LESS THAN THE
AVERAGE THIS WINTER

The snowfall bulletin of the Colo
RADIO section of the chronological ser
vice of the weather bureau for Janu-
ary, shows that, as a whole, the pre-
cipitation was somewhat less than US
ual, with here and there the usual
amount, or an excess, notably in the
upper drainage areas of the Gunnison,
the Grand and the Yampa rivers.
The following extracts from the re-
ports show the prevailing conditions
at representative points along the
Arkansas river watershed at the close
of the month.
Leadville-The snowfall thus far
will give more than the usual water
supply.
Granite-The fall has been greater
than usual.
Salida-Considerab snow has fall
len in adjacent mountains, and the
outlook is favorable to good flow.
Turret-Southern slopes are bare.
Winfield-The outlook for water is
not as good as a year ago.
whitehorn-The snow is confined
to the timber and north hillsides.
Rosita-The month just closed has
been the driest January since 1870.
westcliffe-While there is not the
average amount of snow in the noun
tains, it is well packed.
Sharpsdale-Thes snow above timber
line is confined to the gulches.
Dean-There is no snow in locali-
ties where the wind has had full
sweep.

How Indians Tan peerskin.

The skin dressing of the Indians,
both buffalo and deer skins. is general
ly very beautiful and soft. They
stretch the skin either On a frame or
on the ground, and after it has remain
ed there for three or four days, with
the brains spread over the fleshy side,
they grain it with a sort of adj or
chisel. After the process of granting,
though the skin is apparently beauti-
fully finished, it passes through an
other process-that Of smoking. For
this they hang the skin on a frame
in a smoke proof house or tent. The
fire is made at the bottom out of rot
ten wood, which produces a strong and
peculiar smell. The fire must be smoth-
cred to make the smoke. The grained
skins must be kept in the smoke fol-
three or four days, and after this the
skins will always remain the same
even after being wet, which does not
belong to the dressed skins in civilized
countries.-"Life Among the Indians

motto Another thing about the little
folks that I've noticed is that they
have learned how to conserve their
energies and how to take care of them
selves. Your big man almost invaria-
bly, is reckless with his strength. The
very generosity of large nature,
suppose, makes him care little about
his time, his health and innumerable
other things. He has an impression
that he can do pretty much anything
he sets out to do, and the chances
are that he does not devote overmuch
energy to preparation. The little fell
low, on the other hand, knows that he
has a physical handicap, so far as az
pearances go anyway, and he does his
best to overcome Exchange.

Too Much Collection.

A Scottish gentleman paying visit
to London was taken by his nephew to
q service in St Paul'S cathedral. He
had no acquaintance whatever with
the liturgy of the Church of England.
He picked up prayer book and be-
came very much interested, but as he
turned over the leaves his face be-
came clouded with look of intense
anxiety. He placed the prayer book
carefully down, looked cautiously
around, picked up his hat and crept
stealthily to >the door. His nephew
followed him and said:
Are you i'll, uncle? What is the
matter!"
The uncle replied: mo. But it IS
enough to make any man i'll to see the
number of collections made in this
kirk

surprise. IF there is any at all, there
certainly won't Be more than one"

WASHINGTON Liked to Fish.

Grover Cleveland was not the only
president of the United States who
dearly loved to fish. There was a fine
precedent for his fishing expeditions in
the outings of George Washington.
In his diaries he tells uS that he went
a-dragging for sturgeon" frequently.
In 1877. while in Philadelphia. he got
fishing tackle and went up to his old
camping ground at Valley Forge. where
he spent u day casting his lines. Two
years later he was at Portsmouth. and,
as he writes, having lines. we pro-
ceeded to the fishing banks a little
without the harbOr and fished for cod;
but, it not being proper time OF
tide, we only caught two" That year
he became president. the capital being
New York. In newspaper of 1870
there is an item that yesterday the
president OF the United States return
ed from Sandy Hook and the fishing
banks. where he had been for the ben
eft of the sea air and to amuse him
self in the delightful recreation of fish
ing. We are told he has had excel
lent sport, having himself caught a
great number of sea bass and black
| fish"

Washington. 'I will not encourage
such extravaganza in my house"
Some hypercritical people have had
the effrontery to doubt the little Ratchet
story, but here are three other tales
rejecting Washington's love of truth,
and these will stand, at least till the
advent of the next knockers" brigade.
The first is of battle with colt The
animal was we'll blooded, but wild,
and was much priced by Washington'S
mother. One day George attempted to
ride the wild colt and did SO. remain
ing on the animals back until it broke

fast the mother asked about her favor

George II killed him" He then told
the circumstance without evasion or
hesitation.

animal to any one who would ride
him to the next town and back again
without dismounting. George. always

time he returned, still on the animals
back. The stabIeman proposed to make

The third concerns negro. 1t was

add. Not only had many valuable gifts
been left at his house, but some one
had added greatly to the Availability
and comfort of his dwelling. Could
Mr.. Thayer explain that?
For n minute Bonny hesitated. AS he
did so he glanced up to where the Fa-
Their of His Country looked down from
the drapery of flags. A merry twinkle
came into his blue eyes, and, with q
low bow. first to the doctor, then to the
professor, he said:
"Sir cannot tell lie. did it with
my little hatchet"
He took his seat amid a storm of ap.
plause.
Strange as it may seem, the little in
cident worked wonders. First it led
the faculty to make inquiries which re-
suited in an increase in the professor
salary and also to the transfer of him
self and his wife to comfortable lodg.
ings in the college building.
Warmed by the kindly influences
thrown around him, the little old pro-
fesSor seemed to become a new man.

flee on April so, 1889 Furthermore, it
marks the exact financial center of the
nation whose destinies Washington so
ardently proclaimed to congress and
the assembled multitude on that faroff
day.
When General Washington, on his
way from Philadelphia, came up the
bay in handsomely decorated barge
all the vessels in the harbor except
one were decked with flags. and there
was a continuous roar of saluting guns.
The single vessel which wore no gala
dress was the Spanish man-of-war Gal
weston. She stood OFF Governors island

was feeling of Indignation among the
crowds on shore when this was no

manned as if by magic and her rig

flags as her guns crashed out the pFeSi-

m waiting to convey the president to
his lodgings in Cherry street. but he
preferred to walk. leading 4 civic and
military parade up Broadway.
At dawn on the following day the
national salute was fired at Bowling
Green. General Washington arrived
with a military and civic escort at Fed

senate chamber. AS he entered Vice

was looked upon by all of us as an
intruder. Manifestly an alien, his gro
tesque appearance and halting Eng
lish were the subjects of numerous
rude jests. He occupied with his wife
poor old house just beyond the cam
pus.
Professor Dimmit, who had held the
position before him, had acquired his
German at Heidelberg. He was
splendid specimen of manhood, genial,
brilliant and handsome-a veritable
hero among us. We could easily for
give him for resigning the position to
take a better one, but we could not
forgive Professor Droombach for TAX
ing his place.

whose love for Professor. Dimmit had
amounted to something like hero wor-
ship, and he was never able to look at
his favOrite's successor without insti-
tuting Il comparison between the two.
Indeed, he had persuaded himself that
his i'll feeling toward Droombach was
NIT. 1t is not necessary to enter into
the details of the plan that was finally
settled upon. Enough heavy cotton
cloth had been purchased to cover the
entire outside of the professors wretch
ed house. With the aid of pot of red
paint this was decorated with pictures
and notices in which the old man was
mercilessly caricatured.
Ever since his connection with the
school, Professor Droombach's custom
had been to go each Wednesday even
ing with his wife over to Fairford and
return on the early train the following
morning. We had never been able to
fathom the purpose of these mysteri-
Gus visits. However, as the 22d fell
this year upon Thursday, the profess
Or's absence would leave us more free
to carry out our plans. AS the house
was not visible from the public road,
we went down before dark to perfect
our arrangements. The place looked as
though it were scarcely habitable.
''We'll tack the big banner here"
Benny was saying as he tapped the
crazy door with his Ratchet At this
moment our eyes fell upon q board
nailed across the lower part of the
door in q bungling fashion. This piece
of carpenter work called forth uproari-

did not join. After going on his knees
to examine it closely he rose to his feet
with sober face.
"Whew" he exclaimed. "You can

The Partitions of Poland.

There have been three partitions of
Poland. The first was in 1872, when
Prussia took the palatinates of NAL
berg. Fomeria and Warmia, part Of
Culm and part of Great Poland. Aus
tria took Red Russia, or Galicia; a
part Of Podolia, Sandomir and Cracow,
and Russia took White Russia, with all
the part beyond the Dnieper. The sec
ond partition was In 1893, by which
Prussia acquired the remainder OF
Great and portion of Little Poland
and the Russian boundary was ad
vanced to the center of Lithuania and
Volhynia. In the third and final par
tition, in 1875, Austria had Cracow

Why Little Men Do Big Things.

little man, why it is that so many
people small in stature have accofn-
plished such great things in the world?
I'll tell you. It's because they get
their dander up. They get tired of be-
ing looked down upon and of being
treated patronizingly by the big fell
lows, and they just resolve to show
society that they are worth something,
