spiritually to the fact that your cody
father and mother were preserved to
train your youthful steps in life?
A Marrow Escape.
OF course we all know that spiritual
life comes from Jesus Christ alone. He
is the vine, and we are the branches.
But we also know that Christ works
by human agency. He sends certain
disciples to us to lead us to the living
waters. In many cases these disciples
are our parents. II we had not been
led to the cross by a Christian father
or mother, many of us would never
have knelt there ut all. And yet do
you not remember when as little boy
in the most critical time Of your life
you almost lost that mother OF yours,
who was to be your best spiritual
guide? Do you not remember the aw-
full sickness she had when you were
about ten years Of age? Once. twice.
sometimes three or four times day
the doctor came to the house. You re-
member how the doorbell was mufiled
and perhaps the sawdust was thrown
rumbing carriage wheels. The younger
children were sent away to a neigh
boris. You were kept at home in or
der to run crrands when the medicines
were needed. You can still remember
the solemn faces about you. You did
not understand what 1t all meant at
that time but you do now. You re-

erything was in excitement and they
said she would never come out OF that
sinking spell. but the doctor got there
Just in time. All. 1t was an awful
night! You remember how you went
to your father and said, Papa, can l
go in and kiss mamma tonightT and
he said: flush. Charley! Hush! Your
mother Is very sick. Let me undress
you and hear you say your prayers"
Then you remember as he kissed you
good night he left II tear on your lips.
You remember during that night you
| lid not sleep wink. Aye. she had an
! awfully close call. If she had died
where would you be mentally, spirit
nally and physically today? Yes. your
| Christian mothers life hung on the
! balance that night; it was spared to
you by the narrowest of margins
Have you been thankful for that es
cape? Today we should not only thank
God for saving our own lives. but also
for saving the lives of those upon
whom our early mental and spiritual
development was dependent. And
they escaped all safe to land

A Republican View

In Mr.. Vivian's list OF expenditures
will be found the sum OF 1892 paid to
newspapers OF the state as he was Of
the opinion that the republican papers
would be loyal and set up columns Of
comments regarding the state candidates
without ever receiving red cent. We
notice that he has sl008335 charged to
"incidentals," whatever that is. Mr..
Wards expenses show that Sl0,352 "a
was paid to the democratic papers How
well Vivian succeeded with the half
hearted assistance of part Of the repub-
lican papers of Colorado was shown by
the democratic landslide in this state.
He also lost $500 per year job as
state register. But he may be able to
live on "incidentals" for awhile.-Pall-
sade Tribune.
From the viewpoint Of great number
OF republican country editors, there is in
the above considerably more truth than
poetry and poetry of the "incidentals'
type appeals quite as much to the coun-
try editor as it does to Mr.. Vivian and
the bunch OF alleged republicans who
handled the campaign fund. Out here
we pay our bills with it when we happen
to connect with any OF it. We predict
that the massive intellects at the head
of the late campaign will have to stand
for right smart bunch Of this brand OF
comments as time wears on.

A Christmas BOUQUET

In everyday life few over stop to say
good word and encourage a paper in
its work, but occasionally there is one
who is willing to cheer us on and show
his appreciation, in proof OF which we
present the following:
I've read most all the papers that are published
in the west.
And l think your county paper is among the
very best;
Why don't the ranchmen use 1t more is what 1
want to know,
And when they want TO advertise, give you little
show7
They get returns in money from every ad put in
And when they use your paper it brings them in
the tin.
All editors need money to make their papers
good;
They can't get up the paper and live by saving
wood.
So put this in your paper and let the people know
II they will advertise their stock and give you a
little show.
Or just hand in subscriptions whenever they
drop in,
They'll have splendid paper and you will have
more tin.

many were the unseen and unexpected
difficulties encountered that at one
time Sir Benjamin Baker, under whose
advice the plans were accepted, stated
to Lord Cromer that he could form no
estimate of the actual cost or time that
when the rotten rock" In the bed of
the river was discovered was that.
though conditions were bad, the job
could be done" To which Lord Gro
mer replied that whatever the cost in
time or money, the dam must be fin

This shows the spirit in which this
gigantic enterprise was conceived and
accomplished. On December 10, 1902,
after three years of prodigious labor.
the dam was formally declared COM

from single state was that from Col

very plainly the very remarkable diff

different methods of cultivation and
conditions of climate. The Colorado
apples, grown under irrigation and in
dry climate, were uniformly larger

Fruit Buds and Frost.

d. Many people are curious to know
how buds on fruit trees may burst
forth into what appears to be full
bloom after 1t is known that the crop
has been ruined by frost. The young
pistil. In the very center. is the most
sensitive to frost Of all the parts Of the
flower. and 1t must be examined before
injury can be detected. If 1t has been
injured 1t will be found to be shriveled
and dsco,ored. The condition of the
fruit buds can be determined at any
time during the winter by this means.
But while the pistil may be dead the
petals are often uninjured and may ex.
pand as though the blossom were cap
