MERE OPINION.

1t frequently happens thet a man who
pays as he goes doesn't go very far.
A woman always seems to be able to
get a great deal of satisfaction out of
Boosting that her husband fell in love
with her at first sight, even if he has
grown cool on further acquaintance.
Nothing is more pathetic than a total
abstrainer who is compelled to go through
life with a red nose.
The boy who is paid to Be good never
earns his money.
Many a great man has considered him
self a failure because he couldn't dance.
There can be little happiness in this
world for a man who is trying to supper,
a baby grand wife on a melodeon income.
There is no evidence to indicate that
God when He made the world limited
Himself to an eight-hour day.-Record-
Herald.

wool on the fences, droppings on the
ground and footprints of sheep in the
fields. Everything goes to show that
these peoples rights have been ignor.
ed by the Maxwell G. Stevens bands of
sheep.
Maxwell has reserved out Of this
grant of land two fields for his dairy
herd that look as if there had not been
a hoof Of sheep in the field last winter
or this spring. This is about one
fourth of his grant, and | have knowl-
edge enough to make me firmly believe
that Maxwell has no better right to
this grant than the ranchmen living in
the vicinity of this grant of lands.
This is not an excuse for the crime
that has been committed. but there
certainly is some one to Diame, and on
whom should the blame rest? Is 1t
Maxwell, or Is it the ranchmen who
feel that they have been imposed upon
to such an extent and think it their
duty to protect their homes and faml-
lies in some way?
l have known instances where herds
of sheep and the wagons have been
moved five miles from the settlements
of r%anchmen, quietly and peaceably,
who asked them not to intrude over a
certain line, but they paid no heed to
1t, and, consequently, drove five fami-
lies of bona fide settlers from their
homes by driving the sheep five miles
their sheep wagons to Craze.

MODIFIED OPEN-SHELF
SYSTEM FOR LIBR

| 81" FSn -tonNnI
The trustees of the public library
have determined upon a modified form
Of the open-shelf system in the new Ii.
brary and the plans for the interior ar.
engagements of the building are being
adapted to it. say the Denver Times.
The plan is to select about 10000
books, covering every field of litera-
ture. These will be placed in one large
room with shelves accessible to the
public. The remainder Of the library
will be OIL the card system.
1t is believed that in 10000 books
sufficient variety can be obtained to
satisfy the desires of those who favor
the open-shelf system while the costly
or rare publications which might ex-
cite the cupidity of professional sneak
thieves will be protected.
