A Morning Episode.

1t was Sunday morning in the sub
urbs The young man had been
awakened by quarrel in the sparrow
family that lived in the cornice OF his
1at-building
Because he could not WOO Morpheus
again. he got up. dressed and, strad-
ding his sisters bicycle, started for
the park.
Rip! Rippety! Bir!'
A city dog hurtled out of the yard
In time to see young chap take a
header into the sweet-brier bushes
that fringed the walk.
He had forgotten to put on panta-
loon guards and the gear had cut
liberal mouthful from the bottom of
ais left trousers-leg. throwing him
headlong.
He sworc softly as he dug around in
the woodshed for the guards, but un-
der the influence of morning ozone he
recovered his spirits and pedaled
along the boulevard buoyantly. The
air was rodolent of soft, subtle flavor
,ngs that tinllated the olfactory nerve
and tinsled delightfully."- in the lungs.
Lilacs violets, sweetshrub buds, APP
ple blossoms-all the odoriferous gal
axy of spring eNhaled their
sweet-smelling, balmy scents to charm
/ the wayfarer.
Arriving at the park. he rolled
along peacefully. so lost in reverie
/ of enjoyment that he almost ran into
a decidedly pretty young woman.
I whose shrill scream of fright brought
him back to himself and his surround
/ Ing with jolt.
WIN. Mr. Brown, To think it is
you who would thus ruthlessly ride
over lus witd your juggernaut!"
She loosed at him reproachfully
with mischief in her swapping eyes
Her lius were tantalzingly like ripe
cherries aud had played havoc with
/ his composgre on equal grounds ere
this-and NV she was actually de
/ ploying uaor his shattered forces with
/ her eyes,
His tongue got into a twist. the
| color mounted his brow and he was
making bad mess of it when n
! happy thought struck him. He would
/ loan her the bicycle. 1t belonged to
I his sister and was n drop frame. She
! could ride while he rested.
Miss stanton, I-I-beg your par
don. Here-take this wheel-and-
beautiful morning-smooth boule-
vard--"
He stopped suddenly! Her face had
changed it's witching contour to cold
and injured rigidity. That he had
greatly displeased her was evident, as
she bowed stifly and, passing into a
by-path, walked proudly away.
lilo pua stunned he stood there i'm.
movable. Then his eye dropped to his
right hand.
Horrors! He had not only offered
her the bicycle, but the pantaloon
guards as well.

in THE NAME
OF THE PEOPLE
To The Daily Sentinel,
Grand Junction, Colo.

There are no secrets in this cam
paign. Strictly practicing what he
breaches, Mr.. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted
which requires any promise, either
express or implied, other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERN
MENT.
Mr. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entang-
ling alliances, free to serve all class
es of honest citizens alike, or he will
not enter it at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people
The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses If they want pub
lie servants who will serve their in
terests.
Special interests and favored class
es, having secured "SWOLLEN FOR
| TUNES" by purchasing favors in the
past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED
TO CONTROL ELECTIONS. stand
ready to give MILLIONS MORE FOR
CONTINUED FAVORS. But that
class never gives a dollar unless it
buys pledge.
Mr.. Bryan says, from March 4.
1909, LET THE PEOPLE RULE. -
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, and control their
own elections.
BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS
BEARING GIFTS"
That policy of the favored few
buying mortgage on the govern
ment meant that the candidate for
president knew a few people only in
an entire state.
BRYAN says, I'VE will take the
cause of PEOPLES RULE home to
the people in every county
You can serve the grand cause of
popular government through the col
umns of your paper. 1t reaches the
fireside of the patriot who loves his
country for his country's GOOD; as
distinguished from the greedy pos
SCISSOR of swollen fortunes who loves
his country only for his country's S
GOODS.
Please carry this letter in your pa
per, asking everyone who favors gov
ernment by the people to pay you, at
once as many dollars as he can
spare to aid the campaign for BRY-
| AN. KERN AND PEOPLES RULE.

SHINES BY COMPARISON.

Colorado, with bumper crops and
with plenty of water in its irrigating
bitches, must be looked upon Just
now as something akin to Paradise
by the farmers of the middle states
who are suffering from the worst
drought in many years.
When a country entirely dependent
on rainfall does not get a drop for
more than six weeks, life itself fairly
becomes a burden. An editorial in
the indianapolis News thus sums up
the situation in Indiana:
Conditions are truly dis
tressing when springs and wells
go dry, when farm animals suf-
fer for water, farming opera
tions have to be suspended and
men and horses have to wear
goggles as protection against
the all-pervading dust. Such a
drought also causes a shortage
of some crops and brings serious
danger from field and forest
fires and from city conflagra-
tions."
When it is considered that the
Ohio river, in the dry bed of which
boys are now playing baseban, was
spreading devastation by flood about
three months ago, and tnat the en-
tire Middle West was suffering from
excess of rainfall as much as it is
now suffering from lack of water.
the resident of the Roc Mountain
region should feel duly grateful that
his lot is not cast in such a land of
extremes. At no time in this history
of Colorado has there been a year of
such double devastation by flood and
drought as the Middle West has srf-
fered this year. nor is there likely
TO be unless the nations climatic
conditions become totairy upset.
No wonder the homeseeker eX-
cursion trains to the West are filled
with disgusted farmers who have
turned to the land where Nature is
always in kindly moor.-Denver Re

the recent thousands Of dollars worth

on it makes it attractive and comfort

Order of Good Tempears Of the State.
The meeting was presided over by the
genial Merritt Morgan Of BenDing-

connection just now, ! will say that
