Robley Evans has been a splendid
fighter, one of our very best lighters, in
his time; and no wonder"
The speaker, an aged resident OF
Floyd county, Va, laughed.
FRobley vas born with military ge-
MUS he said. "He showed military
genius from the cradle.
Il saw him, one day i'm his child
hood, playing tin soldier with another
boy. Each had a toy cannon that shot
rubber balls the size OF marbles, and
each had an army OF about 100 tin sol-
diers. The battle was a big gun affair.
The boy who knocked over the most
OF his opponents tin soldiers won.
"RobIey always won. His cannon
balls would always destroy the oppos-
ing army while his own forces would
remain practically intact. Yet il
seemed to me, somehow, that Robley
shot very little, IL at all better, than
the other boy.
The Virginian laughed again.
And, by Jovs, he didn't either!" he
said He had some kind OF paste ON
the bottom OF his soldiers that glued
them upright to the hoor!"

Railroad Assessments,

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 $48,57O,-
919; telephone companies, $2,716,851;
telegraph companies, $753,921; express
companies. $344,303; Pullman COM
pany. $S12.4S3; private car lines, $Z79,-
$50.
The total taxes paid by these CON-
panies during 1907 for 1905 and as.
sessed in 1906 was $1,492,49l.O4. 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 il Colorado December 81,
1906, was: Standard gauge, 5,584.82

I'm only ia years old, but I'll bet
dollar l can jump farther than any
OF you," said Eli Jackson of North
Carolina to registration officers who
had called to enroll his granddaughter,
Mrs. Ida Whitaker, OF % Zuni street.
No one offered to call the bet, for Eli

Almost blind, this is the only indica.
tion of his extreme age, for he Is
straighter than most men OF the pres

Il would have been in better condi-
tion," he said, ''if had only taken care

Not deviating from the usual old age
story, Eli has always smoked and
chewed tobacco and drinks strong
black coffee. Born in the "moonshine"
country. old Eli also likes his "moun-
tain dew" he says.

further improvement this week Steers

week with one bunch OF good ones at
$500 and some fancy experiment stuff
from the Colorado Agricultural college
at $6.05. Choice cows sold at $3.50
on Monday. but later not many got
above $3.50 and bulk of good killers
sold from $4OO@$440. Feeders and
stockers were scarce all week PricHA
dropped Is to 25 cents early in tnV
week, but later there was some i'm
provement though the market is still
lower than a week ago. Choice de-
horned Utah and Wyoming steers sold
at $5.25 freight paid and most OF the
good feeders and stockers offered
ranged from this down to $500.
Hog supply was heavy and demand
very good. Prices declined sharply
early in the week, but some of the loss
has been regained, bulk now selling
at $5.556$5.65.
Sheep demand was very good. Prices
are 25 cents to 40 cents lower than Il
week ago on lambs and about d quarter

Defective designing was the cause
OF the collapse Of the cantilever bridge
across the St Lawrence river at Que
bee several months ago, according to
the report of the royal commission ap-
pointed to make an investigation. The
designer used the standard formulas
in computing the strains, but in the
opinion of the commission he should
have modified them as the bridge was
larger than any that had hitherto been
attempted on the cantilever principle
1t Is easy to say this now, for all en-
gineers know more about the subject
than before the falling bridge demon
strated that the old formulas were
incorrect. But it is important to fu-
ture bridge ebuilders, as well as to the
public. that an adequate explanation

An Appreciation Of Affection.


Most men appreciate affection. and
are disappointed when they fail to
md 1t demonstrated in their wives.
They appreciate it in equal degree
with the wife who likes to be assured
that her husbands every thought Is
for her happiness. A man is not only
called upon to sacrifice many OF his
bachelor enjoyments when he be-
comes engaged, but when he is mar
ried he has still other trifles to fore
go, says the New York Weekly. 1t
is for the pleasure and joy Of having q
wife and home OF his own that ne is
more than proud of his partnership.
Everything works SO smoothly that he
is happy. very happy; and still there
comes to him special thrill of sweet
ness when his wife puts her arm
around his neck and whispers in his
ear that she loves him-loves him
very much. No girl could await the
alteration of her lover with greater
JOY than man does the tenderness
showered upon him by loving wife.
But just as some men grow lax in
their attentions to their young wives,
SO do too many young wives forget
to keep ever burning the furnace Of
their loves upon the domestic rearth.

GREAT DAY FOR HIM
in HIS HOME
STATE
[By Associated Press. ]


Hebron, Neb., Oct. 15.-The second
days tour of Nebraska by w. ]. Bry-
an was brought to a close at this
place last night
Twenty-Five speeches We're made by
the democratic candidate, varying in
duration from ten minutes to one
hour.
1t was by far the most enthusiastic
day for Mr.. Bryan during the trip,
and the crowds which greeted him
at the various stations were composed
largely of old friends of the candi-
date. who had heard him many times
as a stump speaker during the last
twenty years and before he was
known as presidential possibility.
With the conclusion of his work,
Mr.. Bryan expressed himself as be-
ing greatly pleased with his recep-
tion, saying that his audiences were
larger and more enthusiastic than
during any other campaign.
Three congressional districts were
traversed yesterday and in each one
the candidate made an appeal for the
democratic nominees. He invariably
began the speech by saying that he
was more interested in the election
of the candidate for congress than
was the candidate himself.
