Not Without Di.tinction.

A note of family pride was struck in the
conversation between three small Reading
boys the other day. The parts played by
their respective grandfathers in the civil war

had been halted by confinement in southern
prisons, and it was on the latter fact that the
lads laid particular stress. The third youth,
unable to match these recitals with any
military achievement ofhis own forefathers,
preserved an envious silence for while, and
then, not to be outGone, said, disparagingly:

he removed his gloves, and leaned
slightly forward in his chair. "You
are busy man and I will attempt
to state my proposition as concisely
as possible. According to popular
report and to general knowledge you
have been <ept the moving spirit in
those great financial undertakings
which have resulted in the reorgani-
cation of various industries. Your
standing is such that your name is
sufficient to guarantee the success
of any undertaking of this character.
Did it ever occur to you that there
is one great industry which never
yet has tested the benefits which
come from a community of owner.

sidered the possibilities of a news

Mr.. Hestor paused. The stern old
millionaire did not answer for a mo-
ment, and seemed to be waiting for
the editor to continue Hestor was
content to wait.
Il have thought of it. but I did not
imagine the first suggestion would
come from a representative of The
Record" said Mr.. Morton. Hestor
was not the least abashed.

pears in The Record, and you know

pecially metropolitan papers, to un-
derstand the exigencies of politics. .

THE LOST.

Down In the crowded. busy street
A little child was lost;
He ran with weary little feet
Where hurrying hundreds crossed;
From those who stopped he turned aside.
And, filed with sudden fear,
He wildly. pitifully cried
For one who did not hear.
His anxious father came at last
And clasped the weeping boy,
And many one who hurried past
Concealed a tear of joy.
The father kissed the little face
With all the stains it bore,
And blissful trust was in the place
Where fear had been before
I am but a child that's lost;
By dreadful doubts oppressed
! think of CULTS that must be crossed,
And fear is in my breast.
o, will my faith return to me-
Will He come back some day
To where l linger doubtingly,
And lead me on the way?

Mr.. Morton. "That, however, has

Mr.. Morton nodded his head and
growled consent to this injunction,
which he evidently regarded as un-
necessary.

Beautiful Saddle.

There was on exhibition in D. R.
McArthur' show window last Friday
to Monday the Union Pacific prize
saddle for Frontier Days in Cheyenne,
August so and 81, This is without
exception the finest saddle ever seen
in Greeley, and far surpasses the
saddles given as prizes in the buck
ing contests of previous years. 1t
was made for this purpose by Wilson
Brothers Of Denver. With the saddle
are also rope, quirt and spurs to
match.
The two days program will be
practically the same as last year,
with several new features added, the
most sensational OF these being wha.
they call the bulldog negro, who
throws a steer with his teeth.

NEW STONE CRUSHER
City Puts One into Work This

all last week placing the new stone
crusher lust purchased by the city.
The crusher is now in running order

street The larger stones have been
pretty we'll covered up when used for
grayelns streets, but SOONER OIL later
they work up through the finer gravel
and are q meaace to horses feet,
With the crusher everything in the
way of pebbles or stones over an inch
in diameter will be crushed, thus
making ideal gravel fol the streets,
The apparatus has been placed in
such manner that the wagons haul
ing gravel drive right under hopper
and are loaded automatically. The
gravel, ine and coarse. is hauled to
the crusher with scrapers and
dumped on to coarse screen. All
the finer gravel goes through the
screen. and the larger stones fall

With Blood Poisoning

r. E. Greenway, manager OF the
drygoods department Of the A. j.
Park store, was back at work last
Monday morning for the first time in
three weeks, being laid up with blood
poisoning in the right foot. The
trouble was probably caused by
slight cut made just above the top OF
his oxford shoe while on the train.
Mr.. Greenway had started on trlp
to St. Louis, being accompanied as
far as Colorado Springs by MIS-
Greepway. 1t was somewhere be-
tween here and Colorado Springs t'lat

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Little Willie Morrison Has Bullet
in Body.

As a result OF the careless handling
of a 22-caliber ride in the hands of
I3-year-old Axel Coshurg, William
Morrison, OF about the same age,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Morrison,
mile and half northwest OF Ker-
sey, is lying with bullet somewhere
in his oody.
The two with several other boys
had been In bathing in the Latham
ditch a. about 2 80 last Sunday after
noon and Willie was sitting on the
bank of the ditch fastening his
shoes. Axel was playing with his
rifle, which was accidentally dis
charged, the bullet striking his COM
panion in the breast. On account of
the STOPPING position of the victim
the bullet went through part OF
the left lung, thence downward, mar
rowly missing the heart, and lodging
some place in his back, probably pass

assistance. He did not at any time
lose consciousness. AS soon as they
reached home DR.. Graham Of Greeley
was sent for and the injuries given

this there are but small chances for

This shooting accident seems to be

peculiar fate that overhangs the sons
