Carl Anderson and William Rohan,
two Fruita laborers, came to Grand
Junction to spend the Fourth. While
here they imbibed freely of those
liquid potations which they had been
denied at Fruita. and when they re-
turned to their homes late Saturday
night. they were both considerably
the worse for wear. They had room
over the Goss restaurant in Fruita.
They had carried home with them
few more drinks, and, while fin
ishing off their spree. became en-
gagged in an alteration. In the
course of the struggle the lamp was
overturned, and. but for Andersons
quickness in throwing the lamp out
of the room and down the stairs into
the yard. the building might have
been burned.
The overturning of the lamp so en-
ragged Anderson that he picked him
up bodily, though he is a man of / 80
pounds, and threw him out of the
window: through the upper sash. Ro-
han was hurled with such violence
that he was carried across the little
porch outside the window, and down
the rear stairs into the yard. At the
bottom of the stairway he alighted
head first in the fragments of the
broken lamp. and his neck was badly
cut.

AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated to at
Washinqton's Rome.


Washinston's Rome.
The diary Of Manasse Cutter, the
founder of Ohio and the author of the
ordinance of 1857, gives an account of
visit he made to Mount Vernon
two years after General Washington's
death. We say General Washing
ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing
ton was pleased to call him-a copy for
all those good women whose husbands
have won them honor on the field Of
war.
Mr.. Cutler says it was the desire Of
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
In time for breakfast q oclock) with
Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
and worse horses detained them, so
they did not reach there until abor+
10, which Mrs. Washington regretted,
but she said, breakfast would be
ready in q few minutes" The diary
goes on to say:
I'm short time she arose and desired
rs to walk into another room, where a
table was elegantly spread with ham,
cold corned beef, cold fowl, red her.
ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna-
mented with sprigs Of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. At
the head of the table was the tea and
coffee equipage, where she seated her
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
company"
The point Of interest Is that break
fast menu-five kinds of meat decked
with sprigs Of parsley and accompa-
MED with divers vegetables. Isn't
there an appetizing array and doesn't
the heart long for just such scene?
Of course the mere feeders, the fell
lows that banker for hot things, may
not think so, but the very mention Of
cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton
and cold corned beef all in the same
breath is an appeal to a conscientious
appetite that is unresisting And that
was breakfast Of the long ago.
Most generous providers these well
to do people in the early days! How
good everything must have tasted!
That roast chicken and roast mutton
and that-great tender clean chunks Of
it, that he would not dare say which
was best, for each was best Compare
it with our latter day breakfasts-a
roll and an egg and cup of coffee!
OF course we like our way, but that
is possibly because these are degen-
crate days.-Ohio State Journal

INDIAN MARRIAGES.
Peculiar Rites of the Hopi and the
Navajo Tribes.

Peculiar Rites of the Hopi and the
.... Navajo Tribes.
Marriage among the Topi, tribe Of
the Pueblo Indians, is an institution
regarding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
of girl find it expedient for her to
get married, they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified The girl goes
to the home of the groom's parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks, while the groom makes kind
Of sash for the bride. Then one morn
ing at sunrise they both battle their
heads in cold water, which completes
the ceremony. There have been in
stances Of the groom's refusing to go
through the performance, which has
then proceeded without him and been
accounted valid, and several weeks
later he has yielded and had his head
bathed.
The Navajo ceremony is much more
elaborate and impressive, but then the
Navajo girls are much nicer. The reg
ular tariff on Navajo girl entering
the port of matrimony for the first
time is twelve horses. On the second
occasion the tax is nine horses, while
subsequent entries are free.
This is not purchase money, but is
merely a tribute of respect to
mother-in-law and token of apprecia-
ton of the care and expense involved
in bearing and rearing the lady,
recognition not unworthy Of considera-
ton by civilized grooms. On the other
hand, and deserving of great condem-
nation, is that law of many tribes, un-
written, but of much sanctity, that
man and his mother-in-law shall never
meet after the ceremony.-A. W. Dim
ock in Outing Magazine.

CHAOS in A LIBRARY.

Custodians of His Books.

sarcey's Fearfuily Bad Luck wiz,
custodans of His Books.
Francisque Sarcey had a splendid Ii.
brary, of which he was very proud,
and there are many stories told in
Paris about the singular fates, comic
and tragic, that overlook the librarians
who successfully looked after the late
critics books.
The first was released convict, who
pleaded that to be much among good
books would reform him. Sarcey, pug
nacious in print, was the kindliest of
men in practice. He yielded to the
plea. Unfortunately his protege car
ried the ethical cure too far, for one
day he decamped, taking with him the
best of M. Sarcey's good books.
The second was distinctly minor
dramatist, Debrit by name and debris
by nature He had worn himself into
an incurable melancholy by persistent
addiction to the humorist vaudeville
habit. Sarcey saw that abstinence
from further composition could only be
secured if the man had some light oc-
cupation with living wage. He es-
tablished him in the vacancy left by
the convict. A few days later as the
critic, returning from the theater, drew
his carriage up before his door he
heard a smash of shivered glass above
him, followed minute later by what
he no longer dared to call a dull thud
on the pavement below. The woe be-
gone librarian, wearied Of life, had
thrown himself out Of the window.
With his last breath he cursed Sarcey
as his murderer.
Third in order was one Bernard,
gladstone youth, whose blithe tempera-
ment promised relief from the gloom
cast by his predecessor. In the height
Of his glee be pulled out all the books
so as to rearrange them in more log
ical order on the shelves. He stacked
them in craggy pyramids all over the
floor. But it happened to be the spe-
cial day of the week wherein Sarcey
was wont to have few of his the
atrical friends, male and female, to
followed as a matter Of course. Moth
ing could dismay the librarian. He
whisked the pyramids to four walls
and joined in the dance. Next day he
asked permission to go home and see
his mother. He never returned. The
pyramids had to be sorted out by Sar-
ceys manservant and put pellmell on
the shelves again.
The last librarian was Mile. Blouska,
an elderly Polish maiden, who proved
an invaluable assistant until she per-
ished miserably in the fire at the char
1ty ball in Paris.
