Forced Recognition.

Jean Lombard. French writer, had
fought for many years against poverty
and i'll health, but nevertheless had
produced several novels which were
considered by those who had read them
to be works of genius though they had
been total failures as salable commod-
tiles. On his last work he concentrat-
ed all his hopes Of recognition, but on
publica tion the book showed every sign
of going unnoticed. The author. how
ever. hit upon unique way OF adver-
tising it. He wrote from Marselles a
letter signed AN Indignant Republic
an" to the authorities in Paris violent
ly censuring the book as dangerous to
public morality and demanding the i'm
prisonment of its author. When inqui-
ries were made the writer and the au-
thor were found to be one and the
same person. but the writer's object
was accomplished.

Squire Everett pu..led Them.

Senator Hoar in his volume of REM
lniscences gives an amusing glimpse
Of Edward Everett's method of work
ing up his Oratorlcal effects: AT the
Concord celebration In 1850 the great
orator turned in the midst Of his speech
and addressed Amos Baker and iona
than Harrington, two veterans of the
Revolution. AT once they both stood
up, and Mr. Everett said. with fine
dramatic effect Sit, venerable friends.
1t Is for us to stand In your presence
After the proceedings We're over old
Amos Baker was heard to say to
somebody; What do you supposc
Squire Everett meant? He came to MS
before his speech and told us to stand
up when be spoke to us, and when we
stood up he told us to sit down."

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for anyone to attempt to doc
tor 1t himself, though he may have
proper remedies at hand. A ply sician
should always be called. It should be
b0rne IN mind, however, that pneu.
nonia always results from a cold or
from an attack OF the grip, and that
ny giving Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy the threatened attack OF pneu-
m0nia may be warded off This
remedy is also used by physicians IN
the treatment Of pneumonia with
the best results. Dr W. j. Smith
OF Sanders, Ala. who is also a drug
eist, says OF it: l have beSn selling
CEamberlain's Cough Remedy and

center of the ruins are the remains of
a pyramid of the sun and one of the

the sun at CuZcO stood several chapels
Of smaller dimensions. One of these
was dedicated to the moon. the mother

WORTH HELPING ALONG.

The proposed electric railway to
connect all the agricultural sections
Of northern Colorado directly with
Greeley and to furnish another out
let to Greeley produce, is no longer
to be looked upon as mere possioil-
ity. but as an almost assured fact.
The Greeley & Northern Railway 4
Utility company vas incorporated a
few weeks ago, and surveys for the
various lines are now in progress.
Actual grading will probably be CON.
Denced within few weeks at the
latest. A large amount Of money in
preliminary work has already been
expended, showing that the gentle
men having the matter in hand ale
IN earnest.
In another part Of this paper will
be found the most comprehensive
statement Of the benefits to this Sec
tion OF the country to have an elec-
trio railway that vas ever published.
1t is worthy the earnest considera-
tion OF eveYv farmer who may have
property within a radius of four
miles of the line, as his property will
be enhanced In value to a degree he
0ay not now realize. The assistance
from farmers asked for is not un-
reasonable, as it is only in propor-
tlon to the benefits that will accrue.

Y. N. E. A. IS COMING
Work on Organization Has Now
Been Started.

The movement for y. N. c. A..
in. Greeley has taken root and plans
for its organization are IN progress.
Several OF the ministers OF the city
and a few business men have taken 1t
I'd and are actively pushing the
work. Already quarters are being
considered. Robert Steele has offered
to donate a few hundred dollars In
case the ASSOCIATION would put up a
building. For a time, however, 1t
is not believed that 4 building could
be rected. But quarters can be
rented at reasonable figure. Among
Others the old rooms occupied by the
Greeley club are being considered.
The matter of finding q suitable per-
son to act as secretary of the associa-
tion, one who would have the busi-
ness ability and other qualities to
keep up the work and to draw young
men to the place, is one Of the hard
est things those interested in the
organization are now contendinR
with. 1t is now thought that the
financial emo OF the work will not be
so difficult, as already considerable
number of citizens have signited
their willingess to donate toward
the work.
The Y. NJ. c. A. here should not
be looked upon as something that
should be supported altogether by the
merchants, but should as far as pos
sible be made self-sustaining. This
eau best be done by everyone having
son from twelve years and upward.
taking at least one membership in the
association, and also donate as much
more to start with as he can reason
ably afford. Farmers living near
enough to the city SO that their sons
may have the benefit Of the associa-
tion rooms should also take member
ships. Each merchant who would
not care to donate more would at
least End 1t worth his while to take
a membership.
Having 30 good a start on the o.
ganizatlon, the gentlemen who have
taken it up should be given all pns-
sible assistance.

BURIAL OF HEARTS,.
History Supplies Many INSTANCES of
ThiA Old Custom.

ThiA Old Custom.
| The separate burial of hearts is not
such singular occurrence as many
readers may be apt to suppose. tiisIo-
~ supplies us with numerous in
stances.
When Richard the Lion Hearted was
mortally wounded in the attack on the
castle of Chaluz he expressed wish
that his body should be buried at the
feet of his father at Fontevraud in TO
| ken of his sorrow for the trouble and
anxiety which he had formerly caused
him. But he bequeathed his heart 10
the inhabitants of Rouen as an ac-
| know ledgment of the faithfulness OF
his Norman subjects.
The somewhat singular gift was
gratefully accepted and was honored
| with beautiful shrine In the cathe-
dral. This was destroyed in l73S, but
about a century later the heart of the
famous crusader was found inclosed
in a leaden casket under the pavement
of the cathedral 1t was replaced but
some time later was again taken up
and deposited in the Museum of An
tiuuities, from which it was in turn
removed to more appropriate resting
place in the choir OF the cathedral,
,, where 1t now remains.
On the death of John Ballot. father
of that Baliol who opposed Rruces
claim to the throne of Scotland, his
widow ordered his heart to be removed
and placed in an ivory casket. Al
though she survived her husband for
twenty years. it is said that she never
sat down to meal without having the
casket beside her In accordance with
her dying request the heart was placed
on her dead bosom previous to inter-
ment in her own abbey, which was sit
uated on the banks of the NTH.
When the great Napoleon died in St
Helena his heart was removed in order
that it might be placed in separate
case The doctor who removed ii set
it under glass case in his bedroom
During the night he was startled by
the sound Of breaking glass, and he
Just managed to prevent a large rat
from carrying of the heart to its hole
The heart was Immediately placed in
an urn and secured in the coffin beside
the body.
There would appear to be some doubt
as to what became Of Byron's heart
after his death. According to one ac-
count. II was lost in marsh in Greece
under the following circumstances: AS
ia we'll khpwn. the poet took deep in
terest in the efforts which the Greeks
were then making to secure their free
dom. His services were highly appre-
ciated by these people. and when he
died his relatives, who had resolved to
convey his body to England for burial.
were requested to leave his heart In
Greece.
The wish was complied With. and the
precious relic was placed in a silver
casket Mesolonghi was besieged. and
when the Greeks saw the impossibility
of warding off the attack a small party
made desperate sally, carrying of the
heart with them. They were successful
in cutting their way through the Turk
ish army, but were soon compelled to
conceal themselves in marsh. where
the heart which they had tried so hard
