WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

There is never day so dark and bue
But what light shines brightly somewhere for you
There is never night weary and worn,
But what the sunshine will brighten with the coming of
There is never life so cold and drear
But what the spirit of kindness can always cheer.
There is never soul SO gloomy and sad,
But what the spirit of faith can always make glad
There is never duty too hard to d.
If the reward of the righteous you keep in view
There is never path too rugged and steep,
If the spirit Of hope in your bosom you keep.

e lowe Paf NRVcp 9)lcS.
The evening shades we're falling fast,
The earth was hushed and still,
A mothers life was ebbing fast,
In answer to the Masters will.
A son in silence bowed and knelt
Beside that mothers bed,
A sweet farewell, a loving kiss,
And then soul had fed.
AS if an image to impress,
A tear he wiped away,
And cast one long look at the form
= That death had changed to clay
And when beside his little bed
Day ended with prayer,
In childish faith he offered up
His mother to Gods care.
No loving hand was left to guide
That young life pure and bright
No one to warn him of the wrong,
Or point him to the right.
And when by day his heart was sad,
Or at night his dreams with fear we're filled,
A new strange voice hushed him to rest
The one he loved was sti]led.
Then came the day when he must strive
His way through life to pay,
His young heart yearned for one kind word
To speed him on his way.
His bark, so frail on life's wild sea,
Was wrecked upon reef,
When scarce his journey had begun,
His heart was filled with grief
When bowed in shame he prayed to God
To spare him from such pain.
An Angel soul in heaven heard,
And babe him try again.
And as in thought he journeyed back,
Again he that face,
Her last dear words be heard again,
And felt her fond embrace.
When night crept in his grief to hide,
With sleep to calm his fear,
vision sweet appeared to him,
The mother of childhood dear.
Again she stroked his bowed down head,
As at her knee he knelt
And told him of home above,
Where grief is never felt
Of how the Lord in heaven had
For each of them share,
And how she hoped and prayed that soon
She'd welcome him up there
That if in sin his life WAS spent
Her face no more he'd see,
But with Gods grace his soul might rest
With hers, through all eternity.
His sins would all be washed away,
That in heaven they might abide,
And that it was for such as he
A Saviour lived and died.
And when with morn the vision passed
His heart with JOY did fill,
And on his knees he prayed for strength
To do his Masters will.
And up in heaven the angels heard
Their songs with joy did ring
And thus life was made more bright
soul was saved from sin.

Road and Bridge Bills.

The Denver Republican of the 18th
inst. says: Special orders on road and
bridge bills will probably be fixed early
next week. Chairman Dowd of the
road and bridge committee had full
membership in attendance on the meet
ing held last night, at which much of
the work was cleaned up. He hopes
to report all bills to the House by Mon
day morning, after which the five
chairmen" combination will be ready
to have them made a special order for
consideration some night during the
week. There is therefore the prospect
of at least two night sessions of the
House within the next seven days.

Piecinq Out the Prayer.

OF curious prayers a writer says: 81
have heard Il layman utter this petition
during the prayer: %, 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 SEN
tence into his prayer and forthwith
proceeded to translate it. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prater
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies quar-
ter of an hour, but long before this Pc
riod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while in this d.
lemma, he startled his hearers with the
words: And now o Lord, | will re-
late unto thee little anecdote!

acquisitions Must Be Correct.

Governor Shafroth insists that
requisition papers coming to him must
be made out in legal form, according
TO the requirements laid down by a
conference of governors. He refused
to sign a requisition from the execu-
tive of Arkansas for the return of C.
A. Evans. accused of grand larceny,
forgery and embezzlement. First and
foremost, rubber stamp had been
used in place of the governors pen
and ink signature. No particulars re-

We realize, o Lord, that the Demo

Chairman Helbig of the House cleo

all in the contest cases from Las Ami

House the benefit of what it has
learned concerning the irregularities
of the election in Las Animas county

LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
yigor.
The man who worked hard was sup.
posed to require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is now common thing for fam
lily physician to order less meat, as in
the following letter from N. Y. man.
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me TO eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. l tried several
things to take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc.,
but got no relief until 1 tried Grape
Nuts food.
After using Grape-N Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
/ am now a well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth of medicine l had taken
before.
MY wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are very happy family, largely due to
Grape-Nuts.
I'VE have been so much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that it would be un.
grateful not to acknowledge it."

New County Bills Killed.

The House on the 18th inst. killed
bills that provided for the creation of
five new counties. The counties
killed were:
Bryan county out of Adams, Arapa-
hoe and Ebert counties.
Holt county out of Ebert and Ell
Paso counties.
La Veta county out of Huerfano and
Costilla counties.
Alamosa county out of Conejos and
Costilla counties
Boone county out of Ebert, Ell Paso
and Douglas counties.
; The sharpest contests were over the
Huerfano county division to create
the county of La Veta and over the
division of Conejos and Costilla coun-
ties to create the county of Alamosa.

Some Resemblance,

A little girl in a California public
school complained to her teacher that
Mexican boy had struck her. The
teacher took Joe, the only Mexican
boy in the school, sharply to task for
the offense, but the boy denied it.
Mary" said the teacher, Joe says
he didn't strike you"
"Oh, no." said Mary, "'twan't Joe;
twuz that tother boy over there" and
she pointed to the blacklist of negro
boys in the school,
But, Mary, that boy isn't a Mexi,

WHAT COLORADO LAWMAKERS
ARE DOING AT DENVER
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 were
elected or else to resign their seats.
] The message follows:
March %, 1909
ITO the Members of the Seventeenth
General Assembly:
conference.-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
eminent. 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
eminent. If 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 a
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
To, II, IL, hot
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
eminent. have tried by arguing, coax
ing and begging to induce most of
| these Iecalcitrant members to pass
these measures. For the passage and
presentation for my signature of even
| one of them | 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 a 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. l wish to
warn you that if these party pledges,
these contracts of honor, are not sub
stantially complied with. l expect to
call an extra session of the General
Assembly and l shall expect the PEG.
pie of this state to hold these oppos
ing and evading members responsible
therefor Respectfully submitted,
