know where to look for him Elsie was haifhidden by
the wheelbarrow Clarence was already out Of sight
She looked only an instant and then hid her eyes and
counted again This time only baby Harold was in sight
AT the third count all were gone so Lille chanted out
One, two three,
Look out for me-
For shall spy
Wherever you lie
OF she ran to the rosebnshes but Jack had changed
MS plan ana patted her out on her goal after wild
rush from the corner Of the woodshed
Elsie was under the wheebarrow, however and could
not get out before Lille was back at her goal The
others were found in various places
Then they began again, with Elsie as Jlinder This
time Clarence forgot to stop when Z Ten stops was
called, and lodged around the corner Bit Elsie saw

My schocl-books dull have been packed away
And I've nothing to do but play and play
Just romp and frolic the livelong day,
In vacation time at Grandpa's.
I've lessons to think about
No more to be all worked out:
I'll soon forget then wit Jut doubt,
When get up to Grandpa's.
We ride in the cars one whole day through
Don't we get tired?" Well, yes, we do
Tired and hot, but like IT, too,
That long, long trip to Grandpa's.
There at the station is Uncle Fred
With the carriage and horse, and the old dog Ned:
How he scampers and barks and runs ahead
When we say Gee up for Grandpa'st"
We drive and drive till the suns most down.
Past the big white meeting house through the town
And out by the school house old and brown
That is only mile iiom Grandpa's.
I'd like to tell how we spend the day.
How we ride the horses and rake the hay

UNDER $500 DOND

James Brown, who was charged with
shooting at H. C. Jessup and Dave
Smith while they were measuring n
dam in the Cooper ditch near Carbon
dale a few weeks ago, was given a
preliminary hearing by Justice Card
nell on Tuesday of this week, change
of venue having been taken by the de
fendant from Justice Pings of Carbon
dale. The defence offered no evidence
and made no denial of the charge, but
eontended that Brown was acting with
in his right as an owner of part of the
ditch and was merely protecting his
property. As the question of right to
the ditch is to be settled this month IN
the district court, Brown was placed
under a $500 bond for his appearance
before Judge Shumate and that the
district attorney might make some In
vestigations into the affair.
After the hearing Tuesday, Brown
made speech to the newspaper men
and said "Now you tell them all about
it. ! am desperate man and have
started a graveyard already. I don 7
know what you have said in the paper
but make this story as strong as you
did the other one.'
He then began long string of ex
plantations to the whole affair, but the
court was through and 1t was then W

FINE RANCH AT A BARGAIN

When unimproved Grand valley fruit
land can be had for as low as $75 per
acre, it is surely great bargain, yet
am Offering a much better bargain,
as follows:
Seventy acres of choice mesa fruit
land, three miles from the town of
Grand Valley, all under ditch, 40 to
IS acres under cultivation, over two
acres of bearing orchard, apples, plums,
cherries apricots, and Elberta peaches,
teu acres freshly seeded alfalfa, 10
acres old alfalfa, some wheat, oats and
potatoes planted this year, small al
ia'ta hog pasture, three-room log
house, barn and stone chicken house,
large implement and wagon shed. The
watcr right is absolutely first class. If
taken at once this place can be had
for $4,000, and it is a snap at that.
Just think of it! Only $50 per acre
for choice fruit land in one of the most
desirable sections of western Colorado.
Unless picked up by some one who ap-
preciates a bargain owner will move
his family to this place in about Il
week and then it will be withdrawn
from the market. Come-arunning if
you want a real bargain. $2,500 cash,
balance may stand at so.

Ihe writer adds the following com
ments in the way of elucidation:
1.-The highest points in Delaware are
two rounded SUBMITS, one mile east
of Brandywine, and another lust south
of Centerville, both of which are slight
y over 440 feet. The point given in
the table as the highest in MARYLAND
is in the narrow disputed strip living
along the West Virginia line. If this
belongs to the latter State the highest
point in Maryland will be a 3,34O-foot
peak mile northwest of the 3,4OO foo5
one. There is some doubt as to the
highest points in the Central States
notably in Michigan, where it is claim
ed that Huron Mountains, in Marquette
County. are higher than Porcupine
Mountain. 1t is possible also that
there are higher points in Minnesota
and Wisconsin than those given, hut
they have not been measured.
In Florida the land north of Mount
Pleasant probably is slightly higher
than at the railroad station. In Louis,

"I went to the show and entered one
of the side shows connected with the

traption and walked up closer to see
what was going on and there was that
old bird and card gag being worked

gambling was carried on in Glenwood

I noticed there was lull in the game

manager of the affair and Sheriff Will

ter over the place to convince him that
everything was on the "square. The
sheriff looked at the little birdie and
watched it go through its performance
and with "that's great scheme
turned away and was given ticket
into another tent. There was the sher-
if of the county saying that's great
scheme' when looking at one of the
most disgraceful gambling devices thar
ever entered the county. Either he
does not know gambling when he sees
it or he did not want to do anything
After the sheriff disappeared from
sight, the game WAS resumed and the
beardless boys from over the county
were deprived of their money. oh, no

All the year round the Aigle prison

BEAUTY HINTS.

To improve the contour of the face
try filing the cheeks with air and let
ting it explode with a soft explosive
sound. Do this fifteen or twenty times
a day.
A glass of hot water taken just after
rising, a half hour before breakfast,
will cure indigestion
Very hot water externally applied
will stop dangerous bleeding.
1t is as important not to get too thin
as too fat, as either condition makes
even a young girl look several years
older than her actual age. A girl who
considers herself fully grown should
ascertain what is the correct weight
for her height and then try to attain
and maintain that standard.
Peroxide of hydrogen is a harmless
bleach when used in moderation. Pour
a little In a saucer and apply with a
soft linen cloth. 1t may be used sew
eral times a week without injury.
Overplump girls should carefully
study their figures and decide where
in they are faulty. Usually the waist
line Is too high. The waist may be
heightened by touching the floor with
the finger tips twenty times every
morning. This practice is better than
wearing shape making c~orsets. for
when the waist is too tightly confined
the figure loses its natural grace and
ease of movement
Somersaults are not dignifed, but
they are of the best of all weight
reducing exercises They win take
off fat rapidly and safely-barring a
few b-ruises-unless one has a tenden-
cy to heart weakness.
Weakness Of the heart is indicated
by bre~athlessness after any Slight ex-
ertion and by such evidences of imper-
feet circulation as pale finger nails
and cold extremftfes.
The harder the toothbrush the more
effectually 1t cleans the teeth.
Alcohol o. ether Will dry the hair
quickly, but It Will turn the hair gray.
One cannot have a pretty hand If the
fingers are broad at the tips. Pressing

Quick Way.

No matter how much a woman may
like to sew, she often gets very tired
Of the work, especially when there are
just a few more stitches needed to
complete an article. This is true of
the busy mother who is always plan
ming for the making of something else
before the garment in hand is finished.
BY such a woman a helpful hint is ap-
preciated.
For instance, when making a corset
cover 1t takes time to cut and turn in
the edges Of material for a casing
through which to run the ribbon neces-
sarily used at the waist line Of the
article. A piece Of strong tape of suf-
fctent width Will not have to be turned
in, but merely to be sewed along each
edge on the sewing machine and used
as a casing.

Do Not Feed Crackers.

The habit Of giving baby something
to chew. ETC.. between meals is not to
be advocated, and crackers should be
banished from the nursery. Far from
being digestible, they are otherwise,
for moistened by much saliva they go
into the stomach In solid mass more or
less poultice-like In effect and give the
tiny organs hard work. When baby Is
old enough to have any such article Of
food, zweibach should be substituted
for crackers.
Unless there is good reason for the
change, a child, no matter what age,
should be kept on the food on which 1t
thrives. If the feeding varies from
what the infant has been accustomed
to the method should still be followed.
For instance, If there is a child visit
ing the house its usual hours must be
known and continued, and If it has
been in the habit of getting its heavy
meal at a time different from those at
home effort should be made to let the
individual regime continue. Otherwise
the visitor is likely to become ILL
For example, a child of nine years
who has been having her hearty meal
at 6 o'clock went recently to visit some
relatives who gave 1t to her In the
middle of the day, with bread and
milk at night. On coming home she
told her mother that she had been hum
CRY all the time at night and was un-
able to sleep, and she was really Ill for
three days afterward- 1t was entirely
a result of changing hours of feeding.
