Lizard Head, In Colorado, Has Never

The mountains and peaks of the
San Juan in southwestern Colorado
present different appearance from
any of the northern Rockies.
They are grander, more precipitous,
with sharper pinnacles and more jag.
ged in outline. In height, Mounts
Massive, Elbert and Blanca slightly
outrank those Of the San Juan, but
nowhere else can be found whole
groups of mountains rearing their
heads to and above $4,000 feet.
Mount Wilson-14,259 feet-the
dominant peak, is one of the most
massive in the entire Rocky mountain
range. Just east of this mountain is
the remarkable trachyte obelisk called
the Lizard Head" The vivid imagina-
ton Of an early pioneer who had been
seeing things" is said to be responsi.

nacle rises 290 feet with diameter at
the foot of only about 60 feet, gradual
ly tapering to less than half that at
the top.
Lizard Head has defied all attempts
Of mountain climbers to reach its
summit. The foot Of the pinnacle is
easily accomplished, but thus far the
steep sides of the 29O-foot shaft have
proved insurmountable. No doubt the
time will come when the venturesome
mountain climber will find way, but
many failure is the record of the
past.

Judicious Pruning VIII Increase the
Fruit Buds.

Horticulturists have for many years
practiced various methods to induce
fruitfulness and with some degree of
success. All these methods, as grid
ling the trunk, root pruning and sum-
mer pruning of the branches tempo
rarily check the growth of the tree,
and the consequent slow growth in
duces the formation of fruit buds,
says w. Paddock. 1t is we'll known that
the buds which produce fruit in any
particular season were formed the
season before, and their formation is
believed to begin early in the grow
ing season. This being true, the time
is now at hand for such work; If put
off much later in the season, 1t will be
too late, as the time for the forma-
ton of fruit buds for next years crop
will soon be passed.
BY root pruning is meant that a
small portion of the roots are cut off,
and the operation may be performed
with a spade or in any way which Is
best suited to individual needs.
Summer pruning takes the place Of
the annual winter pruning, and is the
same in most respects except that it
is done in June instead of winter or
early spring.
Girdling or ringing consists in re-
moving ring of bark from the trunk
or larger limbs. This ring is some
times two inches or more in width:
all the bark within this space is re-
moved, thus exposing the wood. This
method of checking growth, though
often employed. is rather drastic, and
should be used with caution. A more
rational method is to girdle the branch
or trunk by cutting through to the
wood by making cne continuous cut
and not removing any of tH9 bark.
Some authorities state that the prop
er time to check the growth of tree
in order to induce the formation of
fruit buds is at the time when the
bark begins to set on the new growth.

SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH.
Boys Fervent Prayer Was Answered
In the Nick of Time.

A suburbanite is fond of telling this
story of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. 1t chanced
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filed up, to the great de.
light of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became SO full that 1t threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
having a proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Bo-
ing unable to, for some reason, he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood,
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits Of
the plumber, he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
20, Lord, please stop this water
running! And, o, Lord, if you can't
do it, please send somebody that cant"
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
of the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.

from that part Of the hall where the
IL musicians were gathered, and

Up to the very completion of the
building there was mystery about 1t
that grew as the building grew. The
artisans had simply followed the
blue-prints, and those plans did not
state to what use the edifice would
be put. The contractor knew no more
than what the blue-prints told him.
The architect was unknown. When
the building was completed 1t proved
to be one story in height, circular in
form, windowless, but of chaste beau
ty. 1t stood apart just without the
city limits on an acre of walled ground.
Not far from 1t were other handsome
structures, for several art and music
clubs, acting in harmony while land
prices were not yet exorbitant, had
erected their halls in the neighborhood
in anticipation of the citys growth.
No lettering appeared on the edi
fee and no date, nor any visible sign
or figure that offered a clue to what
use the building would or might be
applied
When 1t was completed and the last
artificer had taken his leave, gentle
man carefully inspected the interior Of
the structure, then locked its hand
some doors, and with one backward
prophetic look of sorrow, went his
way, and the building stood untenant,
ed and unentered, in mysterious ST.
lence and beauty. Neither life nor
death passed through its doors; and
the curious wondered in vain.
1t was an evening in June, a year
later, when this gentleman who had
been the last to leave the building re-
turned. He unlocked and opened the
heavy bronze doors, and one by one,
perhaps three or four minutes apart,
IL men followed him into the pre-
cincts of the hall. Each bore in his
hand case of different shape and
dimensions, and moved in silence, as
toward some solemn rite.
These IL men were seated in a
body at the upper end of the building,
distinguishable by no light save the
glow cast by one rose-colored chan
delier suspended high above, and the

or three-quarter inch lumber. The
shelves have either small grooves
plowed in them or small half rounds
nailed on the rear portion of them for
holding the plates in an upright posi-
tion, the grooves being preferred. The
hooks for the cups, ETC., are placed
where desired, also the shelves, and
the size of the plates must regulate
the distance between them. Many
families have one or more pieces of
old, wornout furniture of oak or some
nice hard wood. These could be used
very nicely, but should pine or any of
the soft woods be used, when same has

treading softly, as If he feared to
waken some sleeper.
A moment later another taper was
blown out, and another musician ST.
lently stole away to the rear Of the
orchestra.
Then, one by one, nine of the re-
naming tapers were extinguished by
a breath, and one by one nine of the
remaining musicians arose and softly
stole away, and there remained but
one lighted taper and one musician,
playing on a violin that seemed strung
with the living heart-strings of a
lover.
Now the eyes of the recumbent
young girl opened wide and looked up
as at face bending over her, and
the sweet, pallid lips parted with an
unspoken word; then the soft-fringed
eyelids closed, the golden head sank
back deeper on the pillow and moved
no more, and as sigh Of poignant
anguish broke from the heart of the
man bending over the couch, the
last musician leaned forward and blew
out the twelfth taper and stole away,
and the music ceased, a drifting cloud
obscured the moon, and the wide hall
was left to darkness and death and
grief unutterable.
She seemed another Saint Cecilia,
so lovely in person and so musical in
spirit, and while still child the fore
most masters of Europe prophesied
for her a career as one of the worlds
greatest musicians. Her powers ma
tured with her mind, and at II her
genius was, perhaps, without paral-
lei; then her health suddenly failed,
and it was found too late that her
great gifts were in vain.
Her ailment left no chance Of re-
covery, and her physicians gave her
at the most but two years to live.
When at last they told her the truth,
she expressed the wish that she might
die while listening to the sweet sounds
Of orchestral music. Her life haG
been devoted to music; it was fitting
that her death should be. And she
would feel happier SO to die.
The man who loved her, and whom
she was to have wed, promised that
her wish should be fulfilled, and it
was he who had bent over her as her
life went out with the twelfth taper.
In the center of the beautiful mar
BILE mausoleum-for such the myste
rious building was-the body of this
gifted and lovely girl was laid to eter-
nal rest.

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum

times to do so, but was it's slave.
