The walt. Of the ostrich.

The dance of the ostrich is one of
those peculiar native customs which
certain fowls develop, without any APP
parent incentive except it may be the
law of heredity. 1t usually occur at
early morning, when the young, strong
birds are let out of their Enclosure, and
is said to be entirely due to awkward
ness and uncertainty. This leads them
to advance and turn in a dervish-like
whirl which is very quaint and fantas-
tic, as they float about assisting their
motions by their outspread wings.
They circle and reverse almost as a
Walter would, and when a large num-
Der Of these strange birds go through
their dancing antics 1t is almost i'm
possible to believe that they have not
been taught the accomplishment by a
dancing master. Their waltz often
ends in disaster, as they break each
others legs, which Is certain death, or
become dizzy and fall down In a de-
moralized heap. The kick Of an ostrich
has been known to destroy life.

ROSWELL'S GROWTH.
Is Interestingly Discussed By q
Commercial Man at the
Grand Central Last
Night.

A commercial man who is stopping
have been travelling for many years
and l have been . close observer OF
the growth of towns, and l notice a
great change in Roswell since my
last visit about six months ago. The
new cement walks give the town a
metropolitan air, but one of the sur
est signs of the changing of a town
into a city is the erection of substan-
tial brick business houses on the side
streets such rs the new bowling alley
in the ear Of the Joyce-PruitssC Co. q
store and the new Hobson-Lowe cold
storage building west of the post
Office. Don't you know a plant of
this kind would be q credit to a town
of $4,000 people. The growth of Ros-
well is not of the mushroom or NOV
ing van kind, but it is solid and sub
stantial and l predict a great future
for Roswell and think 1t will be the
leading town of the territory in a few
years. In business and hustle it is
already ahead of Santa Fe and Albu-
querque, and all you need to head the
list is a few more thousand popula-
ton, which will surely come in the
near future. I never go to a town
that I do not hear Roswell mentioned

The love of many women may be al
great, but Of few is it at once so wise
and so great as that which Charles
Kingsley had for his children. For the
sake of their health he built for them
an outdoor nursery on the highest
point of his rectory house, and there he
would join them when his work was
done, bringing a wild flower, a fern. a
beetle, a lizard, a field mouse or some
thing that would draw forth their
powers of observation and make them
fond Of the works Of Gods hand. "Oh,
daddy, look at this delightful wormr"
one of his guests heard, not without
surprise, his little girl say. Kingsley
was careful not to confuse his children
by a multitude Of small rules. 1T is
difficult enough to keep the Ten Com
mandments," he would say. without
making an eleventh In every direc-
tfon." He had no moods" with his
family. for he cultivated by strict self
discipline, in the midst of worries and
pressing business, a disengaged tenn
per, that always enabled him to enter
into other peoples interests. and es-
pecially into children's playfulness. He
became a light hearted boy in the
presence of his children. When nurs-
cry griefs and broken toys were taken
to his study he was lever too busy to
mend the toy and dry the tears.-Chi-

To wyoming Superintendent and

To Wyoming Superintendent and
Teachers:
The selection of Boston as the place
of meeting of the f~orty-second annual
convention of the National Educa-
tional association, July 6-1O, 1908, is
particularly fortunate, that city being
the greatest educational center in
America and a place of historic inter
est. Every afternoon will be devoted
to tours and excursions to the many
points of pleasure and interest in and
about Boston and to other forms of
entertainment. All railroads have
made a rate of n fare for the occas.
ion (plus $500 membership fee). and
tickets will be good for return until
September l, If deposited with the
joint railway agent at Boston during
the convention.
Teachers ambitious for improve.
ment will find attendance Upon these
sessions of great advantage. The best
summer schools in the country will be
in session in Boston and vicinity. and
will afford unusual opportunities to
visiting teachers to take advantage of
their educational facilities.
All railroad and steamship lines
have offered greatly reduced rates for
numerous side trips to the many noted
ocean and mountain resorts in New
England and vicinity. Full details re,
garding these trips will be given in
the official program bulletin, which
may be had upon application to Mr..
Irwin Shepard, secretary, Winona,
MINI. Those desiring to secure hotel
and private accommodations in ad.
vance should apply by mail to Mr.. Ed,
; ward R. Warren, executive committee,
room 701, 60 State street, Boston,
Mass, who will also furnish any other
information desired by prospective at.
tendants on the Convention.

ALL FROM
The Mistake 10 Made by Many Lara
mic Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys?
A Laramie resident tells you how
this can be done.
James Larson, of 615 First ST., says:
Owing to a strain caused by Overex-
erting myself I suffered a great deal
for a year or two from a pain akin to
rheumatism in my right arm and a
dull aching in my loins. During that
time l tried different remedies but If
I had obtained any marked sue
cess 1 never would have gone to the
Laramie Drug Cos, store for Doan's
Kidney Pills. They quickly. quietly
and very thoroughly created a healthy
action Of the kidneys and when the Sc
cretions from those organs becomes
normal backache ceased. l cannot
speak too nightly of the merits Of this
preparation"

plans Of irrigation work. This was to
have been expected, because each To-
cality naturally desires to receive first
attention. A Washington dispatch
says that the cry has gone up from
thousands of western farmers that the
irrigation funds are being used for the
benefit of land in which certain United
States senators are interested. 1t is
needless to say that there is no evi.
dence in support OF this charge, which
1t Is safe to say is entirely unwarrant-
ed. The prosecution of irrigation
work. there is every reason to believe,
will be carried on under the present
administration impartially and with a
view to the best results, and it is safe
to discredit all reports to the contrary.

ITS RECORD ALL RIGHT.

II the Fifty-seventh congress had
done nothing else. the passage of the
irrigation act a worth the expense
of the session. But we also have the
Panama canal act, the repeal of war
taxes, the killing Of the ~ship-subsidy
bill, the Philippine civil government
act, the Cuban reciprocity treaty and
some good, wholesome antitrust legis-
lation. In fact, there was enacted into
law almost every recommendation
made by President Roosevelt, and he
is to be congratulated Upon the splen-
did record. At the beginning Of the
session many predicted that he would
be at o purposes with congress,
that he was too aggressive to &c along
in q ~peaceable way with the law-mak-
ing body. The contrary was true. He
was ever willing to meet senators and
representatives in conference upon
important measures and was full of
the spirit of compromise and adjust
ment. The result was splendid
achievement.
We of the west are to be congratu-
lated upon what has been given us.
