pieeina ou. the Prayer.

or curious prayers a writer says: Il
have heard layman utter this petition
during the prayer: o, Lord. be thou
with us in our upsittings an our down
risings'-a variant OF the text in the
psalms. Thou knowest my downsit-
tings and mine uprisings.' A minister
occasionally introduced a Latin se'-
tence into his prayer. and forthwh h
proceeded to translate II. Another min-
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable dificulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies a quar-
ter of an hour. but long before this Pc
riod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while in this di-
Iemma. he startled his hearers with the
words: And now. o Lord, l will re-

Governor Shafroth's Message.

In a message to the Legislature OF
Colorado Governor Shafroth urges the
Democratic members either to redeem
their pledges to the people contained
in the platform on which they we're
elected or else to resign their seats.
The message follows:
March %. 1909.
TO the Members OF the Seventeenth
General Assembly:
"Gentlemen-The Democratic party
for the first time in the history OF
Colorado has been placed in power in
all Of the branches OF the state gov
ernment We as its representatives
have been placed there under certain
pledges contained in our platform. The
principles contained in these pledges
in the party's judgment as ratified by
the people, are essential to good gov
ernment. II we fail to perform the du-
ties intrusted to US by the people in
an honest, direct. inevasive manner,
our party may never again attain
such an advantageous position. Today
is truly the day Of opportunity.
Il stated in my inaugural message
to you, that the pledges constituted
contract with the people and should
be faithfully performed. Seventy-six
days Of this session have been con
sumed by those who are evading or
trying to defeat the bills containing
these platform pledges. The conflict
is whether party pledges are to be re-
garded as sacred or deceptive devices
r. hat v,rt1.
lie official may wilfully evade, or open
ly violate a pledge upon which he Sc
cured an election, is to surrender the
vital principle of representative gov
ernment. have tried by arguing. coax
ing and begging to induce most OF
these recalcitrant members to pass
these measures. For the passage and
presentation for my signature of even
one OF them l have waited day after
day, until patience has ceased to be a
virtue.
IF any member. since the election
has changed his mind as to these
measures and has conscientious scru
pies against voting for the same, he
should resign his seat now. If he will
not resign, then the party in each
county having such member should
meet in mass assembly and demand
that he vote for these party measures
or resign.
''In the full two weeks remaining OF
this session. you still have time to en-
act into law these reforms. wish to
warn you that il these party pledges
these contracts Of honor, are not sub
stantially complied with. I expect to
call an extra session OF the General
Assembly and l shall expect the peo
ble Of this state to hold these oppos
ing and evading members responsible
therefor. Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHAFROTH.
Governor of Colorado"

Aoainst National Inheritance Tax.

NJ Howell in the House. presented
the following resolution, the occasion
for which is President Taft's recent
message to Congress advising ma
tional tax on inheritances:
Whereas. the several states are
now taxing inheritances with marked
success and need all the revenue that
can properly be drawn from this
source; and
Whereas, the federal government
readily raises additional revenue when
required from other sources: there
fore. be it
Resolved, by the General Assembly
OF the State Of Colorado:
"First-That the taxation Of inheri
tances should be reserved to the sew
eral states as q source Of revenue for
their exclusive use and benefit.
"Second-That the General Assem-
bly, of the state Of Colorado hereby re-
spectfully request and urge the sena
tors and representatives Of the state
OF Colorado in the Congress OF the
United States to support properly
drawn joint resolution. when proposed
for adoption in the two houses OF the
Congress. declaring it to be the policy
of the federal government to refrain
from the taxation of inheritances fol-
federal purposes to reserve this source
Of revenue for the exclusive use and
benefit of the several states.
"Third-That the senators and rep
resentatives of the state Of Colorado
in Congress are requested to oppose
with all their vigor any measure which
will give to the national government
the taxation of inheritances."

had already forgiven. and think OF
him only as the boy who had loved

Once l found her gazing at the pic

Il am going home to him." she said !:
he needs me. There is much he
must be taught-self-denial, honesty,
forbearance-all of life's lessons. He
must learn them all. And he shall be
good man"
Only at the last, as she stood in the
door closely veiled and ready for the
upon undertaking alone, did she relax
even a little. Then she drew me to
her and kissed me, and l could feel
warm tears upon my face.
Some time" she said, later on,

will see you again. You were very.
very good to me, and l thank you.
Good-by."
Thus she passed out Of our lives.
and we settled down again, a little
graver, perhaps. and little less apt
to treat every subject as joke. Eliz-
abeth said she did not love the ocean
as much as formerly, while Gabrielle
confessed she often went out of her
way to avoid seeing the little house
on the shore, now lonely and unoccu-
pied. As for me, l often awoke with
start, thing l heard Mrs. Graham
calling me. and half expecting to find
her standing beside my bed, waiting
for me to go out with her Just as dawn
was breaking.
| 1t was then that our friendship for
Lady Edith ripened into love. She
was so sympathetic, so gentle. and SO
patient with the strange attitude as.
sumed by poor Mrs. Graham. One
could not but admire a woman whose
every advance was frigidly repelled
yet made no comment and expressed
no surprise. but quietly did all in her
! power to help a sister woman through
the deep waters that engulfed her. .
Her charity was extended to Nj

graphed upon my mind. l can see Mrs.
Graham walking around with her
stony calmness, directing everything
and receiving all efforts at sympathy
with the same impenetrable air OF re-
serve and the same proud dignity
which forbade pity and discouraged in
timacy.
We did what we could. which was
distressingly little, and We also suf-
fered not a few pangs of remorse at
having presumed to judge her. For
much and in silence; that she had
loved deeply and been sorely
wounded; and had endured the unen-
durable with loyalty and patience
worthy the admiration we felt and
would have liked to express had she
permitted us to do so.
We realized also that we had known
her only when exhausted nature had
rebelled at the strain imposed upon
it. when her vitality had little by lit
tie been sapped away and the long
continued tension of her nerves was
about TO snap at this last turning OF
the screw. We remembered the many
hours she had spent alone in the bleak
little house. and thought OF the things
We might have done with the keen re-
gret that comes when the opportunity

LESS MEAT
Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times . day. Science has found out
differently.
1t Is now q common thing for fam
fly physician to order less meat. as in
the following letter from N. Y. man.
II had suffered for years with dys-
pepsis and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. tried several
things to take the place Of my usual
breakfast Of chops, fried potatoes. ETC.,
but got no relief until ! tried Grape
Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part Of my meals for two years,
am now . well man. Grape Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth Of medicine had taken
before.
my wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years. and we
are . yer, happy family, largely due to
Grape-Nuts.
I'VE have been so much benefited
BY Grape-Nuts that It would be un.
