1t is well to make allowance, too,
for contingencies in the nature of tests
Of character. You may think you have
your temper and your tongue pretty
well under control for the ordinary
strains, but who knows whether before
this coming week is half over some
especially irritating circumstance will
arouse slumbering demon within you,
and before you know IT you will have
said or done something which you will
regret the rest Of your life? After all,
the real test Of a mans virtue is the
way he will behave when he is taken
unawares. Are you laying up some re-
serves against that day, so that the un-
expected trial or temptation shall not
destroy or impair your manhood?
Old age is a contingency for which
we ought TO prepare, nay, look forward

And how about the thing to which
at last old age itself yields? Is not the
future life a contingency for which it
is high time to begin preparation?
"Ah," you say, 'it is all hazy with
doubt" Well, then, treat 1t as a con-
tingency, but let the mere possibility
of it purify and ennoble your daily
living. Suppose that some day you
wake UP and find yourself in a strange
new environment in the midst of OPP
portunities for ampler, richer life than
you have ever enjoyed here upon the
earth. Suppose that you find yourself
in the presence of a great searcher of
human hearts to whom you will have
to render strict account of what you
have done with your time and your
talents. Would you endure the tender
yet searching scrutiny of such a Judge?
Would you take your place with the
upright and valiant of all the ages :?
Would you go on into the vast
reaches Of the future ever learning
more about yourself, the universe and
God? The only way to be ready for
such contingency is to heed the SOL
emn admonition of the master of men
who, when on earth, bade each of his
followers to lay UP for himself treas

Underflow to be Used.

The Denver Times says that a new
phase of irrigation experiments is to
be attempted by +. j. Webber on state
land. He has secured the use of $40
acres of state lands in Otero, Bent and
Las Animas counties. His idea is t.
raise the undertlow of Horse creek, in
Otero county, to the surface and util-
ize the water for irrigation purposes.
The idea is a new one in this state, a nd
land board gladly permitted Webbcr to
have the use of the land, with the
provision that if he fails it will revert
back to the state. If Webber's expert
ment meets with success 900 acres OF
arid land owned by the state will be
placed under irrigation. For this
reason the proposition was more readi-
ly complied with. The exact method
Of procedure was not explained to the
board, but it will be something that
has never been tried in Colorado

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's Emulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion

irrigation from the Arkansas river

ging itself along in the supreme court
of the United States, it has, in a large

The more the facts involved in the

that will be introduced. 1t will be
next to impossible for it to show that

and unless it shows that it will have
no ground Of action.
The whole work in which the ma

the reclamation of arid lands proceeds
upon the supposition that water may
be le yally diverted, hence the action
of Kansas in bringing this suit was in
direct conflict with policy which has
