watched the sun take his nightly
plunge into the sea Of mountains. now
dimly visible. Behind us stretched the
prairie, sweeping out level to the sky
and cut by the winding coulee Of the
Swan. Great long shadows from the
hills were lying upon its yellow face,
and far at the distant edge the gray
haze was deepening into purple. Be-
fore us lay the hills. softly curving
like the shoulders Of great sleeping
monsters, their tops still bright, but
the separating valleys full Of shadow.
And there, far beyond them. up against
the sky, was the line Of the mountains
blue. purple and gold, according as
@e light fell upon them.
The sun had taken his plunge, but he
had left behind him the robes of SAT
from and gold. We stood long without
4 word or movement, filing our hearts
with the silence and the beauty, till
the gold in the west began to grow
dim. High above all the night was
stretching her star pierced. blue can

east over the prairie and over the sleep

The great silence of the dying day
had fallen upon the world and held
US fast.

was determined to try to have the
baseball match postponed. There could
be no difficulty. One day was as much
Of n holiday as another to these easy
going fellows. But the Duke. when I
suggested a change in the day, simply
raised his eyebrows an eighth Of an
inch and said:
Cant see why the day should be
changed" Bruce stor1ned and swore
all sorts Of destruction upon himself
II he was going to change his style of
life for any man. The others followed
the Dukes lead.
That Sunday was day Of incon-
gruities. The old and the new, the
east and the west, the reverential past
and the iconoclastic present were
jumbling themselves together in bewil-
dering confusion. The baseball match
was played with much vigor and pro-
family. The expression on the Pilots
face as he stood watching for awhile
was curious mixture Of interest, sur
prise, doubt and pain. He was read
justing himself. He was so made as
to be extremely sensitive to his sur
roundings. he took on color quickly.
The utter indifference to, the audacious
disregard Of all he had hitherto consid.
cred sacred and essential was discon-
certing. They were all 80 dead sure.
How did he know they were wrong7
It was his first near view of practical,
living skepucism. skepticism in a
book did not disturb him; he could put
down words against 1t. But here it
was alive, cheerful, attractive, indeed
fascinating; for these men in their
western garb and with their western
swing had captured his Imagination.
He was in fierce struggle. and In a
few minutes saw him disappear int.

XT n RIGHT Man FOR
FOURTH WARD ALDERMAN

John p. Sexton, the democratic can
uidate for alderman in the Fourth
ward is the right kind of man ex-
city to be sent to the common coun-
eli to represent the business ward of
the city. He is man Cf standinS in
commercial circles and has the re-
Spect and confidence of all business
men who have had transactions with
him. 1t is but necessary to converse
With him to understand his position
IN all questions involved N the pres
mt OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES included.
And the argument of the morning
paper that has already condemned
the process by which the republican
candidate was nominated i'll the face
f the desire of the reputable party
representatives. that because Mr..
5eNtCn was once identified with Loon
~ he still is. comes with very poor
grace. Especially is this true when
the Union knows that il was Looncy
himself that forced the nomination
3f Tom Jenkins upon the republican
primary, and got away with it in the
face Of indignant protests. The Union
will be obliged to get Il candidate that
it can ccnscientiOusly tie to itself be-
fore it begins throwing stones at the
one on the. other side. The standing.
politically. of Mr.. Sexton is vouched
f, r-can the Union say as much for
Mr.. jenkins?
