to reason, that at some time or other
it must have been found out.
Mrs. R. Well, I'm an old woman,
anyhow, and I reckon the good man
won't mind what an old woman says
to him; so, bless the Lord, if [ live
to see the morning, I'll ask him about
it.
I knew that Ned was surpassed by
no man living in extricating himself
from difficulties; but how he was to
escape from this, with even tolera-
BILE credit to himself, I could not de-
wise.
The ladies here took leave Of Ned's
marvellous story, drew themselves
closely around the fire, lighted their
pipes, and proceeded as follows:

Mrs. S. Puff, puff, puff, puff.
And did he marry her?
Mrs. B. (Sighing deeply. No;
Jenny didn't marry her; pity he

Mrs. R. Well, I know'd a gal on

Mrs. S. (puff, puff, puff. And
what did he do?
Mrs. R. All! (puff, puff. Lord
bless your soul, honey, I can't tell
you what he did. Bad enough.
Mrs. B. Well, now, it seems to me
I don't know much about it-but
1t seems to me, men don't like to
marry gals that take on that way.
1t looks like it puts 'em out o. con-
ceit of 'em.
Mrs. S. I know'd one man that

"AS Told In the Hills"

Mhe Salt Lake Harald has the fol-
lowing to say of the play AS Told in
the Hills which appears here next
Tuesday evening, Jan. %.
If story of the western hills was
ever actually enacted out under the
blue sky as one was told under the
limelight of the Grand's stage last
night by Miss Dorothy Grey and her
associates under the direction of F.
W. Mann, one could understand per
haps an authors temerity in repro
ducing it for stageland.
However, doubts on the actuality of
''As Told in the Hills, - need trouble
no one. Fortunately such terrible
situations, plots aud counter plots as
Mr.. Mann's company go through
nightly ale reserved exclusively tor
the mimic world. The program this
week doesn disclose the name of the
playwright responsible for this thrill
er, and attention quickly settles on
the players and the realistic work
they do in carrying out the situations
of the piece.
It's a hummer for the gallery gods,
and not particularly bad for the par
quet, if one may Judge by the wei
come the drama received at the hands
of last nights audience. There are
Indian attacks on wagon trains, mur-
ders, kidnaplngs and at least three
we'll defined love scenes running
through the play The action is swift
and tense and surprise follows sur
prise in sensational climaxes. Space
forhids a review of the story, but
suffice it to say that of the melodramas
seen at the Grand this season "As
Told in the Hills must head the list
in point of surcharged action and plot
development.
Mr.. Mann has mounted the piece
realistically and has secured an ex-
cellent western atmosphere in his
scenes of plains and mountains.

Concerning Dendtured Alcohol

Ruedi, Colo, Jan. 10, 'O7.
Editor Glenwood Post,
Glenwood Springs, Colo,
Dear Sir
Having recently read an article
in one of the magazines relative to
the manufacture and uses of denatured
alcohol, it occurred to me that many
of your readers would be interested to
know some of the facts.
The article in question is by David
A. Gates, for many years past con
nected with the internal revenue de-
partment, and in regard to the uses of
alcohol he states that ii has value as
a producer of light double that of ker-
osene; and that recent experiments in
power demonstrate that it has ther-
nal efficiency 65 per cent greater than
gasoline. As motor fuel it has
been shown to be equally as efficient
as gasoline and without any of the
disagreeable exhaust gases and is not
nearly so inflammable.
A s to the cost of producing, corn,
mol asses and potatoes constitute the
principal sources from which it is OBJ
tained and a bushel of potatoes will
produce So gallon of the alcohol, the
refuse potatoes being quite as good
for the purpose as the commercial
The actual cost of obtaining the alco-
hol from potatoes is only few cents
per gallon which, with the facts al
ready stated, would make it appear
an interesting proposition for our po-
tato raisers as Secretary Wilson in his
statement before congress recently
said it was quite within bounds to
place the yield from an acre of pota
toes at 500 gallons. The article re.
fer to and from which get the fore
going facts and figures is in The
World Today for January.
YouIs very truly,
C. G. HARRIS.

Toward the high crest of the hills

Push onward and scale every rock

That lead from plain duty irdig-

The lane is a long one with never a

Though tears may oft blind the bright

With resolute fearlessness wine

Your efforts will meet with the
longed for fruition
If courage but nerves your strong
