MORE LITTLE LOCAL,

Leroy r. Brooks, associate editor
OF the Frontier, has been In Greeley
the past week collecting data for a
sketch Of the City. The Frontier Is
an illustrated monthly published In
Denver and Its work is OF the highest
order, both literary and artistic.
There Is special providence for
children, 1t is said, and there is not
parent hut what can confirm this
by numerous proofs. A recent Incl
dent contirmatory OF the saying has
come to the knowledge Of the Tri-
bune: One day last week during the
absence of the stableman, Captain
Harper attended to the wants of his
horses, but in throwing down straw
for bedding he got much more than
was needed and left what was not
used where it lay, directly under the
opening to the loft. The next nom.
ing Mr.. and Mrs. McCutcheon' 8
children were playing In the loft.
and Raplh, the year-old boy, fell
through the opening distance Of
twelve feet onto the straw with a
thump that tended to disarrange his
stomach for a short time. The
youngster fell close to the heels Of a
gentle horse and with legs and arms
In air he yelled Justify, but was soon
rescued from his perilous position.
A few hours sleep restored him to
normal health and activity, but the
parents and grandparents are yet
thanking Providence for the child IS
miraculous escape from death Or
manning.

SAVED HIS FINGER.
tns Faithful Brnhmnn Felt, How
ever, That lie Had Lost Caste.

one day Brahman accidentally
touched some unclean object with his
little iiHger. The Brahman thought that
now, his little finger having become un-
clean any substance which 1t would
touch would be also rendered unclean
and thus make him an unclean man.
Seems no other way to get out of the
scrape lie resolved to get the offending
member amputated Forthwith he went
to carpenter and explained to him
that unless the finger was cut off he
tine Brahmam was unable to take food.
The carpenter tried to dissuade the
devotee and urged that an application
OF some drops of water from the sa-
cred river Gunga would make the fin
ger once more holy, but the Brahman
persisted. He said that the finger was
of no use to him any longer and that
he would not rest until it was severed.
AS final recourse the carpenter re-
solved TO play his awkward customer n
trick. He told the Brahman to put his
finger on an anvil and to look to the
sky While the wound was inflicted.
The Brahman did so. The carpenter
took up hatchet and gave the finger
smart blow with the back of it. This
elicited a cry OF pain from the pa
tient who at once put the finger in his
mouth 10 allay the agony. The carpen-
ter, laughing, explained to the Brah-
man that the blow had missed and the
little finger was still entire; and, worst
Of all, the Brahman had defiled himself
by putting the finger into his mouth.
The obliging operator, moreover. offer
ed to perform the operation once more,
but the Brahman had had enough pain
for the nonce and declined with thanks.

Editor Tribune:
Since you have practically given
your endorsement to Sabbath desc
Grafton by the article published in
last weeks issue, will you please give
space to the following:
At the worlds fair In Paris. Prof
Haegler of Basle received hygeniC
medal for the arguments showing
that Sabbtah rest is necessary to the
longest and strongest life. DR.. Crofts
in an article in the Christian En-
deavor World says: 1.-The conclusions
of MI. Haegler, the greatest special
It's on the relation OF the Sabbath to
health, are Tor substance of doctrine,
those of the whole medical profession,
which hundreds of doctors have ex-
pressed with less particularly. Or.
Crofts says that Prof. Hodge Of Clark
university has demonstrated in his
biological laboratory that the nerve
cells are not fully restored from a
days wear by nights rest, and
that they need to be fully restored
every few days and that such perfect
restoration cannot be accomplished
with less than thirty to thirty-six
hours of continuous rest, which
means rest day added to the ad-
joining two nights, rest sucn as
the Sabbath Affords"
The necessity of the Sabbath for
the preservation OF nervals is as
great as for the conservation Of phys
ical energy. France furnishes the
proof In the revolution which fol-
lowed the abrogation of the Lords
day and substituting therefor one
day In ten. There they worshipped
a prostitute as the goddess of liberty.
Are we coming to this?

In the east hangman's trade Is very

to the executioner, who has the privi-
lege of erecting the scafiold wherever
he pleAses, and at sunrise the next
morning he begins his work. Accom-
panied by his assistants. who guard
the condemned man and carry material
for the scaffold, he goes to some promi-
nent place in front of large dwelling
and there proceeds to erect the scaffold.
large dwelling rushes out and implores
him to go somewhere else.
81 don't want to have a man hanged
in front of my house." he explains.
"All right says the hangman. I'm
willing to go elsewhere provided you
pay me for my trouble in coming here
and for the time which I have spent
at the job"
Though the sum which he names is
pretty large, the owner Of the large
dwelling pays 1t without word,
whereupon the hangman goes to an
other large dwelling. where similar
scene is enacted.
In this way several hours are spent
by the executioner in extorting money
from all the magnates in the neighbor-
hood. When his purse is at last well
filed he erects the scaffold in some
dark wood, and soon the unforsunate

Sanford.JoneS,

Yesterday noon a quiet wedding
took place at the home of Mrs. Annie
Sommers, the Rev. R. j, Hunter,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. uniting John Edwin Jones
and Winifred Euola Sanford by the
holy bonds of wedlock.
The bride is one of Greeley's best
known young ladies aud during a
long residence with uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. Sommers, she has
grown to be general favorite with
all who know her, through her kind
ness and gracious demeanor.
The vIoom was born In Carnaroon,
Wales, and from boyhood followed
the seas, rising by diligence and
knowledge from ships apprentice to
master. For fifteen years he sailed
from port to port, during which time
he circled the globe six times, but In
the later days he began to long for
his people. Having sisters and other
kin In Colorado, in 1895 he bade
Father Neptune goodbye and came
to this state. In 1890 he drifted to
Greeley and here he has been anch-
ored and here he decided to make his
home.
After the wedding the guests sat
down to an elaborate dinner and a
couple VI hours was passed by all
present in congratulations; then the
groom and bride boarded the south
bound train for Denver, intending to
spend the honeymoon in the capital
city and at other points in the state.
May their future be as placid as a
summer sea Is the wish OF all friends.

benefits to be derived, demands that n
reasonable appropriation be made hnd
that the seal OF the statcs approval
ana confidence DO put upon the noble
enterprise.
AS for tho plea of poverty. that will
never do. Virginia is a rloh State md
ID inviting outsiders to como In and In
a bad advertisement indeed for her to
shy to tho world that she was too poor
to appropriate 100000 for great ma
t!onh exposition within her borders.
What would the outside world think Of
such niggsLrdliness7 It is true that by
reason OF the constitutional limit to the
rate Of taxation, the State must DO ocon-
omical for q few years, until tho tax
rate can be raised: but IL the General
Assembly will vote the appropriation
tho money will DO Forthcoming at the
proper time. and none Of the departments
of government will suffer, A rich State
like Virginia will surely find some means
OF raising money enough to pay tho
interest on the public debt and meet
the expenses OF government.
And lot us say just here that those
who sacrifice their State bonds through
any sort Of fear that tho interest will
not be promptly met will do very fool
ish thing. Virginia bonds are quite as
sure to pay their interest as bonds of
the United States.
But this by tho way. We are now
pleading with the General Assembly to
do Its duty by the jamestown Exposition
Company. The members will never have
occasion to regret it. II they vote the
appropriation: they will regret 1t the
rest Of their lives If they fall to do
