HEARD IN PASSING.

It may be different with Mrs Sage,
 but it is thought her late husband would probably have found some way to make money out of those thou sands of begging letters.-Meriden Journal.
 Seaman, the new funny man" of London Punch, has taken to lectur- ing in private houses. Doubtless he was not sure Of his ground and re- called the generous offer of Ameri- ca's first humorist, Artemus Ward, to call at the homes of those of his au- dience who couldn't see through his jokes and explain their intricacies in detail.-New London Globe.
 Upon the result of this falls cleo. tions will largely depend the possibil- ity of a campaign of tariff revision in congress this winter. A few whole some jolts administered to the stand patters, whose obstinacy outruns their wisdom, would be wonderfully beneficial to the cause of a square deal in tariff matters.-New Britain Herald. F
 Japanese journals publish in large type statement that owing to the unsettled state. of Siberia and the constant disturbances in European Russia the St Petersburg authorities find 1t impossible to remove the troops from northern Manchuria within the prescribed period of eigh- teen months.

 Not to renominate Secretary Bo- denwein would be gross ingratitude on the part of the republicans after his so happily dubbing them the trustee party.-Bridgeport Farmer.
 The Panama canal commission has reelected J. B. Bishop as its secre- tary and press. agent at a salary of s10,000. This is, the presidents friend, whose nomination as a mem Der of the commission the senate turned down and over the extrava- gant salary paid him as press agent both branches of congress entered vigorous protest at the last session. The action of the commission. there fore, looks very much like slap in the face, for that body, while not en- tirely free from the. scent of a grating job.-Fall River Globe.

The Average Man Can't Do It, a
 Hotel Clerk Declares.

The act passed at the recent ses- sion of congress permitting the use Of alcohol in the arts and industries free of tax will go into effect Janu- ary l, 1907. The passage of the act, naturally, has created much interest in industrial circles, and numerous inquiries have been received by the several executive departments of the government in regard to it. Regula- tions for denaturing are in course of preparations by the treasury depart ment, and officers of that department are Investigating conditions under which the work is carried on in for eign countries. Professor Charles E. Lucke of the Columhia.. university, New York, is to make. an investiga- tion for the department Of agricul- ture of the possibilities of alcohol as fuel. It is expected that large quan- titles of denatured alcohol will be used for that purpose in small en. zines, automobiles and motor boats. The result of Professor Lucke's ex- periments, as we'll as those that have been carried on in foreign countries, will be collected and published. Per sons who have patented vaporizers, carburettors or complete engines, which it is desired to test, may send the apparatus to Professor Lucke at New York. The tests will be con- ducted without expense to the own CTS of machines. except that for transportation. rs .-y .--

 Among these are certain of the moon flowers. notably Ipomoea pam durata, which is said to be able to withstand a years drought without injury. The foliage is attractive. and 1t bears an immense quantity of creamy white flowers of a thick, waIy texture. Once established, 1t covers an immense amount of space, and for this reason should be given liberal room when planting.
 Another vine which thrives In hot, sunny situations Is the Coboea scsn- ders. This. while not hardy. being started each spring from seed sovn In house or hotbed, is 60 rapid a grower that 1t will cover quite as much space as 6 perennial vine. When grown on stone wall or on trees the tendrils cling to anything within reach.
 The blossoms are large and giox- inio-like. and change in color from the gresn,sh white of the newly opened flower through shades of law vencer, mauve and purple ss the flowers develop. ending at last In the deepest wine ere the flower fades.

Imaginary Dlseases.

Only an imaginary remedy can cure an imaginary disease. This may be condemned by the righteous as quackery, and Quackery of . kind 1t undoubtedly Is.

FOOTBALL SEASON CLOSES
WITH THANKSGIVING GAME

The football season of the local high
school closes with tomorrow's game
with Florence. While 1t Is seldom
safe to figure things on dope" Canon
ought to land the game by safe mar
gin. The visitors have the advantage
of knowing Canon's style OF play,
while the Florence style of play Is un-
known to the home team. Moreover.
Florence will bring up the pick OF two
teams, one the regular high school
team and the other a team from the
eighth grade of the FiorenceCentral
grade school, while the local team has
only kept out three or four substitutes
during the season. On the other hand
Canon has veteran team that has al
ready demonstrated its ability to more
than hold Its own against unknown
styles of play, fact that should easily
Offset the practice which the two Flor
ence teams have had with each other.
Fridays Record will give complete
history of the games played this sea-
son.
Tomorrow's line up will be the fol-
lowing:

1t is distinctly an agricultural sec
ton, having many thousands of acres
of farms. 1t looks like the farming
sections of the Eastern States.
Farmers raise good deal of alfalfa.
For years there was so much alfalfa
produced that it was almost worth
less.
A few years ago farmers and stock
growers began to ship In lambs, feed
them alfalfa for few months and
ship them on to the Chicago and East
ern markets. Cheap feed made this a
profitable business and many went in
to 1t. Now they feed also the pulp
from the sugar beet factories.
Lambs are bought In the fall in
New Mexico and Wyoming, fed during
the winter and shipped In the spring.
Fort Collins and Greeley will each
feed and ship million dollars worth
Of lambs this year.
The sugar beet has added much
value to that section. There are north
Of Denver about eight sugar beet fac
tories. These pay out to the farmers
for sugar bests each year from s4oo.-
