Shortage Of state Funds.

According to an estimate prepared by
Auditor Holmberg. says the Denver
News Of August 14th, not one Of the
state schools and but few Of the state
charitable institutions will receive any
money this year under the new appro-
priation bill. The recent action Of the
state board of assessors in cutting the
valuation Of property in accordance
with the cuts made by the state board
of equalization on the corporate in
terests in the state. has decreased the
revenue for this year something more
than $4,000.
The legislature, at the extra session.
appropriated money nearly $1,000. 900 in
excess of the expected revenue, and
this with the. $150,000 reduction made
by the assessors shows $350,00O in
funds lacking to meet the items in the
appropriation bill.
The worlds fair appropriation Is one
of the most important of these. This
appropriation is in the fourth class,
and there hardly seems hope now OF it.

The Globe Democrat does not want a

knows, too, that this same Globe Dem

The Best Thing In a Poets Life.

There have been many good things
said of Richard Henry Stoddard, the
aged poet, who died few days ago in
New York. He was an old-fashsoned
man, with old.fashioned notions of
honesty and courtesy, and nature as
fine as spun gold.
And the sweetest story of his life
was his love for his wife. Half a
century ago he married her, and for
fifty years he made her happy. They
say that true love and real sympathy
speak without words; that man and
woman, their lives in tune, can sit
hand in hand and each understand the
very heart throbs of the other without
one spoken word. That Is true, some
times. 1t means devotion that is un-
selfish and holy.
When a man lives for years with
that kind of human comfort at his fire.

after death has entered his ousehold
When Mrs. Stoddard was dying, she
smiled fondly into her husbands face,
touched his hand with her wan fingers
and whispered, "Good-by, dear, l am
going and you must take care of your
self"
He stood by her open grave with the
sun shining on his grand face and tolt
the mourners what one woman hat
done to completely fill the life of bel
husband. After that he didn't want t
live.
You are young. There are no aches
in your bones, no great sadness in your
heart. You can't and do not under

Genius is One.Sided.

Genius in most cases is another name
for one-sided or unsymetrical develop
ment of the human faculties.
1t was once the fashion to deform
human beings in order to furnish the
courts OF royalty with testers whose
very appearance would cause mirth.
Victor Hugo pictures the barbarism
of this practice in 1.-The Man Who
Laughs" The man in this case was a
mere aggregation of sorrows, but the
inhumanity of art had, by surgery,
fixed his face into permanent grin.
Oriental courts used TO offer such
premiums for monstrosities that it be-
came fashion 10 imprison growing
children in strong earthen pots until
they had filled out the interior. Then
the pot was broken and the individual
was turned loose In the world with
grotesque figure. He was made
miserable in order that those who
looked upon him might laugh.
These barbarites have not ceased
altogether. They have merely changed
their form. Instead OF calling in
surgery or plastic art to bring about
an abnormal development OF humanity,
we now employ education. If child
shows a peculiar aptitude in some par
ticular direction; if he has one talent
that is far in advance of all other
faculties, instead of trying TO bring the
deficiencies up to the normal and re-
straining that faculty that is hyper
thropied, so as to produce a normal
individual, the practice is TO increase
the abnormality BY putting all the
training upon the one faculty that is
overdeveloped. This practice gives
pleasure to the world, as the older
practice gave pleasure to the king and
his court.
In many cases it develops an abnor-
NAL individual, with most of his useful
faculties dwarfed and one overde-
veloped. The young violin virtuoso
Kocian appears to be one of these.
He is an artist, to be sure. He can
play the fiddle with wonderful skill,
but training has made him an ire
sponsible child in most other respects.
His ear is so exquisitely educated

nature is so overdeveloped that when

development instead of creating a
