How Will the World End2

It has always been an intensely IN.

at the same time, the greater part OF
the other intelligent members of soci-

think that it will be through the gradu-
al cooling of the sun, which will even
tually fail to give out sufficient heat
to sustain life ON our planet. But an
other-and particularly unpleasant
fate that might befall US is explained
in work by Mr.. Ellard Gore. Real
danger says he. SIS always to be
feared from the presence OF immense

Meilhae and a Costly Dish That He
Did Not Eat.

Among the most absentminded Of
geniuses was the French composer,
Meilhae. On the occasion of the first
presentation Of one of his operas Neil
hac, in evening dress, entered fash
ionable restaurant and threw himself
down at table, thinking earnestly
about the event Of the evening and
nothing else.
A waiter brought him a menu. Neil
hac, man of very simple tastes in
the matter of food, abstractedly indi-
Gated with his finger the first dish on
the bill that his eye had struck. Now
it CHANGED that this was the most elab-.
crate and costly dish on the bill, and
when the waiter went to the kitchen
with the order there was in conse-
.quence great commotion there. The
proprietor himself was summoned, and
he and the principal chef devoted them
selves to the preparation Of the famous
dish. One man was sent for this
choice ingredient and another for an
other. Meanwhile Meilhac waited, alb
sorbed.
At last the dish was brought with a;
great flourish, and the proprietor, with
IA proud smile, stood not far away to
observe the result. When it was de-
posted in front of him Meiihac regard
ed the dish with an expression of mel
ancholy interest.
did order that?" he asked.
'.Certainly, NJ. Meilhac.''
'Do you like it 2"
Yes yes, monsieur; but #
"Then kindly take it away and eat it
yourself" ordered Meiihac, .and bring
me two fried eggs" Chicago Record

Then, picking up the dead leaf OF q
cabbage three which had fiuttered to
the ground, he held it out loosely be-.
tween his fingers, at arms length. His.
withered body was naked to the hips
the sun was high In the heavens no
deception was possible After repeat
Ing an incubation he invited his Wis
itor to look Lo, the leaf had become
green! The strong minded, highly edu-
Gated Englishman had no belief in
some mental influence the decrepft
Polynesian was able to make the virile
white man believe that what he saw
was a fresh green leaf, vet it was in
reality still a dry brown one.
The end of the last of the tohungas
was both singular and pathetic. On
that terrible night in June, 1885, when
the Pink and White Terraces were lost
to New Zealand and darkness came
over the land, Tohoto was sleeping at
Wairoa village. He was buried be-
meath the rain of ashes, and it was
seven days before he was dug out of
the ruins Of his hut He was very
feeble after his long onflnement In a
hole that must have been for a time
scarcely less hot than an oven, and he
was black with the ashes from the
volcanic eruption. Yet had he been
left alone he might have recovered,
but they took him to the hospital at
Rotorua, where, probably in ignorance
Of the awful sacredness In which the
head is held among Maoris and espe-
cially that of tohunga, the white and
matted hair and beard were cut off.
1t was the most terrible and degrading
thing that could have happened to To
hoto. His personal tapu had been vic
lated, and this, preying on his mind
killed him.

Equal TO Occasions.

Lord Whitworth, who held various
posts of honor in English diplomatic
circles, was a kindly, gracious gentle
man as well as wit and man Of
the world. He had indeed almost
measured swords with Napoleon ait
the Tuileries when that despot rallied
at England for not having evacuated
Egypt and Malta, accused her Of hav-
ing violated treaties and ended by
fiourishing cane dangerously near
the face of the English ambassador
Lord Whitworth put his hand on
the hilt Of his sword.

emperor had struck you I. he was aft

would have felied him to the
ground was the quiet answer.
Perhaps the best story told Of him
ID one showing how bis quick wit dis
posed Of a rival, When he was at
the Russian court, Fox sent there as
a sort Of ambassador OF his own q
man named Adair, the son Of a sur
gecn.
One day the empress, speaking ID
French, said to Lord Whitworth:

MI Adair?'
Not so very, madame, replied Lord
Whitworth, although his father was
grand saigneur,'' remark which
readers Of French will recognize al
very good pun. for the word used
BY Lord Whitford means blood let

CARE or THE VIOLIN.
The Way to Keep an Instrument In
Good Conditions.

The Way to Keep an instrument IN
Good Condition.
The fact that a violin will survive a
thousand calamities lie rightly repaired
is no excuse for knocking 1t about or
neglecting it.
There are a few little attentions
which easily become habits and which
90 a long way toward keeping a violin
In good condition. The firstsis to keep
that coat Of resin does a violin good
lis ridiculous. Besides spelling the var
nish, it is apt to get into the pores OF
the wood. Dust quickly forms a crust
on violin which is difficult to remove.
Therefore after being played upon the
instrument should always be wiped off.
1t takes only a few moments to brush
the resin from under the bridge and An
ger board. For this purpose soft
linen or silk cloth should be kept In the
violin case.
4 Never try to polish your violin with
oil Many valuable instruments have
been hopeIessly ruined BIZ experiments
Of this kind.
The well known instrument maker
j. A. d Otto says that the inside Of a
violin should be cleaned out every
half year with a handful OF barley
made rather warm and poured in at
the f-holes. Then, by properly shak-
ing the instrument, the dust will adj
here Ito the barley and come out
through the f-holes I,
The question of strings Is an impor-
tant one to all violinists. Cheap strings
never pay. They either break quickly
or they become false. 1t is much more.
economical to buy the best Italian
strings and then to take good care OF
them. Strings that are left on the yfo-
| lin very long become hard and dry and
have often to be discarded before they
break. However, il a little care is
taken OF them they win keep a long
time IN good sonorous condition. Rub
them OF with q soft cloth dipped In
olive Or almond oil. Besides being q
neurishment to the string the oil re-
i moves the hardened resin which col
iects under the bow and which pro-
duces rasping, grating kind Of sound.
Then, also, the oil cleans away the
traces OF perspiration from where the
4 fingers touch and thus prevents the
strings from growing false. OF course
the oil must be thoroughly cleaned of
4 again before the bow is applied.
II Is good plan to have your spare
strings wrapped IN oil paper and KEEP
iii d tight Tin box or glass jar. as they
are just as sensitive to heat and cold
and dampness as are those on the vic

$1,000 A YEAR

On Tuesday evening the United
Presbyterian congregation held a pic
mic and business meeting at the
home of Mrs. Mary McElroy north
east of Greeley. At the business
meeting it was decided to put cement
walks around the church property
and a sufficient amount of money
was raised. After picnic supper on
the lawn an immense bonfire was
built. A large number Of members
were present.
Thursday the Methodist Sunday
school neld their annual picnic on
the Poudre river four miles southeast
of town. About one hundred went
out in the forenoon and enjoyed the
picnic dinner. They were driven
home in the afternoon by the rain
and drenched on the way but all
declare they had splendid time.
The teachers of the primary de-
partment of the M. E. Sunday school
entertained the fifty members with
a picnic party In the church base
ment. One small room was deco
rated to represent forest. with
cookie doll for each guest suspended
from the branches. Then there was
a lemonade we'll surrounded by vines
and flowers and there was big pic
mic dinner with plenty of ice cream.
The little ones are sure that their
picnic was the best Of all.
On the same dag the First Presby-
terian congregation and Sunday
school held their annual picnic at
Wylie's grove.
The rain in the afternoon changed
the plans of the Unitarians, who
had expected to have a picnic sup
per at Island Grove park Thursday.
Owing to the weather the supper was
served In the church but proved a
very ENJOYABLE affair, nevertheless.
The Bapttsts we're more fortunate
in their selection of days. On Fri
day they picniced at the Gross ranch
east of Greeley and had good day
and good time.

GOOD WHEAT CROP
Satisfactory Yield and Prices in
Weld County

Weld county's fifteen thousand
acres of wheat is In the shock and
much of it threshed and 1t comes
near bieng bumper crop, averaging
from thirty i've to forty bushels to
the acre. In the immediate vicinity
OF Greeley the acreage is slightly
larger than usual, due to the rota-
tion OF crops practiced here and the
planting of wheat where beets we're
grown last season. A conservative
estimate places this county's yield
this year at 100, 600 bushels, OF which
about a fifth is grown in territory
tributary to Greeley. The price
makes the grower smile, being sl.2o
per hundred, about - cents bushel.
After supplying the three mills IN
this county the balance OF the crop
goes to supply Denver mills. The
wheat Is of an unusually high grade,
being almost free from imperfectiot's
OF any sort. There will be larger
acreage than usual of fall wheat
sown, though spring wheat continues
to lead in popularity because OF It's
use in rotating crops. James
Graham, near Seely lake, has the
banner yield, harvesting sixty'six
and one. third bushels to the acre
from land that raised potatoes last
year. Asa Decker raised 4'ooo
bushels of Turkey Red wheat on land
that had but one irrigation north'
east Of Greeley, averaging forty
bushels to the acre. Soca,led dry
farms have been failure for wheat
this season. Hail did no damase
except In the vicinity of kersey ana
Evans. In very small areas.

GETS QUICK PARDON
Greeley Man Set Free By Cover
nor Last Thursday

Arthur Robertson, under peni-
tentiary sentence which was not yet
begun, was pardoned in this city by
Governor Buchtel last Thursday.
Robertson was construction fore
man with the Northern Colorado
Power company and with Charles
Whaples was sentenced two months
ago to serve fkpm eighteen months
to three years for larceny OF copper
wire valued at 5000. which they stole
from the power company. Robert
son confessed, told all the particu-
lars of the taking of the wire and to
whom it had been sold and after
sentence was held in the county jail
here as witness against the party
who received it.
During his trial the Northern
Colorado Power company never lost
faith in Robertson, believing that
he was lured into the theft by
Whaples, of whom it was afterward
learned that he had a criminal
record. The Northern Colorado
Power company, with D. E. Car
penter, Robertson's attorney, has
worked increasingly for his pardon
and through them the signatures
of Judge Garrigues, Judge Gamble,
who sentenced Robertson, the officers
of the court and many citizens were
on the petition for the
pardon.
Robertson, who is an expert cleo
trician, has spent his time in jail
rewriting it. The officials OF the
Northern Colorado Power company
saw that their confidence In Robert
son remains the same, that he is one
of the best workmen In their employ.
Monday he started to work on his
lob which he left two mouths ago.
He Is twenty-six years of age and
has a wife and child.

foul MURDER
DUTCH FRANK MARX KILLED
IN HIS CABIN
Head Crushed With Club and no
Witness to Deed-Thorough
Investigation to Be
Made

Frank Marx, known better as
Dutch Frank, ~ was beaten to death
with club In his cabin seven miles
up the Poudre some time Sunday
night. His body was found Monday
night about dark and is now in
charge of the coroner.
Marx was out on Wildcat creek
Sunday rounding up horses with a
man by the name of Smith and came
home Sunday afternoon by way of
Evans, stopping there to buy pint
of whiskey. The two men then rode
past Marks cabin, where he stopped,
while Smith, who was riding one of
Marks horses, went on to Windsor.
Monday afternoon he sent the horse
back to Marx by couple Of young
men, who, being unable to arouse
ANYBODY, entered the cabin and
found the old man dead in his bed,
partially undressed and his head
crushed with club, which was left
on the floor.
Word was phoned to the sheriff
and he with Coroner Macy left for
the scene of the murder. Marx had
been dead probably twenty-four hours
when found. No suspicion attaches
to Smith, In fact there seems no clue
of any sort to the murderer. 1t is
supposed to be the work of tramps.
| Marx came to the country fort,
years ago and lived a hermit life II
a cabin on the Poudre mile from ,
neighbor. He was horse trader
and bore good reputation, though
he has had more or less trouble the
past few years over stock. He was a
pensioner and had no money. Marx
was wounded in the war and was
considered queer by his neighbors.
A couple of years ago he was charged
by the humane society with allowing
his horses to suffer from star vation,
but the case was not proven.

BOYD LAKE OUTLET
Finishing Touches to Be Put on
Reservoir Soon

| Plans have been received aud SUBJ
mitted to contractors for bids by B.
d. Sanborn of this city for outlet
gates and towers and 3O0-foot tun-
mel for Boyd's lake, two miles north
east of Loveland The water from
this reservoir will be emptied into
the Thompson river at the head of
the Hillsboro ditch for direct use in
that ditch, the object being to sup
ply water by exchange for use in the
Greeley s. Loveland ditch, which
waters the couDtry between Greeley
and Loveland, and possibly supply
other canals similarly situated above
the level of the lake. Boyd's lake is
already full of water and covers 1000
acres of land, being four miles long
and a mile wide. The tunnel and
outlet as now to be constructed will
draw off a depth of thirty eight feet
of water. On the same basis of
valuation as the water in Lake Love-
land sells for Boyd's lake has a value
of 81, 300, 900. Its owners, however,
make no claim as to its being worth
such sum, for there are good rea-
sons why for irrigation purposes this
reservoir is not of the same value as
the one with which comparison is
made. Boyd's lake is reservoir
without dam, being a natural de-
preston, its only outlet being
through the tunnel now under con-
temptation. An unusual method is
being used to construct the outlet for
this lake. From the end Of the 300
foot. tunnel an outlet fifty feet wide
on top and fifteen to fifty feet deep
is being made.
Two 3O-inch trenches have been
dug thirty feet apart, starting from
the end of the 3OO-foot tunnel. From
the Greeley & Loveland ditch, which
runs along the south rim of the lake,
water is taken by friendly arrange
ment and run into the shallow
trenches, the action of the water
wearing away the dirt faster than
any machinery could remove it and
at but fraction of the cost.
