"In the early days of Wyoming,
when there were but few churches
and many infractions of law. a man
of the name of Barstow, who never
knew fear and was devout Christian,
was elected to the office of sheriff"
said a citizen Of that state. "Soon
after Barstow entered upon the duties
of his office man was convicted for
capital crime
THE fact that there was no minister
within reach preyed upon the mind of
the sheriff, who undertook to supply
the lack by holding an hours Bible
reading in the condemned mans cell
and praying with him. AS the time
for the hanging approached Barstow
became possessed with the fear that
he had not acquitted himself of the
spiritual responsibility devolying upon
him and devised 4 programme that
was new and unique After the victim
of the laws mandate was placed upon
the platform and everything was in
readiness the sheriff prayed long and
fervently. Then he called fer some one

The feminine direct descendants of
the famous Aztees are tiny creatures,
exquisitely formed and refined in fea-
ture. They carry the head with the up
bearing grace of the full blooded In
dian; their skins are not red, but a
clear, smooth copper color that shines
like gold in the sun; their hair is
coarse and black as ebony, and they
are decorated with bright feathers and
gay ornaments. These women make
the most wonderful pottery that comes
to us from Mexico, for they have kept
the old Aztec forms and decorations in
their art, and they also weave WONDER
full baskets and do exquisite embroid-
cry.
