OUIDA'S DEATH.

Probably the sale of her books nettod Oudia hundreds of thousands of dol lars. and yet she has died in poverty in a milEman's cottage near FIorcno"
 Like cuutioss others, who have Nch"seH aItistic ways IS Their road O. life, she created a false atmosphere for the benefit of others to such an extent that it grew to look real to herself and human needs were neglected.
 Attempting to sketch the idealistic she forgot the realistic and the misera- ble circumstances surrounding her death bed were a sad proof to her that the conservatories, bail rooms and mi ltary pomp she was so fond of depict ing are not all the component parts Cf mundane existence.
 But, she gave pleasure to countless thousands even though the improve ment impaued by her was scant
 Her heroes were all perfect and her heroines were things of beauty Her skies were always blue. her gardens full of flowers, and the strains of sweet music permeated the whole others who have had the time have borrowed her false atmosphere and lived for a moment in her world of tinsel delights
 Fron. the beautiful opera house ere ated by herself, from it's brilliant cos tunes and its intoxicating music, she passed before her death. as many oth- CTS have passed. into the dark, gloomy street outside where rain is falling through a smoky atmosphere on pias uf rubbish.

OHIO IN THE LIMELIGHT.

When there is anything doing in political way, ohio may be depended upon to step in and absorb it's full share of the limelight. ohio has fur nished the country several presidents, but those it has furnished are as noth- ing compared with the number it has stood ready to furnish on the slightest hint from the country that they were wanted. When won't there be a quad rennium with no ohio candidate for the nomination? In 1860 it began with Chase In 1864. a few votes were cast for Grant who was born in ohio. In lSGS. Ohio adopted Grant Tn 1872 il still had possession Tn 1876, Ohio produced Hayes, who had so many negative qualifications in a very posi- tive and somewhat heated convention that Ohio walked off with the nomina- tion. The game was repeated with variations in 1880 and Garfield was named. In 1884 and 1888 Ohio pinned her faith to Sherman who failed to ar rive. In 1892, Mckinley Began to be voted for and in 1896 and 1900 was nominated and elected. In 1904, there was some talk of a candidate to oppose Roosevelt and, of course. it was Ohio that was relied upon to produce the man. Mark Hanna would not stand, and for once Ohio was backed off the boards.
 But Ohio will make up for this in 1908. It will have two candidates Taft. the nominee of the people of ohio. and Foraker, the candidate of the ofiiceholdcrs of Ohio. Ordinarily this statement would seem to settle the controversy in favor of Taft. In near lY all the states of the union the people greatly outnumbcr the officehOlders. but not necessarily so in Ohio. The popular belief is that down there the count is tie, and that the officeholders by superior organization may beat the people.-Minneapoli Journal.

HIS AN AMUSING AUTOGRAPH.
Clyde Fitch Values That OF Brecken"
ridge, an Eccentric Jurist.

In Clyde Fftch's large collection or
autographs there is none that he
values more than letter Of the eccen-
trio and brilliant jurist, H. II. Breck,
enridge, on dueling.
Breckenridge, youth at the time,
replied to the challenge of British
officer with this amusing letter He
said:
Il have two objections to this duel
matter-the one is, lest l should hurt
you; the other is, lest you should hurt
me- | don't see what good it would
do me to put ball through your body.
| could make no use of you dead for
any culinary purposes, as | would a
rabbit or turkey. | am no cannlbal
to feed upon the flesh of men. Why,
then, shoot down human creature of
whom | can make no use? A buffalo
would be better.
You might make a good barbecue,
it is true, being of the nature of q
raccoon or opossum; but people are
not in the habit of barbecuing any
thing that is human now. And as to
your hide-it is not worth taking off,
being little better than a two-year-Old
colts.
LAS to myself do not like to stand
in the way Of anything that is hurtful
I am under the impression that you
might hit me. This being the case,
I think it most advisable to stay in the
distance. If you mean to try your
pistol, take objects-a tree or a barn
door-about my dimensions. If you
hit that, send me word and I will ac-
knowledge that if / had been in the
same place you might also have
hit me-"

Eggs is Eggs.

Let US sing the praise Of the
Great Ameaican Heu, who during
the past year, may well have cackl-
ed with pride over the production
of nearly one billion three hun
dred million dozens of eggs! Do
you realize what that means?
If, instead of remaining quietly
at home in Iowa, she had chosen
to demonstrate her powers to the
universe at large, the Hen might
have laid those eggs, each two
iuches long, end to end, in con-
tinuous chain reaching 238,SI8 up
to the moon, back again, and then
more than half way around the
world for good measure-a tota
of 4o2, 424 miles of eggs! Further
more, if those eggs had been made
into an omelet half an inch thick,
that omelet would easily have COW
cred Manhattan Island, an area Of
twenty-five square miles!
An old Mohammedan legend
tells that King Solomon used to
travel through the air with ali his
armies on wonderful flying car
pet, protected from the rays ofthe
sun by the wings of host of birds.
Now, according 10 the poultry
census, there are in the United
States about two hundred and
eighty millions of chickens, guinea
fowls, turkeys, geese and ducks
of the poultry voting age, which
is three monts or over. If requir-
ed to tusnish moving canopy
like that of King Solomon. the
barn yard-fowls of this country,
allowing only foot of spread to
each, would easily shadow a space
of ten square miles.-Arthur Gui-

TAPPlN-. THE euNNlsoN CANYON.
Engineering Enterprise Which Will
Transform Colorado Desert.

The most spectacular engineering
eminent is now on the point of com
pletion says the Technical World Mag.
azine Carried through under most
extraordinary and unprecedented diff
f1culties, its success is already abso-
lutely assured, and as result of the
achievement, 10000 acres, or about
235 square miles, Of desert in south.
western Colorado will soon be trans
formed into a blooming garden.
The principal feature of the enter.
prise in question was the boring of
a great hole through the base of q
mountain range six miles thick and a
half mile high, the object in view be-
ing to provide in this manner con
duit for the carrying of river across
to the other side Of the range, in or
der that it might irrigate and render
fruitful desert valley.
The river concerned is the Gun,
nison-a rapid and turbulent stream
which flows through the canyon Of the
same name, otherwise known as the
Black canyon This CANYON is per-
haps the most formidable and impass-
able in al the west It is a huge
cash, cut as with a mighty knife
through the landscape, and with walls
which for the greater part of its
length are almost vertical. Every hun
dred yards or so, along it's bottom,
! the passage Of the stream is obstruct-
ed by cataract SO far as known
up to the time Of the reconnaissance
by government engineers four years

RAIN A GREAT RELIEF TO ALL.
The Long Spell of Drouth Broken by a
Heavy Rain Storm-Forest Fires
ali 0ut-Heavy Timber Loss.

Saturday afternoon the town
was shrouded in darkness by a
heavy pail of smoke from the for
est fires south of town. The fire
along Mud creek, two miles south
of town, had been burning for the
past three weeks but they have
been closely watch until Saturday
when 40 mile wind drove the
fire towards town, and the dense
smoke made it look dangerous.
Every body turned Out and had
the fire checked when the well
come down pour of jfain put out
all of the fires in every direction,
Although the only danger to our
town was by articles blowing in up
On US, everything was kept wet
down, but the rain was relief TO
all as il cleared the air from the
unWelcome smoke and the dry
spell. Anton Petruszates a farm
er on the Scherible farm west OF
the railway track, and south of
Mad creek, lost his barn, hay and
household goods which he moved
out in the field while his house
was saved. Considerable of tim
Der throughout the county was
damaged and will have to be log
ged the coming winter to save the
timber. James Shelf lost some
furniture while moving it by
team.
The ram lasted about twenty
hours followed by snow storm.

TOLD OF a MEAN FARMER.
Gift Mare Eating His Inherited Grass
Aroused Him.

A leading official in the Young
Mems Christian association of New
YORK sold the other day of the late
Morris K. Jesup:
MI. Jesups charity was even broad
er than his wealth. Naturally, then,
he hated parsimony. l never saw him
indignant save when some instance of
parsimony would crop up.
"Opce he told us here of a partic-
ularly mean trick that had been played
upon him by multimillionaire. He
said that the man had inherited his
meanness. His uncle, a Westport
farmer, had been famed as a miser
all over Connecticut
''The farmers cousin died in the
Cos, and the old man attended the
reading of the will, for he had hopes.
And, sure enough, in one of the
later codicils a certain 80-acre field
was left him.
AS the bequest was read out the
farmer sat in his chair, rubbed his
hands and smiled dehghtedly about
the room
But the lawyer, reading on, made
known that the very good gray mare
then grazing in said field was be-
queathed to a nephew
cat this news the farmer clacked his
lips in rage and piped excitedly:
Then she's eatin' my grass -

PRIMITIVE WEAPONS OF WAR.
How the Ancients Who Inhabited Mex
leo Fought with CLUBS.

Clubs We're the weapons Of primitive
and savage man. Ancient specimens
from Mexico are heavy sticks grooved
along the side for the insertion of
blades of obsidian-that is, volcanic
glass. The Sioux club is fat piece
of wood, curving and widening away
from the grip and terminating in a
spherical head, which in modern times
carries a long spike, while the blades
OF several butcher knives are com
monty inserted along the margin. The
national museum of the United States
posse sses a great variety of these
shocking weapons, designed, as the
frontiersmen say, to knock down the
white man and then to brain him and
cut him into m.ce meat" The Kings
mill islanders and other Polynesians
make dreadful slashing weapons by
securing rows of sharks teeth along
haft of wood
These weapons vary from a few
inches to 16 feet in length; and it has
been said that in all the range Of
weapons devised by mankind there is
nothing more blood-curdling to behold.
They show how the sword may have
been evolved from the club, even by
tribes unacquainted with the use of
metals. African weapons, again, are
exceedingly complicated, owing to the
acquaintance of the natives with iron.
The standard club is converted into
sort of tomahawk by the addition Of
blades, or into a primitive spear by
the addition Of a sharp spud. The
plain clubs in the African area are
used chiefly for throwing.
The small knobbed clubs, or "ker-
ries," such as are found among the
Kafirs and other African tribes, are
generally used as missiles. Whereas
the club proper was soon brought to
perfection among savage tribes, and
was long ago abandoned as weapon
of civilized warfare, the missile
typified by the thrown clubs, Or "ker-
ries"-is still being improved upon in
boomerangs, bows and arrows, cross
bows and firearms. News.
