and the court oyerruled their demur-
rors and gave them ten days In which
to nle supplemental answers.
The decision on the demurrers was
handed down by Chief Justice Cla-
baugh and in announcing his decision
the chief justice referred 10 the fact
that even though the mandamus ls-
sued followed by the delivery Of pat
ents to Knight and Twist this would
not avail them anything because pat
ents had already issued TO Eva Waters
and that the courts Of the District OF
Columbia could take no further ac-
tlon and that the issuance OF a writ
on mandamus would not improve the
condition of knight and twist and the
second point which the chief justice
made was that knight and Twist were
not entitled 70 the patents because
the jurisdiction Of the secretary Of the
interior ala not cease on May 10, 1909,
at which time the contest cases were
determined IN favor Of knight and
Twist bat continued during the con.
troversy which followed up until the
secretary had divested himself Of
jurisdiction by delivering the patents
to Eva Waters

THE GOOD OLD HYMNS.

There's lots of music in 'em, the
hymns of long ago;
An when some gray-haired brother
sings the ones l used to know
sorter want to take hand think
o the days gone by
"On Jordan's stormy banks | stand
and cast wistful eye"
There's lots of music in 'em-those
dear, sweet hymns of old,
With visions bright of lands of light
and shining streets of gold;
And | hear EN- ringing
where memory dreaming stands,
From Greenland's icy mountains to
India's coral strands"
We hardly needed singin' books in
them old days; we knew
The words, the tunes. of every one The
dear old hymn book through
We had no blaring trumpets then, no
organs built for show:
We only sang to praise the Lord,
from whom all blessings flow" "
An so love the dear old hymns, and
when my time shall come
Before the light has left me and my
singing lips are dumb
If can only hear 'em, then I'll pass,
without a sigh,
ITO Canaans fair and happy land
where my possessions lie!'

Startling facts wore revealed today
by the annual report of the internal
revenue department. which shows
that since July, 1903, more licenses
have been issued for the manufacture
and selling of oleomargaine in Colo
rado than ever before in the history
of the state. The cause is the pres
ent high price of butter, which is
selling for 40 and 40 cents a pound
According to figures presented by the
local revenue agents, more than 400
dealers are turning out oleo, whereas
at the close ofthe fiscal year in July,
1909, only 200 dealers were making
the stuff. This report also shows an
Increase Of $4,000 in the payment of
special taxes or licenses for the sale
of Intoxicating liquors, indicating
that more people are in the liquor
business than ever before. The total
amount collected for licenses for The
fiscal year was $47,911. The report
shows decrease in the consumption
of beer the total tax for the year be-
ing SAIL ,391, against S437.6SO in
1908, loss of s26,3SS. There has
also been a falling off in the cigar
and tobacco business. but the spirit
