The recent session of the NJ. E. con-

for the place aroused much enthusi-
asm by reason Of his having been
for many years a resident of Colorado.

This Fair association desires that in

One Of the signal achievements of
the recent conference vas the creation
Of the new district with Rev. Piffer,
of Denver. as presiding elder. The
new division will be known ~ the
North Denver district and will include
Cripple Greek, Victor, Florence, Canon
City, Salids and a score OF less impor-
tant places. Canon City is nearer the
geographical center of the district than
almost any other place and it would be
more convenient for the presiding ell
der in making a tour OF visitation
among the churches committed to his
charge to make his home here than at
any other point
s. R. McLsin, A. Il. White and 2. R.
Broughton visited the conference as
committee from the local church and
asked that Rev. J. B. Cook he reap
pointed to his present psstorats. The
committee was successful in its mis-
sion and Rev. Cook was appointed to
the pastorate Of the church here for
another year. A pleasing incident of
the conference was the presentation OF
handsome loving cup to Bishop
Moore.

The house is kind o. restless now.
The old cat purrs bit
And then gets lonesome for chance
To arch her back and spit.
There are no footmarks on the floor,
The parlor's dark and cool,
And not a door slams anywhere,
Since Willie went to school.
The old dog loiters at the cato
And whimpers all In vain
For someone who will bid him bark
Ana pull his ears again.
Great wisdom's purchased at great cost,
It's life's stubborn rule.
We feel we help to pay the price,
When Willie goes to school.

work Of Men who Clear Wharves
and ships Of the Deatruc-
tive Pests.

Rat and roach catching at the steam
n wharyes and on ocean liners is one
Of the queer ways men have OF making
q living. says the New York Tribune.
A good living they make Of 1t, too;
not less than $4,000 year, and some
times more.
Rats are everywhere on the wharVes,
but reaches have special liking foi
rope lockers, and here they swarm BY
tens Of thousands unless owners OF the
piers have a contract with the rat ano
roach catcher.
Before men went into the business Of
rat and roach catching cats we're kept
to look after the rats and the sailors
had the job Of keeping the ship clear
OF reaches.
The sailors favorite way of catching
reaches was TO put "cob" Of bread on
top Of coil Of rope In very few
minutes it would be covered with hun
cry brown bugs, and these they knocked
into a well-greased biscuit pan. The
grease kept the reaches from crawling
up the sides Of the pan, and the sailor
was poor at the business who did not
have four or five inches Of reaches when
be was through Then in few days
be could begin and do it all over again.
Now the professional roach catcher
takes one night to do the work for a
year.
On this side of the Atlantic roach
catching is the more important business,
while on the other side the wharyes are
almost as full OF rat catchers as the
ships are Of rats.
Every time an ocean liner reaches
port, whether on this side or thy
other. it is turned over to these men.
The cats that are always aboard steam
ars and around the wharyes do much
toward keeping them clear OF rats, but
of course have no effect on reaches.
There was time when rat catchers
worked with ferrets, but this method has
been superseded BY chemicals. Large
cagelike traps gre used, in which lettuce
caves are placed after being sprinkled
with liquid-only the rat catcher
