SOME EARLY SETTLERS.
Something Regarding Those Who
First Located in This Country.

Our last weeks issue which
contained something Of a remin-

county, has caused quite a good
deal Of comment among the older
settlers Of the county, calling TO
mind many items Of humorous
nature.
Several Of these papers have
been sent out to some of these
men and they are writing to the
senders letters that many Of our
readers would appreciate read
ing.
J. H. Patton, who was at one
time County and District Clerk
Of this county, is now located at
Amarillo and writes that he very
much appreciated the edition
and that it called to mind scenes
and memories that would be
always dear to him.
Another one Of the old timers
who has written regarding the
paper is Cap" A. Hammond,
who now lives at Melrose, \. NJ.

the time Of the supposed Indian
raid and it was under his guild
ance that such diligent work was
done in terrifying the town. Mr..
Hammond also built the first
house in Canyon City, it being a
blacksmith shop and was located
about three lots east Of the First
National Bank building. In his
letter he states that he is very
glad TO hear Of the prosperity Of
the county.

r. C. Kerens Loses Beloved Child.

st. Louis, Jan. 21.-Hardly had Col
onel Richard C. Kerens, railroad mil
lionaire and Republican politician, re-
turned to this city from Paris after
a flying trip half around the world
to join his daughter. Mrs. Frank b
McKenna there. when today he re-
ceived a cable dispatch announcing her
death.
Mrs McKenna died when it was sup
posed she had almost recovered from
the illness that caused skilled physi-
clans to despair of her life few weeks
ago. Her father passed several days
with her in the French capital. She
was improving rapidly on his arrival
and she became so much better in the
course of his stay that it was ue emed
safe for him TO cross the Atlantic with
out her.
The colonels daughter was married
to Colonel McKenna, L., S. A., when
he was a captain. 1t was one of the
most brilliant army weddings ever held
in this city, the captains father De-
ing Justice McKenna Of the supreme
court and Mr.. Kerens at that time be-
ing boss of the Republican machine.
The wedding was not only attended by
local celebrities, but by many Of the
highest officials in Washington.

The Happiness of Being Poor.

Ihere was once a woman who had an
alabaster box of ointment and she
poured this valuable gift over the head
OF the Master, as he sat at meat in a
humble home in the village of Beth
any
No sooner was this act witnessed
than it gave vent to an objection. To
what purpose is this waste?" The men
who saw it regarded this act as simply
throwing away material that had a
commercial value.
We are all apt to think of gifts in
dollars and cents. We see, or want to
see, money in everything that we do
We are money-mad and, being SO,
we are apt to color our vision with ii.
It is no new infirmity, but it gets
too much attention nowadays and
drives away the sweetness and beauty
of life. Life can be made happy with
out much money or without emphasize
ing this element.
Take the little that you are getting
and take enjoyment in its use. 1t may
be hard discipline to do this and may
demand courage and patience in the
trial. But it is worth trying. The man
who has a little can more readily get
the secret of enjoying life than the
man who has much and wants more.
1t is this everlasting desire to set
more and make a better showing that
is expressing so many minds in these
days and driving them to self-destruc-
ton.

A Woman's Smile.

A woman's smile is sunshine in the
home; it is sunshine anywhere.
A womans smile is the outward aud
visible sign of her power to please and
to gain what she wishes.
The Italians say that the beautiful
woman by smiling can draw tears from
mans purse.
Marot speaks of "woman's little
giddy laugh that was enough to raise
man from the dead
Men are very much what women
make them, and it is largely by their
smiles that they make men what they
ought, or ought not to be.
A woman's smile is what the sun
beam is to the landscape; it embel-
fishes an inferior face and redeems an
ugly one.
1t is one of the duties of women to
beautify the world, to shed joy, to ra-
date happiness, to cast light upon
dark days, to be the golden thread of
our destiny, and this she does by right
ly using her talent for pleasing.
Every now and then we meet wo-
man who possesses the power Of en-
chanting all about her; her presence
lights up the house. her approach is
like a cheering warmth; she passes by,
and we are not content; she sta Us
awhile and we are happy. She is the
Aurora with a human face.

A Way to Overcome Insomnia.

If we practice devoting our minds. as
we do our bodies, to one object at a
time, we shall not only accomplish
more, but with less exhaustion, says
DR.. G. L. Walton in Lippincott's Mag
azine. Training in this direction will
help us, on retiring TO view sleep as
our present duty, and a sufficient duty.
without taking the opportunity at that
time TO adjust Cor try to adjust) all our
tangles, to review our past sources of
discomfort and to speculate upon the
ills of the future.
A walk bath, few gymnastic ex-
ercises, will often serve a useful pur-
pose before retiring, but if they are
undertaken in a fretful and impatient
spirit and are accompanied by doubts
of their effectiveness and the insistent
thought Of that sleep will not follow
these or any other procedure they are
likely to accomplish little
The best immediate preparation for
sleep is the confidence that one will
sleep and Indifference if one does not.
This frame of mind is best attained
by the habitual adoption of the same
attitude toward all the affairs of life.

Our Ideals,

The temper with which we enter
upon the experiences of the new year
largely depends upon our personal
STANDARDS. If our ideal of success in
life is the attainment of money. repu-
tation or position, we may easily be
disappointed at the results of the year
just closed or the outlook for the flu
ture. The attainment of these ends is
dependent upon a variety of factors
that are beyond anyone's control. It
does not make any difference how
great your efforts, success in these di-
rections cannot be absolutely assured
But there is one thing that is entire
ly in our own keeping. We have only
ourselves to blame if our motives and
character deteriorate. No possible ill
fortune can excuse evil choices and the
gradual subordination Of high ideals to
self qualification. If our hearts during
the last year were set upon the best
things and we face the future in that
spirit questions of material gain or
loss are relegated to a secondary place
1t is not possible for US all to succeed
in our undertaking; it is possible for US
all to achieve a noble type of human
excellence, and the attainment of that
is the prize and crown of all human
contests and experiences
