The Way to Iake Life.

I smile at stupid men who cry
That life Ia out of gear.
Who 20 about with frown and sigh
And faces full of fear:
For I've had sorrows of my own
As dread as any ever known:
But when ] feel inclined to groan-
Why then ! ny to dreamland,
Where happy visions thronE.
Where souls are bright and hearts are
light,
And life is like song.
only strive to ,g!can the sweet,
Forgetfui of the cares
As farmers harvest but the wheat,
And thrust aside the tareA
And dark or sunny be the day.
! store for memory something gay.
And when grief comes across my way
Why then I'm on to dreamiand,
Where happy visions throng
Where souls are bright and hearts are
light.
And life Is like a sone.

The Brownlow bill which is now
pending in congress, appropriates
S24,000,O00 as National aid for
the building of wagon roads. This
money is to be distributed accord
ing to the population of each of
the states except that the states
having less than 100000 people
are to receive a minimum amount
of S250,000. Each state, county
or town receiving National aid
must add like amount. This
will result in the spending of $751;
100000 for the building of wagon
roads and will build from 100 to
500 miles of road in every state of
the union.

ton, than taere is among their en-
ployers.
There is too much of disposi-
ton prevalent at the present time
to emphasize the faults and mis-
takes of both sides and to embitter
the strife that should not prevail at
all.
The only government that can
endure is one that is impartial and
for the interest and protection of
all classes. The only system upon
which peaceful industry can be Or
ganized and maintained is that of
fairness toward capital and labor,
and due regard for the interest of
the general public.-Pueblo Chief

vestment and toll with the railroad
company is a little more than a
fair arrangement. They cannot
understand why it should cost
nearly ten times as much to haul a
car of fruit from Grand Junction
to Denver, less than 400 miles as
it does from California to Grand
Junction, over 1000 miles. In
other words they want to have the
interstate commerce commission
officially inform them why Califor
MIA fruit growers have to pay only
ten cents per hundred more for
fruit to eastern points than they
do, and to disinterested looker-on
it does seem to need explanation.
To be sure the Colorado fruit
when shipped east is rebilled with
in the state, SO that it appears on
ly as state shipment, but if that
was the intent of the w,why does
not the law indicate it in some
way?
1t is freely charged in many
communities in Colorado shipping
large quantities of the products of
this state that the freights paid to
the railroads just about equal the
amounts returned to the producers.

LITTLE MIRRORS THE BEST.
Large Glasses Do Not Reflect as Well
as the Small Ones,

In the mirrors Of to-day the light Is
reflected by a layer of silver or an
ar1algam Of tin, but a proportion OF
light is lost in the process Of reflec.
ticn. and the image is less luminous
than the original. The value Of a
L l@oking-glass is usually estimated by
the thickness Of the glass be
cause the thicker 1t is the stronger
1t must be. But speaking scientifical
ly thick glasses are defective. because
the outlines Of the image rejected are
less clearly defined. An ideal mirror
is one with a pert .ct!y nat surface.
But 1t is only possible TO obtain this
result in comparatively small glasses.
The larger glasses do not reflect true
