A story of Lady Be.con.n.,d.

A story indicating the great affection
and intense admiration which Lady
Beaconstield entertained for her hns-
band is told as follows: On certain
day when Lord Beaconsfield, then Mr..
Disraeli. had to make an important
speech he and his wife drove 10 the
house together. Arrived at their desti-
nation. he alighted from the carriage
and shut the door with bang, He
stayed some minutes talking TO his
wife through the carriage window be
fore he bade her farewell and entered
the house 1t was late at night when
he arrived home, but he found his wife
waiting for him. He noticed however
that her left hand was swathed in
bandaees. On inquiring the cause of
this he learned that when he left her
he had shut her hand in the carriage
door, and. though she suffered terrible
pain. she had allowed no trace of it To
appear on her face, knowing that If
she did her husband would lose that
self composure which is necessary to
the delivery of good speech

DEATHS .
Hall.

After eating a hearty breakfast
Tuesday morning. Niagara W. Hall,
one of Greeley's Oldest and most
highly respected pioneers, lay down
on lounge to rest for few minutes
and died almost instantly from neu-
yaIgia OF the heart. News OF the
death came as shock to the scores
of friends, young and old, who had
enjoyed the acquaintance Of Mr.. Hall.
Mr. Hall came to Greeley with
Union colony in 1870 and had been a
resident of tie town continuously up
to the time of his death. He was
born in Westfeld, N. Y, in 1885.
His boyhood and youth were spent
In the vicinity of his birthplace but
when N. G. Meeker issued his call
for pioneers to establish colony in
Colorado, he with his family joined
the other colonists and arrived on
the site of Greeley In May Of 1870.
In 1880 in company with A. u. Sal
omon, Mr.. Hall opened hardware
business here, and two years later
also started drygoods store. This
business was conducted for some time
by Mr.. Hall and his son-in law, Simon
Jastrowitz MIR. Hall also had bus

Remembered Carriers.

The rural mail carriers are feeling
grateful to the people along their
routes for the Christmas remem-
brances they received. The most
substantial OF these was the rece pit
of a s25 check bv q. h. Kimball Of
route No. l. This was gathered by
number Of friends along the route
He also received several useful ar.i'
cles from individuals. j. G. Teas on
Route also received number OF
articles and little money. He also
still remembers with gratitude the
generous help from his patrons one
year ago when his barn with all its
contents, including his horse, was
burned. People along his route
donated mole than enough to buy
new horse. Palmer Newton of route
n. l was remem 5ered by many indl-
viduals along his route. It is likely
that people along route No. 3, where
1. d. Miller carries the mail. had
forgotten that 1t was Christmas, or
they would probably have outdone
any other route. There was nothing
doing, however.

she Kent Her Word.

A funny story is told concerning
Catherine Of Berain, Welsh woman.
who was known as the mother OF
Wales, because she founded so many
families "She was first married to
John Salisbury Of Lleweni and be-
came the mother Of Sir John Salus-
bury. who was born with two thumbs
to each hand and was noted for his
prodigious strength. At the funeral of
her husband, Sir Richard Clough
gave her his arm. Outside the church
yard stood Maurice Wynn of Gwydir
awaiting decent opportunity OF pro
posing to her. AS she issued from the
gate he did this. Very sorry replied
Catherine. but l have Just accepted
Sir Richard Clough. Should / survive
him, will marry you She was as
good as her word and married yet n

A Queer Tag of war.

In Burma the inhabitants have a
novel form of the sport that elsewhere
is commonly called tug of war. In the
Burmese game there is a rain party
and drought party, which pull one
against the other, the victory of either
party being considered to have imme-
diate results as regards the weather.
The drought party, however. obtains
few victories. for the kind of weather
it represents is commonly not SO much
desired as rain. In the face. therefore.
of strong public opinion the rain
party is nearly always allowed to win,
the palpable "roping" in the popular
notion being generally followed by a
fertiliZing downpour.

Marriage In Al~eri..

The farther south one travels the
earlier one finds boys and girls arrive
at marriageable age. Some time ago a
census was taken in Algeria, and then
1t was found that the youngest married
"man" was twelve years old and that
many lads of thirteen had several
wives. A divorced husband of fifteen
and widower of the same age were
also discovered. AS might be expected
the girls are even more precocious than
the boys, and though twelve is the
usual age, many are married at eleven
There were found to be 1S9 widows of
fifteen and no fewer than 1.176 divorc-
ed wives of the same age.

STAND PAT. MR.. wYLIE.

In few days two members OF the
state board Of equalization are COM
ing to Greeley to eat up the county
assessor Il he does not promise to raise
valuations on farm and olher property
before next years tax levy is made.
While there will of course, be no
personal violence to Mr.. Wylie,
strong pressure will be brought to
bear upon him to come up on valu-
alton. Mr.. Wylie has been doing
the right thing by the people IN cut
ting down valuations. While it will
make no difference in tile amount of
money needed to run the county 1T
makes great deal Of difference in
the amount that goes to the state
fund, and if the state had an annual
income Of billion dollars the legis-
lature would still appropriate twice
that amount for state purposes.
Last year the total valuation in
Weld county was sl4, 459, o35. so. Four
mills on every dollar of this went to
the state, making total amount OF
s57, 1914. This year the valuation
was placed at sl2, 200, ,9s3. AT four
mills this made s4s, sO3. SO, a differ
ence Of 50, ,O35. 81 that was saved to
the farmers by the lower valuation
and higher levy. One Of the prin.
cipal objects in having state board
of equalization is to strike, just
proportion in taxes between corporate
property and individual property.
1t has been the practice, however, of
state boards to take particularly good
care OF the railroads, to see that they
we're not compelled to pay more than
what they we're perfectly willing to
pay, which is usually about ten per
cent OF what their Just share Should
be. The state board says to the rail-
roads, ''You must pay 500, 600 taxes
this year. "We won't pay it"
say the railroad officials. GAN right,
give us a thousand and we will see
the assessors of the counties and have
them raise valuations. This is not
alone true OF the present administra-
tion but was equally so OF that hemo-
semo- demo- pop administration that
was In power before the present ad-
ministration, At that time they
had valuations in Weld county forced
up TO nineteen millions. A reduction
OF one. third in the valuation has
helped out the people considerably
and they will no doubt take kindly
to MI. Wylie If he viii stand pat on
his expressed decision not to raise
valuations one iota next year.
