Drouths and deluges may destroy our

THE HOME
The Motto on the Wall.

The Motto on the Wall.
On the wall of cottage, poor ana plalh'
/ read these lines so true:
GIVE to the world the besty no nave, ;,
And the best will come back to YOU
What did it mean? A crust from the
board,
draught from the we'll spring nigh,
Or the silver notes of the little child,
AS she caroled her song, close by!
With wonder 1 gazed on the simple home,
Old-fashioned, quaint ana neat,
The roses blooming around the door,
And pinks with perfume sweet
Then the pansies nodding their tiny
heads,
While a whisper through the trees.
A whisper of welcome" to tired souls,
Came in with the passing breeze
Then a friendly hand was clasped In
mine,
AS a welcome thrice she gave,
For a faith and love had mace her lie
A mirror of king and slave
The secret I read on her happy race
OF the motto on the wall, -
She gave from her heart the best she
had,
Her faith, her love, her all.
And into her life flowed joy untold,
Faith and love for her utmost neeos'
And all who came to her humble nome
Were blessed by her words and deeos'

Sensational Law Suit

The most sensational lawsuit of
the season was filed Wednesday in
the district court by Andrew Olson.
through his attorneys Joseph c. Ew-
ing and William X. Kelly, against
A. IL. Strom, n wealthy farmer a
mile and n half west of Greeley.
From the nature of the case 1t looks
as though it should have been
brought in the criminal court rather
than the civil court, but the wound
will probably be healed quicker with
dollars than with a term in Jail.
Olson and Strom are both well-to-
do. prominent in the Swedish church
and neighbors.
The suit is not brought for aliena-
tion of affections, as it is not claimed
that the Olson woman has any re-
gard Tor S'r0m. For tho allered out
rage and the womans' critical cordi-
tion the husband demands $4,000.
Strom denies the allegation and
says it is a case of blackmail. Strom
has a wife and several children and
the Olsons have one child

PLAN TO ENLARGE
BOYD RESERVOIR
MAKING PRELIMINARY SURVEA
Fifty Teams and Many Men at Work
ltaising Dam

p. A. Hartung left last Friday
for Boyd Lake and vicinity to make
the preliminary survey for the new
Boyd Lake irrigation district. When
this big project is completed nearly
all the highlands between Greeley
and Loveland will be reclaimed. The
top level of Boyd Lake is at an ele-
walton of 4.96S feet and all territory
not over 5000 above sea level in that
vicinity will be watered The water
will be pumped an average height
OF forty feet and the engineers are
now engaged in ascertaining the
cheapest method of power to be used
Fifty teams are at work raising
the dam of the lake, which will in
month from now give the large
reservoir capacity of full two bill
| lion cubic feet. One-half of this will
| be used for the new irrigation pro.
| ject in the oklahoma district and il
is more than probable that the other
half will be acquired by the Greeley

but the man had been dead for n
number of hours. There is no doubt
but that 1t was a case of suicide
The fact that the blood from the has-
gled wrist had been drained into a
bucket would constitute evidence to
this effect In itself. He was last
seen at meals Sunday noon.
He was "a man about 80 years of
age and had been here a little less
than week. He made no friends
and seemed Respondent. He was out
OF work and probably ended his life
in an attack of dependency result
ing from this. III there was another
motive. it will likely come to light
today when the inquiries now being
made are concluded. A card was
found on his person, indicating that
he has relatives at an address on
Grand avenue, Denver.
The unfortunate man took no
chances OF failure in his task of self
Staying. The wrist was cut three
times and the blood drained into a
bucket. Then, apparently, just be
fore swooning, he cut his throat and
toppled back on the bed. 1t is not

been working on a railroad before
