were drunk?' The prisoner answered
that he hadn't taken drink for more

"That's not true" replied his honor.

Women; /; Men; Marriage.
RALEIGH R. WHITE,

Life is for work, profit and pleasure.
The Bible is the only text book setting
forth success. From it we learn the
mode, estimate the sacrifice to be made,
and the pleasure to be secured. In
order to do this intercourse with each
other is necessary, for man cannot
progress without contact with man.
Plans may be formed, but effort will
be suppressed often by unseen but
irresistible force unless human coun-
sci, confidence and love are concreted
in the execution of purpose.
The opportunity in nature or grace
addresses both women and men. One
is not minor and the other major in
the law of providence. United in mar
riage they are lone flesh" in the peace.
prosperity and happiness to be won.
Together they should stand in sympa-
thy and love, bound by ties stronger
than steel, and as durable as life. The
life of both are open to a mild and low
ing criticism by each. other, because
alike they need friendly assistance.

Ifthey are not friends their want of
friendship leaves them friendless and
proves the nexible law failure.
have often wondered why all mar
riages were not continued pleasure.
1t is because they believe that one has
secured a hero and the other a heroine
and under this excitement they fail to
determine what the future will be by
calculating the real worth of each
other. 1t Is criminal not to weigh the
value of the one you propose to marry.
Not in the scales of fairy immagiaa-
ton, but in the estimate of ability,
yeracity, character, health and general
department.
Do not marry a man on whom no
one but yourself Is willing TO tie a blue
ribbon. Men of trained minds are in
demand in business, and mental slug
CARDS will not be employed. Those
who marry ought to be able to prove
that they know how to attend to busi.
dess. a woman has no use for house
who cannot keep IL neat apd entertain
her visitors in cheerful sweetness. A
man has no use for a wife who does
not make her happy by his love and
his success in business. Certainly n0
woman wishes to marry man who
has not proven himself to be n gentle
man aud capable of supporting her
Love demands something worthy of
love. u
Marriage is always right and true,
If love and merit influence you.
1t brings to those sweet perfume;
In profit of work pleasures renew.
When marriage forms an unworthy tie
1t doth reveal the blackest lie.
Then let the purpose he right and true,
Or marry NOT | fprewnrp Won.

and most interesting and valuable
display of minerals in the Mines
and Metallurgy building, says w.
+. Brindley, Colorado is represent
ed at the Lewis and Clark exposi-
tion in manner that is credit to
the state.
With an appropriation of $4,000
and a large amount of available
exhibit material, Colorado has a
$50, 900 showing. The agricultural
display is most attractively ar
ranged; the grains in straw being
shown in upright cases lined with
black velvet, and the threshed
grains and grasses in inverted glass
jars on an octagonal pyramid which
occupies the center of the pavilion.
More than 1000 exhibitors are
represented in Colorado's agricult-
pral display, which contains more
grains and grasses in straw and
threshed than any other single ex-
hibit at the fair.
OF the grains and grasses in
straw, there is timothy six feet tall,
with heads nine and a half inches
long; red top grass four and a half
feet tall; wheat that grew to
height of six feet, two inches;
spring rye only halt foot shorter,
and some wonderful cliff-dwellers'
wheat, known also as seyen-head
wheat, the original seed for which
was found in the tombs of cliff
dwellcrs in southwestern Colorado.
OF the threshed grains shown in
the inverted glass jars, there is
hull-less barley, that runs fifty
bushels to the acre; oats that runs
48 pounds to the bushel, hull-less
oats. valuable for making break
fast foods, ETC., that grow As

1t is now time to think of sowing n
clover crop III the orchard as an extra
precaution against damage to the roots
by winter freezing. The roots of trees
are not SO likely to be injured in an
orchard when clover crop is spread
over the ground in severe wintry
weather as when bare of all vegetation.
In our occasional severe winters this
Is very plainly seen, especially when
the trees have been heavily loaded
with fruit. Nature always endeavored
to keep the soil covered with vegeta-
tion of some kind and the more closely
we follow the more sure are we to
secure best results. 1t requires little
more moisture however to grow two
crops than one. A few careful exper-
imemts will convince anyone that
dame nature knows what she is about,
This is the time of year to seed an
orchard to clover crop and for this pur-
pose half a dozen things may he EN-
ployed such as rape, the vetches,
lupines, cowpeas, soybeans or even
clover or alfalfa while we know one
man who runs to turnlps every year
and the pigs do the harvesting and
