REVOKES THE ORDER.

The United States government has
revoked its order torbiddiug iudi-
viduals and companies filing for res
ervoir sites on the Rio Graude river
and tributary streams in Colorado.
and as a result a dozen reservoirs will
be built in the San Luis valley. and
10000 acres of land will be redeem
ed. The change in the attitude of the
department of the interior will mean
millions of dollars to this state
The order was first formulated
upon complaint being made by the
republic of Mexico that so much wat
er was being taken from the Rio
Grande in Colorado that farms along
the river in Mexico were being de-
stroyed After a brief inquiry the
government forbade the making Of
any more filings for reservoirs on
the Rio Grandc in Colorado.
Attorney Frank c. Goudy and 9th
ers interested in irrigation schemes
in the San Luis valley fought the
matter out before the department of
the interior, and Mr., Goudy has re
ceived word that the government has
receded from its position.
The Rio Grande Reservoir com
pany, of which Mr. Goudy is a stock
holder and director, plans the con
struction of a 100000 reservoir
near Santa Maria lake, twenty-five
miles northwest of Creede. Mr.
Goudy says that the proposed nes-
ervoir will have a capacity of $4,000
acre feet of water. and will water
40 900 acres of land.

HE Is NOW \ PAUPER.

\ man who said he was james Me
NaIly, once the king Of Green
Goods Men" walked into the Centre
street police court sunday, and with
tears in his eyes. asked To be sent TO
the workhouse. He said he was
without home and without means
of support. He was sent TO the work
house for three months.
The man was in pitiable condi-
ton, the result of the long use Of
drugs and of exposure. Recently he
had driftcd TO the Bowcry lodging
house district, but his physical con-
dition was such that he could not
earn even the pittancc required to
live there.
McNally, in his prime, was clear
eyed and as smart Hs a steel trap.
For over fifteen years lie was cngag-
ed in the green goods swindlc and he
boasted that he had saved 5000, 900
of money thus gained in ten years.
McNnlly spent his money laviShly but
he had 500, 900 left when the postal
Authorities sent him To prison in
1896. This money, il is said hc en-
trusted to two men, but when hc got
out of prison, men and money We're
gone. His downward career began

Scotch Dialects.

reform Is an academic question. A
story which illustrates the many dia-
lects is told of an examination at Aber-
deem university. The examiners were
an English clergyman and a lowland
Scotchman. The master of the schol-
ars put many questions to them which
were admirably answered. The boys
brought the Israelites out of Egypt
with a simple directness which Moses
would have enyied. Then the clergy
man asked, How did Pharaoh die?'
The boys sat dumb. The lowlanderr

question, "Hoo did Phawraoh deep

American fashion each grasps his own
hands, lifts them as high as his chin

them down as low as possible, bend.

Monster Spider Crab..

81 have collected specimens of crabs
In all parts of the world" said a nat
uralist, 'but / shall never forget the
pleasure 1 experienced in securing a
monstrous specimen Of the Japanese
The combined length Of the feeding
arms of this monster vas more than
twelve feet, while the body portion
was about twenty inches across. When
alive, 1t weighed about seyenty-five
pounds. One of the oldest things
about these creatures is their ability
to assume a disguise. This feat they
are able to perform owing to the fexi-
bility of their pfnchers and to the
hooked hairs and spines with which
their numerous arms are studded. By
means of their plnchers they tear Off
small fragments of sponges and sea-
weeds. After first putting these to
their months, which contain a glutinous
saliva, they place them on the sur
face of their limbs and bodies by
sticking them fast with a rubbing
movement. BY this method the crab
succeeds In completely changing Its
appearance and rendering itself indis-
t~inguishable from the materials COM
mon to the bottom of the sea- While
crawling along it seems as though a
portion of the ocean bed was In mo-
ton, so close Is the resemblance"
1t Is a bad thing to 80 misplace your
confidence that you are lever able to
find 1t.
A man who thinks in terms Of thou
sands Of dollars doesn't know much
about the simple life.
When we hear that we have made an
impression some Of us wisely refrain
from asking what kind.
