There was stir in the forward

VARIETIES IN HUMAN SPECIES.
Source Of Everything That Is Beautiful
and interesting.

Each human being has something
distinguishing, in form, proportions,
countenance, gesture, voice-in feel
ings. thought and temper, in mental
as well as corporeal physiognomy.
This variety is the source of every
thing beautiful and interesting in the
external world-the foundation of the
whole moral fabric of the universe.
Certain external circumstances, as
food. climate, mode of life, have the
power of modifying the animal organi.
zatton, so as to make it deviate from
that of the parent. But this effect
terminates in the Individual. Thus, q
fair Englishman, If exposed to the sun,
becomes dark and swarthy in Bengal;
but his offspring, if from an English
woman. are born Just as fair as he
himself was originally; and the chill.
dren. after any number of generations
that we have yet observed, are still
born equally fair. provided there has
been no intermixture of dark blood.

answered simply Il did not mean it,
Miss Dale"
And then there did not seem to be
anything to say between them for a
long while. The half-breed had set
tied down with stolid indifference.
People had resumed their newspapers
and magazines and day dreams after
the fieeting excitement. 1t was very
warm. Louise tried to create little
breeze by f1icking her somewhat be-
grimed handkerchief in front of her
face. Gordon took newspaper from
his pocket folded it and famed her
gently. He was not used to the little
graces of life, perhaps. but he did this
well. An honest man and kindly
never goes far wrong in any direction.

said, seriously, that it is all bad up
here. | am only selfish. l have been
harping on my own little corner of
wickedness all the while. 1t is good

'When?' asked Louise.
When we convict Jesse Black and
when our Indian neighbors get over
their mania for divorce" he answered,
laughing softly.
Louise laughed merrily, and so the
journey ended as it had begun, with a
laugh and jest
In the judges runabout, Louise held
out her hand
I'm almost homesick," she cried,
smiling.

INDEPENDENT SUGAR PLANT.
Arkansas Valley Farmers and Capt.
talists Preparing to Build.

Denver.-A Manzanola, Otero county,
special to the Denver News Monday
says:
AS direct result of the fight
unitedly made by farmers of the
Arkansas valley against the demand
of the American Beet Sugar Company
and the Holly Sugar Company that the
growers produce beets for $3.50 ton
Manzanola will have a sugar factory
owned by the farmers and local capt.
talists.
Directors of the Arkansas Valley
Beet Sugar Manufacturing Company
met today and representative of the
company, now in New York, was in
structed to close with a beet sugar
machinery company for the necessary
plant. The farmers of the valley have
made a determined fight against the
$3.50 beet and now that the factory
here is assured they claim victory is
with them.
w. b. Ebbert, who, with Thomas j.
Stanley, had been sent east to nego-
tiate for machinery, returned today and
reported that several firms had been
visited and that good propositions had
been made. Following the report the
directors telegraphed to Stanley tell
ing him to close the deal for the ma
chinery.
The company perfected its organiza-
ton and j. NJ. Beatty was elected pres
ident. e. Brewer was made first vice
president, Thomas j. Stanley second
vice president, w. l.. Cloves secretary
and H. B. Dye treasurer.
The company has filed its articles of
incorporation with the secretary of
state and with the county clerk, and
is capitalized for s1,0O0,000.
There is now no doubt that the fac
tory will be built and that it will be
ready to handle the crop of the pres
ent year At meeting of the farmers
it was decided to extend the time on
the contracts which have been signed
by them for beet acreage. That time
expired today, and the farmers have
all decided to stick with the indie
pendent factory.
The farmers do not look upon the
factory here as Manzanola enter
prise. and from Florence to the state
line along the Arkansas valley it is
considered as proposition in which
the entire valley is concerned. They
are positive that the success of this
enterprise, now assured. will mean the
success of all the farmers who grow
beets
Word has reached here, too, from
the growers of the northern field that
every success is wished for the new
enterprise. Resolutions have been
passed by the farmers in the northern
beet fields, in which the growers of
this valley are urged to accept nothing
less than IS per ton for their beets.
The farmers are back of the new fac
tory, and its promoters say that it can
not now fail.
Active work of building the factory
will be commenced at once. The fac
tory is backed by ample capital. and
the farmers say they will get IS beets
from at least one factory this year.
