simple manhood of their lives and their
patient suffering" "and in the dark
hours OF Imprisonment, in the hope
lessness OF the hospital, in the short
sharp agony OF the field, found hope
in :ao belief that at home they would
not be forgotten"

to propose shooting full grown river
through mountain. Enormous diff
culties have been met and conquered
in making that subterranean channel
for the river since the beginning of
the work, four years ago.
1t was comparatively easy to work
at the west side of the tunnel. The
slope of the mountain towards the
Uncompahgre valley is gentle, but on
the Gunnison side IL was necessary to
build a wagon road leading into the
frightful canyon, where the work at
the east portal was started. This
road is 16 miles long, and in some
places rises 30 feet in every 100 feet.
Down this road heavy machinery was
hauled, and the materials for build
ing a town of workers at the portal
Tremendous flows of water encoun
tered in digging the tunnel added 10
the difficulties. The water going down
grade with the slope of the tunnel had
to be pumped out at the rate of 100000
gallons a day. Subterranean lakes we're
tapped. and when the drills penetrated
the water a stream 40 feet in length
would shoot out through the hole
knocking the men away from the air
drills, and even knocking the muck
ers" off the tram cars. Hot water was
encountered at times, raising the tenn
perature of the tunnel to such an ex-
tent that the miners were compelled to
work almost naked. At one time a
heavy flow of carbon dioxide, or choke
damp, caused the workers 10 run for
their lives, many narrowly escaping
asphyxiation.
But the fluctuations of the mountain
borers are over. Only a few rods OF
shale and rock remain TO be blasted
by the tireless force of miners, work.

LESSON IN NATURAL HISTORY
Amusing, But Somewhat Expensive
as Miss Patty Realized When
the Goat Was Through.

Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir-
teenth street went to the country with
a party of friends on Memorial day.
They stopped at farmhouse where
some of the party are well known.
Browsing about was an old goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at few blades
of grass, and she innocently thought
that goats were strictly vegetarians.
On the lawn In front of the porch she
had put her handsome new peach
basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar
tiicial roses, which she had got from
the store the night before. The goat
saw the hat and advanced joyfully to-
ward It. Miss Patty laughed. The
old thing thinks they're real roses, "
she laughed. Wont she be fooled
when she smells them?"
Everybody sat still to watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
The next week Miss Patty bought
another hat.-Philadelphia Times.

to the top in the short space of seven
years. He started out in life as a
lawyer in small country town and
when he went to Paris turned to
journalism rather than law. becoming
in course of time editor of La Lam

pers of the capital.
Aristide BRAND is AZ years of age.
He has risen very rapidly from the
ranks of politicians to foremost
place in the government. A few
years ago he was hardly known, ex-
cept among the members of his own
party, the revolutionary Socialists.
He was appointed reporter of the
church and state separation bill and
soon became recognized as high au-
thority on the subject. He aimed to
draw up bill broadly liberal in spir-
1t. but devoid of fanaticism and de.
signed to assure freedom of worship
and of conscience. The result was
his elevation to the post OF minister
of public instruction and worship In
1906. During the church and state
troubles he appears to have acted
with firmness and moderation and
after the death Of NJ. Guyot-Des
saigne, December 81. 1907. he was
