t will be admitted that a man
who is to play the part of a ser
q pent might select a better day
than March II for such per-

Ter, however, the decision was not
made in advance, but upon the impulse
Of the moment Circumstances, he
would claim. and not deliberate choice
put him into the role OF tempter Of his
friend
He was an EngliShman in q national
guard regiment whose roster shows q
clear majority OF good old Irish names.
According to its custom, this regiment
paraded on St Patrick's day in an
east wind which for penetrating chill
was unmatched in the memory of any
soldier or civilian in the procession.
After the parade and the resumption
of his ordinary attire Miller came out
upon the steps Of the armory, and the
first gust that struck him made his
teeth chatter. Immediately he was
aware of Il shivering, childish voice
which said:
a note for you, lieutenant. 1t came
to the house after you'd left"
Miller beheld Il blue visaged boy
named Michael Healy. whose mother
was landlady at the house where the
guardsman boarded
Miller took the note from the boys
hand, ordered him to report to his
mother and dismissed him. with fat
tering Formally. Then as he walked
along the street the lieutenant opened
and read the communication, which
disclosed to him the fact that he would
not have the pleasure OF escorting Miss
Florence Lantry to the masked bail to
be given that evening. The young
lady, who had been visiting her cousin,
Miss Kate Mahan, had been called sud
denly home.
For certain reasons the reading of
this note set up such a confusion of
thought in Miller's brain that he forgot
TO continue walking. but the extraOrdi-
nary chill OF the afternoon struck to
his vitals as soon as he stopped. At
that moment door opened opportune~
ly just beside him. and lie walked into
the ornate cafe OF a hotel
The warmth of the place affected him
with a childish sense Of gratitude. The
arnOry had been as cold as a bGrn-al-
most uncomfortable. in fact-after five
hours out OF doors on that raw day.
He had thought that he should freeze
while changing from his lieutenants
uniform to his civilian clothes, and his
vitals still Quivered with the chill. \
temptation to have something to drink
assaulted him. and he moved toward the
bar. but turned aside and stood irres-
Olute in n corner.
Presently he was aware of voices
just outside the window by which he
was standing. Half Il dozen members
Of his regiment had halted there, and
one was saying:
Come along. Larry. One drink on Il
day like this can't hurt a fellow"
Miller was alert in Il moment. Pre-
viOusly more than half his mind had
been concerned with the note from

He thrust the note into pocket of his
Overcoat and walked to the door.

He took a step Or two forward and

Blessed Christina. Time

Blessed Christmas Time
Ave Christmas time is with US
again. To many the Christmas time
brings joys and pleasures. To others
there is a remembrance of a break in
the serenity of their lives. an incident
which overshodows all the ~joyfulness
which the Christmas week may bring
1t Is a time when all earth rings with
the joyous tidings: Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men," But it Is not meet
that we should allow depression OF
spirits to subdue the pleasures OF our
innumerable blessings nor in our sor
row to forget that the birth OF Jesus
occurred at this season. He, who never
sought for wealth nor the worlds
comforts but went about doing good,
only to suffer all the anguish and hu
initiation that an angry mob could
infiict, to rise again in greater splendor
and whose name has ever since filled
the earth with hope. So let us follow
in His footsteps and do what we can
to make others happy on this great
day. We may not have riches to share
but we can take our neighbors and
friends by the hand and wish them a
happy Christmas, n sometimes a
smile and a cheerful word means more
to a 6own-trodden heart than silver
or gold.-Fremont Republican.

A U IN THE GOOSE.

Mr.. Robert M. Jones, an engineer OF
national reputation, asserts that he has
discovered a fault in Big Goose creek
that Is taking from that stream at one
point approximately 90 pei, cent of its
flow. Mr.. Jones says this fault a be
cured at no great expense and the wa
ter saved for the people. AS the valley
below is tremendously rich in It's pres
emit and prospective agricultural re.
sources. it would seem the part of wis.
dom to give the matter thorough study.
The correction of this fault is probably
more than an individual or a company
could undertake, hence 1t should be
given consideration by the state.
Mr.. Jones is the talented gentle
man who constructed the Laramie cleo,
trio light plant, the Big Cottonwood
power plant at Salt Lake City, the big
plant at Victor that carries power to
Pueblo for the running Of the street
railway system and several other big
enterprises. He see big things in a
big way and is a very successful man.
1t will be recalled that he married one
of Laramie's most charming teachers,
MISC Barton. From this union five
bright. capable boys have sprung. One
is about to graduate from the Universe

In the opinion of Senator Warren
the greatest opposition to a bill provid
ing for a government guarantee of de
posits in national banks would come
from state banks and trust companies
who fear that the additional security
given the national organizations would
nave a tendency to draw deposits
There is no question but that this
would be the result and the state
banks would be forced to reOrganize
under the national banking act. II
would be a mighty good thing If some
of the trust companies were compelled
to go out OF business, after the fashion
of the Knfckerbocker.
