Just twenty-three years after the
gathering in that little adobe build
ing, or on yesterday, that Sunday
school met again. as 1t has been wont
to meet each Sabbath day for all
these years. But what a change.
Long years ago the adobe building
vanished and as time passed that
Sunday school had various meeting
places, and yesterday, it gathered as
It has gathered for many Sundays in
beautiful, modern and spacious Sun

bers there were enrolled as present
yesterday by Secretary NJ o. Della
plain, 334 members, or just 800 more
than had gathered at the birth of the
organization. What an evidence of
growth And yesterday the man who
presided over that great Sunday
school was the same man that was
most instrumental in the organiza-
tion of the little school 23 years ago.
Changes have come. in many offices
there have been many changes, the
boys and girls who enrolled as pupils

now, the members Of that little band
who were in the noon day of young
manhood and womanhood that long

Time, those old men and women who
were there that day are very feeble

these and many other changes have
come during that span of nearly a
quarter of a century but through
them all the guiding hand of that
organization has never changed, Will

twenty-three years ago, has been re-
elected annually every year since.
and is superintendent today, and if
the pupils and teachers of the Sun
day school have their way he will be
the ruling officer for years to come.
No Sunday school in Colorado has
more faithful. efficient, or popular
superintendent than William A.
Marsh, and few Sunday schools in the
land have the distinction of having
had the same man as superintendent
for such n period of years.

COLLECTING SHEEP TAX
Difficulties to be Discussed by
Assessors in January.


Considerable confusion is being ex.
pc rienced 10 the collection of the
predatory and sanitary taxes on sheep
this year On account Of the sheepmen
paying these taxes in the county,
where they have taken their fiocks
for few months and where they are
not taxed for the sheep.
The result Is that the sheepmen
are compelled to pay the tax again
when they return their focks to the
county wherein the sheep were origin
ally taxed, no provisions being made
by the statutes for the payment or
these taxes IN another county other
than the one where the sheep are
taxed. The question will probably
come up for discussion at the meeting
of the county assessors to be held in
and 1t is likely that some
arrangements will be made in this
respect.-Capital News.

The Truth About the Famous easilisI
of Ancient Times.


Of Ancient Times.
According to the ancient writer's,
Gays the Chicago News, the basilisk
sometimes called cockatrice-- was
. monster to be greatly dreaded.
Its breath filled the air with dead
ly poison and burned up vegetation,
and the glance Of its eye was fatal
to both man and beast. The only
creature that could face it and live,
they said, was the cock, and trav-
elers were advised to take loud
Growing cocks with them as pro-
lection against the monster. So
much for superstition. As a matter
of fact, the basilisk is harmless
lizard, living quiet life in the
woods and feeding on insects Its
appearance, however, is formidable,
and it is this perhaps that gave it a
bad name. 1t grows to length of
from twenty-five TO thirty inches,
including its tail, which is much
longer than its body. Rising from
its head and inclining backward is a
broad winglike expansion, which
gives it some resemblance I'd the
flying lizard. The crest Of this ex-
pansion is formed somewhat like q
crown, and that gave the basilisk
its name, which is from the Greek
word meaning ssking."

ROOSEVELT OUT Of Il
ReneWs His Statemet Declin-
Ing a Third Term.
SOME REASONS GIVEN.
TAFT Boom Growing. National
Bank Profits.


President Roosevelt has reiterat
ed his statement concerning
third-term, made on the night o
his election, and adds that he ha.
not changed and will not change
his attitude in the matter. Mr..
Roosevelt feels that he has the
sympathy Of the people Of the
country and, therefore, they have
appreciated that he meant what he
said in the original statement, but
ne has felt called upon to reiterate
It tor the benefit Of those politicians
who have expressed themselves as
dubious Of his real desires and
have been advocating third-term.
He made up his mind some time
ago that public statement would
be necessary but concluded to wait
until the national committee had
met and the call for the convention
had been issued.
The President, discussing re-
Gently his own plans for the future
with some intimate friends said
that It would take ten years off his
normal life to again run for the
Presidency and that whatever
might be his duty to his country,
ne felt his first duty was to his
family; therefore nothing would in
duce him to run again. Pressed
tor further explanation he said
that the two greatest occasions for
worry and anxiety in a political
campaign were the danger Of the
utterances Of fool friends and the
malicious falsehoods which certain
newspapers persistently printed. |
Throughout the last campaign Mr..
Roosevelt was never able to forget
how DR.. Burchard with a single
misguided utterance dashed from
before Mr.. Blaine the success he J
had almost attained and he fire.
quently told bis friends that he |
never retired for the night without |
wondering if when he read the
morning papers he would find that
he had been "Burchardized".
Speaking of the misrepresenta-
ton OF certain newspapers, the
President recently called the at |
tention of your correspondent to
New York afternoon paper which
is attempting to secure the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Hughes, the original
Hughes paper, in fact; and which
stops at nothing in the mendacious /
line in its efforts to attain its end. |
This dispatch, which was sent out
from Washington, declared that
Secretary Taft contemplated re-
signing from the cabinet because
the President had permitted the
Taft boom to lag during the Secre-
tary's absence from this country
j.
and had encouraged the Cortelyou
boom. OF course nothing could
be further from the truth. Mr.. |
Taft has no more intention of re-
signing from the cabinet than Mr..
Roosevelt has Of resigning from
the Presidency, according to the
President himself. Moreover, the
Taft boom is steadily gaining
strength, instead of tagging.
