Progress Of American Press.

In addition to its other distinctions
the year 1904 marks the completion of
two centuries since the first American
newspaper was started, says Leslie's
Weekly. That paper was the Boston
News Letter, whose publisher and
editor was the postmaster of that
town. Although the News Letter con
sisted of Il sheet of only inches by
1917, printed on both sides, 1t was the
only paper that England's colonies in
the new world had for over decade
and half. Philadelphia got the sec
Cnd paper established in America and
New York got the third. All these
were technically weeklies, but often
in the early days there were intervals
of two or three weeks between their
successive appearances. The first
daily paper in the new world was the
American Daily Advertiser, printed i'll
Philadelphia. After nearly Il century
had elapsed since the first newspaper
appeared on this continent-or in 1900
there were only fifteen dailies and
100 weeklies in the United States.
The contrast between those days
and to-day is striking. There are a.
600 newspapers and periodicals of all
sorts-weeklies, semi-weeklies, tri-
weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies-
published in the United States in 1904,
OF which 2,4OO are dailies and 10000
weeklies. Any one or two or three
OF New York's daily papers of 1904
has a larger circulation than did all
the daily and weekly papers published
in the United States in 1904

Rigby stayed on the road. He Stunned
the theater and closed his eyes to the
racing news. But he sold goods and
wrote regularly to the senior member
of the firm.
"Rigby's got the trade in Pennsyl-
vania by the boot straps and pulling
on it to beat the band" observed
Johnson to his partner one day-in
the presence of the brown-eyed
stenographer. HE is surely trying to
make record"
And the little stenographer, under
cover of her typewriter desk, gave
loving pat to a fat order Rigby had
just sent In.
1t was summer before Rjgby put the
question again, and fall before the
wedding day was set. Rigby protest

Rigby sighed resignedly.
"All right, but tell me just one
thing, Belle, dear. why did you watch
me so closely the day Johnson asked
me If there wasn't some girl l could
marry In a hurry?"
"Because-because- and the

THE FELLOW THAT'S DOING HIS BEST.

You may talk of your battle SCARED heroes,

But there's another think just worthy
The fellow that's doing his best.
He doesn't wear gold braid and tinsel
Nor ride on the waves highest crest
But he's always where duty demands him
This fellow that's doing his best
No trumpet blare tells of his coming,
For fame he Is in quest
But he's always hero, this fellow
Who is always found doing his best.
And I'm sure in the day of the Judgment
When many shall fail at the test
Therell he one who will pass without trouble
The fellow that's doing his best.
And the gates of the hea venly city.
The beautiful home of the best
Will swing wide for my hero to enter

COLLEGE FRANKS.
Those of English Students Are Worse
Than in This Country.


Than in This Country.
American students are hardly up to
the British standard in the playing of
college pranks. Not long ago on a
wager a freshman of Trinity College,
Cambridge, dressed in his sisters
clothes and called on the head of the
college to complain that "her brother"
was being brutally ill-treated by the
college authorities. He was, so ''she"
asserted, overworked, underfed and
cruelty fogged.
The benevolent old head-a man
much more sinned against than sim
ning-listened to these charges in help
less amazement
But, my dear young lady" he
exclaimed.
Thereupon "she' burst into a storm
Of sobs and would not be comforted.
His proteStations of innocence only
made her" weep the more copiously.
The dear old man never had a worse
quarter of an hour.
The following week he saw the
Freshman play a woman's part in a
comedy and the truth slowly dawned
upon him. Meanwhile, the Freshman
had collected the bet and spent the
money in a party" which ended in
half dozen students trying to fight
the police force of Cambridge and
spending the night in Jail.
The old 'town and gown riots,
which used to be such a strenuous
feature of life in English universities,
seldom occur nowadays, but there was
one in Oxford not many years ago
which ragged for three days and nights
uninterruptedly. Over 500 policemen
were eventually required to restore the
peace. Houses and shops were wreck
ed and many a townsman and gowns
man had to be patched up in the local
hospitals afterward.
Being an ardent politician, it is nat
ural that the undergraduates should
make the college elections, which are
fought on political lines. exceedingly
lively affairs. Some of the leading
universities return members of Parlia-
ment to represent them in the House
of Commons, but they are elected by
the dOns and graduates without much
fuss and excitement. The real fun is
over the election of the chancellor, the
lord rector, or whatever the honorary
head of the university may be called,
for in that election the undergradu-
ates take a hand.
This position is sought by the great.
est men in the land-men of the cal
iber of Gladstone, Salisbury, Morley
and Balfour. And they are willing to
go through a most severe ordeal tc
win it.
A great statesman who sways the
House of Commons and helps to shape
the destines of Europe goes election
eering among mob of yelling college
boys. and they think nothing of pelt
ing him with red ochre, bluing and rot
ten eggs If he happens to be of the
opposite political stripe. Election day
is always a wild pandemonium in 9
university town. Wise people stay al
home and put up the shutters.

TWO BOYS DROWN
One Near Berthoud, the Other
at Windsor Lake.

Sharon j. Thompson a l4-year-old
son of James Thompson, well-to-
do ranchman of Windsor, was
drowned in Windsor reservoir Sun
day. The boy in company with a
man was fishing near the dam, when
he moved away from his companion,
saying he was going little further
away for some other variety of fish.
He was wading, being attired In
shirt only. His companion missed
him shortly and search established
the fact that he had stepped into a
deep hole excayated when the dam
was made. The body was recovered
in about an hour and was buried
Tuesday.
Herbert Saltzman, aged l3, son Of
Alex Saltzman, a ranchman living
about four miles southeast of Berth
oud, was drowned Monday after
noon while swimming in lake near
his home. He was accompanied by
two other youths, who made an effort
to save him. His body has been re-
covered. According to his chums,
the boy had dived from the bank and
on coming up shrieked once and
drowned before he could be reached.
Coroner Macy went over and decided
that no inquest was necessary.

Another Burned Child.

There seems no probability of edu.
eating people away from the use of
kerosene for startling fires. The lat
est victim of the habit is Olga Olson,
the l4-year.old daughter Of Ole o.
son, living two and a half miles
west Of Platteville, who Sunday was
fatally burned.
The child was alone in the house
with her invalid sister. She at.
tempted to start the fire for dinner
by pouring kerosene on 1t from the
can. The can exploded, covering
her with oil. She ran outside of the
house and threw herself into ditch
to put out the flames.
They were not extinguished, how.
ever, until the child was badly
burned about the limbs. Her father
and an older brother who were
working in the yard went to her
rescue. On being asked why she ran
out OF the house she said she did not
want TO frighten her sick mother.
VINO was sleeping in the room ad.
joining the kitchen.
Although suffering greatly, the

TIRED AND HAPPY
Tribuue's Eldora Excursion the
Biggest One Yet.

The last and best Of the band ex'

Friday to Eldora and return, taxing

Roulder. 1t was record breaker
in point of numbers, over 800 persons
taking advantage OF the opportunity
to get into the mountains FOR oay'
We believe no one was disappointed
in the grandeur of the trip, though
brief showers made it uncomfortable
for those In the open cars, and de-
layed the train so that the time at
Eldora and Glacier Lake was cut
shorter than anticipated. Inc
dancing at the Pavilion and the
band music served to break up the
time so that thoroughly enjoyable
day was had, and the Iriouhe
scored another success.
There was not a single casualty
or mishap to mar the trip, and
everybody returned home tired, but
satisfied, little before midnight.
One hundred and tifty-four went
from Greeley, "a from Windsor, 1
from Timnath, 73 from Fort COL
lins, 10 from Loyeland, 4 from Ber-

Eaton last Saturday by William
Bell, also colored, and is now in a
hospital in Denver and will recover

attentions Carey was paying his
wife, who is but Is years of age.
Carey has been travelling with a
medic ne show. Mrs. Bell consulted
the doctor who owns the show and

handled by the manager and one
hired man, with extra help at mar
vest time. But they keep working
all the year around. They plow up
their stubble the day the wheat is
cut. The plow follows Immediately
after the binder, cutting a furrow
seven inches deep, and the plow is
followed by subsLrface packer-an
implement similar in shape to disk
pillow, except that it has ten wheels
which cut into the soil and press 1t
together.
The packer follows the plow very
slowly. All ground plowed is
packed before quitting work for din
ner or for the night. After the
packer harrow is used to smooth
the ground down. During the sum-
mer the ground is narrowed after
each rain and kept in good condition
until the wheat is sown in Septem-
Der. When the wheat is four or five
inches high the ground is worked
over with a harrow having round,
blunt teeth. but only after rainfall
never when the ground is dry. Mr..
Campbell does not keep the same
ground in the same kind OF crops
every year. Ground planted in
wheat this year will be allowed to
remain idle or planted in some light
crop next year; the idea being to
keep it we'll cultivated and the vege-
tation killed.
The Gospel Union of Cheyenne
Wells furnishes good illustration
of dry farming. This institution
was founded by Mr.. Sears, surveyor
of that town. who has socialistic
ideas as we'll as strong Methodist
principles, and is endeavoring to
carry them out in small way.
Sears got a quarter section Of land
to work on shares with God and put
it in wheat. The neigbbors ridi-
culed the idea, and, indeed, for the
first part of the season the field
iOOktu very poOl, Due oooAS was INV
discouraged and in reply to the jests
Of his neighbors he said:
You fellers never mind. I'm
workin' that field on shares with the
Lord. I've done my part of i. the
work, and He'll do His. Eff He
don't want that 'er wheat He doubt
lacc hos uic roaSOpS -
The crop came out all right. Sears
got 900 bushels of wheat and with
the proceeds started cooperative
society, working farm and raising
a bunch of cattle on shares, with
God as half-partner. The Sunday
school children have put in their
pennies and have done their share Of
the. work, drawing out their shares
of the dividends, besides contribut-
ing money from the earnings to help
build church and support a preacher
and assisting missionaries in the
foreign field, although, goodness
knows, there is plenty for mission
aries to do in this part Of the
country without hunting the heather
elsewhere.
