Sept. q, 1880, a man sprang. as It
were, out Of the ground, seized the bri-
die Of the travellers horse and at the
same instant demanded a halt Two
other men joined the first, and to these
three the traveller offered the authority
for John Anderson to pass ON public
business and signed by the major gen.
eral commanding West Point.
For one moment the pass suff1ced.
Then there was doubt. In that moment
Of hesitation the travellers eyes rested
upon a coat that one of the men wore
which he had obtained while prisoner
not long before, and, recognizing the
garb Of the Hessian soldiers attached
to the British army, the traveller con-
cluded hastily that he had fallen
among friends instead of foes. 81 see

Ayers pills greatly aid recovery.
Purely vegetable, gently laxative.

The editor of the Cove County Re-
publican visited Collyer last week and
just look here how nice he found
things:
Collyer is hustling little town of
possibly 100 souls, situated near the
west line of TregO county, m the main
line of the Union Pacific r. R., about
IA miles west of Wa-Keeney. The
town was established when the rail-
road was building and was named In
honor of Rev. Robert CoIlyer. She is
well supplied with church and school
privileges and has g. A. R. hall.
She has an elevator ano prospective
one. J. w. Hickman, one of its oldest
Inhabitants, is its postmaster, and his
son Charles is one of the general mer-
chant and runs the l. NJ, YoSt eleva-
tor. He has already bought forty-five
car loads of wheat and the elevator is
full to oyerfiOwing with wheat await
ing cars to haul it to market. WIN.
Bower is another of the older inhabi-
tants who came to Collyer in an early
day and clerked for L. A. Fisher who
at that time run half dozen general
merchandise stores in as many differ
emit towns. Ever since 1898 Mr.. Bower
has been engaged in the general mer-
chandise business for himself and he
has made a grand success of it, and
has become wealthy. He is also en-
ing to put in an elevator Among
the more recent additions to the town
are: A. Barnes, hardware and lumber,
w. Harrison. "Mine Host" and F. E.
Preston, the blacksmith. j. H. Deaf
rich, also one of the older residents,
and who has been employed by the
Union Pacific for the last 30 wears as
pumper, owns one of the beautiful
homes of the town, and he and his
sons had 800 acres in wheat this sea-
son. His sons want him to quit the
road and retire but his big wheat crop
does not affect him shat way. Time
and space will not permit US to say
more at present.

aired Tennyson Dealt Gently With
the Restless Creature.
ihere is no American boy or girl who
does not know Of the great poet. Al
fred Tennyson, and who will not be
glad to hear of his gentleness to ami
mails. One day the poet arrived at
Haslemere station carrying heavy
packet of books. His own carriage
was not to be seen, SO he was glad to
accept lift home. Going up the steep
hills to Blackdown, Tennyson. with his
usual thoughtfulness for horses. sug-
gested that two men and their books
were too heavy load for one small
pony and proposed that he and his
friend should get out and walk. They
therefore jumped down and walked for
some distance in front of the trap, the
little horse following. Suddenly how
ever, they found that the books We're
gone! They had dropped out on the
way. The poet was asked to stand by
the pony's head while his companion
went back to look for them. They
were not found for some time, and the
pony, tired Of waiting, grew very rest
less. When his master came back,
knowing that the little fellow had
great dislike for strangers. he asked
how Tennyson had managed to keep
him quiet. He was astonished to find
that the poet had done this by holding
his watch from time to time to the
ponyss ear, as you may sometimes see
a mother do to amuse her baby.-De-

Stamping Out Use of Opium.

When the Japanese took possession
of Formosa they found there popu-
lation more or less addicted to the
use of opium. 1t was decided to abol-
ish the practice by degrees. Only
those who have suffered from it's ef-
fects to the extent that 1t occasions
intense pain to deprive them of their
pipe are now permitted, by special
warrant which they are obliged to
procure, to continue the use thereof.
TO newly commence opium smoking
is strictly forbidden, or. even continue
it unless it can be shown that absten:
ton is impossible. A government
monopoly of the article was expressly
established to facilitate the final ex'
tinction Of the habit of using it.

FACIAL EXPRESSIONS.

and it may also give them sonae ideas
that they can turn to advantage in
making pictures.
NJ. Frappe. a French artist. says that
all facial expressions can be reduced to
three typical forms-a astonishment, JOY
and sorrow.
His theory is that as 12O different col
ors can he reduced to three primary
ones-namely. red, blue and yelow-so
facial expressions can be similarly re-
duced.
The illustrations show NJ. Frappe's S
working models for each of the three
