January, 1881, when he was appointed

holding that office. He was subse-
quently elected sheriff OF Rio Grande
county, a position he held for two con-
secutive terms, and after an interim

term, at the close of which he was
chosen to the office OF county clerk.
This position he held until January,
1895, when he was first appointed
warden of the penltentiary by Gov.
Mcintyre.
Another political nomination made
by Gov Buchtel and the state execu-

La Grande, June GA called meet
ing OF the council was held last even
Ing, one of the main questions for
consideration being the eBaver creek
water proposition. All members ex-

ent. Mayor Richardson announced
that telegram had been received
stating that the 100000 bond offer
was acceptable to the purchasers and
suggesting that bids be advertised
for the detail engineering work for
the proposed water supply. Council
man Williams offered an objection on
the grounds that IN open call for bids
would invite offers from engineers
who might be in league with con-
struction companies in such way as
to be Of disadvantage to the city. and
this objection was concurred in by
Councilman Fowler.
1t was finally decided to call for
bids up to July l for the detail en-
gineering with the usual reservation
of the right TO reject any or all bids
received. It was also decided by the
council that II n contract is entered

An Optical Illusion.

An interesting optical experiment
may be made with the ordinary mean
descent light Gaze steadily at the
light for few seconds, then suddenly
extinguish It. The experiment is best
performed in very dark room. In
about half minute you will see the
perfect image Of the light, with the
fine strands Of wire plainly visible. It
will be red at first. In few minutes
1t will turn purple and then bright
blue. Later 1t will apparently move to
the right. As you turn your gaze 1t
will continue moving to the right II
you keep your gaze fixed, It will come
back. 1t is surprising how long the
illusion will last. 1t will be seen for
fully five minutes, perhaps longer. and
II you turn on the light and look away
from It you viii see the old image for
several minutes, though more family
than in the darkness. n..'

"In the Days of Scott" there are two
anecdotes about Sir Walter Scott's
children In connection with his poem,
'The Lady Of the Lake"
One day his daughter was met by
James Ballantyne, the publisher, in
her fathers library and asked what
she thought Of the poem. She replied
that she had not read 1t and added.
Papa says there is nothing so bad
for young people as reading bad
poetry"
Scott's son Walter returned from
school one day with evidences of hav-
Ing been engaged in n fight. His ia
ther asked him what he had been fight
ing about. He replied that he had been
called "lassie' and had resented II.
A little questioning showed that
young Waters schooolfellows had
nicknamed him The Lady of the
Lake." which name the boy did not
understand except as a reproach to
his manllness.

REAL COUNTRY LIFE.
Why the American Farmer Grows Old
Early In Life,

Why the American Farmer Grows Old
Early In Life.
Any one who has lived on a farm
does not need to be told the reason
farmers grow old early, for he knows
Of the strain under which the Ameri-
can farmer lives during the FIVE
months Of spring and summer. His
workday Is from 4 or 8 In the morning
until 8 or at night, including chores
fifteen to seventeen hours Of the hard
est kind Of physical labor, and every
minute Of It at high tension, especially
during harvest. Then comes a period
Of relaxation in the fall, the one time
in the year when he has just enough
muscular exercise to keep him in
health; later, the winter season, ap-
preaching stagnation, In which he
takes on flesh, gets "logy," and then a
the spring and summer again. No
wonder that by forty-flve he has had q
sunstroke and "can't stand the heat"
or has "a weak back" or his "heart
gives out" or chill "makes him rheu-
matte" and when you add to this fu-
rious muscular strain the fact that the
farmer sees his income put in peril
every season and his very home every
bad year, so that each unfavorable
change in the weather sets his nerves
on edge, 1t can be readily imagined
that the real quiet, peaceful country
life" is something sadly different from
the ideal.-Woods Hutchinson, NJ. D.,

The Joya Of Relio huntinn

Quite apart from the beauty and in
trinsic worth of such things, II is as
tonishing on looking back on ones ex.
periences Of collecting to realize how
much pleasure one has got out of even

hilarating joy Of this treasure hunt, the
finding Of the treasure, the bargaining
for 1t and the final bearing Of II home
In triumph, unwrapping 1t and dis.
cussing Its beauties and merits, are
things which add zest to life. And, as
the taste for beautiful old things Is
more or less an acquired one and can
be cultivated, this is a Joy in which
