stepped Against a Hot stove.

A child of Mrs. Geo. I. Benson,
when ge' ting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepped back against a
hot stove which burned him Sc.
verely. The child was in great
agony and his mother could do
nothing to p4cify him. Remem-
hering that she had a bottle of
Chambellain's Pain Balm in the
house, she thought she would trv
it. In less than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks
was well. Mrs. Benson is a we'll
known resident of Kellar, Va.
Pain Balm is an antiseptic lini-
ment and especially valuable for
burns, cuts, bruises and sprains.

Strike Situation.

A well known and conservative
business man of Trinidad, who has
just returned from tour of in
spection of the various coal min
ing camps of Las Animas county,
this morning stated that the pres
ent strike of coal miners is far
more serious than the operators
care to admit. More men are out
than is acknowledged by the com
panies. and more are joining the
movement daily, notwith standing
the claims of gairs made 10y the
various miDe managers. "As a
matter of fact" said this merchant,
"tbe operators are losing ground
daily and the strikers are gaining
1t is impossible TO give accurate
figures, but it is safe to. say that
fully IS per cent of the men are
out. The companies refuse to al
low outsiders to approach the
mines, but enough has been
learned to disprove many of the
statements made by the operators
in regard to the number of men
they claim to have at work. The
seriousness of the strike will be
better realized in the next fort
night, when the coal supply of the
state will begin to run low. Then
it will be known just how much
coal is being mined and a show
down will come. Denver Post.

CUCUMBER HARVEST.
Three Machines Turning Out 1900
Pounds Of Seed Daily.

To fully appreciate the magni-
tude of the Aeed business around
Rocky Ford one must drive into
the country and see the seeders at
work. Tons upon tons of canta-
loupe seed are saved each year and
a labor saving machine had to be
invented to do the work. The ma
chine now used by Burrell is sim
pie in mechanism and is run by
horse power. The melons are
thrown into hopper and crushed
and from there they go into a
large revolving sieve-llke cylinder
and from this into the washing
pans.
The cucumber seed are saved in
the same way. One machine will
turn out 1,5OO pounds of seed in a
day. The machines travel from
field to field. The farmer is noti-
fled Il few days ahead TO gather his
cucumbers and place them in piles
in tie field so that when the ma.
chine comes there will be no delay
in the "threshicg.n This is the
first season the farmers have grown
a vine seed crop of this kind /:
some are we'll pleased with results
while some are not, but on the
whole the first wears results are
quite satisfactory.-Rocky Ford

In speaking of cards Of thanks
the Pueblo Chiftain brands them as
products of the rural district. 1t
is not in the best of taste. no mat
ter how one looks at it. People
naturally feel kindly toward those
who show respect to their dead, or
who have done the kindly offices
that we must all do and accept at
times, but there are many ways of
showing an ecknowledg gment that
are better than newspaper notice.
In fact, that seems the most heart
less way OF doug it, 1t smacks of
getting rid of obligations all in a
bunch. 1t frequently happens
that a person dies and the first
public mention OF it is card of
thanks, signed by half dozen
members of the family. Etiquette
regarding funerals, as in every
thing else, is dictated by good
taste, and it is better to err, if at
all, on the side of simplicity and
desire to avoid public display of
grief.

Inc early planted Deets last
spring had to be replanted on &C
count of the exceptionally cold
backward season, but it is our
opinion that the growers will make
mistake il they accept that as "a
guide 10 planting future crops.
The experience here has been that
at least four times in five early
planting proves the most profit
able. Beets should be planted
early next spring regardless of the
result this year and the ground
should be prepared now.

The habit some people have of
eavcsdropping on mutual tele-
phone lines received pretty hard
lick in court decision in an east
ern state few days ago, accord
ing to an exchange, The case
originated bv one man bringing a
libel suit against another for hav-
ing said in talk over a line that
he was dishonest. In reviewing
the case, the court said in effect
that the conversation was sup
posed to be private and confiden-
tial, and if others along the line
heard the bad story about the
neighbor they were eavesdropping
on the same principle as steal
ing into ones private conversa-
ton. The court holds a sensible
view that those who use tele-
phone are entitled to talk privately
and confdentially. While others
hnve power to listen, they really
have no right to do so, and GER
tainly no right to repeat such in
formal ion to others.

the poor crop this year 1t has
been satisfactorily demonstrated
that there is no crop SO well adapt
ed to our soil and climate or more
certain to bring the grower pro-
fit taken one year with another.
1t therefore seems foolish for farm-
ers to declare they will raise no
more beets, because the present
crop is light. There is no country
on the globe where good crops are
grown every year no matter how
well the locality is adapted TO grow
ing a particular product, There
are bound to be bad years and
good years, and the chances are
that the farmer who puts out n
big beet crop next year. will be Il
winner. 1t is not at all likely that
we will get two bad seasons in

pin, and, while he was getting the pin.
the man clasped his mouth. The boy
was put into the wagon and warned not
to give an alarm at the peril Of his
life,
One man drove the horses, while am
other held Carr and kept him from
screaming. The horses were driven out
to the Petersburg turnpike to the gypsy
camp, a few miles from Manchester
The Roun1 anians held the boy until
about 8 O'Clock Tuesday night, when the
guard went off into the woods The boy
had ceased crying and the kidnappers
must have thought that he had fallen
asleep. While they were away from the
wagon the boy got out of their reach,
and, finding his way to the Petersburg
turnpike, started back to his home in
Manchester, arriving there at a late hour
Tuesday night.
Carr said that the man who prevented
him from giving an alarm had red hair
and was very strong.

several weeks. It is now likely that the
