A Life Time in a Day

The grandest and most diversi-.
fed view of Colorado that can pos.
sibly be obtained in any one day
is seen on the trip from Denver to
the summit of Mount McClelland
via the Argentine Central, or
Gray's Peak Route. The ride COW
ers 14O miles of the widest and
most magnificent scenery in the
Rockies, embracing the deep can
ons, the far-famed Georgetown
Loop, the perpetual SHOWS, the top
of mountain scenery, and the beau
tiful Ice Palaces; while the vast
awe-inspiring view from the sum-
nit of Mount McClelland is Of
scenic grandeur beyond descrip-
ton.
Aside from the sublime and
matchless scenery viewed on this
trip, perhaps the most interestind
features are the natural Ice Pal
aces, the only ones in the world
that are accessible, and are ranked
with the grandest of Colorado's
many wonders. Dense masses Of

Why Blinds Were Drawn.

The Edinburgh landlady of the sew

her stern determination to have the
blinds drawn closely down on the Sab
bath was but carrying on the tradi-
tions of her great-grandparents. The
Scot Of the early eighteenth century
had a reason for drawing his blinds
on Sunday. Mr.. Thompson in his
"Weaver's Craft" gives it. Some
times the minister himself" he wrote,
when he got colleague to preach for
him would make the rounds, accom-
panied by an elder, to spy with his
own eyes the sins of the absentees.
Here one man is found romping with
his BARNS, another as the minister

bank accounts by walking instead Of

1875, spent the night before with La

description he says: "At daybreak the

night in drinking places. sang ribald

meanwhile was explaining the mechan-

was to drop was brought. and while

rir. Themselves GETTING Ready.

Washington Irving tells story of a
man who tried to jump over a hill.
He went back so far to get his start
for the great leap and ran so hard that
he was completely, exhausted when he
came to the hill and had to lie down
and rest. Then he got up and walked
over the hill. A great many people
exhaust themselves getting ready to
do their work. They are always pre-
pairing. They spend their lives get
ting ready to do something which they
never do. 1t is an excellent thing to
keep improving oneself, to keep grow

the great work Of life. I know a man
who is almost forty years old who has
not yet decided what he is going to

and taken a number Of postgraduate
courses. but all along general lines.
He has not yet begun to specialize.
This man fully believes he is going to

The Paper They Were Written On.

The average author would probably
laugh at the statement that at one
time in the worlds history manu-
scripts, simply as such, irrespective Of
the nature Of the text. were immense
ly valuable. In ancient times manu-
scripts were important articles from a
commercial point Of view. They were
excessively scarce and were preserved
with the utmost care. Even the usur
ers. were glad to lend money on them
when the owners were obliged to offer
them in pawn. 1t Is related in an
ancient tome that student Of Pavia.
who was reduced by his debaucheries,
raised a new fortune by leaving in
pawn a manuscript of body Of law.
and grammarian who was ruined bv

volumes of Cicero through the ready

Plenty of Deer Left.

The Bellows Falls Times says that
some parties who probably know no
more about the real facts than many
other people estimated that there
were over 10000 deer in Vermont on
Monday morning, October %. 1t is
thought that the number killed last
week was between 5000 and 1000.
If there were 10000 before the sea-
son opened there are certainly plen-
ty of deer left If, however, there
were only 10000, Vermont's stock OF
deer has been sadly depleted.
One mans guess is as good as an
other and from what we have seen
hereabouts of deer, in season and out,
we are of the opinion that there were
nearer 100000 deer in this state on
the morning of Oct 25th. There
seems to be no diminution of the sup
ply in this section of the country and
they are TO be seen daily about their
accustomed haunts, in spite OF what
the Rutland Herald intimates to the
contrary. The Herald says that 1t
does not look for the usual reports
of anywhere from six to sixty deer
found yarded in Vermont forests,
which are usual annual features of
the states news. In fact, has any
one seen even one single, solitary
deer in the close or in the open, since
the season closed?'
Deer were seen in this town at
their regular feeding places early
Sunday morning, October 31st, and
only this last Sunday we personally
passed a fine doe on Mt Equinox and
she was not alarmed to any extent as
she was not twenty-five feet distant
and stood and looked at us while
and then slowly ambled away.-Man-

Doe Law All Right.

1t is apples VS.. deer in Windham
county, the same as it is sheep vs..
dogs throughout the state. There is
a movement on foot throughout New
England to increase her production
of apples. 1t is generally admitted
that this section is as well suited as
any in the world for the raising high
ly favored apples; but there will be
but little progress made in the
amount raised if, in addition TO all
the other pests that the orchardist
has to contend against, the deer pest
is allowed to increase. Whole or
chards of young trees have been ru-
ined by the nibbling of deer during
the past year, and the paltry compen-
sation of from % cents to one dollar
per tree that was allowed does not
begin to replace the trees.
The deer have been doing too much
damage; the state would be the gain
er if there were less of them; the
doe law is all right; it would be
still better if the open season were
longer. Let's encourage those who
wish to produce something of value
the orchardlsts. The development of
orchards is progression; trying to in
crease the number of wild animals is
retrogression. BY all means protect
the apple trees instead of protecting
their Observation-Disclosures Sift-
