One of the greatest preachers in
America will be in Grand Junction
tonight DR.. N. Dwight Hills, of
Plymouth church, New York City,
the successor of Henry Ward Beech
er, delivers his great lecture, "oliver
Cromwell and the Rise of the Com
mon People" at the Congregational
church, as the eighth number of the
Grand Junction lecture course. 1t
will be one of the finest addresses
ever delivered in the city. Hills is
known as an orator in every state in
the union.
Down in Grand Junction last Sun
day. another tightly closed town, a
fellow by the name of Dick Love,
who had been around town drunk
all the afternoon. entered the Saliva
ton Army barracks in the evening
and persisted in disturbing the meet
ing. He was put out three times,
each time returning with renewed
obstreperousness. Finally an officer
was called who arrested him and
started for Jail with him. Encour-
aged by street loafers. the bum pro-
tested against going to Jail and made
fight. Finally after being struck
two or three times the officer shot
the fellow in the leg. Served him
right, only he should have aimed
higher. There is no reason why a
conservative, careful officer. doing
his duty should submit to the Will
fication of such brutes, and give
them the advantage of ring rules
when they show fight, and he is a
fool if he does. Give them what is
coming to them as this officer did,
and they will thereafter respect the
law and those delegated to enforce
it.-Telluride Journal.

A Hotel Exnerience.

One fashionable hotel on Fifth ave-
nue. refuses to give any receipt for
jewelry deposited in its safe or hold
itself responsible for a greater amount
than $3.50. Its explanation of this rule
is based on an experience which seems
excuse enough. Two guests of the
hotel kept their valuables and money
in the safe. They left them there
when they went abroad, sometimes to
stay for six months. Once the wife
came back alone and drew out all the
money and valuables. AS she had Of
ten done so before the clerks gave the
box to her as matter of course. 1t
was not until her husband had return
ed and wanted the same valuables that
the hotel knew of their divorce. The
husband brought suit and recovered
all he claimed. Since that result of its
confidence in its guests the hotel has
limited its responsibility to $250.-New

nADE FRO1 NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
OF human maladies is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned tho
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaN to get we'll as soon as posSible'that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. DR.. Pierce uses the
same root-called Blue Cohosh-in his
"Favorite Prescription" skillfully COM
bined with other agents that make it

To those Who are satisfied with su-
perfcial view of the subject it may
seem impossible that the diligence and
attention necessary to fisherman's
success can leave him any opportunity
while fishing to thoughtfully contem-
plate any matter not related 20 his pur
suit. Such conception of the situation
cannot be indorsed for moment by
those of us who are conversant with
the mysterious and unaccountable men
tai phenomena which fishing develops.
We know that the true fisherman finds
no better time for profitable contempla-
ton and mental exercise than when ac-
tually engaged with his angling outfit.
1t will probably never lie possible for
us to gather statistics showing the NOV
ing sermons, the enchanting poems, the
learned arguments and eloquent ora
tions that have been composed or con-
structed between the bites, strikes or
rises of fish. But there can be no doubt
that of the many intellectual triumphS
won in every walk of life a larger pro-
portion has been actually hooked and
landed with Il rod and reel by those of
the fishing fraternity than have been
secured in any one given condition of
the nonfishing world. Fishing and

The most popular children's book
ever written was Mother Goose's Mel
odies." Mrs. Goose, or Mother Goose,
as she was familiarly called, was the
mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet, a Bos-
ton printer early in the century. When
his first child was born his mother-in-
law devoted ali her attention to the
baby and, it is said, greatly annoyed
Fleet by her persistent and not par
ticularly musical chanting of the old
English ditties she had heard in her
childhood. The idea occurred to Fleet
of writing down these songs and pub
fishing them in book form. The old
est extant copy bears the date of 1719
The price marked on the title page
was two coppers." This account of
the origin of Mother Goose is discred-
tied by some critics, who declare that
in 1897 Perrault published "Contes de
ma Mere rOye," or Stories of Mother
Goose" The name Mother Goose was
familiar in French folklore, being used

The status Of a Meteorite.

A meteorite fell on a Vermont farm
in 1896. 1t was a valuable meteorite,
and the landlord at once stepped up
and claimed it. "All minerals and
metals on the land belong to me-" he
said. ''Thats in the lease"
But the tenant demurred. .eThis me-
teorite," he said, wasn't on the farm,
you must remember, when the lease
was drawn up."
The landlord perceived the justice
of that claim. He thought moment
Then he said decisively, 81 claim her

But the tenant was ready for him.
"She's got neither wings nor feathers" !"
he said Therefore, as ground game,

Light and Cplors.

It Is now the general conclusion of
scientists that light is simply the re-
suit Of vibrations, or waves, which oc-
CUE N a hypothetical substance known
as the ether, substance supposed to
permeate all space and all objects and
to be coextensive with the universe.
According to this theory, when the
ether Is caused to vibrate at certain
rate 1t gives rise to the sensation Of
light in proportion to the rate Of vibra-
ton, or, in other words, the wave
length. In this way the various colors
are produced, red having the longest
wave length and violet the shortest
wave length Of any Of the colors- that
Is, there are more waves or vibrations
IN q given time in the case Of violet
than in the case Of red light. Briefly,
in relation to this peculiar phenomenon,
the theory Is that colored bodies owe
their color to the fact that they exert
a selective action on the waves or rays
of light which fall upon them, allowing
some to pass on and SO give the effect
of color, while others are absorbed or
destroyed.
