CHAPTER viii.

Billery did not die that time. but he
lay for week in the balance. Alexis
suffered a good deal from the neces-
sary invasion Of his privacy, and the
discovery of Billery's terrible secret
was all the harder to endure because
in the very nature of things it was
impossible for him to seek any sort of
friendly consolation or advice It was
not thing to breathe word about to
any human creature, and whilst
Billery lay under his roof unconscious
his host went almost crazy with ankle
ty and with wonder as to what course
of action he would take when he re.
covered. It was quite impossible to
know whether that drunken declara-
ton of his resolve to do his duty and
to make his knowledge common prop
erty would be put in effect or not. He
had always been so much of wealth
ercock that he could be blown this
way or that by any gust of feeling;
but for the time being, at least, Billery
was not amenable to reason, or in
state to be appealed to, however gent
ly.
II under these conditions Alexis
sometimes found his self-possession
severely tested, and If at times he al
lowed that fact to be seen, it was, per-
haps, hardly to be wondered at. It
was evident to most of those who
were close to him at this period of his
trials that he put a great restraint
upon himself with regard to Billery.
He was sometimes ON the very verge
of an angry outbreak with Gervase,
who had hitherto found him the least
exacting of masters, the suavest tenn.
pered, and the most easily pleased.
Now that unhappy servitor stole about
his duties with sense of an over
charge of electricity in the air and
constant expectation of a thunder
storm. There were two nurses in
waiting ON the patient, one attending
by night and one by day, and the alb
ruptness of Alexis's manner kept them
both in fear. But there was simply
no end to his patience and kindness to
Billery, who, when he began to ap-
proach recovery, was extremely try.
Ing. He brought him grapes and jellies
and all manner of comforting and
strengthening things, and he was SO
uniformly gentle In the sick room that
everybody preferred to encounter him
there rather than elsewhere.
/ But when Billery was well on his
way to convalescence his hosts insta.
b1lity took such a hold upon him that
sometimes he would march from the
room in which the invalid sat or
lounged at rest and would ease his
mind by the use of vigorous language
until he felt that he had let or steam
enough, and that It was safe for him !
to return.

What He Would Saw.

The late Francis Coggin for long
time was director Of the Indian
Head National bank, Nashua, N. II.
During the last years Of his director
ship the present cashier, Ira F. Har-
ris, was at the head of the institution,
It was Mr.. Coggin's custom to visit
the bank daily, and invariably as he
opened the door he would say, in
tones that could be heard all over
the bank: "Is Ira Ing" Mr.. Harris
grew very tired Of this. much to the
amusement of the rest of the bank.
Finally the phrase came to be q by.
word with them. : :,
During the summer preceding hiA
death Mr. Coggin looked very bad, but
was abba to get out and make his
usual visits to the bank. One hot day
In July the clerks were sweltering over
their work, when in walked Mr.. Cog
gin, with his usual salutation: rs Ira
in?"
"Yes," said Mr.. Harris, II am here.
It's pretty hot day, isn't it,"
Hot! You don't call this hot. do
you? You ought to have been with
me one summer down in Georgia"
And Mr.. Coggin proceeded to tell what
hot weather really was.
After he had gone out Mr.. Harris
spoke up as follows: Doesn't M.
Coggin look bad? am afraid 1t WON'T
be long before he will be where the
weather will be hot enough for him.
Yes" piped up the correspond nos

The following from the Mont
rose Enterprise is caustic answer
20 the attempt to steal the credit
tor work done by the dead. The
Hon. c. M. Hammond and the
Hon. w. S. Buckley, more than
any other men who ever lived, are
responsible for the undertaking of
the mammoth work that will yet
build prosperous Empire out of
a sage brush and grease wood
desert. 1t seems strange that those
who will enjoy the blessings oftheir
work should SO earnestly strive
to rob the dead of the credit for
their toll and effort. Doubtless
the claim of Ryan to share of
the credit worked a portion of his
defeat, and if so it was we'll. AS
one who witnessed the anxious
days and nights of work done by
lHGSC lWO SldlW w dil W.
cannot help feeling sensation of
disgust when we see others trying
TO dwarf the credit that is right
fully theirs:
In great. big type, the Telluride
Examiner says, in talking of
Charley Ryan: He was the origi-
nator of the Gunnison Tunnel
enterprise" Remarkable what a
big load little man can shoulder
when he gets into politics. isn't it.
But at least the question. who is
the father of the Gunnison tun'
nel?" is settled. whether right or
wrong, and the splendid work of
c. M. Hammond, John Tobin,
Iohn Pelton. E. l.. Osborn, John
c. Bell, o. M KEN, w. S. Buck

others must take back seat, for

THE following item appeared in
the Montrose Press two or three
weeks ago:
Charles Rawalt, The PAoNIA
NEWSPAPER man. was talking
through his hat in Montrose Tues
day. He actually has the audacity
to think Judge Stevens is going to
be elected and that he will carry
Gunnison county by 800 majority.
Leading Democrats from that
section do not claim more than
100 for that gentleman, and by
election day it is not unlikely that
they will be betting even money
that Judge Shackelford will break
even with his opponent up there.
The sentiment in Montrose is but
a reflection of that existing all
over the Seventh judicial district
the people have come to realize
that the present court is too ex-
pensive, its decisions are too often
reversed.-Montiose Press.
We submit that Bro. Adams was
a ,rifle off when he predicted the
defeat of Theron Stevens. The
people know a good Judge when
they have one. And think of it,
Charley he is elected for six whole
years! That's enough to break
your heart, isn't it? We can al
ways trust old Gunnison when
politics are on tap.

WE NEVER BOLT.

MIR. BarknauSep, ditci uSou'N
ing "Pattersonsm, Rawaltism,
Bossism, Boodleism and Bolter-
ism." says: Patterson and Ra-
walt can define the word "bolter.' .
They have played the roll in many
campaigns"
We will be obliged to the Dem
ocrat for advising US of the time
and place when we ever bolted a
democratic ticket We have
served the party in the editorial
chair for twenty-five years, have
held office under the party, have
made speeches for it and have an
unbroken record Of thirty years
supporting democrats. In that
time we never held up a state
chairman for pay for our support.
Once we were able to defeat such
an attempt in this state. This
wear we did not learn the purport
of the call for an assignation OF
democratic editors in the Albany
hotel, the same being headed by
MIR. Barkhausen, until letter
from the state chairman, now on
our desk, advised US that a de-
mand for trifle over $4,000 had
been made upon him for the Pur-
pose of securing the support of
said editors of their party ticket.
Mr.. Smith says he had no money
to meet the demand and we pre-
sumo that this fact was the meat
of the Democrats violent fight on
the democratic ticket.
We have no desire to be a party
boss We believe our record OF
boodling will bear comparison
with that of the gentleman who
breathes the accusation. Our
support, and opposition, to Mr..
Patterson has always been in the
open. We have freely criticised
where we felt like it because an
independent editor is the only one
who is worth the powder to kill
him, and we desire to be valuable
to society, our town, county, state
and party.
We presume that "Rawaltism"
as understood by Mr.. Barkhausen,
is the expression of our opinions
and the endeavor on our part to
secure the support of the people
to those opinions, without first
consulting Bob Speer,et al. Those
opinions will still continue to af-
flict our enemies even if Bro.
Barkhausen throws three fits in
place of one weekly. Some of
our acquaintance have been un
kind enough to say that we are
never happy unless in a fight.
This we Indignantly deny, for we
are intensely peaceful, but we ad-
nit that we experience no mental
distress because some renegade
democrats, out for the long green,
find fault with our course in at
tempting to direct party action
along the lines of decent regard
for the rights of the people.
Elsewhere in this paper we com
ment on the election just held and
if our esteemed friend will read it
carefully he will possibly find
fresh occasion for wrath. We can
not change our course so quickly
as some of our editorial brethren.
We are very fat, and deliberate
considerably before assuming Po-
sition. Then we dislike to change
it. We studied long and earnestly
before deciding that the democ-
racy could not hope to secure
permanent supremacy in Colorado

CRITICISING THE SCHOOL.
The school always has been and
always will be criticised and this
article is no attempt to shut Oft
criticism. Indeed, criticism may
be very helpful if accepted in the
proper spirit. The wise teacher
listens carefully to the criticism
of the public and if there is any
occasion for the criticism, seeks
to remedy the defects mentioned.
If, as sometimes occurs, the crit
icism is unjust and uncalled for the
teacher tries to dismiss the mat
ter from the mind or bears the in
Justice and humiliation as best he
can. Criticism given in the
proper spirit is welcome and
should be very helpful, but there
is a criticism which is exceedingly
harmful to the school and often
little better than libel toward the
teacher. We refer to the prac
tice which obtains in some quar-
ters of publicly criticising teachers
upon the mere heresay of some
disaffected child. There are two
things we object to in such crit
lcism. First, no one should pub
licly pass judgment upon another
until he has heard both sides and
this is especially true when such
criticism may seriously cripple a
teachers influence and greatly
impair the usefulness OF the
school. Second, such criticisms
usually have no good results.
They reach the teacher in a sec
ond hand and exaggerated form
and do far more harm than good.
Indeed, if such critics really de-
sire to better the schools they ex-
ercise little judgment in the
means used.
Now mistakes are sure to be
made by the school and offenses
are certain to be committed by
the pupils. Usually the school
officers and teachers can be trust
ed to remedy evils without being
compelled to do so. In cases
where they fail or where the par
ent desires an explanation or
wishes to present a request or
make a criticism, we suggest that
the one interested go directly to
the proper person.
