AN EASTER STORY
When Mrs. Harrison Went to Church
Yesterday Mother Bird Went Too

There was an old man with a beard.
Who said, 1t is just as / feared:
Four larks and wren,
Three owls and d hen
Have all built their nests in my
beard"
-Tonsorio, archaeological sonnet
This veracious tale, which would
have interested Audubon greatly. de-
scribes another nesting. Mrs. Simon
Harrison, pretty and demure, entered
the Methodist church at Swinefield.
n. j., yesterday wearing a brand new
and very becoming hat which she
bought in New York, of course. Over
the mass of flowers, feathers, lace and
jigamarees that adorned the hat a
blue bird circled, and at once Iengaged
the attention of the 200 truly good
persons in the church.
Instead of listening TO the Rev. Alb
ner H. Strong's eloquent sermon On
the everlasting fact that pride leadeth
to fall everybody kept staring at
Mrs. Harrison. At first she was
pleased, but when the women began
to giggle and the men to whisper t.
each other and grin, Mrs. Harrison,
indignant, left the pew. AS she walk
ed down the aisle the blue bird. emit
ting distressed little cries, arose from
her hat and flew around her, almost
brushing her fair face with it's wings.
A suspicion of the truth flashed
through Mrs. HarrisOn's mind. Quick
y she drew out her hatpins, took off
her hat and thrust her hand into It's
mass of decorations. There were hid
den dainty little nest with four eggs
in it. Mrs. Harrison carefully placed
the hat on a pew and then carefully
tainted on the seat beside it.
When Mrs. Harrison revived she
explained to the women who were
patting her hands and tanning her
that there are many bluebirds on her
husbands farm; very tame little crea-
lures, because she and her husband
scatter crumbs for them and encour-
age their presence.
She said she hat bought the hat three
weeks ago and had kept it on az bu-
reau in her spare room, which she
keeps aired by always leaving a win
dow in it partly open. Audubon
would have been glad to hear, too,
that Mrs. Harrison will let the mother
bluebird hatch the young on her hat.
THAT she built her nest there
proves how natural these flowers are
said Mrs. Harrison, with certain
qualification.
II fear you did not hear my seq
mon," said Preacher Strong, signing.

A SODA FOUNTAIN
IN HER BEDROOM

Oh, raspberry raptureS! Mrs. Ger
trude Rhinelander Waldo can lay
just claim to being the only society
woman in New York who has a real
live soda fountain in her bedroom.
Mrs. Waldo's fountain is always in
perfect condition, as it is looked af-
ter regularly by a chemist. There are
five exquisitely mounted silver taps,
from which gush the following flaw

feels compelled to drink whenever she

ous visions of artist friends, and lem

unwelcome guests, who do not find it
convenient to show their resentment.
The rest of Mrs. Waldo'S house, is
equally remarkable. 1t is one of the
finest examples of early Senator Clark
in existence. Considerable attention
has been paid to the period, the car
pets having never been removed from
the floors and the piano never tuned.

And he did stay with her all through
the long watches of that long night.
He never closed his eyes in sleep.
Sometimes Mary would drop Off into
uneasy slumber-always OF short du-
ration. When she awakened suddenly
in wide-eyed fright, he soothed her
with all tenderness. Sometimes when
he thought she was sleeping, she
would clutch his arm desperately and
cry out that there was some one be-
hind the big cottonwood. Again it
would be to ask him in a terrified
whisper if he did not hear hoof-beat
galloping. galloping. galloping, and
begged him to listen. He could al
ways quiet her. and she tried hard to
keep from wandering; but after
short, broken rest, she would cry out
again in endless repetition OF the ter
rors of that awful night.
Mrs. White and several of her small
progeny breathed loudly from an ad-
joining room. A lamp burned dimly
on the table. 1t grew late-12 o'clock
and after. At last she rested. She
passed from light, broken slumber to
deep sleep without crying out and
thus awakening herself Gordon was
tired and sad. Now that the flush of
fever was gone, he saw how white and
miserable she really looked. The cir
cies under her eyes were so dark
they were like bruises. The mantle
of his misfortune was spreading to
bring others besides himself into its
somber folds.
The men were coming back. But
they were coming quietly, in grim si-
lence. He dared not awaken Mary
for the news he knew they must carry.
He stepped noiselessly to the door to
warn them to yet greater stiffness
and met Langford on the threshold.
The two surveyed each other grave
ly with clasped hands.

Langford. His big shoulders dropped

Our Agricultural Advantages.

Through Secretary w. F. r. Mills OF
the Denver Chamber of Commerce the
Colorado Agricultural College has ar
ranged for series of papers to be
prepared by the experts of the college.
These papers will cover every field
of agriculture adapted to Colorado.
The status of each agricultural line
will be shown, together with the spe-
cial advantages Colorado has for each
particular branch of farming and the
probable future developments. Among
the subjects to be discussed are the
following.
Irrigation in Colorado" Raising

Railroad AaaAasments,

Beginning April goth and continuing
until April 25th, the State Board OF
Equalization will sit to assess the val
uation of all railroad, telephone, tele-
graph, express. sleeping and other car
line properties in Colorado. The board
last year assessed against these com
panies $52.977,527, of which the rail
road assessment amounted to $4S,57O,-
919; telephone companies, $2,71G,S51; :;
telegraph companies, $753.921; express
companies $344,3o3; Pullman COM
pany, 1912 .4S3; private Car lines, $Z79,
$50.
The total taxes paid by these COM
panies during 1907 for 1905 and as
sessed in 1906 was $1,492, ,491.04. 1t is
claimed there will be no reduction in
the assessments this year, but on the
contrary there may be slight increase
due to the numerous improvements
completed during 1907. The report of
the board for 1907 shows the railroad
mileage in Colorado December 81,
1906, was: Standard gauge, 5,5S4S2
miles; narrow gauge, l,105.4; total,
