How "Jeffersonian Simplicity Shows
Up in the Light Of History.
Was Jefferson really SO simple? He
belonged by birth to the Virginian
aristocracy, the most exclusive and
most sumptuos class that has ever con-
Itrived to establish itself in the United
states. When he came of age he ranked
among the five richest men in the cou1-
try. His marriage brought him an es-
tate Of 10000 acres and 1876 slaves. He
built Monticello, for so years the most
distinguished seat of private hospital
ity in America, mansion where pow
dered wigs bowed to brocadeed silk
and rettinues Of liveried servants kept
up a state oflavisha and aignified ornate
ness. AS Minister to France he lived.
with the greatest elegance. His enter
tainments were frequent and bountiful,
land he far exceeded his official salary.

rotary Of State at Philadelphia he. occu-
pied a handsome house in the suburbs,
kept FIVE horses, imported the first
French chef that had ever been seen in
America, and inlmortalized himself by

not only In the knowledge that they
are the handlwork Of 1000 years ago,
or that they represent the life of those
times as we'll as the probable supersti-
ton that the presence of such dolls in

so in the extraordinary vividness Of the

"They are sometimes rudely carved,
but they are always lifelike There are
dolls in gfanaries and dolls in war-gal-
leys-wonderful dolls these, with a
world of expression in their glaring
eyes, though the eyes are only two
dashes and a dot--and a wonderful
vigor in the way their wooden arms
strain at the sweeps. You can almost
hear the yell of the steersman and the
crack of his whip. Then, there are dolls

bullock with meek legs bound together

DENVER WHITE ROBINS.

White robins are almost as scarce as
white blackbirds, but for some reason
this season has been favorable for this
kind of a sport from nature, and sew
eral white nestlings have been reported
in Denver and vicinity. ...-.
The only white robins to reach ma
turity are those belonging to C. A. Ly-
man of 1902 Race street. The eggs
from which they came looked just the
other two. There We're three robins
Matched, but one was just like his
father and mother, an ordinary red
breast. The white robins were espec-
ial favorites with the parent birds, and
grew more rapidly. After they had
begun to fly in his back yard, Mr.. Ly-
man Gagged the fiedglings, but the
mother continued to feed them until
about a week ago. Since she quit
them they have become quite tame,
and eat out of their owners hand.
The white robins are the same, size
and shape as the redbreasts, but every
feather is snowy white and they have
bright pink eyes. AS is the case with
most albino animals their sight is not
very good, and they will peck at a
worm several times before finally get
ting it in their mouths.
Three years ago a white robin was
Matched out in nest in the same tree
but it died before reaching maturity.
Tht pair of robins which Matched these
white birds are old birds, and DIR. Ly-
man thinks they are the same as those
which Matched the white bird three
years ago.-Denver Republican. r.

The west is a country of big things,
and railroad building by machinery is
one OF them. Even the roadbed on
which the track rests is made. up by
the steam and horse grader great holes

may give a clearer idea of the quick
ness of it ALL To put down sixty feet
of track means, of course, to set in po-
sition one hundred and twenty feet of
rails. The average rail is thirty feet in
length, SO that four rails are required
to cover the sixty feet. The track-lay-
ing machine has aid 1,1S0 such rails in
ten hours. This means the laying Of
no less than Ito feet of track every
hour, or nearly one-third of a mile.
Yet to accomplish the feat all the ties
must be placed on their beds, and the
rails not only laid upon them, but fas-
tened to the wood and made ready for
service. :

manual labor that is saved. by the gen

six men are enough. About twice as
