by Congressman At Large E. T.
Taylor he says that requests ought
not to be made to more than one
senator or one congressman, and each
request should be limited to a small

A. Rapin. Tony Zanella. Herman
BRANDED, Albert Gundy and James
Brown were arrivals home Monday
evening. They had been fishing at
the south fork Of Williams creek In
Routt county and hunting In Rio
Blanco. Each one succeeded In getting
. deer with the exception Of Brown,
who was late In Joining the party
and did not reach the hunting ground
until after the rest Of the crowd had
killed their buck. The hunters say
they never saw grouse as plentiful az
they were In the mountains this year
They had the same report that all
parties made-too many hunters out
this year for the number OF bucks.
The game warden in Rowtt county
told the crowd that there had been
800 hunters in that section since the
season opened and less than IS deer
were shipped out!Last year. when the
law permitted the killing Of bucks,
docs and fawn. close to $500 car.

That young men are much in de-
mand as principals and superinten-

is shown by the large number of re-

for such teachers during the past

greater than the supply. Competent

HAPPENINGS

A raise in the water in the Phoe-

in the ground caused by the unusual
wet season.
Charles Groseman, who went to
Oak Creek a short time since, return
ed last Wednesday. He left for Den
yer Tuesday in search of work.
Nick Thomas returned Friday from
Oak Creek. Like others who have de-
parted from Nevadaville to seek pas
lures new, he is only too glad to
get back.
James Williams, who went to
Routt county couple of weeks ago
to Join hunting party, returned
home last week. Contrary to all ex-
pectations he returned empty hand
ed. He did have a couple Of deer
heads. but his friends who were
fired with disappointment, informed
the hunter that they couldn't eat
them. Jim claims he killed deer
all right but 1t was too much trouble
to bring the whole carcass back with
him and anyway he wanted to have
the heads he brought back with him
mounted and retained as evidence
of his skill as a marksman. He claims
that he only killed one deer and his
friends are not the least bit suspi-
cious that he exceeded that number.
In fact they reluctantly accept the
statement that he killed one-and
there is wide room for doubt.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Hoskin de-
parted this week for the mother
country where they will visit until af-
ter the holidays with relatives and old
time friends. Mr. Hoskin after he
reaches England may decide to take
a trip to South Africa to look over
the mining field. They anticipate a
very pleasant trip and their friends
here hope that their anticipations are
realized.

Wheaton were strictly Of a business char
acter. This was not by intention on Por
ter's part. He assumed that at some
time he or Thompson had known all
about Wheaton's antecedents; and after
50 many years of satisfactory service
during the greater part Of which the
bank had been protected against Whea.
ton, as against all the rest of the EN-.
ployes. by a bonding company, he accept.
ed the cashier without any question. Be
fore Evelyn's return he had one day ex.
pressed to Wheaton his satisfaction that
he would soon have a home again, and
Wheaton remarked with civil sympathy
that Miss Porter must now be quite q
young lady"
"Oh, yes; you must come up to the
house when we get going again." Porter
answered.
Wheaton had seen the inside of few
houses in Clarkson. He had a recollcc,
ton of having been sent to Porter's sev'
eral times, while he was still an erranc
boy in the bank, to fetch Porter's bag or
occasions when the president had been
called away unexpectedly. He remem-
bered Evelyn Porter as she used to come
as a child and sit in the carriage outside
the bank to wait for her father; the
Porters stood to him them, and now, for
wealth and power.
Rnridan had a contempt for Wheaton's
intellectual deficiencies and praise Of
Wheaton's steadiness and success vexed
him as having some sting for himself :;
but his own aminble impulses got the bet.
ter of his prejudices, and he showed
Wheaton many kindnesscs. When the
others at The Bachelors nagged Whea-
ton, it was 1taridan VINO threw himself
into the controversy to take Wheatons
part. He took him to call at some of
the houses he knew best, and though this
was a matter of ~pro9inquity he knew
nevertheless that he preferred Wheaton
to the others in the house. Wheaton
was not noisy nor pretentious and the
others were sometimes both.
Wheaton soon found it easy to do
things that he had never thought of do
ing before. He became known to the
tie Hamblctonian at a certain liveryman's
which Wary Raridan drove a good deal,
and he had learned from Wary how
pleasant it was to drive out to the new
country club in a %runabout instead of
using the street car, which left a margin
of plebeian walking It the end of the
line. But while he acquired the superb
cial graces, he did not lose his ~instinc-
tive thrift he had never attempted to
plunge, even on what his associates at
The Bachelors called sure things :" and
he was equally incapable of personal ex-
travagances. If he bought flowers he sent
them where they wouIu tell in his favor.
If he had five dollars to give to the Ic'
Fund for the poor. he considered that
when the newspaper printed his name in
its list of acknowledgements. between
Timothy Margrave. who gave fifty dol
lars, and William Porter, who gave TWEEN
ty-ive, he had received an adequate re-
turn on his investment.

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
caused by an infamed condition Of the mu-

this tube is infamed you have a rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out

Five Burned Perhaps Fatally by Fire
at a Commencement.
Five children who took part in the
commencement exercises of Mrs. B. c.
Boyd's school in Central City, KY, on
Monday night were burned, perhaps
fatally, n the audience was changed
from an applauding crowd to a fight
ing mob. Men in the audience covered
the flaming children with their coats
and thus saved them. Little Dorothy
Clay was the unwilling cause of the
fire. The children had formed in a
circle and had drilled in their white
muslin dresses. Then the lights were
extinguished and a candle in the hand
of each child flashed out. The audience
applauded so enthusiastically that Dor
othy became frightened and dropped
her candle. The flame leaped to the
white muslin, and in a twinkling five
dresses we're afire. Mothers fought to
reach their children and the children
made efforts to Chamber over the foot
lights.
