by the pitiable envy that seems in
separable from any profession whose
reward is mainly reputation. It's
sense of subordination, too, had been
tried by tales. of sneering remarks
made by Gen. This or Col. That, and
1t firmly believed that much of Fred
Benton's present trouble was due to
the fact that he wouldn't stand hear

his fellow staff officers and his ROW
with Old Scoffer" had gone the round
Of the regiments, to the end that Fred
was now looked upon as hero and
champion, even by the Black Hats,
who rarely saw heroism in anybody,
who secuted the idea of needing a
champion and who pronounced one

were all afire at the idea of any one
abusing him, and there was wrath
and wonder in camp when it was
learned that by order of Stanton him
self Fred Benton was held in close
arrest, with the prospect, said rumor,
OF being sent to that so-called bastile

They may be compelled to sigh be-
times, but amid their sighs are smiles
that drive away their cares. They
fad sunbeains scattered In the trail Of
every cloud. They gather flowers
where others see nothing but weeds.
They pluck little springs Of rest where
others find only thorns of distress.
Like the human heart, they make
much of the little opportunities pre-
sented to them. They rest that they
may have strength for others, they
gather the sunshine with which to
dissipate the shadows about them.
The grandest conception of life is to
esteem it an opportunity for making

Mr.. Ketmode has. been sheriff Of
Montezuma county for the past three
years and has performed his duties SO
satisfactorily that he was again the
choice of the Democratic party and
Was nominated by them to succeed
himself. Mr.. Kermode is well known
in this county and his three years
Of experience will greatly help him in
performing his duties as sheriff. Every

CONSERVATION in young christians
means. the beautifyingi enriching and
sanctifying Of their youth. Jesus him
self waited thirty years in quiet before
he entered upon his public ministry.
His conservation led him to obey his
parents, to help in the carpenter shop,
and do the common duties that came
to his hands. There can be NO higher

OF that Court as it now exists and the
Court Of Appeals and the appointment
Of an additional Judge so rs to make
the number Of judges seven. There is
every probability that this amendment
will carry because both political parties
have endorsed it specifically in their
state platforms. II SO, the governor
will have the appointment Of two Of
these judges-of one to succeed Judge
Thompson of the Court of Appeals,
whose term expires during the coming
winter, and Of the additional seventh
Judge. 1t was Of course In the minds
OF the trainers Of the amendment and
Of the legislature which adopted 1t that
the governor elect would make such
appointments so that the people would,
at least indirectly, have some voice in
the selection. The amendment, how.
ever, does not SO provide in specific
terms. The oversight may be laid to
the fact that constitutional amends
ment goes into effect rs soon as the
vote upon 1t is canvassed and declared
favorable by the State Board of can
vassers which takes place only a short
time after the election, unlike the vote
for governor and other such officers
which must be canvassed and declared
by the legislature. The legislature
convenes on the first Wednesday i'm
January which In respect to the next
legislature will be january 4th, but
new state officers will not take their
positions under the law until the
second Tuesday which will be January
10th. Therefore, Whatever the result
of the election Governor Peabody Will
be the governor until the 10th day of
January. He would therefore have,
even though he might be defeated, the
intervening days between the 4th and
10th within which to appoint and have
confirmed by the senate these two new
judges Of the Supreme Court. The only
way to prevent this would be to have
Democratic senate; BECAUSE an ap-
pointment would be of no effect If not
confirmed by the senate. If, therefore,
you do not wish to see Supreme
Court filled with Peabody appointees
practically, or Mt least controlled by
them, you should by all means not
only vote for Alva Adams but also for
John j. Harris. If Governor Peabody
should have the opportunity to make
these appointments there will be up
OH the reorganized Supreme Court
three members appointed by him, and
Judge Campbell, making majority

tunity to change this for d period of

This Is the TIME bf year when dairy

Whenever the flow is checked through

change in the weather takes place,
particularly when cold wind is ac-
companied by rain, dairy cows should
be put under cover and made comforta-
BILE. People can regulate their CLOTH
ing to conform with the weather, but
not 80 with cattle, and every time the
cows are made to stand out exposed to
