Real Love stories.

One OF the great daily newspapers
has been making feature OF late OF
the personal history OF citizens who.
by means of their prominence. are
supposed to be known to its readers.
In series OF articles entitled, Real
Love Stories." 1t has told how they
won their wives and pictured the life
OF the family. More than so Of the
stories have been published. Since
they are romantic in the best sense.
and since they crafty that harmless
curiosity which is inspired by admira-
tion and respect. there is no reason to
regret their popularity. One might
go little further. indeed, and say
that the fact bears opportunely and
conciusiveiy on a comment by an
English traveller which was recently
printed in another newspaper There's
no home life in this country, you know.

what kind OF people the unlucky tour
ist has met. Men and women who

because they are exceptional eyents.
Behind most marriages in this country

Care for Leper Wife.

Tombstone, Ariz-The pathetic case
of Gen. ID. K Wardwell, a veteran of
the Mexican and Civil wars. and his
wife, who is a leper, is in fair way
of being disposed of by the territorial
officials. and it is possible that the
devotion of the husband will prevail
and he will be permitted to remain by
his afflicted wife. 1t is proposed to
Isolate the couple near this place, and
Seep them under the care and treat
ment of the county officials. The fact
that the form of leprosy from which
the woman is suffering is not COM
municated by ordinary contact, makes
the solution of the problem possible

Northern Colorado Business Activity

Greeley.-Judge Garrigues says that
he has given up his annual vacation
plans because OF the constant press
of legal business in chambers caused
by the remarkable building era now
being experienced in his district. The
building of reservoirs, bitches and
railroads have brought SO much to be
done in the way of condemnation
suits, privileges of right of way and
injunction suits that the judge finds
it difficult to dispose of such cases as
soon as wished for He believes,
however, that the unusual amount of
business points to the most prosperous
times to be experienced in the history
of northern Colorado.

 We, the wardens and ycstrymen of Christ church parish, New Haven, have passed these resolutions on the death of our beloved rector, tho Reverend George Brinley Morgan, DD, and or dered them spread upon our minutes, published, and sent to his family AS an additional token of our sympathy
 His pastoral care Bt once manifold and intimate, strong and delicate, We cannot further express publicly than by Saying that we mourn our father Our loss in other ways we attempt 10 express only to commemorate our gratitude and our resolution We TO- hearse something of what ha has done for Us, something of what he has beon to HIS, not to estimate his worth, but to make public thanksgiving and public promise to the church and to the city. The building Up of a small and feeble parish Into larger and larger capaci y has been accomplished, under God, by his planning his tact, his patient de. votion, and above all, hIs inspiring faith. The buildings which are his visible monument stand for growth AS he built them, he built us Through them Ina taught the power of truth em. bodied in beautiful worship, and the obligation to give as we received His missionary zeal, while it reached out within our own city, kept us in touch with the advancing frontier of the whole church. Thus summoned for. ward we take in trust the work that fell from his hands, thinking our best commemoration to he the resolution that what he carried so far shall moi through us lapse or fall.
