s.,,,s,. sw,.. Covenants.

exne of the ancient agreements pe-
tween the little Swiss states were very
noteworthy. In l2+3 Berne ana FIJI
boure made q covenant which lasted
for more than 200 years by which they
agreed that even a war between them
should not destroy their agreement
that no war between them should ps
entered on without a previous attempt
at conciliation and that within four
teen days of the end of any feud all
territory conquered and spoils OF war
must l,e returned TO their owners. CIT
ies which ESQ years ago could agree to
such terms deserve TO live in history.
Basel, Schaffhausen and Appenzeli
few years later were wise ana far-
sighted enough to agree ITO sit still
and seek conciliation" in case Of diner-
ence between them. Just over 6oo
years ago the Swiss confederation was
founded by the three tiny mountain
states Uri. Schwys and Nidwalden,
which, remaining small and unimpor-
tant themselves. have by the force OF
the IDEA Of union drawn to themselves
from time to time larger states and
powerful cities till today the Swiss ma
ton can in proportion to its size ana
population boast Of q prouder history
and greater benefits to mankind than
any other nation in Europe.

Impression. VIII. Drowning.

Most of us, expect. at some time or
other have wondered what II feels like
to be drowned II We have never seen
any one drowning we mean by this
that we wonder whether il is at all
like what it IL represented to be
whether ones whole past life passes
before ones eyes like a dream. wheth-
er one spends ones last few moments
in wishing one had spent more profita-
bly, the last few years IL We have seen
people drowning we wonder whether il
feels as bad as II looks Now, l cannot
pretend to have been nearly drowned.
Nor can / say what 1t feels like to sink
after a prolonged struggle in calm wa
ter within sight Of land But l can say
what 1t feels like to be quite convinced
that one is going to be drowned. and l
am happy to know from personal ex-
perience that the feeling is one merely
of disappointment. One IL simply an
noyed. certainly not angry. certainly
not afraid.-Hubert Walter in Black

PATH OF The STORM
Much Damage Done by Heavy
Wind.

/ The terrible windstorm that swept
over Colorado last Monday was per
Ibaps more kind to the country rishl
about Greeley than In any other part
OF Its path. So far as has peen
learned, not any damage of conSe-
ouence was done here, except what
| might be done with q heavy coat OF
dust upon everything iuside houses

escape so easily. Fort Collins, less
than thirty miles northwest OF here
had to put forth its most strenuous
efforts to keep from being wiped out
by fire. that broke out In many parts
The beautiful agricultural college

praiYie fires burning west OF ii. Be-
sides the damage done by several fires,
Sc veral buildings were disfeured by
the wind.
North OF Greeley the storm also
ragged. the wind attaining speed OF
from 60 to IS miles 40 hour At
Athol station when the Union Pacific
passenger train from Cheyenne
reached that place the wind struck
the coaches with such force that It
stripped the cars Of ventilators. 1t
was thought best to hold the tain
there for several minutes until luli
in the storm.
That the wind could overturn rail-
road trains was demonstrated at
Georgetown, where three COACHES OF
a Colorado & Southern on the Clear
Creek branch were overturned with
about 25 occupants. Many were ser
iously injured. ln Denver the wind
blew down electric wires that cleo
trocuted two men. Damage to a
large amount was done to property
in other parts Of the state. BY old
residents 1t was pronouced the worst
storm In years.

cure indigestion and dyspepsia.
"A short time ago we learned that
. new remedy called 'Pepsiko!a' has
been placed on the market, and on
investigation we found that at last
there is remedy that surely will
cuIe.
I'VE laid in big supply because
we knew that as soon rs the people
began to realize what a remarkable
remedy Pepsikola is there would he a
big demand for it. and it is selling
even bevond our expectations.
1t is not often a druggist sells a

it will cure, but unless Pepsikola
does cure you oil nervousness, dizzy
spells, sour stomach. coated tongue,
palpitation. hliousness. headaches
and other symptoms OF dyspepsia
Clark & Faulkner will hand you back
your money cheerfully and without

si.e of the Oceans.

Most men seem to be as ignorant
about the size Of the sea as they are Of
the distance between the heavenly
planets. Invention gives few inter
esting facts: The Pacific covers 6S,OOO,-
600 miles, the Atlantic 3O,OO0OOO and
the Indian, Arctic and Antarctic. oceans
42.OOO.OOO. To stow away the contents
of the Pacific 1t would be necessary to
fill tank a mile long, mile wide and
q mile deep every day for 44O years.
Put in figures, the Pacific holds in
weight 34S,0OO 900. .OOO, ,OOo, ,OO0, 600 tons.
The Atlantic averages depth Of not
quite three miles. Its water weighs
325. 600. .OeO, ,OOO, ,OOO. 600 tons, and tank
to contain it would have each of its

BABY WAS KILLED
Tragedy in Home of Albert Busse
Family.

A tragic and peculiar accident Oc-
Cured at about $3.50 Monday morning
In the home of Albert Busse, six
miles west OF Greeley, In which the
infant babe of MI. and Mrs. Busse
was killed by a bullet from neigh
boris rife.
Frank Williams, living with his
two brothers on tho Durkee ranch
about q half mile northeast Of the
Busse home, saw three coyotes on \
ridge running about midway between
the two houses, and took shot at
them, standing In his own doorysrd.
He saw the bullet strike the ground
near the coyotes. Owing to the ridge
between them neither Of the houses
can be seen from the location Of the
other.
The children in the Busse home
heard the baby moauiDg ~ 1t lay 10
its little bed near . window facing
the Williams home. When they
went to the bed, they found the pill.
low soaked with blood and bullet,
somewhat fiattened, IN the pillow.
The missile had gone through win
dow pane, through , part Of the pill
low, then through the baby's head
and into the pillow again. The
strange part Of 1t was that the baby
lived for a couple Of hours after 1t
was injured.
City Marshal Camp was telephoned
for as soon as the accident was dis
covered and not until he had arrived
in the neighborhood and begun an in
vestigation did Mr.. Williams learn
what terrible work his bullet had
done. Coroner Macy conducted an
inquiry the same day, but nothing
new developed, as there could be no
doubt about the deed being done
accidentally.
