THE DANCE
A MERRY One

The young ladies of the Catholic
lightful annual dances at the audi
torium, last night. Owing to the
fact that floor had recently been used
for roller skating it was not in the
best of condition during the first part
of the evening but later it became
very smooth. AT about IL o'clock
an intermission of five minutes was
taken while the floor vas swept.
An exceedingly large crowd was in
attendance and the ladies of the
church netted about $3.50, which will
be used for the benefit of the church
The Ladies' Aid society served sup
per on the stage and it was delic-
iously cooked and nicely served
Prof. Ducene and his orchestra fur
nished the music. which was of a
very high class. Dancing lasted until
after o'clock.
Twenty-four dances and three ex-
tras We're on the program and all
were carried out. Louis Storm acted
as floor manager and much credit for
the success of the dance must be
placed to his account and the COM
mittee who had charge of the ar
rangement of the programs.
A large number of young folks
from Fruita were present at the dance
as well as from other towns around.

when she attempted a trip down
town she was often. brought home in a

afterwards.
con the advice Of her physician she
gave up coffee and tea. drank Postum,
and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
She liked Postum from the very be
ginning and we 500 saw Improvement,
To-day she is in perfect health, the
mother of five children, all of whom are

A circular-wheel pillow is something
entirely new in this line. Popular Ne
chanics describes it as follows:
1T consists of a wheel 6 feet in di-
ameter, on the outside of which blades
or cutters are driven counter to the
direction in which the machine is NOV
ing.
THE wheel is hung on a frame and
has neither hub nor central axle, the
sprocket wheel by which it Is made to
revolve applying force at the perimeter
OF rim. By this plan, 50 the inventor
claims, the central lever strain upon
the wheel Is avoided and the knives
are gently forced through the soil, slic-
ing off layers. One end of the frame
on which the wheel Is hung Is vertical
ly hinged to the rear axle Of a power
traction truck. Wire cables are attach
ed to the outer end Of the frame and
carried over pulleys at the top of two
upright posts. Below this the ends are
attached to a drum upon which the
cables which lower and raise the cut
ting wheel are coiled."

was a farmer lad and had Away.
lived with father in the eastern part
Of New York State, but in the summer
Of "a l enlisted in the Sd New York
Light Artillery, Co. d. l entered my
first battle neal Goldsboro, N. G.. This
was the worst encounter l was ever
in. | had three horses shot from I'm,
der me. We were then ordered back
to the rear, where we left our horses,
but we had to go back and enter the
fight with 60 rounds each Of ammuni-
ton. At this time the enemy was
shooting so low that we were ordered
to lie down nnd do the best we could.
Many Of us dug the earth from under
us and piled 1t up in front. l shall
never forget one fellow who was lying
next me. He became so tired and stiff
from his cramped position that he
tried to turn over. In doing so he
raised his head a few inches. above
the rest Of us, when a ball struck him,
literally dividing his head into two
pieces and exposing his brain to full
view. He fell back by my side a
corpse.
One day myself and another fellow
were sent out to bury some horses.
The woods there were numerous with
rebel sharpshooters. We had nearly
finished our work when I heard the
distant report of a rife, and looking
around saw my fellow-workman lying
on the ground, shot to the heart. I
had but a moment to wait when a sec
ond ball entered a tree standing by my
side. I lifted m arms above my head
and fell. I had been lying there but
a few moments when I saw a gray
coat drop from a tree some 80 rods
away. He went off into the woods
looking for his next victim, evidently
thinking that he had added two more
feathers to his crown. When he passed
out Of sight l carried my dead partner
back to ann.
Another sad case which came under
my notice was that Of a poor fellow
who had been tried and convicted Of
attempt at desertion. He was sentenced
to be executed. Twelve men were de-
tailed to do the shooting. The victims
grave was dug and his box stood be-
side it. He was led in and sat upon
his box, then after he was blindfolded
by the provost marshal the order was
given to the twelve men to fire Zone
Of the guns was always loaded with a
blank. AS the eleven balls entered his
body he sprang to his feet, wrestling
his hands from where they had
the bandage from his eyes and pleaded
for mercy, but the marshal drew his
revolver and ended the poor fellows
life with three more balls.

DEFENDANT OF PENN'S FRIEND.
Ancestor of n Philadelphia Clergy
man Wa an Adviser Of Founder.

Ancestor of n Philadelphia Clergy

Almost within a stones throw of the
plot of ground where william Penn
made his treaty with the Indians, and
in a church whose membership consists
mainly of descendants Of old colonial
settlers, q historical sermon was
preached Sunday night on the life of
William Penn by a clergyman who
boasts Of being the great-great grand
son of one of the Pennsylvania found
er's dearest friends and counselors,
says the Philadelphia North American.
The church is the Emmanuel Episcopal
at Girard avenue and Marlborough
street, and the minister the Rev. Ed
ward Giles Knight.
According to the clergyman, there
has always been a Giles Knight. About
fifty years ago, because one generation
forgot to name any of the boys Giles,
one Of the family had his first name
changed by special act Of legislature.
Giles Knight. the first, came to this
country with William Penn In the good
ship Welcome in 1862, and when the
compact with the Indians was made
was an earnest adviser OF his chief.
Like William Penn, Giles knight had
guarreled with his father, then mayor
OF Bristol. England. over religious mat
tiers. and he sought refuge in this land
that he might worship his Creator In
his own way, and when and how he
pleased.
In his sermon DR.. Knight did not
touch upon his relationship with the
colonist, but devoted his talk to par
t:culars of PENIS early life.
Another member of Emmanuel
church proud of his ancestry is John
p. Eyre, one OF the ~vestrymen, whose
great-grandfather at. one time owned
the very spot of ground on which Will
lam Penn first landed. r.

Girls TauEht LifC-SayinY,

A course in life-saving has been in.
stituted among the women students Of
Columbia University for the purpose Of
making them as adept as men in res
cuing drowning persons. They receive
the regular life-savlng drill, including
the grips and breaks, towing to shore
and artificial respiration. A fully
dressed girl is thrown into the water at
one end of the swimming tank, and
other girls are obliged to rescue heT
from the opposite end and take her
back, which is already done in 81 sec
onds. This new departure in %co-educa-
ton has become immensely popular.

One often sees al extended list OF
bargain prices. In most instances the
property can be purchased at less than
one-half Of what the improvements
cost. The land has become so unpro-
ductive as to be Improbable for cult
walton. Yet the farms once produced
fair crops and supported their owners
In contentment and comfort. The men
who carved these homes out of the
primeval forests were fairly prosperous
and many Of them accumulated liberal
completeness.
The original owners were indus
trious, frugal and prudent In managing
their holdings and each year witnessed
an increase to their wealth. They
practiced mixed husbandry and always
made fertilizers Of their forage and the
bulk Of their grain. They kept a rea-
s0nable amount OF stock and grazed
their animals on pastures seeded with
clover and other nutritious grasses.
The droppings Of their hocks and herds
fed the soil with fertility and the land
became more productive annually.
When rotation Of pasture fields to cul-
tivated crops occurred the farmer was
assured of a liberal reward.
The development Of the rich prairie
lands Of the West Frustrated the agri-
culture Of the East. When continental
railroads penetrated the government
lands and afforded IN outlet to the
products Of unimproved Western prai-
ries great herds of cattle and sheep
land that could be purchased at govern
ment prices. Eastern farmers could
not compete with the Western ranch
men or wheat growers on cheap, fertile
lands and the products Of the West
soon dominated the markets Of the
East. This meant to the Eastern farm
err not only the elimination Of animal
Of the fertility of the Eastern farms.
Following a system Of cultivated crops
the land declined in productivity until
the crops did not pay the first cost Of
production, and the sons Of Eastern
farmers sought employment and homes
in the industrialism Of cities.
Experiments are being made Of recla-
nation of the abandoned and chap
farms of the East with artificial fer
~tiliZers. The humus, nitrogen, potash
and phosphoric acid Of the soil need
to be restored to give the soil its virgin
vigor. While commercial fertilizers
accomplish much in the restoration Of
worn ont land, animal husbandry ap-
pears to be necessary for the reclama-
ton of impoverished farms. The drop

KINGS STEEL COACHES.

ArmoF Plate Saved Aifonso-Czaf
Not So Fortunate.
The huge state coach in which King
Edward rides to open Parliament
weighs four tons. 1t would have
weighed nearly six if certain high Off
Gals had had their way at the
ton. They wanted to line the vehicle
with plate armor as a precaution
against possible bomb throwers. But
his Majesty objected.
Hence it happens that the only diff
ference in this direction between it and
any ordinary coach is that it is pro-
vided with steel shutters, which,,
though invisible to the ordinary OBJ
server. can be instantaneously raised to
mask the windows when desirable.
Other monarchs, however. are not so
Indifferent to danger in this respect.
King Alfonso, for instance, had all his
state and private carriages armor-
plated Immediately after his attempted
assassination in Paris in 1905.
To this he owes his life. as does also
Queen Ena. The bomb thrown by the
anarchist, Moral, on the occasion Of
their wedding at Madrid exploded i'm
mediately beneath the coach in which
they were seated.
But its steel plates withstood the
conclusion and the young couple were
uninjured, although the horses were
blown to pieces, together with no
fewer than twenty-three innocent by
ISLANDERS.
In this respect Alfonso was luckier
han was the Gar Alexander Of Rus
STA, who first invented this style of
vehicle. On March 10, 1881, he was
driving in st. Petersburg in a sledge
lined throughout with t~hree-quarter-
inch steel plates when a bomb was
thrown by a nihilist. The explosion
that followed was terrific.
But the Car was unhurt and, think
ing the danger was over, he leaped
from the window, only to be instantly
slain by another bomb, thrown by a
second nihilist, who himself was killed
by the same explosion.
