AN OLD FASHIONED WOMAN.
clever brilliant thinker che


No clever, brilliant thinker she,
With college record and degree
She has not known the paths Of fame,
The world has never spoke her name,
She walks in old, long trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom, love her dover;
She seeks no other wand of power,
To make home sweet, bring heaven
near,
To win smile and wipe tear,
And do her duty day by day,
In her own quiet place and way,
Around her childish hearts are twined
AS round some reverend saint en-
shrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are lead to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
This sad old earth's a brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face.
Her very smile blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she
goes
A gentle, clear eyed messenger
To whisper love; thank God for her.

A WASTED LIFE.
There are great many who try to
feed their soul on infdelity mixed
with truth. they say the Bible has
good things in it, but is not inspired.
They say Christ was a good man, but
He was not inspired, and that reli
gion is made up of ten degrees of hh-
manitarianism, and ten degrees of
egotism with one degree of gospel
truth, and on a poor, miserable cud
they make their immortal soul chew,
while the meadows of Gods world
are green and luxnriant with we'll
watered pastures. Did you ever see
a happy infdel? Did you ever meet
a placid skeptic? Did you ever meet
a contented atheist? Not one. From
the days of Gibbon Voltaire down,
not one. They quarrel about God.
They quarrel about the Bible. They
quarrel about each other. They take
all the divine teachings and gather
them together, and under them they
put the fire of their own wit, and
scorn, and sarcasm and then they
dance in the light of the blaze, and
they scratch amid the rubbish for
something with which to help them
in the days of trouble, and something
to comfort them in the days of death.

This globe seems to me more like q
collection of carcasses than of men.

WHEN YOU'RE "H1TcuEp. !"

There are mighty few young people
who go into marriage with any real
idea of what it means. They get their
notion of it from among the clouds
where they lived while they are en-
gagged and naturally about all they
find up there is wind and moonshine,
or from novels which always ends
before the real trouble begins, or, if
they keep on, leave out the chapters
that tell how the husband finds the
rent and the wife the hired girl But
if theirs one thing in the world about
which it's possible to get at all the
facts it s matrimony. Part of them
are right in the house where you
were born and the neighbors have
the rest.
It's been my experience that you've
got to have leisure to be unhappy.
Half the troubles in this world are
imaginary, and it takes time to
think it up. But It's these oftener
than the real troubles that break d
young husbands back or u young
wife heart
be happy idle when they're single,
but once you marry them to each
other they We got to find work or
they'll find trouble. You can ride
three miles on the trolly car to the
stock yards every morning and find
happiness at the end of the trip, but
you may chase it all over the world
in a steam watch without catching up
with it. A woman can find fun from
the basement to the nursery of her
own house, but give her license to
CAD the streets and u bunch of matt
nee tickets and she'll be discomfort.
There S always an idle woman or an
idle man in every divorce case
When the man earns the bread in the
sweat of his face it S right the woman
should perspire little baking it.

for more. Not only was the special edi-

but in the residential sections OF tho
city thousands We're disposed of. and
many more could have been sold had
the boys not been too tired 10 return 10
the office for them.
The rear end collision occurred outside

Methods by which the Denver and

disclosed before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at its session

From the testimony given by wit
nessea whom Attorney J. +. Mar
chand succeeded in producing, it
was shown thai for years the Utah
Fuel Company and the Pleasant Val
ley Coal Company have enjoyed
preferential rates on all the com
modities shipped by them over the
Rio Grande system.
The evidence left il fairly to be
inferred that the two companies
organized by the Rio Grande West
ern railroad with a view of aequiT-
ing, developing. and operating coal
lands, had probably received many
thousands of dollars during the past
six years in the way of rebates, al

to be preferential in the sense that
