RAMS HORN PHILOSOPHY

The kind of resisting that makes
the devil fly from you, is the kind
that keeps up hot fire seven days
in the week.
The greater our need may be the
more ready the Lord is to supply il.
If we knew God better it wouldn't
be so hard for some of us to trust
him.
To be ready is more than half the
secret Of success in life.
There is more power in a mustard
seed grain of faith than there is in a
pound of dynamite
A habit cannot be formed in
day nor broken in an hour.
The best preparation for tomorrow
is to do your best today
The man who has to live on corn
bread at home is always finding fault
with the pie when he travels.

MRS. HARRIET L. HANNUM
DIED THURSDAY MORNING.

Mrs. Harriet l.. Hannum, wife OF
Capt. J. B. Hannum, died at the fam
lily home, 1906 North Ninth street, this
morning from creeping paralysis, aged
seventy-nine years, five months and
sixteen days. Deceased was born in
Bucks County, Pennsylvania, August
IL. 1899 and had been a resident of
Canon City for nearly thirteen years.
She was married to Capt. Hannum in
Illinois in September 1848 when only
nineteen years of age and for more
than sixty years was his helpmeet and
companion.
Four children we're born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Hannum, two sons and two
daughters, all of whom are dead. ex-
cept Mrs. Elvia Brooks. who has made
her home with her parents for a num-
ber of years. The other daughter
died nineteen y ears ago. On leaving
Illinois Capt and Mrs. Hannum moved
to Kansas and were residents Of that
state while the great drama Of the
civil war was being enacted.
The deceased had been a member of
the Methodist church for flfty-four
years and during all OF that time had
been prominently identified with Its
work and purposes. She was active
in the Sunday school and in the la
dies aid and missionary societies. She
taught a class in the Sunday school
until her illness made 1t imnossible
for her to longer attend its services.
She was good woman in the fullest
Significance Of the phrase and was
highly esteemed by all who had the
privilege OF knowing her. Mrs. Han
mum was stricken down with paraly-
sis nine weeks ago and grew gradu-
ally worse until the end came this
morning. despite all efforts to check
the progress Of the disease. A couple
of weeks ago her only granddaughter
Mrs. Villa Fulton. Of Los Angeles.
California, was called here by the ILL.,
ness Of Mrs. Hannum and was at her
iodside when she died.

IMMENSE CROWDS HEAR
- BILLY" SUNDAY I'm SPOKANE
As Reso Of His Evangestc Campaign IN that City an
AntiSaloon Ticket wifi BE Pot In the Field There
- - THIS Spring With Indications Favorable
to Its Success on Election Day

In the estimated attendance to date
it is figured that Mr.. Sunday has spo-
ken to 214,500 people in the evening
meetings. and to 1.50O in the after
noon meetings, and to $4,000 in the
morning meetings at the tabernacle.
In addition to these figures must be
added many who have been addressed
by Mrs. Muirhead, Miss Miller Rev. G.
P. Pledger and others. totaling in all
about $4,000. Mr.. Sunday has also
spoken to numerous schools and clubs
but these figures and not included in
the totals.
At meeting after meeting hun
dreds, and even thousands, have been
turned away. and with the exception
OF the cold weather period, it has been
practically the rule that every seat in
the tabernacle has been taken and
hundreds have been turned away. At
yesterdays meeting. and in fact. at all
the men only" meetings thousands
have been unable to secure admis-
sion. and the same rule has held for
the Sunday evening services and for
many Of the special evening services.
At the amusement sermon alone It
was estimated that 1000 were turned
away.
The announcement that Billy Sun
day would preach his great sermon
Booze. or Get on the Water Wagon"
drew over $4,000 men to the taber-
nacle yesterday afternoon. Long be-
fore 2 o'clock the seating capacity was
found to be inadequate. and thousands
were turned away disappointed.
Never before has Mr.. Sunday carried
his audience with more powerful ar
guments. Every man in the immense
audience followed Mr.. Sunday close
ly, and when a small American flag
was jerked out and waved before the
men. a cheering mass arose, and only
after a minute had been spent in
cheering was Mr.. Sunday able to pro-
coed. With collar and tie removed
and shirt collar turned in to give his
neck free play. with his coat and vest
off, Mr.. Sunday opened up on booze.
No attempt can be made to describe
the sermon or the man whose intense
personality vitalized it. For almost
two hours he spoke. with thrilling and
convincing argument, while the per-
spiration poured down his face. He
gave vivid illustrations Of drunkard.
reeling and staggering up and down
the platform. Round after round Of
applause swept the audience.

SEED BRERDna IN COLORADO

A number Of the most careful
cantaloupe growers Of Rocky Ford
have organized q practical seed
breeders association. Their methods
can be adopted profltably BY Colorado
growers in many other crops.
The Rocky Ford Cantaloupe Seed
Breeders Association has been form
ed for the propagation and develop
ment OF high-grade cantaloupe seed
by systematic methods OF seed breed
ing, following the plans outlined In
Bulletin No. 126. Of the Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station. ....-
The motives and plans of this or
gani1ation are - follows:
To adopt the most approved prin-
ciples Of plant breeding and to apply
them under dedinits outline. or
method.
To require each member to follow
the same schedule Of selection.
To register the seed produced each
year. with records and description OF
all antecedent history.
To furnish certificates with all reg
istered seed sold. showing the num-
Der OF years pedIgreed breeding be-
hind it.
To offer for sale only the seed pro-
.duced through the Association. and
not to engage in any general seed
trade, or to lob" In seed.
To invite the examination of breed
ing plans. pedigree records and our
methods of seed saving. by those In
terested in good cantaloupe seed.
To avoid advertising by exaggerated
and misleading statements.
3 To develop cantaloupe of the high
est possible merit of the type that the
market demands. i
/. To protect the purchaser BY sealing
all registered seed under regis
tered" seal Of the Association.
To establish . standard OF perfec-
ton and score by which cantaloupea
may be Judged. s o..
To discourage the remaining OF old
varieties without . merit of distinc-
ton.
