which are the laws of God, but the
idea that every day is day of judg
ment and not that it is to be post
poned till some indefinite time, is
gaining widespread acceptance. Per
haps it will help us in the year 1910
If we remember this.
would like to close this with
some thoughts from the pen of Max
Ehrmain, that may be helpful:
Let me do my work each day; and
II the
Darkened hours of despair over
come me,
May not I forget the strength that
comforted me
In the desolation of other times,
may
Still remember the bright hours that
found me
Walking over the silent hills of my
childhood,
Or dreaming en- the margin of the
quiet river
When a light glowed within me and
l promised my early God to
Courage amid the trumpets of the
changing years.
Spare me from the bitterness and
the sharp passion
OF unguarded moments. May 1 not
forget
That poverty and riches are of the
spirit.
Though the world moves me not,
May my thoughts and actions be
AS shall keep me friendly with my
self.
Lift my eyes from the earth and
let me
Not forget the uses of the stars.
Forbid that l should judge others.
lest
condemn myself.
Let me not feel the glamour of the
world;
But walk calmly in my path. Give
A few friends who will love me for
what I am;
And keep ever burning before my
vagrant steps
The kindly light of hope; and
though
Age and infirmity overtake me,
and
Come not within sight of the castle
of my dreams
Teach me still to be thankful for
life,
And for times olden moments
that are
Good and sweet; and may the even
- ing twilight
Find me gentle still"

Totens.

Among the savage and barbarian
tribes. especially the North American
Indians, totem is the symbol of a
family or clan. and Is usually some
animal or natural object 1t serves as
q sort OF surname for the family. Its
Importance lies in the idea that indi-
vhaals trace their lineage from it.
The turtle. bear and wolf are favored
and honored totems among many
tribes. The obligations growing out
OF O common totem are scrupulously
regarded. Intermarriage among those
having " Is criminal. All such, of
whatever clan or tribe. friendly or
hostile. have rights Of hospitality, or
sussor In distress and Of friendship
as blood relations. The totem is never
changed.

THE. PAcToLUs ROAD.
There Is a Movement Of Some Sort
Toward tho Completion Of ths
Road Which Will Probably be
Syndicated.

The Pactolus grading party sus
pended work for the winter at q
point about ten miles from Central
City, having completed seven miles
ground and the possibility of deep
snow prevented further continuation
out of the question. This road when
completed will connect Central City
Black Hawk, Russell Gulch and Ne
vadaville with the Moffat line at
Pactolus.
When grading is finished, it is ex-
pected that the ties will be laid i'm
mediately and the rails, which are
believed to have already been order.
ed, delivered so that cars ought to
thereafter. The Moffat road seems
favorable to this enterprise for they
have already given orders for con-
nections with their line at the point
named.
Upwards of one hundred men had
been employed and some thirty or
more teams engaged in helping things
along.
The distance between the two
points Is seventeen miles. The maxi
mum grade is four per cent and the
steepest haul will be up the Beaver.
The route selected is one of the most
practicable. 1t is about the shortest
that could be chosen and the grade
the ughtest and curvature the least.
The route precludcs any trouble
from snow or high water and winds
around the hills reaching the more
accessible mining sections, such as
the camps of: Gold Dirt, Perigo,
Wideawake, Silver Creek, Apex, Elk
Park, American City, Twelve Mile,
Nugget and Yankee Hill at greater
cally free from tunnels and high
bridges, and should be the cheapest
10 operate.
The distance from Denver to Pac-
tCluS over the MOIlat TOau Is 90
miles and from the latter to Central
City II, making So miles. which dis
tance should be covered in two and
one-half hours.
the benefits to be derived by this
road will be incalculable, touching
rs it will so many camps known to
possess a large tonnage of ore. 1t
will afford a through transportation
TO the valley and making it possible
70 draw direct the supply Of coal,
Which will be needed in working the
mines more economically. Spurs from
the main line could be built to most
Of the big mines thus doing away
with the haul by teams.
The situation seems to be that the
concern is on the eve of syndi-
cate movement of some sort, thus
showing that the possibilities are
greater than anticipated. There is
no question about the road receiving
good business for the mineral of
Gilpin county is practically inexhaus-
tible.

the law directing the investigation Of the
Brownsville case by a military court
The law calls for the appointment of
retired officers TO serve on the court. but
Congress apparently overlooked the fact
that retired officers cannot be ordered 10
such duty without their consent. More
over. there Is no appropriation for trans
portation and other expenses.
Secretary Dickinson viii probably sen
Congress request that this feature of
expenses and compensation be consid-
cred. Otherwise the investigation VII
remain a problem.
