BATTLE OF LEXINGTON
Anniversary Celebrated by Sons and
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton.

The Daughters Of the American Rev
olution and the Sons of the American
Revolution enjoyed a delightful social
reunion at the hospitable home of Mrs.
Jerry GIillay on Saturday evening. The
meeting was commemorative of the
battle Of Lexington, which occurred
April 10. 1775 when
BY the rude bridge that arched thu
flood.
Their flag TO ApriIs breeze unfurled,
Here once the emba.ttled farmers stoOG,
And fired the shot heard round the
world
Mrs. Bessie Y. Cushman for the
daughters gave a very happy address
of welcome. which was responded TO
by Rev DIR. Lewis Halsey for the sons.
Colonel Jerry Millay read Paul Re
vere's Ride" Miss Mary f. Halsey gave
a piano solo. the Forbes orchestra
played several selections. Letters o.
regret were read from Judge Sloan o;
Prescott and Professor Blake OF tie
university of Arizona.
The following by Whittier on that
battle was read by Dr. Halsey in clos
ing:
no maddening thirst for blood had
they
No battle-joy was theirs who set
Against the alien bayonet
Their homespun breasts in that old day.
Their feet had trodden peaceful ways,
They loved not strife, they dreaded
pain;
They saw not, what to US is plain.
That God would make mems wrath his
praise
No seers were they, but simple men;
Its vast results the future hid;
The meaning of the work they did
Was strange and dark and doubtful
then.
Swift as the summons came, they left
The plow mid-furrow, standing still,
The background corn-grist in the mill,
The spade in earth, the axe in cleft.
They went where duty seemed to call;
They scarcely asked the reason why;
They only knew they could but die
And death was not the worst of all.
Of man for man the sacrifice,
Unstained by blood, save theirs, they
gave,
The flowers that blossomed from their
grave
Have sown themselves beneath ali
skies.
Their death-shot shook the feudal
tower,
And shattered slavery's chain as well;
on the sky's dome. as on u bell,
Its echo struck the worlds great hour.
That fateful echo is not dumb;
The nations. listening to its sound,
Wait from century's vantage ground
The holier triumphs yet to come.
The bridal-time of Law and Love.
The gladness of the worlds release.
When. war-sick. at the feet of Peace.
The hawk shall nestle with the dove.
The golden age of brotherhood,
Unknown to other rivalries
Than OF the mild humanities,
And gracious interchange of good.
When closer strand shall lean to strand
Till meet. beneath saluting flags,
The eagle of our mountain crags.
The lion of our Mother-land.

A canny Preacher.

Major Pond was a discreet man, but
he occasionally told one celebrity q
good story at the expense of another.
One Of his favorite stories was Of an
American preacher who preached in
England under his management.
The sermons attracted greater audi
ences than either manager or preacher
had expected, and at length, one night,
as manager and managed sat talking
upon the steps of great London
church after the delivery of success
full sermon in a neighboripg hall. the
dissatisfied preacher struck for higher
wages, and brought such arguments
to bear that the manager felt It neces-
sary to yield.
1t was costly talk for Major Pond.
but he keenly enjoyed the humor of
the situation and took great pleasure
in picturing the great preacher seated
in the moonlight upon the cathedral
step bargaining for higher pay for
preaching the gospel.-New York Sun.

Premiums for the ladies'.

The management of the State Fair
has not forgotten the ladies this year
by any means. A review of the pre-.
MUM list shows quite the reverse to
be true and in fact a great many pre-.
miums have been added to last years
list In the ladies' departments. The
Colorado women have displayed such
an interest In the fair ever since it's
inception and the exhibits made by
them have been such a feature OF the
fair that this year the management
has endeavored to give further encour-
agement and a wider field for their
handiwork. The department Of nee-
die and fancy work has been carefully
revised and enlarged as has also the
pantry stores and cereal foods depart
ment.
The date of the fair this year Is
September 14th to 18th and there will
be reduced rates to Pueblo on all rail-
roads during fair week.

Enjoying Your Employment.

In love with your work is one of
the sOurces-daily sources-of proflta-
BILE originality. Though very few get
living doing just what they want to
do, yet many succeed and improve
their world of work, leaving their sub
ject in better shape than they found
1t. Desire to do something well helps
people succeed though working at
their second or third choice of en-
ployment. A Chicago man with a ma
tional reputation told me he had never
done the work he always wanted to
do. The work he wanted to do may
have been some youthful fancy. He is
a great success in the work he has
done. Interest in your work brightens
your eye, sharpens your thought and
Quickens your ear. We are continually
walking over good things-better
things-profitable opportunities. While
waiting with friends for belated
train placed a coin on the walk to see
how many would walk over it. We
got the value of the coin in entertain
ment, as dozens of people walked over
It. Then we got the value of the coin
again when we saw the joyful face Of
the old lady with basket who found
the coin, but did not see us. Greater
interest, in our work lessons the num-
ber of good things walked over-it
helps us keep awake and thinking
straight. A short-sighted person could
see dime on a high hitching post,
yet be blind to gold eagle on the
ground. Greater interest in our work
lengthens our sight without injuring
its quality. Some Of the things I tell
you In these letters may help you most
though they are the greatest distance
from the subject you are interested in.
You never know what is going to help
you see something new and useful to
you in your work. The art OF picking
up useful ideas in other lines OF work
and twisting them into usefulness in
your work is a splendid art to acquire.

JEWELLERS IN CAVES
THEY ARE YET FOUND IN FRANCE

3, Cavo City wear ours-OoorS and
Windows In the Face Of a, Cliff
Habitations Reached by Narrow
stairways.
We have often heard of the cliff
dwellers and are accustomed to think
of them as prehistoric race, the re-
mains of whose few scattered dwell
inEs are matter of curiosity to tour
lists and a prize to antiquarians. Few
people know that at the present day
there are whole communities in France
whose only habitations are followed in
the rocky hillside and whose entire
business life is carried on in caves.
We had seen in Normandy isolated
instances of people living in habita-
tions half house and half cave. But
they were in far-away towns and viii
lagos, and only the very poorest class
of people lived in them. Our first real
cave city came as a great surprise, for
we had just left Tours, one Of the most
highly civilized cities in. France. We
were riding along the road to Vouvray
when suddenly, at turn near Roche
corbon, this first town of cliff dwellers
burst upon us.
High above us lowered huge mass

foundations hung over the rock upon

doors and windows, narrow stairways
and little belvideres could be seen. hab-

high road hid the immediate fore

opening by which, we could have a

peeping through, we were greeted by
dear little old woman. whose wrinkled.
smiling face was surmounted By

Peculiar Marriage Ceremony.

Among the Kherrias of India the
marriage ceremony is quite elaborate.
After many preliminaries the priest
begins this singular performance:
Taking small portion of the hair of
the bride and groom in turn, from the
center of the forehead, he draws 1t
down to the bridge Of the nose Then,
pouring oil on the top of the head, he
watches it carefully as it trickles
down the portion of hair If the oil
runs straight on to the tip of the
nose their future will be fortunate,
but if it spreads over the forehead or
trickles of on either side of the nose
bad luck is sure to follow. Their for
tunes told, generally to their own sat
isfaction, the essential and irrevoca-
BILE part Of the ceremony takes place
Standing up side by side, but with
faces strictly averted. the bride and
bridegroom mark each others fore
heads with "sindur' (vermilion)
Great care is always taken that neith-
er shall catch a glimpse of the other
during this important process, which
finally makes the couple man and
wife.

NOT A BLOOD RELATION
Death Of Life's Partner Caused a Fine
Distinction

Distinction.
1t was in one of the farming dis
tricts of New England. The young
folks had banded themselves together
for monthly Publications during the
winter and were about to celebrate
the last dance of the season, as we'll
as couple of engagements which mad
resulted from the assemblies. Ben Haw-
kins, the local Paginini, and his Strad-
ivarius had been engaged to lead them
through the mazes of the country
dance, and all were looking forward to
the time of their life"
But death inconsiderately claimed
Mrs. Hawkins for his own on the
afternoon of the eventful party. The
young people gathered as arranged.
but bemoaned the absence of "Ole
Ben," and games were being substi-
tuted for the dancing, when 10! Haw-
kins and his fiddle appeared on the
scene.
Great astonishment and many ques-
tions greeted the old man, but he
calmly slipped his fiddle out of its
green bag and as he meditatively
rubbed the resin on the bow said:
wall, yes, Maria's gone; died this
afternoon. but l reckon 'taint no sin
for me to play for you tonight, seein'

For the Individual
Private Time Possibilities.

Thirty minutes a week for thirty
years is sufficient time for any person
to develop a useful side-line subject
to an altitude requiring international
attention.
Private time study requires great
self-control. Generally there is no
time for it or too much time spent on
it. Zeal for short time > easier than
persistency and good judgment for
decades.
One of the most successful lawyers
in the United States told me that a
night school was of great use to him.
He attended class after he had been
admitted to the bar, to overcome one
Of his deficiencies.
Here are a few items from my let
ter to young people on ten minutes a
day for ten years:
A minute is something like dime.
1t can be used usefully or abused
shamefully.
1t can be invested in way to bring
good interest in a money-muscle-mind
manner.
1t is fortunate for young people to
voluntarily see this manner.
1t is expensive experience to have
to learn it involuntarily.
Take a note book costing a dime
more or less, and spend ten minutes
with it day, three hundred days a
year.
In ten years that means fifty days
of ten hours each.
IT, at the end of ten years, you can
say the five hundred hours have in
creased your ability from two to TWEEN
ty-five per cent you will not regret
your efforts.
You can do this, and il you do 1t
you are sure to gain by it.
Every day add a sentence or para
graph you think worth saving.
Watch for something to write or
paste in your book; have your eyes.
ears and mind ever ready to catch
good hints in your work and recrea-
ton, your reading and conversation.
Every day re-read some one para
graph or sentence and try to twist it
into fresh shape to help you do the
best you can to-day, and, If possible,
better tomorrow.
Life is worth living when we know
how to live and live as well as we
know how.

How Eoreknowledse Might Help.

When boy had pet Brahma pull
let, plump and good looking, of two or
three pounds weight One day I en-
tered the hen park and on coming out
could not close the gate. There was
rubbery-spring of resistance as
the gate came within a foot of the
post. AS opened the gate to in
vestigate, my pet pullet ran out yard
and dropped dead. She had run in be-
tween the gate and the building under
the lower hinge. That lesson in ac-
curacy regarding gates and chickens
gave my affections hard pull. If
my pet had been alive and my fathers
hens all dead l would have suffered
less. That was expensive experience
i never killed another chicken by
that gate-it made me think, look,
know more and it increased my accur-
acy. Why could not have learned by
observation what / learned by expen-
sive experience? could have done SO
had I had my observation trained and
have done so many times since that
event. An old German friend told
me that we stopped growing when we
stopped making mistakes, and l must
be growing every day because l am
making mistakes right along. but
there are many kinds OF mistakes and
l want to grow by making those which
do not kill pet pullets" II possible
A Pennsylvania girl told me she did
not think 1t necessary to be poor In
order to be happy and I am trying to
see If we cannot learn by the valua
BILE experiences of others and lessen
the necessity Of errors and mistakes
on cur part. We should become more
accurate and grow faster than we dc
and good reading is one way to do 1t.
