change is coming over the orthodox
view of prayer under the influence of scien-
tiic thought. The mood of prayer in all
churches becomes less that of petition and
more than of gratitude and submission.
Prayer becomes more and more subjective,
really addressed to mans own higher nature,
and less directed to the Deity, who is for
mally addressed. With an increasing num-
Der of persons prayer ceases to have mean

RANCHMAN CONVICTED
OF STEALING CATTLE

J. E. Scott was last evening con-
victed OF the larceny of livestock and
unless new trial is granted he will
serve a term in one of the penal In
stitutions OF the state. Tho verdict
came within q few minutes after the
case waS given to the jury, and altar
two days had been consumed in the
taking Of testimony and in arguments
upon the part of counsel.
The Fremont county ranchman was
accused OF having run off cattle be-
longing to the Wolfe estate. driving
them to Fremont county and selling
them to a Arm OF butchers. Scott al
legged that he had purchased the ami
mails from one Melrose, and he pro-
duced a bill Of sale to substantiate his
claim. The jury was convinced Of the
utter falsity Of this bill of sale and It
did not take long to convict. This is
one Of the few cases Of larceny Of
livestock known to the history OF tho
cattle industry in Colorado where q
conviction was had.-Pueblo Star
