When tho World Was q Cube.

There was a time, centuries since.
OF course, when the learned men Of
the world really taught that the world
was a square, not merely Hat, but
that II was a cube. The primitive ge-
ograpbcrs Of Egypt, Assyria and China
all taught that the world was a
square plane" evidence OF which mny
be found on thousands OF ancient mon
uments In the countries mentioned, as
well as IN their ancient manuscripts,
upon their inscribed tablets OF clay and
other early literary remains. One OF
the most curious discoveries ever made
In Central ,merica concerning Toltec
beliefs. symbols, etc, is that they also
bad similar idea concerning the form
OF what we now speak Of az the
globe" A writer on the discoveries
made among the monumental ruins OF
that country says, They (rneanlng the
Peruvians. Toltecs and Quiches) be

from the heavens by cords OF gold fas-

RUNNING UPSTAIRS.
u Causes an Excessive and Injurious
Strai on the System.

Every one Knows that the ascent OF
q staircase Is more fatiguing than ordi-
nary walking In walking progression
Is effected by a succession OF lifts. In
clinations and swings.
In starting the body IL lifted. for ex-
ample. by the levers Of the right foot
aud is inclined forward. The left foot
being then raised from the ground. the
leg swings forward and is carried by
its momentum beyond the right foot.
The levers of the left foot now lift
the body again. and the right les
swings forward, and 30 the body oscil-
lates along on q pair OF pendulums.
Short pendulums vibrate more quickly
than long ones, and therefore short
legged people step quicker than long
legged people. though with no more
sense OF exertion.
In going upstairs the mechanism OF
progression is OF course the same. but
the lifting action. which Is the real
force consuming part OF the process, is
now greatly increased.
Instead OF being just sufficient To ad-
NIT OF the free swing OF the pendulum

the body up ut each step a distance

Running upstairs is thus an excess

where does this strain fall? The levers

ed nerves, with the nervous centers,
and these are the sources OF muscular

Not that the nerve force OF the brain
: Is converted into the mechanical move
ment of progression, but nerve force Is
constantly drawn upon TO maintain

HISTORY OF THE LADIES' AID
SOCIETY.

For more than a year we've met to-
gether
When Thursday proved 70 be pleas

We've walked or ridden, as best We
could
To the various homes where receive
US they would.
We've talked and sewed and many
pies made,
And cakes that were lettered Ladies
Aid"
We've prepared baked beans of ev'
cry kind,
And taken occasion 10 relieve our
mind
But we've forgiven each other
We've swept and garnished and
cleaned the stair.
And rushed back home 10 powder
our hair,
While, in spite OF seyerest Winter
weather,
An unexpected crowd did gather,
To see our charades
The pink silk gown had adorned a
bride,
We thought twas ruined when the
children cried.
Our Vice president was in sad
plight, ,
But YET in the end came out all
right
And will borrow ow-Nevermore.
We gave bake" and had success,
a
We made a chowder the minister
praised,
And music and money, together
raised
The doctors we saved from dire star
Vation,
For we spread enough cought foE
the American nation;
But we showed that crowd the chlio'
rem in town,
Can walk on their heads and never
fall down;
Aoj we raised those shingles
Good money we've made for a cell
ing Of steel,
Our feelings of pride We can not con
ceal,
When we think how we've worked
how we've sung, how we've played; ;
| And then of those two gingham snlrIs
that we made
And hoped that they fitted.
We've two welcome babies of which
we can tell.
We ore one score Of matrons, isn't
that doing quite well?

And now our President a quilt must
make, .,.o
And so our way to her house we take
For we nave agreed (lf she VIII leeo
us) ,,.a
To take the many stitches tedious
Now another gay quilt we have OF
our mind,
And when it is done many names yo'
will find.
OF three generations Of affiuent peo
pie, ,..,
Who sometime have passed our LITTLE
church steeple,
And each left a dime.
Very soon the men are going u
work,
Their duty, as cooks, they will no
Shirk,
We feel quite sure they will never
beat us,
Although half way they may possibi!
meet us.
We wish them success.
May the future be pleasanter, yet
than the past;
Nav the money be given before l
is asked;
May the suppers and musicales als'
be free,
That our children and theirs con

The North Delta Canal will be com
plcte, ready for business, Sept. |, 1907.
That is the date set by those who have
the work in hand.
The big job which will have required
more than six years of patient, persist
cnt toll and to some extent self sacri-
flee. will be done.
We ought to have celebration on
that day. The whole town of Delta
should shut up shop and everybody go
ing to land which it will transform from
barrenncss to wonderful productive
ness.
There should be good program ar
ranged Of speeches and music. thus Civ
ing over one whole day in celebration
of an event which means more to the
town of Delta than anything short of
completion Of the Gunnison tunnel, or
construction of sugar factory.
The North Delta Canal is one of the
biggest things that ever happened for
this town and those men who have clung
to the task of building it thru all these
years, hampcred as they have been by
lack of capital. deserve the thanks and
hearty hurrahs of this whole town.
They have done something which will
be of benefit to humanity as long as
time endurcs. They will have redeemed
1900 acres of as rich soil as the sun
shines on in this state. from its past
centuries of idlcness to future centuries
of productiveness and attendant bless
ings TO humanity.
AND IT is ALL FOR DELTA
The land begins within mile and a
half of the business center of town and
runs in solid strip one mile wide for
six miles to-tte west, 80 that the trade
territory which il produces is all our
own and Delta will receive the complete
benefit.
WHAT 1T MEANS To DELTA
On conservative basis il means an
annual increased production of $50, 900
worth of products.
The building of 100 houses.
An increased population of 500 people
