PleoIna out the Prayer.

OF curious prayers a writer says: Il
have heard layman utter this petition
during the prayer: %, Lord, be thou
with us in our upsittings an our down
risings Ia variant of the. text in tie
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 dificulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies a quar-
ter of an hour. but long before this pc
riod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while In this di-
JENNA, he startled his hearers with the
words: And now, o Lord, l will re-

JUDGE RIDDLE AT DENVER SEES
CONSPIRACY TO WRECK
RAILROAD COMPANY.
PRIME MOVER HIDDEN
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION DIRECT.
ED AGAINST ALL ENEMIES
OF THE ROAD.

Denver.-Judge Harry C. Riddle in
the district court Saturday granted the
temporary injunction prayed for by
the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern
railroad and the Northwestern Land &
Iron company against Neels Olsen and
others. holding that the evidence
showed that conspiracy had been
formed to put the road and its sub
sidiary companies in the hands of the
receiver and wreck them.
The decision came at ! O'Clock.
Judge Riddle declaring that he had
heard all the evidence necessary to de-
termine the question. When asked
that the case be given an early trial
by Attorney Harvey Riddell he said
that he had no doubt that the hearing
for a permanent injunction could be
had this term of court. There is no
appeal from temporary injunction so
that the next step will be the perma-
nent hearing.
In the course of his remarks Judge
Riddle placed the blame not entirely
on the defendants named in the suit.
He gave credence to the rumors that
the real defendant was not in court.
That is the defendants who put up the
money to carry on the fight against
the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern.
He did say that the proof of an at
tempt to plunder the road was con-
elusive, but said that the defendants
named Olsen, Captain Davenny, T. H.
Tillotson. F. e. Bryans and o. E. Hun
gate, had no reason for making the at
tempt as far as disclosed by the pro-
ceednSs There must have been some
other course from which the large
sums of money came to prosecute the
case against the road, he said. All
this is in direct conformity with the
tales that jealousy and rivalry of the
road led to the campaign against it.
Judge Riddle completely eXonerated
Attorney A. M. Stevenson, saying that
he never at any time believed him to
be one of the conspirators and that it
gave MIN pleasure to say so. Judge
Riddle not only restrained the defend
ants named from interfering with the
road in any way, applying for the re-
ceivership and molesting it, but held
the injunction in such a manner that
any other persons who may attempt to
interfere with 1t will be promptly
placed under the same order of court.

Eighteenth Century Women Seem to

In an English novel OF the eigh-
teenth century the author thus refers
to certain woman: She had reached
the age of 35, an age beyond which no
woman can hope either to feel or in
spire deep affection In one of
George Meredith's early novels he re-
fers to character as a woman "on
the criminal side of 80" A Boston
woman in the last century after reach
ing the age Of 30, put on, over her
abundant natural hair, a false front
and cap. These were the outward
and visible signs Of the matronly ma
turity she had reached. She gave up
at the same time all the gayer forms
of social intercourse. She confined
herself thereafter to the mild and
elderly variety. She had come out"
into Boston society at Is. After two
years of social gayeties she had mar
ried. At 80 she was the mother of
eight children. She had lived the ac.
tive part of her life. In accordance
with the conventions of her time she
settled down to life of vegetating
domesticity. She was not an excep.

Giles Vernon, although the most
wasteful and profuse man l ever saw,
desired to spend his money in London,
Portsmouth being too small theater
for him. But the pressing affair of the
satisfaction he owned Capt. Overton
had to be settled. After much hard
thinking, Giles came to me on the day
after we reached Portsmouth, and
said:

l pointed out to Giles that, although
the tone of the letter was quite cor
rect, the writing and spelling were
scarce up to the Standard was more
bookish than Giles. But he replied
with some heat:

thought of saving than Giles. We
took chaise and four to London
no stage-coach for us!-and reached
there in a day. We had planned to
take the finest rooms at Mivart's hotel,
but fate and Lady Hawkshaw pre-
vented me from enjoying them except
for the first night of our arrival Next
morning on presenting myself at the
admiralty to ask for letters-never
dreaming I should have any re-
ceived one from Sir Peter Hawkshaw,
which read:
Grand -Nephew.-My Lady Hawkshaw

your money with you to our house in

''P. HAWKSHAW. C. B."
Great was my distress when l got
this letter, as ! foresaw there would
not be much chance under Lady
Hawkshaw's eagle eye of seeing the
kind Of life I wished to see. And l
was obliged to go, for Sir Peter was
the only person on earth likely to in
terest himself at the admiralty for
me; and | might stay and wither on
Shore while others more fortunate got
ships, If l antagonized him. And when
Lady Hawkshaw commanded there
was but one thing to do, and that was
to obey.
So, with heavy heart, l took my
self and my portmanteau and, in a
canvas bag. my 1000 guineas to the
admirals great fine house in Berkeley
Square. My parting with Giles was
melancholy enough; for, with the
womanish Jealousy of boy, l was un-
happy to think he would be enjoying
himself with some one else, while
was suffering the hardship of having
my money taken care Of for me.
Giles had no more forgotten the
Lady Arabella than I had, and, on
reading this note, exclaimed:
''Zounds! l wish Peter and Polly
had sent for me to stay in Berkeley
Square, with that divine creature un-
der the same roof. Do you think,
Dicky, we could exchange identities,
so to speak?" But on my reminding
him that Lady Hawkshaw had de-
manded my prize-money. and would
certainly get 1t, his ardor to stand in
my Shoes somevhat abated.

blue The phantom mist had gone with the
shadows From her bedroom window She could
see the whole length Of the Ober Engadine, till
the view was abruptly shut off by the giant
shoulders Of Lagrev and Rosatch The bnI-

astounding feature The lakes were planes OF
polished turquoise. the rocks pure grays and

while the shining white patches of snow on the
highest mountain slopes helped t. blacken by
contrast the somber clumps OF pines that gath
cred thick wherever man had not disputed
with the trees the tenancy OF each foot OF
