He had purchased some books and stationery. his

of the dead girl the mantelpece to gaze out OF

sweet face in chalks, to return presently to the
window.

self all unhinged within a four
mile radius. David was in the
novice stage of first acquaint-
anceship with the magnetic life
of the worlds capital. Not yet
did the roar of London sing in
familiar harmOnieS: the crunch
of the Omnibuses, the jingle OF
the hansoms, made no music in
his ears. There was something
uncanny in the silence of the
millions eddying through the
streets. Where all else was
clamor, mankind was dumb,
save for the shouts of the news
boys, the jabber of bus-cOn-
ductors, the cries of itinerant
Venders.
Sc David, having dressed and
gone out, wandered into another
restaurant than that which he
was aiming for; dawdled over
the meal until the first act of
the play which he meant to
see must have been ended; and
decided then upon a music-hall:
finally, he strolled back toward
Eddystone Mansions as early
as eleven.
The elevator, placed in the
center of the building, ran from
the basement floor; those who
used it had to descend few
steps from the entrance and
advance along a passage. Har-

a salute.

one. George Winship is a prince

more. When Winship moved his
little printing plant into Grand

two wheeled bullock cart, people
little thought that that was the
beginning of the best and BRIGHT
TEST paper OF the entire state. Yet
such was the fact. The Herald
is fearless in it's policy and does
not cater to any particular
gang. That's why its business
and influence is growing day by
day. Long live the Herald.

bv some to be due to a sudden

this class of questions, 1t can be
said that fruit rot, sometimes
called black mold, is due to a
fungus and this particular tun'
gus is frequently accompanied
by others that hasten the decay.
This disease usually begins at
the blossom end. Smooth-iruit-
cd varieties are less subject to
the disease. Tying the vines

Governor Macdonald has done
wisely in calling especial attention.
in a public proclamation, to the COM
ing meeting of the National lrrigs-
ton Congress at Boise. He points
out the TACT that our agricultural
product exceeds that of our miner
and that the relative importance oi
the interests dependent in this state
on irrigation has vastly Increased
within few years.
A gathering such as the congress
to be held at Boise offers opportuni-
ties for conferences, between men in
terested in irrigation from many
different states. The problems i'll
one state are always somewhat differ
ent from those in another, and the
experience of one il often OF value
to others. Then the subject of the
laws governing the distribution of
water is most important one to all
the arid states.
1t would he good idea for the
Boise congress to get the attorney
general of Colorado, or some one OF
the lawyers here who are familiar
with the case, to give them an out
line of the Kansas Colorado water
case, 1t has many points which are
extremely important to every state
which uses water for irrigation.
Fovernor MacDonald's proclama-
tion ought to result in a larger dele.
cation from this state to the con-
gress, and more general interest
here in its proceedings.

FIND ENGLISH SPORTS DEADLY
Natives on the Zambesi Try Rowing
But Are Not Successful.


Wherever an Englishman finds his
way he leaves traces behind in the
form of his favorite sport or pastime
Civilization OF this kind has just
touched the Zambesi. and the natives
are reported TO have taken kindly to
n regatta.
Some of the events were interfered
with by what might be termed. local
elements. For example. the eight.oar
boat race was scarcely a conspicuous
success. owing to a stampede of ele-
plants into the water at the start.
AS a result. only one boat was left
to complete the course, and that one
was bitten in half by a hippopotamus
when about half-distance.
In the crocodile race a protest was
lodged in consequence Of the winning
reptile arriving home with his jockey
inside, having accidently swallowed
him for safety during a collision.
The natives engaged In the sailing
match fell in with an unfriendly tribe
half way down the river. and landed to
settle outstanding differences. This
happened two months ago. and II none
of the boats put in appearance before
the close of the year the time limit
clause will enable the committee to
cancel the race.
If the rate of mortality maintained
by the last regatta is upheld. statis-
ticians estimate that three more of
these riverside festivals may be held
before the tribe becomes extinct

Seeing Colorado.

Colorado, in the minds of eastern
people whose knowledge Of the state
may happen to depend solely on re-
ports brought them by friends who
have spent few days here must be
. most peculiar commonwealth in re-
spect to its natural resources, its
physical geography, and the char
scter of its people. 1t takes an ex-
perienced traveller to gain anything
like fair impression of locality
from single visit, and it apparent
ly takes a person of more than aver
age intelligence to realize that with
in the limits of few days or few
weeks he has not seen Colorado.
There are many pleasant things
said of the state by our summer visi-
tors when they return to their East
ern or Southern homes, but it is
sometimes rather aggravsting to
think that the man who has spent
two weeks only in the mountains re-
turns with the statement that the
only resources of the state are its
mines and its scenery and that the
principal occupation of its people is
supplying the wants of tourists. Let
the 1owau who stands on a rocky
point and declares that the whole
state is not worth one little section
OF Iowa remember that at the St.
Louis worlds fair Colorado won first
prize for its display OF fruits, sur
passing all other states in the Union
even California. Let him remember
that Greeley potatoes command the
highest price in cities rs far east as
Chicago; tina. Rocky Ford melons
are sold at premium in New York
City; that Grand junction peaches
are shipped by the carload to all
sections Of the East, and that the
seedless apple, the latest wonder OF
horticulturists, is also a Colorado
product.
We have not referred to the grain
fields Of northern Colorado; to the
wonderfully fertile farm lands of the
Arkansas valley; to the orchards of
Canon City; to the apricots and
plums of the Western Slope; to the
sugar beet fields nor to the livestock
interests of the state. In all of these
things Colorado can make a show
ing worthy of the attention and ad-
mirstion Of the expert farmer, and
yet the average visitor is aware of
none Of them.-Ex.
