Model Ranch Purchase.

Canon City.-Messrs. Turnbull and
Lindenberger of this city, associated
with ]. B. Farrarer, John Morey,
James G.. Duncan, of the Morey Mer-
camille Company of Denver, and F. w.
STANDARD of Denver, have purchased
sixty acres of alfalfa land on Grand
View avenue, east of here, where they
will establish model fruit and vege-
table ranch. The entire tract will be
planted to apple and cherry trees, and
the space between the rows will be
devoted to vegetables.
James Turnbull of the same com.
pany, has negotiated for large tract
of land embracing nearly all Of the
ranches in Garden park, on Four Mile
creek, for about 100000. The ranches
carry with them valuable water rights,
and it is reported that large area will
be devoted to sugar beets, the erection
of sugar factory at this place being
part of the plan.

No Pay for State Boards.

ual travelling expenses and no more.
Their advocates say that these meas
ures will become law without ques-
ton. The saving, according to their
views, will not be so very great; that
is not the aim, but the material to
draw from will be better. Those who
will accept positions will do SO as an
act of citizenship free from any selfish
motive and their conduct will be so
considered by the public. Heretofore
there has been a suspicion that MEM
bership on some of the boards was re
served for professional politicians anx-
ious to make an easy living, and for
that reason the best citizens did not
care to accept positions on these
boards. The aim in the proposed legis.
lation is to get the very best men and
women to serve on the state boards in
the knowledge that they receive moth
ing directly or indirectly for their ser.
vices.
The following boards now serve
without pay: Board Of agriculture,
board of charities and corrections.
board of health, board Of medical ex-
aminers, board of pharmacy, board OF
pardons, board of dental examiners.
School for the Deaf and Blind, Home
for Dependent Children, Industrial
School for Girls, Normal school trus-
tees, School of Mines trustees, also

most instances receive salaries.
Boards that have salaries or per
diems include the lunacy board, Indus

THE FIRST TWINGE
Of Rheumatism Calls for DR.. Williams,
Pink Pills If You Would Be
Easily Cured.

Mr.. Frank Little, well known citi-
zen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich, was
cured of a severe case of rheumatism
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills. In speak
ing about it recently, he said: MY
body was run down and in no condi-
ton to withstand disease and about
five years ago l began to feel rheu-
matte pains in my arms and across
my back. My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint SO that l could
hardly move. while my arms were
useless at times. I was unable to
sleep or rest well and my heart pain
ed me so terribly could hardly stand
it. My stomach became sour and
bloated after eating and this grew
SO bad that 1 had Inflammation of
the stomach. / was extremely nerv-
GUS and could not bear the least
noise or excitement. One whole side
of my body became paralyzed.
LAS I said before, l had been suff-
ering about five years and seemed to
be able to get no relief from my
doctors, when friend here in Port
land told me how DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had cured MIN of neuralgia in
the face, even after the pain had
drawn it to one side. l decided to
try the pills and began to see some
improvement soon after using them.
This encouraged me to keep on until
was entirely cured. l have never
had return of the rheumatism or of
the paralysis.
The pills are for sale by all drug
gists or sent. postpaid, on receipt of
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine

The Denver Republican has al

growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.

Professor Zueblin's proposal for the
pensloning of motherhood Is no more
extravagant than the thousand and one
other suggestions for pensloning all
sorts and conditions of people. The
truth Is that the idea of government
benevolence has grown to such proper
tons that nobody need feel modest
about applying for pension, either as
a direct gift or In the. form of a spe-
cial privilege. When we reach the hap
py condition In which the state shall
bake care>of everybody the millennium
will have arrived. The one embarras-
sing question presents itself, however.
II the state Is to support everybody
who is 30 support the state? This Is,
perhaps, a mere detail, unworthy of
consideration. but 1t presents some diff
culties to the. unilluminated.

three times as hard as they nesd to

pressure was not one-half so great as
1t is now. All men realize. this fact of
superfuous work. The trouble Is that
only a few Of them act upon their
knowledge. A great deal OF sarcasm
was directed at jay Gould when he
said fifteen years or more ago that an
extra suit Of clothes was a superfiuity
since the richest man In the world
could wear only one: suit at time.
Yet he told the truth and the fact that
he kept piling up money to the day Of
his death did not invalidate his theory.
He knew well that all of his money
above a relatively small. sum was alb
solutely useless to him 30 far as his
bodily needs were concerned. He con-

The newspaper lately reported the
death, by bis own hand, Of prominent
and popular baseball player, who had
made his way to the captaincy Of the
team with which he was connected. He
was young, making a handsome living
by his occupation in which most per-
sons engage purely for pleasure, and
In the eyes Of the world was hap
PLY situated. He died victim Of over
work and worry. Almost his last words
were, II cannot stand 1t, any longerw
The case was, unfortunately, not re-
markable, but only typical. 1t was
merely an example of hundreds, per
haps thousands, of cases of men who
find the pace too rapid, the burden too
heavy. In the majority of instances
the body yields before the spirit. The
victim breaks down, drops in the har-
ness, before he reaches the frightful
step Of taking his own life. But the re-
suit Is, In effect, the same. The body
has not been more than raiment, and
they who would have saved their lives
have lost them. 1t takes courage and
1t takes that great quality, wisdom,
which Is 30 much more than education
or knowledge, to resist the tendency of
modern American life toward the over
work and the assumption Of unnatural
burdens. A part Of the courage, and
perhaps some of the wisdom, may have
to be expended in resisting pressure
from those who are nearest and dear
est--from wives and daughters who
have social aims and aspirations, and
from sons who regard the head of the
house as an inexhaustible source Of sup
ply. II this Is SO, there are double rea-
sons why firmness should be exercised
but ignorance makes more demands
than unreasonableness The extrava-
CANT woman Is more often careless of
money because she does not know than
because she does not care, and If she
were once made to understand the price
of gratifying her wishes, would do her
share toward establishing a saner and
safer standard.

Luther Burbank Says Curse of Child
Life IL Overeducation.
During the course Of many years Of
investigation into the past life of the
world, creating new forms, modifying
old ones, adapting others to new condi-
tions, Luther Burbank has been con-
stantly impressed with the similarity
between the organization and develop
rhent OF plant life and of human life.
In The Training Of the Human
Plant" says the New York Tribune,
he tells how the principles he has ap-
piled to the culture of plants might be
applied to that OF the human. species,
and points the way to a grander race
than the world has ever seen. The
United States he considers the most
promising field for the application Of
such ideas, for "all that has been done
for plants and flowers by crossing, ma
ture has already accomplished for the
American people," By the crossings
of types strength has in one instance
been secured; In another, intellectual
y; in still another, moral force. Ali
that Is left to be done falls to selec-
tive environment.
BY environment, according to the
plant wizard, everything can be done
with a child. 1t is UNNECESSARILY more
sensitive and responsive than a plant.
Heredity, it Is true, counts for much.
but heredity Is merely the sum of
past environments" Stored within 1t
are ''all the mysteries Of the universe"
and the appropriate environment will
bring out whatever Is desirable In that
heritage. If it were possible to isolate
dozen families under ideal condi-
lions, Mr.. Burbank says, more could
be accomplished for the advancement
OF the race than could now be accom-
plished in 100000 years
BY an ideal environment up to the
age Of 10 years. by which time the
child's character Is fixed, Mr.. Burbank

child life in America Is overeduca-

wrought to the race by keeping too
young children In school Is beyond the
power Of any one to estimate. We take

they ought to be living life of prepa-
ration near to the heart of nature
and we stuff them and overwork them
