I Corinthians, l3 Chapter.
Though ! with angels tongues should
speak
And be most lowly. just and meek,
And Have such faith that could make
The; hpgest mountains move and quake;
AndhaVe not charity, alas!
m7become as sounding brass. Stz {
Though I in mysteries be learned,
And give my body to be burned,
And all my goods to feed the poors
And trials patiently endure,
And not in charity abound
am but as cymbal's sound.
Charity suffereth lone-is kind X
Of teachable and humble mind
Vaunts not itself-it envieth not lzSt
Behaveth seemi:-,loubeth naught-
Is not puffed up-seeks not her own
Not'soon provoked-ofendeth none -.
Beareth,, believeth. hopeth all, ~. g.
Endureth, and shall never fall;
knowledge may vanish, tongues may cease,
But charity shall still increase ~,
And of faith, hope and charity
Ever be the greatest OF the three.

It is said of certain railway engineer
that his duties call him at verv early
hours o'clock in the morning. He is .
Christian, and. knowing full veil that soul
life must utterly nerish without. reading

ton, he rises at 2 O'Clock in the morning.
More than that. led by the. Holy. Spirit,

That God is your God. He thinks. He

weighs in His heart every. cross before
He lays it upon your shoulder. i'he

The reason trouble is SO troub.esome:. is
that we seldom put God in the present

past and dwell upon the wonders He

transpose Hi. into the remote future
and dream of the glories which shal! he

Judge Stevens Quick Work

When court convened this morning.
Judge Stevens conducted work with a
rapidity which was astonishing. as
sisted by the district attorneys office.
In the case of the people VS.. Ralph
Alderman. charged with having
stolen the horse of Marshall jefferson
Watson. he was brought before the
| court and withdrew his plea of not
guilty and substituted a plea of guilty
instead. Three or four illnesses to
prove were interrogated in quick sue
cession. among them being James
Hinchey, of Pinon, Alden Leonard
and Matt Caste. He was taken back
to Jail at once after entering his plea
and hearing of the witnes, ,es and his
case is disposed, save sentencing him.
which will occur later in the term of
court.
In the case OF the people VS.. J. ].
Russell. with several aliases. who
had somewhat meteoric career in this
county a month or so ago, having
been charged and held on the count of
being confidence man of general rep
utation in that line. Withdrew his
plea and entered the plea of guilty.
Also in the case of the state VS..
George Bryan. charged with forging
and uttering checks, the plea was also
changed and he plead guilty to the
charges. As a matter of form, later
on the court will hear testimony in
these two last cases and then sentence
them. They were taken back to Jail
to await their sentences by Judge
Stevens.

LaFair Case in Court.

A noted trial is now on in the
courts. which will doubtless attract a
great deal of attention. 1t is case
in which murder is charged in the
first degree.
The case is the people VS.. William
LaFair, charged with the murder of
e. L. Massey in the Unaweep country
on the morning of Saturday. Septem-
ber 5th. 1903.
Both men were prominent cattle
men and there had been disputes be-
tween them previous to the day of
the killing of Massey. over water for
irrigation purposes. Massey at the
time of the killing was talking to
Charles W. Bowman. of this oitv, he
standing in the road and Bowman in
their pasturage. when LaFair rode up
it is charged and shot Massey.
The trial promises to be quite sen-
sational. On the side of the prosecu-
tion is arrayed District Attorney Nc
Mullin and his assistant. Guy "
Sternberg, assisted by James S. Carn-
ahan and Judge yanHoorebeks. of the
firm of Carnahan and vanHoorebeke
and against them and for the defend
ant LaFair. are Samuel N Wheeler
and Judge o. f. Caswell. ~
In the Denver Post there have been
sensational charges made against La
Fair by some one and these with the
prominence of the two men and their
connections. will make noteworthy

The Downing Case.

The case of the state VS.. w. 7.
Downing charged with an attempt
upon the life of District ATTORNEY
Samuel G. McMullin. was given to
the jury about 9:45 o clock last night
The case has elected large amount
of interest on account of the promi-
nence of District Attorney McMul-
lin and because of the circumstances
leading up to the attack upon Mr..
McMullin.
The arguments in the case began at
a late hour yesterday afternoon. They
were participated in by Henry W.
Ross of this city and Samuel d.
Crump of Cripple Greek Tor the pros
ecution and j. Reed Orowell. for the
defendant The arguments were bril-
liant til, oughout. Mr.. Ross and Mr..
Crump made very logical arguments
for the state and they were followed
in a lengthy and spectacular argument
by Mr.. Crowell for the defendent.
The court room has been crowded
during the entire time of this trial by
friends of both sides in the case. The
witnesses upon both sides. and espec-
tally for the defense gave testimony
which satisfied the appetites of the
curious for something new and vivid.
They jury remained out all night
and at this writing 8 80 O'Clock this
morning are still out considering the
case

Fruit Sold for More Than Farm

What can man do on Mesa coun-
ty ranch has been answered many a
time, but here is a fact that is con-
yincing proof that fruit growing in
Mesa county pays most literally those
who engage in it. r
Some little time ago f. f. Seeley
was very desirous of selling his ranch
and removing to California. He fin
ally did sell it to some eastern parties
for the sum of So. 900. which was con-
sidered large price for the fruit
ranch. The seller was very we'll sat
isfied and the purchaser had yet to
prove that he had obtained something
valuable for the expenditure of this
considerable amount of money for a
ranch of small acreage
A few days ago the parties purchas-
ing the ranch sold their apple crop to
an eastern buyer in bulk for the large
sum of Sc, 500 receiving 81 900 more
for the apple crop alone. than what
was paid for the entire ranch. The
ranch raises large quantities of other
fruits and vegetables. forage. etc. If
this is not making money at a large
percentage on the purchase price, we
don't know what it is. There are
splendid returns awaiting every fruit
grower in the valley who Intelligent
ly farms his land and works for good
fruit crops. The apnle crop is some-
things enormous in this valley the
present year and the fruit growers
who have large quantities of apples
for sale have no trouble whatever in
obtaining an excellent price.

Souvenirs Went Fast.

There was continual stream of
ladies passing The Sentinel Office yes
terday. bound for the new delicatessen
establishment of Kersburg and Hertz,
finer store of its kind than is locat-
ed in the state, Denver not excepted.
Souvenirs were given away and sinner
and saint held ON to the little brown
jugs. as if they contained something
awfully good and dainty. which they
no doubt found that they did. when
they got home and sampled their con-
tents. The store was crowded all the
afternoon and the expressions of de-
light given out by the ladies were no
doubt sufficient compensation to Kers-
berg and Hertz for the expenditure of
time in preparing and fitting up the
handsome place of business.

STORE BURNED.

At about nine o'clock Monday
night, the Goth inst, the store of
Messrs. A. i. Durand & Co., about
one mile from town, was complete
ly destroyed by fire.
The cause of the fire is some
what mysterious. The store was
closed and all the lamps put out.
Previous to the discovery of the
fire an explosion was heard, some
thinking it was the discharge of a
gun, but soon after the store was
on fire, and the fire made such ra-
pid headway that the supposition
is that the explosion spread the
fire all over the store. When help
came it was too late the entire
building was a mass of fire. Not.
hing could be saved from the bull.
ding.
The loss in building and mer.
chandise is estimated $500, with
insurance amounting to 81 800.

A Model in Politics.

We excerpt the following from
the Baton Rouge Advocate:
"ln some of the parishes full
tickets for parochial and district
officers are already announced, with
many months yet to spare before
there will be real action. In Lii
vingstoh, candidates have not been
slow to move. Mr.. B. Duke, one
of the candidates for the lower
house in that parish announces
his candidacy in column and q
half article. giving his views on
all subjects in sight, including his
religious views. He gives q mo-
del that scheming politicians
might do well to follow in future.
He starts out with two powerful
arguments in behalf of his candi-
| dacy, as follows:
"lst. l believe in God the Fa-
ther, Christ the son and the Holy
Ghost.
End. / believe after death we
shall live and we shall then render
! an account of the deeds done in
this body, whether they are good
i or evil.
| He wants a constitutional con-
vention, being as he says not plea
sed with the constitution of 1879
1 and much less so with that of 1898.
He says the Bill in the new con-
/ stitution SHOULD be in plain Eng
| lish, the Indian, the Chinaman,
the negro or any other nationality
not in accord with the fundamen-
tai principles of civil government
|should be debarred from holding
Office or exercising suffrage. And
if that COW boy when dame for
tune placed in the executive chair
tries to force social equality upon
us we will send those night prowl-
ling chicken roost colored gentry
up there and those fanatics can
have all the social equality they
choose"
Here is food for thought suffi-
cient for the three summer months.
Mr.. Duke sets the pace for his
competitors in another matter as
follows:
81 favor a law that will give a
stated salary without additional
expense for secretaries, ushers or
walters.
IL favor large pro rata for ru-
raj school funds.
II favor government control OF
tariffs on ell public utilities.
Il favor that all steamers, rail.
road companies, gas light. tele-
phone, electric and all corporations
to give full cash value of proper
sies to auditing officers SO thai
: people may know as to taxation.
