable consciousness
of the solidarity of the family. They come
to feel that they stand only for them.
selves, that they need not consult the in.
terest OF others, and they miss that happy
restraint OF affection for those with whom
God united them in the closest OF ties. In
spite of all that is said about the misdoings
of the children of devout parents, we be-
lieve that il will be found almost univer-
sally true that the children OF happy, Chris.
tian homes turn out well. They have q
special guard in their hearts against the
seductions of evil. They do not sin against
the home. and the memory OF their own
happy households weaves an ideal Of the
homes they desire to build. which keeps
them brave aud pure and human"

the movement" So in this life we catch
strains of the love of God. We behold It
in the mothers disinterested, self.denying
love; we see il in the lovers glow, and IN
the little child's innocent affection, but
these things ere only hints. The Bible
gives us the best revelation. Beginning
with Genesis the scroll is constantly un'

and kings each tell their story: so, httie
BY little we get flashes out OF HIS great
heart until they all come together as tne
glass; then we begin to understand. ie
was not. however. until the Son OF Right
eousness arose at the advent that there
came the morning light which gives US the
Thought, not Of the administration OF 90,
but Of His heart. What is infinite love!
The purest, sweetest, tenderest thing
known on earth u the overhanging heart
OF a mother over the cradle that contains
her babe that can give nothing back; re-
ceivinc everything and returning nothing
yet the love of the mother Is but crop
in the ocean when compared with the love
of God It is infinite, infinite!
There's Wilderness in Gods mercy
Like the Wilderness Of the sea;
There's kindness in His justice,
Which is more than Liberty.
For the love OF God is broader
Than the measure of mans mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
O-er in England an archdeacon, having
reached almost the end of his life, had his
home so constructed that he could spend
his closing days in sunshine. In the morn,
ing they placed his chair SO that he could
turn his face toward the east and see the
rising sun; at noortime they wheeled bis
chair into the south window, where be
could behold the sun in his meridian, but
in the evening hours they would place
him in the west window, where he could
behold the king of day sinking behind the
distant hills. So let me ask you in the
morning Of your life to keep your faces to
ward the east window, and at noontide
live in the south window. but when even.
ing comes turn your face toward the west
window, so that all your journey through
YOU NAV live in the sunshine, and thus
Keep yourselves in the love OF God.

Insanity In Indfas

That the results attending the use Of IN
toxicatinz drinks are the same all the
world over is shown by some statistics OF
lunacy in India which were published last
year. OF the 1900 lunatics admitted into
asylums during the year 1899, III were
Christians (of whom l@ were Europeans
and Eurasians), $40 Hindus and $50 NO.
hammedans. Bearing in mind the fact that
the Christians and Europeans are less than
one in 100 OF the population, and that the
rest OF the community are mainly total ab.
staincrs, these figures are painfully sisnifi.
can't. Among the chief causes Of insanity
the use Of "ganga," against the sale OF
which temperance friends have. never
ceased to protest, is the most prominent.
