gentlemen went forward on foot. They came
to spot where the road was flooded to a con-
siderable depth. The Emperor called a road
laborer and asked him if he would undertake
TO carry him through the water. why not?"
said the laborer, who took the monarch in his
arms and conveyed him safely across. The
Emperor gave him a couple of gold-pieces,
and whispered, ''Now go and fetch the other
gentleman. But when you get halfway
through the water. stand still and ask him
how much he intends TO give you" The man
did as he was told, stood still with his living
load. and inquired in the middle of the water
how much he was TO get for his labor. You
rascal" cried the miser, the other gentleman
paid for us both. l saw him, you impudent
swindler! You shall not have another farth-
ing" What is he going to stand" called
out the Emperor Nothing. Then throw
him into the water" The laborer was about
TO do so: but his intended victim held on
tightly. and exclaimed, 81 will give you three

EMPEROR. laughing. And now began most
comical scene. The terrified rider clung still
more closely to his bearer, whom the En-
neror BY his gestures, encouraged TO remain
firm The rage and terror depicted In the
features of the miser were indescribably ludi-
.-ous fbe Emperor meanwhile urging him to
r,ne on without delay ''Well, now" ex-
cIained the grand dignitary. at last. ftcarry
me across. l win pay you when we get there"
Don't you trust him, called the Emperor,
nearly dying with laughter; make him pay

eier had. while hanging there over the water,
to bring out his pocketbook and hand the
countryman the three hundred rubles.

denly heard loud and prolonged kissing,
which some of them took to be the cries of
person in distress, who had perhaps fallen
into the drain at one of the open points.
Redonnet, the foreman of the gang, thought.
however that the strange noise was caused by
evil-doers, who probably hiding in the
sewers from the police; so he took up his
shovel and marched boldly toward the spot
whence the sounds proceeded. After having
proceeded considerable distance, he saw by
the dim light of the sewer lamps an enormous
boaconstrictor coiled around one of the water
ducts, with its head protruding toward him.
Redonnet Immediately stunned the reptile
with a vigorous blow from his shovel, and, his
workmen having come up, the whole party
set to work until they battered the life out Of
the ill-fated and imprudent boa. The remains
of the reptile were then carefully collected
and borne in triumph to the surface of the
earth, and thence to the nearest police sta
ton, where, it appears, the boa was wanted"
as it had managed to escape from the menage-
rie of a wandering Snowman.

as well as truthful articles concerning
Colorado, her resources and her peo-
pie, places the average wealth of Col
oradoans at *2, 7sO per capita which
though seeming enormous. Denverites

of the state. 1t is probable that in

The Truth About Water Rilhfs

Concerning the question of water
rights and the erroneous notion which
a great many people still cling to, viz ::
that an adjudication to water guaran-
tees to the appropriation an absolute
and unqualified ownership to that
water to do with it whatsoever the ap-
proprietor pleases, the following re-
marks by "Ante- Meridian" the sage
brush philosopher of the Yampa Leader
are especially pertinent:
During this unusual scarcity of
water for irrigation in some sections
of the country, it is we'll to bear in
mind the moral rights of your neigh
bors. Don't hog all the water in
the stream, whether you need it or not
just because your priority Of right
gives it to you, when your nei ghbor' g
crops are suffering for small portion
of it. With little care and for
bearance, there is ample water in the
streams of Egeria park to properly ir-
rigate all the land in cultivation, and
some Of these times the state officials
will see to it that greater care and
economy are exercised in the use of
the states water. Remember you do
not own the water-not drop of it
1t belongs to the public. You have
simply right to the beneficial use Of
so much of it as is needed for the
proper growing of agricultural crops.
1t has been adjudged for this district
that one cubic foot of water per second
of time is ample for the irrigation of
60 acres of land in cultivation, and
that is all that will be allowed during
shortage of water, it matters not
what amount your decree may call
for. The water commissioner has a
right, and it is made his duty, to as
certain if any water is being wrong
fully or wastfully used by any appro-
priator to the injury of other users in
his district. This priority of right to
the use of water, of which " . hear so
many boast, will not be PERMITTED to
be abused.

THE GOOD ROADS convention
held in Denver this week should re-
suit in reat benefit to Colorado. for,
aside from irrigation there is scarce
ly subject of more Importance to
the people of the state than that of

1t is to be hoped the delegates to the

WE ARE NOW threatened with
the withdrawal of so, 900 acres of the
Uintah Indian reservation and Just as
hundreds and even thousands of home
seekers are preparing to take advan-
tage of what they believe to be a
golden opportunity to secure a farm
Secretary Richards comes out with a
statement to the effect that the lands
of the reservation are not the best
lands in Utah as they have been re-
ported and that great many poor
men will be doomed to disappoint-
ment and will separate themselves
from money which they can but lily
spare. The Post believes that many
Colorado people on their way to the
new Mecca will pass almost in sight
of Colorado lands much superior to
anything they would secure in the
new reservation even if given first
choice. However, that old truism
about experience as teacher, is still
in force, and lard allotments will
always be popular before the allot-
ment is made. Afterwards-well,

SATURDAY. JULY 80, 1905.
ENFORCE OR REPEAL LICENSES

The city council of Colorado Springs
is after the drug stores of that city
which are little better than saloons
in disguise and within the last week
has revoked the licenses of two of
these joints and the others are in
great danger of losing their permits.
In this action the council is to be
commended if the facts are correctly
reported The ordinance of that city
providing for the sale of liquors by
drug stores holding licenses is liberal
enough and should be enforced The
druggists took advantage of their per-
mits and went beyond all reasonable
bounds and now they are reaping the
penalty which close observers have
for many years predicted would be
their portion. For thirty five years
that city has been governed with the
idea that public sentiment was op-
posed to saloons and from recent in
vestigations it is very plain that the
people oppose the conversion of drug
store into saloon.
The question is not one of temper
ance altogether Men have made and
men have sold liquor since the world
began and the traffic will probably
continue as long as the men who in
sist on drinking the stuff are suffi-
ciently numerous to make traffic in
the same the profitable business which
it is today. But that is not the ques-
tion at issue If the council of Colo
RADIO Springs desire to pass straight
prohibition ordinance they have a
right to do so and should severely
punish all whom they can convict of
violating the same. But if they
choose to issue permits for the
restricted sale of liquor they should
insist that the conditions of the con-
tract be complied with and the pres
ent council seems to be composed of
men who do not hesitate to insist that
contr icts shall be respected.
The trouble seems to be that drug
gists have been securing restricted per
init and have then construed it with
the most reckless liberality and now
the authorities insist that these fel-
lows carry out their end of the agree
msnt or forfeit it altogether.

Agricultural Notes and Hints

II III Just tne same olu story every
spring-nice folks with garden they
have worked hard to plant and the nice
neighbor across the road with no gar
den and lot Of old hens, the misera BILE
alternative being a fuss with the good
neighbor or ruined garden. We have
got so that we do not hesitate to have
the fuss. as all hands feel better after
1t is over and we save our garden.
Alfalfa is redeeming much Of the
waste land Of western Kansas and Ne
braska. With alfalfa have come the COW
and the hog, and these three things
form a tripod upon which to rear a
very profitable agriculture. Corn Is a
good thing. but corn without alfalfa is
not as safe proposition as alfalfa
without corn. Where both can be
grown on the same farm there Is the
best combination in America.
One fact worth studying by Ameri-
can farmers Is that the Danish farmers
are able to buy our corn, bran and OIL
meal. ship 1t 5000 miles and feed Dan
ish cows and then control the English
butter market at a price from to 4
cents above the best prices American
butter will bring. II you are in the
dairy business and happen to run
across Dane, talk with him, for he
knows lot more about dsirying than
you do.
We regard the butcher bird or shrike
- o$ h,,,h ,hon
brigand among our birds. While he
catches some mice and grasshoppers he
also likes the callow young in the nests
Of other birds and will not infrequent-
" attack and kill the old birds. II one
will note the thorn bushes and barbed
wire fences In the vicinity Of the nests
Of the butcher bird he will find plenty
Of evidence on the barbs and thorns of
the fact that this bird rightfully en-
Joys a bad reputation.
In the coming years that land which
will produce large crops Of corn is
going to be the highest priced land in
the United States. The corn area of the
country is limited at best being con
fined to a few of the north central
states. and. with the exception of the
Argentine, there is no foreign country
which can ever develop corn growing
section. In connection with this fact Is
the constantly growing demand for
corn, not only for domestic consump-
ton. but an ever increasing foreign de-
mand for It as food supply for the
rye eaters Of Europe.
The sweet corn canneries Of the
west are quite generally going into the
business Of raising their own corn,
finding 1t impossible to get the farm
srs tributary to the cannery to raise
sufficient for them. In some cases the
land is rented, in others bought. This
u rather to be wondered at, for no crop
u q surer or more certainly profitable
one than 4 crop Of sweet corn. which
can be sold at IS per ton to q local
cannery. 1t will return so an acre for
the ears, the fodder Is worth IS more II
properly cured, the labor item in its
production Is small and 1t draws lightly
on the soil. 1t gives a value of con-
siderably over 500 per acre to any
land where 1t may be grown and dis.
posed of as above indicated.
