Innocence Abroad

Judge Hosea Townsend con-
ducts a strenuous court and is very
jealous of Its strenuosity.
A mild eyed resident of Duncan
who had been summoned to serve
as a juror, strolled into the court
the other day and announced his
presence for duty.
The court eyed him for a mo-
ment and then unbosomed the fol-
lowing:

WHAT MAY BE SEEN
IN NORTH DURANGO

The trees in North Durango are
blossoming out gloriously in robes of
pink and white Some of them are
so full of flowers that they look like
mounds of snow held aloft on slender
brown stems. only faint underground
OF green being visible among the lux
uriant blossoms. If the spring prom
iise is fulfilled there will be big
crop ont that way the coming season.
The lawns look like green velvet car
pets. plants are up everywhere. and
some OF the earlier ones are already
in bloom. Many of the houses, too,
have caught the newness Of spring and
are rejoicing in fresh coats of paint
and repairs.
F. A. Schluter's house is well worth
visit. The grounds outside are pret-
tily laid out, and the little plants look
very fresh and dainty in their neat
rows. A bed of pansies is already in
blossom. The convent grounds across
the way are also teeming with spring
beauties.
Brookside Park, a little further on,
is being furnished by Nature for the
use of the summer jewellers. The
trees have put on a beautiful green,
and are beginning to cast faint shad-
ows beneath the warm rays of the
sun. AS yet the birds alone hold car
nival in the pretty place, but ere
long their notes will mingle with the
merry voices of children and the deep
er tones of older people, who seek to
forget. their cares for time amid the
! Joys of Nature Perhaps too, the muir
muring trees will listen to other whis-
pers than their own, for, as the gentle
poet says, In the spring young
mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts
ot love-" and who will say that this Is
not likewise true of the young maid

down upon the pastoral scene below,
and the river. rushing and foaming
along its WY, seem to reflect the
