FLYING THINGS.
The Eagle and the Condor Not In II WIN
Steadily Flying Time.

Steadily Flying T1me.
The eagle and the condor can certainly
fly some. but. said the man with.frost In his
hair. they don't begin to be in 1t with steady
going time.
'You see, the eagle and the csndor have
to rest n in a while, while time keeps a.
plugging right along-there's something
uncanny about the fight of time.
And not only does it keep going SO. but
as we grow older it seems all the time to be
speeding up: going steadily faster and

and Their when at middle life we get to the

SOME NEW hooks.
some victorian Lord Chanceilors.

An interesting and by no means unim-
portant contribution to u knowledge OF
the administration Of equity Jurisprudence
In England during the last half Of the nine
tecnth century will be found embodied In
tile second volume Of the work entitled
The Victorian Chdncsllors, by j. b. ATLAY
little, Brown d Coy. This volume con-
tains biographical sketches and professional
estimates Of 30 fewer than ten Chancellors,
namely, Lord st. Leopards. Lord Gran
worth. Lord Chelmsford, Lord Campbell.
lord N'estbury, Lord Cairns. Lord Hather-
Icy, LORD Selborne. Lord Halsbury n
Lord Hcrsohell. The author OF the book
tells us that tho material available for the
memoirs here presented varies greatly. both
In quality and quantity. No biographer
has as yet appeared for Lord st. Leonards
or Lord Cranworth. and the sources Of in
formation with regard to the latter espe-
cially are scanty. In the case Of Lord
Chelmsford the compiler has been more
fortunate. because the ubjecto of the memoir
left behind him an autobiography. which
not only gives an outline Of his private and
professional career but also the details Of
the more celebrated cases in which no was
engaged when at the bar. The Life of
Lord Campbell consisting of selections
from his autobiography, diary and letters.
which in 1881 was brought out by his
daughter. the Hon. Mrs. Hardoastle. has
proved to be \ mine of data with reference
not only TO the Chancellor himself but also
10 the legal and political history of his time.
The Life of Lord Westbury." by Mr.. T. A.
Nash. published in 1888, Is also declared to
be a biography of high merit. alike in form
aud substance. II seems to la been
undertaken at the request Of members Of
tho Chancellor's family, and the author Of
the present work regrets that he has found
himself unable to take an equally favorable
view OF one who in point Of sheer intellect
was excelled by none of the Victorian Chan
cel!ors AS regards Hugh McCalnont, first
Earl Cairns. the author has been thrown
back almost @ tirely on the public annals
Of the time. save for a brief appreciation, !
not always sympathetic. from the pen of
the Right Hon. James Bryce. The Memoir
Of Lord Hatherley.' by the late Dean of
Winchester, contains a valuable fragment !
of autobiography written in 1853. but other-
wise is devoted almost wholly to the rellg-
ious and philanthropio side of the subjects
career. The four volumes of Lord Sell /,
borne's Memorials" contain. on the other
hand, a vast mass Of miscellaneous infor-
nation, and are distin guished alike by gem

lives Of Lord Halsbury and Lord Herschell. |
who died 30 recently, is patent. but with
out some account of them the present work
would obviously be imperfect.

Some seventy pages OF this volume are
devoted to Richard Bethel, ultimately
Lord Weetbury. who was born in June,
1900, at Bradford-on-Avon, where his father
was a medical practitioner. There was
but little money in the household to spare
on education. but Or. Bethel. who had carly
detected the extraordinary promise Of his
son, gave him the best that was in his power.
The boy received a sound classical ground
ing at a private school In Bristol. and In
1914 his father tool him up to Wadham
College, Oxford. which had close a~ssocia-
lions with the west of England. Tho
warden at first pointed out that children
were not admitted, and 1t was only after
some conversation with the %preoocious
youth that he withdrew the veto. remark
ing. THE first thing we must do Is to get
you a tail coat.' A day or two later Rich
ard Bethel matriculated as a commoner
Of Wadham. and although too young to
take he oath Of obedience he was allowed
to subscribe the Thirty-nine Articlee. In
the following year he won a scholarship.
to which was added the Hody exhibition
for proficiency in Greek. Our author says
that with two exceptions Bethel's achieve
ment IL in the matter Of age unique among
men who have achieved distinction in after
life. His total emoluments from the COL
lege seem to have amounted to about go

still an undergraduate, he began to take

though at the cost OF much s~c,f-denial,
to assist his parents. 1t was while at college
that he acquired the habit Of early rising
which never forsook him and the impor-
OF which he never ceased to impress
upon young men at the bar. As on April

classics and in the second class in mathe,

officer Of the Crown he displayed the same
aptitude for business and the same facility
in mastering details which had marked his
progress at the bar. What was more sur
prising, Bethel. now Sir Richard, displayed
a conciliatory amer which greatly eased
the wheels Of debate. On C~ockburn's APP

raised to the peerage by the title Of Baron
Westbury. His promotion was accepted
on all sides al q matter of course, but at

gentle thrill OF relief must have fiuttered
the hearts Of those Judges whom he had 30
long felt 10 his duty to keep humble. There
is. Mr.. Atlay thinks. no parallel for either

to accept Bethel's stage aside to his junior:

FREE APPLES AND FREE BOOZE
One uf tie Yampa Water Stauds of G
Il. S. Co. Raided by Newshuys in
Denver ,Pahs1dee Apple Man There

Hi, Skinny, pipe the free
booze a shrill-voiced newsy on
Seventeenth street shouted to
ane Of his ehums ,across the street
down in Denver last week. He
held up quart bottle of Yampa
water and the two boys adjourn
ed to an alley, where the cork
was quickly extracted and.
any Glenwood citizen knows
what happened not long after
that.
The newsboy had started run
on Yampah water which for few
moments threatened to exhaust
the supply which Advertising
Agent Harry Richards had stack
ed up in the window If the Rio
Grande city ticket Office in the
Albany hotel.
Mr.. Richards had left huge
pyramid of the bottles and had
gone into the rotunda of the AL
hany hotel with his fitting jug to
administer series of free drinks
to the drummers assembled in
the hotel rotunda. While he was
absent, the little news seller no
ticed Mr.. Richards sign inviting
people in for free drink of the
water. He stole into the office
and fingered near the pyramid
until the opportune moment ar
rived to slip off with bottle. No
one offering any objection, the
boy jumped at the conclusion
that the bottles were free. He
spread the news and in less time
THAN 1t takes to organize a run
on a savings bank in tenement
hOuse district, four cases were
emptied of their bottles.
Mr.. Richards returned in time
to save the packing boxes and
the remnant Of his display.
Apple lEan shows Up.
Among the crowd who procur-
ed a free bottle Of water was a
Palnade farmer who had come
over to Denver to dispose Of a
couple of carloads Of apples. He
argued that if Glenwood Springs
found it advantageous to display
its mineral water in that Rio
Grande Office it would be good
place to display his own wares,
and soon afterwards he arrived
with couple of boxes Of extra
choice fruit. He handed ont
some Of the fruit among the
clerks to make them feel good,
and then put the remainder in
the corner of the Yampah water
window; with sign, "Palisade
Apples"

We all know that baseball fans
are with us in the summer time,
| bht .aisnwood has a bunch that
are ito make themselves heard Ia
the early spring. They are to
blossom forth like the full-blBwn
rose and whoop up the town for
a better baseball team for the
coming season.
eThese fans got together the
other day and from their think
tanks came some good ideas. Ono
large idea was sprung and was
generally applauded as being a
peach.
The fans decided to give a
grand ball for the benefit Of
baseball. 1t was suggested that
the function be held in the op-
era house. This idea also met
with approval. Next came up
the question of the date for the
event.
Some time next month was de-
cided ,uu, gand ithe public of'Glen-
lweod Springs will be-xiven 'ample'
notice.
The fans in attendance at this
most important meeting were
Hans Muller, who has been elect
ed chief; William iFarnum, Jack
Veries, Abel Dore, Clint Marvin
and John Rittnayer.
The last named fan spoke up
and said that his orchestra would
furnish music for the dancers.
Remember, good people, that
this is all for the ,benefit Of the

to be devoted to the interests of

COMPANY TO REOPEN

New York, Mar. IAN order
was granted today by Justice
Clark, in the supreme court, Sta
tten island, for the relopening on
March 20 of the Kniekerbocker
Trust company, whose suspension
last October, following two
days bank run, involved the saw
-ings of nearly 10000 depositors,
brought the president of that in
Fstitution, Charles T. Barney, to
his death in sensational manner,
and precipitated such an ansettle-
ment of public confidence that
the panic of 1907 resulted.
The re-opening of the Knicker-
booker Trust company, in accord
ance with plans for rehabilitation
prepared after four months la
Dor by a committee Of depositors,
will release to the welfare of the
community assets aggregating
$46,370,620. The granting of the
resumption order was reflected in
a smart advance in security val
,ucs today on the stock exchange.
"nt!er the terms of this qplpr of
rehabilitation, the depositors Of
the Knickerbocker Trust COM
pany will not receive their depos-
its III full when the trust company
open, its doors. hut will receive
10 per cent on the opening day
if they want it.
The above article will prove
of great interest to the residents
Of this city and vicinity inasmuch
as the Knickerbocker Trust COM
ipany are the financial hackers of
the Central Colorado Power COM
pany at Shoshone. A message
was received this morning by DR..
Crook from the head Office of tn.

post of $500, 900 in the Knicker-
