An Indian In the Senate.

For the first time in history an In
diap will sit in the highest law-mak-
ingi body OF the United States, and
help shape the laws that govern the
country over which his ancestors held
sway long before the forbears of the
other Senators ever heard Of America.
The new Senator is the Hon. Charles
Curtis, and he will represent the state
Of Kansas. Any one, however, who
goes into the Senate Chamber in the
expectation of seeing an Indian brave
in war paint and feathers, sitting with
the pipe Of peace in the Council of the
fatbers," will be , disappointed. Mr..
Curtis is q lawyer, well read and digni-
fed manners. His clothes are always
In the latest fashion. He looks as he
Is, man Of affairs, who has got to his
present high position by hard work,
and who will give the same careful
attention to national affairs as he has
given to those Of his own state. He is

Swallowing Dirt.

This Is by Bob Burdette, the we'll
known humorist:
"My homeless friend with the chro-
matte nose, while you are stirring up
the sugar in 1O-cent glass of gin, let
me give you fact to wash down with
1t. You may say you have longed for
years for the free, independent life of
farmer, but you have never been able
to get enough money to buy farm.
But there is where you are mistaken.
For some years you have been drink
ing good improved farm at the rate
of one hundred square feet at gulp.
If you doubt this statement figure it
out for yourself. An acre of land con-
tains 1850 square feet. Estimating,
for convenience, the land at $43, SO an
acre, you will see that 1t brings the
land just one mill per square foot. Now
pour down the fiery dose aud imagine
you are swallowing strawberry patch.
Call in five of you friends and have
them help you gulp down that 5O0-foot
garden. Get on a prolonged spree
some day and see how long it will take
to swallowa pasture land to feed "a COW.
Put down that glass of gin; there is
dirt In it-three hundred feet of good,
rich dirt, worth $43. SO per acre"

THp BIGGEST corporation in this

THE biggest corporation in this
country and in fact in the world is
the United States Government. The
second in size and wealth is Great
Britain, the third France. The
magnitude of the American corpor-
alton can be imagined, though not
conceived when it is remembered
that its wealth exceeds that of
Great Britain and France together.
The disclosure during the last three
years of dishonesty and corruption
in the railroad, insurance, coal oil,
fresh beef and other corporations
has aroused the indignation of the
President and people of the great
est corporation, and it is impossible
to foretell the evolutionary legisla-
tion that the next few years may
bring forth in the way of abate-
ment.

been rapidly diminishing during the
last two or three generations. When
the Indian lands were parceled out Mr,
Cnrtis ard his children received allot-

by selling papers on the streets Of To-

hard study he was admitted to the bar.
Soon after opening his office he was

Power to the Faint,

There Is something wonderfully
helpful and satisfying IN the assurances
given to the Christian Of divine co.
operation for his benefit. Again and
again he finds himself confronted by
u stimulation that battles him. He
may be assailed by temptation SO frs
quently and so insidiously that his
resolution to resist gradually weakens;
he may be standing before some open
door of service, but, because Of his con-
scious unfitness for the work, hesitate
to enter; he may be overwhelmed by
great and grievious sorrow, and dis
cover that his hold on God Is relaxing
under the pressure of his grief; he may
be so bowed down by the weight Of
disappointment that his strength to en7
dure is becoming depleted; he may be
approaching the verge Of some domes.

Probably more manure has been
hauled onto the orchards the past
winter than during any previous year.
This is a sign that more fruit of market
able size will be grown than ever before.
A few years ago the man who advocat-
ed the use of manure in any Colorado
orchard was likely to get the horse
laugh. At that time we supposed our
soil to be inexhaustible SO far as the
elements required by fruit trees were
concerned. 1t has been demonstrated
repeatedly that all we need in growing
good trees with plenty of wood is an
admixture of Colorado soil, sunshine
aud water. These are important ele-
ments in producing the finest fruit the
world has yet known. However, to
get Winesap apples of good fancy grade
from old trees we must do something
more. We mention the Winesap be-
cause it Is one of our leading CONNER
cial varieties and also one of the first
to lose size when producing heavily.
The Missouri Pippin will gradually
tizzle out and become understood in a
few years but 1t is such poor variety
anyway that no one grieves when it
bears. itself to death and as the trees
are only filters at best they are natur-
ally destined for the woodpile in
course of time. Geneton, Jonathan
and Grimes Golden are among the
finest market sorts, which require
fertilizing or heavy thinning to keep
up the standard for size and quality

Like Mother Used to Do.

He criticised her pudding and he criti-
cised he cake;
He wished she'd make the biscuits his
mother used to make;
She didn't wash the dishes and she
didn't make the stew,
And she didn't mend the stockings as
his mother used to do.
oh, well, she wasn't perfect but she
tried to do her best;
Until at lenghth she thought 1t time
for her to have a rest. -
So when one day this man had growled
and whined the whole day through,
She turned him up and famed his
pants as his mother used to do. n

The demand for alfalfa seed this
spring is bound to be unprecedented.
Farmers are realizing more and more
the great value of this plant and In
many sections where farming without
irrigation is practiced strong effort is
being made to introduce it. This Is
particularly true Of the Divide country
where alfalfa has been fairly successful
wherever sown in the proper way.
The important point in trying to raise
alfalfa without irrigation is to prepare
the ground thoroughly in advance.
Alfalfa can not be put on sod ground
and secure good stand. The ground
should be cultivated for at least year
before alfalfa is sown. Ground upon
which potatoes were raised last season
will do very well if properly prepared,
The value of alfalfa to any farm can
not be over-estimated,- Denver Field

Hot soda baths are recommended for
rheumatism and the way they are
taken is this: Fill tub half full of
water as hot as can be borne, add half a
pound of common baking soda and inn
merse the body for at least twenty
minutes, keeping up the temperature
by the addition of hot water from time
to time. Vaseline or cold cream should
be rubbed into the skin afterwards in
order to replace the natural oils. Salol
has been used with good effect in the
treatment of acute rheumatisnl, par

is a chemical compound of salicylic

dose for an adult is ten grains every
