Memorials to Pioneer.

Although civilization has reached 4
stage in this country where extensive
cities have grown up in every section.
we are frequently reminded Of our
comparative youth by events like the
Pixies peak centennial celebration. Re
Gently a movement was started to
erect a monument to the pioneer Nor
wegian who came over in 1921 to spy
out the land for his people, Kleng
PeersOn. AS result Of Persons visit
a vast region has been settled by his
countrymen. Pixies peak was an old
landmark on the map when the first
band Of Persons followers put the ak
to the forest, but before it stood for
anything more than mere tradition in
fact the Norwegians had cleared a viii.
derness and built cities. The noun
tain range from which the peak rises
was barrier to repel all but the bold
est spirits. and for nearly half a CEN
fury after Lieutenant Pixies exploit the
tide of westward emigration stopped
eastward of it almost thousand miles.
Men and women, who are not vet
passed middle age can remember when
the traveller who had so much as seen
Pixies peak from the distance was look
ed upon as a wonder. The man who
claimed to have crossed the Rockies"
would need to show credentials or be
set down as Munchausen. Finally
gold and silver mines peopled the re-
giOn and made 1t famous, and mean
while towns and cities sprang up be-
yond 1t looking from the eastward, ter
ritories were formed, states created.
Less than fifty years ago Colorado had
no further evidences Of civilized set
Element than a few fur trading posts,
and all about the peak was wildness.
not to say savagery. Today 1t locke
down upon scenes of beauty, order and
thrift. The interval saw the coming
and the passing Of those pioneers of
whom Hamlin Garland wrote:
They rise to mastery Of wind and snow,
They go like soldiers grimly into strife
To colonize the plain: they pillow and SOW
And fertilize the sod with their own life
As did the Indian and the buffalo.

Sirius and the Sun.

A new estimate of the comparative
amount of light received on the earth
from the sun and from the brightest
(apparenD fixed star in the heavens.
Sirius, has been made by Mr.. Ceraski
Of the Astronomical observatory of
Moscow. The sun, according to his
estimate, sends us about 17,OOO,OOO.OOO
times as much light as Sirius does.
But this of course is a matter govern.
ed by relative distance, SO that IL the
earth were halfway between Sirius
and the sun Sirius would appear be-
tween sixteen and seventeen times as
bright as the sun.

1904. During the same period the
length Of the school term has increased

THE REAL COLONEL SELLERS
Optimistic James Hampton, A. Mark
Twain Knew Him.

Optimistic James Hampton, ~ Mark
Twain Knew Him.
In the opening chapter Of his Auto
biography" printed in the first fort
nightly number of the North American
Review, Mark Twain tells thus Of the
original Colonel Sellers:
Many persons regarded Colonel Sell
lers as fiction. an invention, an ex-
travagant impOssibility, and did me
the honor to call him a creation" but
they were mistaken. l merely put him
On paper as he was He was not per-
son who could be exaggerated. The in
cidents which looked most extrava-
CANT, both in the book and on the
stage, were not inventions of mine. but
were facts of his life. and l was pres
ent when they were developed
John T. RaymOnd's audiences used
to come near to dying with laughter
over the turnip eating scene: but, ex-
travagant as the scene was, 1t was
faithful to the facts in all it's absurd
details. The thing happened in Lamp
toms own house. and l was present. In
fact, l was myself the guest who ate
the turnips. In the hands Of great
actor that piteOus scene would have
dimmed any manly spectators eyes
with tears and racked his ribs apart
Raymond was great In humorous pOr-
trayal only. In that he was superb. he
was wOnderful-in q word, great. In
all things else he was a pygmy of the
pygMies.
The real Colonel Sellers as knew
him in James Hampton was a pathetic
and beautiful spirit, manly man. Il
straight and honorable man, a man
with a big. foolish, unselfish heart in
his bosom, a man born to be loved, and
he was loved by all his friends and by
his family wOrshiped. 1t is the right
word. TO them he was but little less
than a god. The real Colonel Sellers
was never ON the stage. Only half of
him was there. Raymond could not
play the other half of him. 1t was
above his level. There was only one
man who could have played the whole
Of Colonel Sellers, and that was Frank
Mayo.
James hampton foated all his days
in a tinted mist of magnificent dreams
and died at last without seeing one of
them realized. l saw him last In 1884.
when it had been twenty-six years
since l ate the basin Of raw turnips
and washed them down with bucket
of water in his house. He was become
old and white headed, but he entered
to me in the same old breezy way OF
his earlier life. and he was all there
yet-not detail wanting. The happy
light in his eye. the Astounding hope in
his heart, the persuasive tongue, the
miracle breeding imagination-they
were all there, and before could turn
around he was polishing up his Alad-
din's lamp and flashing the secret
riches of the world before me.

OF property for such purposes are
hereby declared to be public uses,
even though such appropriation and
use may inure to the special benefit of
some private individual, firm, corpora

That this declaration as to public uses
shall not be construed to limit the

not be taken for private use, except
for private ways of necessity. No pri-
vate property shall be taken or dam

pensatiOn shall be ascertained by a
jury, unless jury be waived as in

Whenever an attempt is made to take
private property for a use alleged to
be public, the question of whether the
contemplated use be really public snail
be a judicial question, and determined

declared to be public.
