The Republican party cried for a
Moses and they found him in James
H. Peabody and now they would re-
pudiate him. But from the present
outlook Mr.. Peabody does not pro
pose that hi. party shall throw him
over. Even Archie Stevenson. with
his curly top knot. is turning and
twisting to find some means to
shelve Mr. Peabody and at the same
time repu iiate his acts. While Mr.
Peabody acted we'll the part of the
Moses, he is now appearing in the
role of the White Elephant and is a
most unruly part of the Republican
show to handle.

succeed themselves that they nave

Blair the chairman of the central

must be obeyed. that those now in
office. save Mr.. Bradbury. must be
nominated and that the Repu

The man least heard of at the Re-

because of this, there are great
many leaders throughout the state

sails for some new sun. Here in
Grand Junction Edward o. has been
an idol. To have given the command
to fall down and worship him, there

Beecher,s Deacon Went to sIeep.

Pew sleepers are ore of the bug
bears of preachers, said the Rev.
Robert Collyer the veteran New York
minister Il can speak feelingly
from experience. On one occasion
when Henry Ward Beecher asked me
to so to Plymouth Church to talk to
his people, he emarked-jokingly. let
us hope-that most of them were hard
working folk who needed plenty of
rest on Sunday, and he felt that a SER
non from me might be gratefully re-
ceived
"In the course of my talk / men,
toned this, and said that it was, how
ever, matter upon which my feelings
could not be hurt, and that 7 owed this
imperviousness to Mr.. Beecher him
self. | told them that, one Sunday,
years before, when L was attending a
service at old Plymouth and Ma
Beecher was laundering forth, | saw
ore OF his deacons asleep in front
pew.
II went on to say that always after
this, whenever | saw man slumber-
ing peacefully through my most stir
ring efforts in the pulpit, | would say
to myself: We'll, let him sleep; even
the great Beecher can't keep 'em all

But how marvellous! How utterly be.
yond the realization of my widest
dreams!"
Not for an instant did it occur to
him to think the narrative false. 1t
was too astounding and, what was
more, it agreed so exactly with all the
strange, and hitherto mysterious, cir
cumstances which had attended the
tragedy. And the man he had wrong
ed-the man he had hunted down and
would have betrayed to death, believ-
ing him to be the vilest of his species
whose whole nature he had read
falsely by the light of his unjust sus'
picions, His eyes were closed-he
seemed to be hardly breathing. Had
he fainted-or-was This death?
Was he to be left alone, and in the
dark, with dead or dying man?
He rushed TO the door and dashed
out of the house in search of doc.

James Ferrers was not dead; but
the nearest medical man, on being
summoned to the house, shook his
head over the case.

to bed. l do not think he will ever
need to get up again.
BY this time the whole household
was reused, and the sick mans daugh-
ter was hanging in speeches. grief,
over her fathers unconscious form.
At one time it was feared that he
would pass away unconscious, but the
untiring application of restoratives
was at last productive of some effect
and two or three hours later the dy-
ing man opened his eyes.
He saw his daughter kneeling be-
side his pillow; and, not far away, his
old friends son, who, by some means,
had asserted and maintained a right
to remain in the sick room.
The doctor, seeing that the patient
had regained consciousness for while
before the end, stood aside, so as not

to interfere with those last solemn
moments.
The dying mans gaze rested upon
the young man-who, in obedience to
gesture, approached and bent over
him-with a strange intensity, and his
lips moved.

close to the others ear, so that the
words might be heard by none but
him for whom they were intended

broken answer. you acted for the

A look of peace fell upon the corpse
like countenance upon the pillow, and
he turned his eyes again upon his
daughter.

child" said he; land when l am

He gave deep sigh. his eyes closed,
and his head fell little to one side

This is the end he said, "and a

Once more the dying eyes opened,
and fixed themselves upon the pale,

had once hoped to see him expiate his
deed upon the scaffold.

He tried again, and this time
though there was no sound-it seemed
to the other, who had his eyes fixed
upon them, and his ear strained to
catch the lightest whisper, that the
motion of the lips might be translated
into the words, Keep my secret"

even as he uttered these words the
end came.
The next day Ted Burritt returned

The first thing he did was to write

very short time which had elapsed
since his last visit, again made his ap-
pearance at Magnolia Lodge-Osten-

particularly to carry out a deep laid
scheme of his own.

Reproduction of Quality.

1t has been assumed that all good
animals had the power to reproduce
In their offspring the good qualities
possessed by themselves, under tho
operations of the general law that
like produces like. But when we get
down to statistics, it is discovered
that this theory cannot be entirely re-
lied upon in breeding operations. A
careful compilation of figures goes to
show that very large number of ar
imals of high quality are poorly pro-
vided with ability to transmit such
qualities to their offspring. But here
and there are animals that, being high
in quality, are able to transmit the
quality for which they are noted to
all their offspring, or, at least, to q
very large percentage of them. 1t
therefore becomes necessary for the
breeders of live stock to discover
which are the animals that will do
this.
There have been horses remarkable
produce colts with like powers of
speed, while now and then a speedy
horse appears that can produce Off
spring with like powers as himself
The same truth runs through all the
breeds of live stock. The work OF
educating man along this line has
just begun. The pedigrees Of $4,000
race horses have been tabulated, and
their get also investigated. OF these
$4,000 trotters. only a little over 100
were able to produce numerous off
spring having speed qualities. The
difficulty with such an investigation
is that the real value of a horse can
not be known till he is dead. Thus,
Hambletonian Ten died, cart horse
in Kentucky, before the world had dis
covered his wonderful ability to get
speed in his offspring.
Our stockmen are now taking up
the study in earnest and are making
records Of the get of various animals,
as to the qualities of such get. Thus.
in selecting a bull to head the Hol-
stein herd, the University of Illinois
selected one whose offspring and
sisters and female relatives had
proven good mixers. 1t was not
enough that the animal himself had
the proper conformation.
The tendency of such an investiga-
ton is to put at the head of the flocks
and herds mature animals. This Is
movement that can go on but slowly,
as it must require the labor of thou
sands of men and must take years of
time to arrive at conclusion Of much
weight; but when once arrived at the
conclusion is worth all it costs. A
generation of this kind of labor is
sure to greatly modify the live stock
industry and develop it along the most
prepotent lines.

which had heard of but never tried.

1t has been said that thunderstorns
nre influenced' by the moon. Nearly

first half of the lunar month. The
greatest number Of thunderstorms
come between the new moon and the
first quarter; the least number be-
