CURED Aug. {. 1904, on the line of tn"
same railroad resulted from Il head
on collision of two passenger trains on
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
four miles east of Florence. Colo. The
trains were the Utah-CalifOrnia eX-
press west-bound from Denver and the
COloradO-New Mexico express east
bound from Leauville and Grand juno.
ton. They met on sharp curve, ana
were less than 200 yards apart when
the engineers discovered that col
}isiOn was imminent.
Engineer Died Hero, at His Post.
1t is known that the engineer of the
west-bound train put forth every pos
sible effort to bring his train to Il stop,
but his efforts were fruitleSS, and al
though he succeeded in checking the
speed of his train the crash that fol-
lowed was beyond his power to pre-
vent, and he went to his death With
his hand on the throttle. faithful to
his charge. This much is vouched for
by his fireman, who seeing the useless
ness of remaining in the face of sure
death jumped and saved himself.
Made More Awful by Fire.
OF the conduct of the engine crew Of
the east-bound train it can only be
said that they died at their posts, for
no one lives to tell the story Of their
herOism. The disaster was made more
horrible by the manner of the death of
many of the passengers, variously esti-
mated at from twenty to thirty-fve.
Fire swept over the wreck, engulfng
the victims in a caldrOn of flame. and
leaving only charred and blackened
bones to tell the tale of slaughter. A
list of the injured given out by Of
ticials Of the railroad company COM
prises twenty-five names. None of the
injured is dangerously hurt and it is
believed all will recover.

Cultivate the art Of idiIng. There y
no doubt that to be able to idle at win
Is most valuable gift and one which
Is becoming rarer every day. The art
of loafing is not properly understood
by the majority Of people. Much has
been written on the subject. Steven
son dealt with 1t In an essay: Mr..
Kenneth Grahame touched ON It In
Pagan Papers," and Mr.. Barry Pain
has some Illuminating remarks on the
subject In his Canadian canoe book.
There 10 subtle difference between
the views of these experts. Mr.. Ora
hame advocated absolute idleness.
Mr.. Pain pointed out, with more truth,
that the great art Of loafing was to dc
the easiest thing and that sometimes II
Is easier to work than to be idle Thia
Is the secret Of the whole matter. The
superficial idler thinks 1t his duty to
be idle on every occasion. The man
who has studied the subject knows
that this is an entirely erroneous
view. There are times when we fee
that we must be up and doing. II w
sternly repress this inclination ouI
peace Is disturbed. The really scien
tlfic idler is the man who can idle a

Resin.

The resin of the shoemaker and Nd.
dler Is obtained from different species
Of the FIR tree--as the Scots fir, the
larch and the balsam fir of Canada. II
Is well known that a resinous juice
exudes from these trees, which hardens
into solid tears. The clear juice itself,
before 1t has dried up by coming to the
surface, Is known in commerce a. tur.
pentine and is In the main composed Of
oil Of turpentine and resin. When thu
juice is distilled, the oil comes over
and the resin remains behind. When
the distillation is carried on to dryness
common resin Is formed, but when
water Is mixed with It while yet fluid
the resulting mass Is the variety called
yellow resin. which is more preferred
for most purposes because it Is more
ductile than the former. owing prob
ably to its containing some oil.

Picking Peanuts.

The seeds Of the peanut are planted
like beans, and when the vines have
come up and the nuts are ready for
harvesting the farmer takes a cult
vator especially made for that pur-
pose and starts down the long rows.
On either side of this cultiyator are
two long knives which sink into the
ground sufficiently to cut the taproot
Of the vine. The same process Is gone
through with on the other side Of the
vine. The main root being thus sew
cred and the ground loosened, the
vines are lifted into shocks like corn.
They are cured by allowing them to
stand In the sun for about ten days,
when q colored woman and children
are sent into the field to pick the nuts
from the vines. An average picker
will pick about five bushels day, fol
which he Ia paid at the rate of 1O
cents q bushel.

DUBOIS CHARGES.

According 70 the Miners view Of
the matter Of oil the recent criti.
cism Of President Roosevelt, that
which il calculated to do him the
most injury, aud is actually the
least justified, is the attack levied
against him BY Hena tor Dubois,
Of Idaho. The senator charged
the executive with throwing the
weight Of bis influence IN the last
election against the American
party in Utah, and in favor Of the
Morm0ns.
Mr.. Dubois scored the president
for sending Secretary Taft 10 Ida
no Just before election to work for
the election OF the republican Nor
mon ticket in that state. There ia
. large portion Of the American
people who are fanatical upon this
Mormon question, 4nd this is the
reason that the criticism Of the
senator from Idaho is likely 10
hurt President Roosevelt more than
many other things which be has
done that are really entitled TO the
severest censure.
The truth is that the executive
has supported the republican party
in Utah and Idaho, because it was
the republican party, and not BE-
cause ii was dominated by the
Mormon church. At least, this
newspaper believes that is the just
way Of looking at the matter, a.
though it is probable that there ere
thousands Of prejadiced persons
who will maintain that the execu.
tive should have opposed the re-
publican organization in the two
states men toned because it was
run by Mormons. That is not
quite just to Mr.. Roosevelt.
He took . political and not a
religious view Of the situation. OF
course, it was not exactly necessary
for him to have sent such warm
congratulations to Senator Smoot
over the last republican victory in
Utah, but that was one, Of those
impulsive and unwise things that
the executive is continually doing.
