Child Saved From Jaws of Lion.

Meeteetse, Wyo.-Mrs. Frank t
Thayer. residing on ranch on Wood
river, saved her three-year-old child
from death by boldly attacking noun
tain lion with a small revolver. The
child was playing in the yard of tho
ranch house, Thayer being away at the
time. Going into the yard on an err
rana Mrs. Thayer discovered an i'm
rense mountain lion in the act OF
stalking the child which, unconscious
OF its danger, was playing in high glee
Darling into the house Mrs Thayer
snatched up a small revolver and, run
ring toward the lion. fired the weapon
Until IL was empty.
The lion was not touched by the bull
let's, but the noise of the shots was too
much for its courage and it turned tail
snd bounded away at top speed. Mrs.
fhayer picked up the child and re-
treated to the house. which she barri-
caded. fearing a return of the lion The
beast, however, evidently kept on GO
ing as Thayer followed its trail a long
distance when he returned.

oldn. Practice What He Preached.

Utica, n. Y.-The Rev. Philip B.
Peabody, a sleek appearing clergyman.
aged forty-two. native Of Batavia,
New York, but recently engaged in
missionary work in Colorado and Wyo-
ming, preached in two local Episcopal
churches Sunday, and his eloquence
and general dignity made such pro-
found impression that Bishop Olmsted
set about arranging to have him sup
ply various pulpits in this Episcopal
diocese during the vacation period.
Tonight the Rev. Mr.. Peabody is a
prisoner at Utica jail, serving term
of six months at hard labor for the
crime of larceny, which he confessed.
1t is said he has swindled religious
bodies and merchants from the Allan
tic to the Pacific coast.
By profession the Rev" Mr.. Pea
body is a clergyman, also a trained
nurse. but he doesn't work the for
mer business. excepting when it be-
hooves him to ingratiate himself with
those whom he would pluck. Then he
styles himself THE Rev. Philip B. Pea
body"
When he came to Utica with his wife
couple of weeks ago he produced ere
dentials, which at the time appeared to
bear out his story of being a clergy
man in the East for change of scenes
and he quickly ingratiated himself into
the condolences of the local minister's
But 1t was not long before he had some
transactions that were not in his favor
and investigation proved him to be an
imposter.

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities of Officers and pl.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tions. Speaking to the new board of
trustees on the occasion of his elec-
tion to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as a trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. Il understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf who are to ad-
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which it is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch of
the company's working organization,
gives me, as | believe, a profound ap-
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shoul-
ders, but of the standards of efficiency.
the standards of faith. the standards
of integrity. which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders in
this high Office
Best of all, perhaps. he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short of
performance. My thanks, therefore"
he continues, for an honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition. cannot be expressed
in words; they must be read out OF

Important Irritation Suit.

Fort Collins, Colo.-The most impor.
tant irrigation suit that has been
started here in several years will come
before Judge Garrigues in Greeley.
when demurrers are argued in the suit
by the Larimer County No. 2 Irriga-
lion Company against all bitches in
The Poudre valley that have reservoir
water in addition to their flow from
the river.
Larimer County No. Company,
which has one of the oldest bitches in
the Poudre valley. claims that when
Its ditch was first built, that 1t had at
all times all the water 1t needed. Since
the building of reservoirs has been
under way the Larimer County No. 2
people say their supply has been an
nually growing smaller and that water
which should have come to them by
right has been Systematically diverted
by other companies and used in re-
claiming low prairie land.
Their belief is that this water has
in some way been manipulated as stor-
age water, when 1t should have been
available for use on Larimer County
No . land. which forms the Harmony
district southeast of Fort Collins. Not
less than ten of the leading attorneys
of this city have been employed by
the various companies interested.
Some of the points raised by Lari-
mer County No. . are based upon de-
cisions in the Kansas Colorado case.
One of the principal points the attor-
nies hope to have definitely settled by
the court is the right to purchase land
with certain water rights and then
transfer the water to other land. This
question has not been settled by the
higher courts and has caused much
litigation.

Wyoming Official in the Tolls.

Laramie. Wyo.-William H. Hicks
former treasurer of this county. a
shortage of 81 900 in whose books was
discovered last week, was placed un-
der arrest-by order of the county COM
missioners. Other shortages amount
ing to $3.50 having come to light dur
ing the examination by State Exam
mer Henderson.
Last week Hicks gave mortgage
upon his home TO cover the shortage
of 81 900, which was then known and
was not arrested for the discrepancy.
which he alleged was mistake in
bookkeeping. Hicks was treasurer for
four years and was checked out last
January, being defeated at the last
election for the office of county clerk.
Hicks will be released on bond. Ex-
cessive election expenses and assess
ments are blamed for his downfall.

COULDN'T KEEP 1T.
Kept 1t Hid from the Children.

I'VE cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in
the house. 1t goes so fast | have to
hide it, because the children love it SO.
1t is just the food | have been looking
for ever SO long: something that | do
not have to stop to prepare and still is
nourishinS."
Grape.Nuts is the most scientifically
made food on the market. 1t is per-
fectly and completely cooked at the
factory and can be served at an in
stant's notice, either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk If n hot dish
is desired. When milk or water is
used, little sugar should be added,
but when cold cream is used alone
the natural grapesugar, which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is suf-
ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate.
This grape-sugar is not poured over
the granules, as some people think,
but exudes from the granules in the
process of manufacture, when the
starch of the grains is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
of manufacture. This, in effect, is the
first act of digestion: therefore, Grape
Nuts food is pre-digested and is most
perfectly assimilated by the very
weakest stomach. There's a Rea-

American Expansion.

and that American devices are abroad

students, in the course of an allusion

American Architecture.

II architecture is frozen music"
American architecture has been
medley OF Yankee Doodle" THE Ar
kansas Traveller" and "ragtime." Az
ter the colonial period. which g8ve us
fine specimens of public and private
buildings. there followed two genera
tions of bad building. the result of
sudden growth. Taste had little place
in a country working night and day to
erect necessary shelter. That America
is advancing in all the arts is to be
expected. The outlook for architec-
ture is especially hopeful. A commit
tee appointed by the American lnsti-
tutes of Architects has reported that,
''on the whole, architecture is being
taught in America with broader
view, and in certain respects more ef-
fectively, than in any other country"
There are reasons why this good
teaching will count in practice. thinks
Youths Companion. The architect diff
fers from other artists in that his
practical studio is millions of dollars
worth of materials. That studio, the
means of developing the art, is afford
ed by the amount, diversity and cost
illness of American building. There is
a general improvement in taste and
increased respect for expert opinion.
Rich builders, individuals and corpora
tions, losing much of the arrogance
which money breeds toward all forms
of service, show disposition to give
the architect free hand to work out
his ideas. and not merely produce aS
a hreling what the patron orders. We
may look in another generation not
only for great art in public buildings
and costly dwellings, but for the re-
action of great things on little, for the
disappearance of the salmon-pink
dwelling beneath the jig-sawn porch
OF which the American has erstwhile
been proud to sit. Finally, since archi-
lecture. dependent on native materi
al and landscape, is an Indigenous art.
It invites the architect. preeminently
among artists, to create original, ma
tive types. The future may produce
buildings of distinctively American
beauty.
