MAY MEND HIS WAYS.
Rocky Ford Man Disciplined by Wife
and Son.

Under scare headlines last Sundays
Pueblo Chicftain contained the fol-
lowing story, which the Enterprise
rcproduces without comment:
a husband caught with another
woman it is alleged by his angercd
wife and son. securely tied with n
strong rope and loaded into an auto
mobile and then brought to Pueblo.
is the thread OF little dramatic at
fair that stirred the quiet summer re-
sort OF Beulah last evening as the
breathing spot has not been awaken
cd in months. After the curtain on
the exciting elimination to married
mans cscapade had rung down as the
principals disappeared through the
canon on their way to this city. the
happening was the chief topic OF con-
vcrsation during the dreamy waltzcs
and through the intcrmissions at the
Saturday evening hop at the pretty
resort.
The man was James Cullison. of
Rocky Ford. constable, and well
known in the little town, The name
of the woman was not learned and
the other principals were his deter
mined wife and husky son. George.
According to the story OF the affair.
Cullison and two women went to Bcu-
lah not long ago for an outing and it
is alleged Cullison neglected to ex-
plain the details of his prospective
vacation to Mrs. Cullison. But the
wife learned from other soures that
all was not what she had been given
to believe and Friday she came to Pu-
cblo, where she was joined by her son
George. and the two performed some
detective work that is said to outclass
anything the constable husband ever
thought of. At any rate Mrs. Culli-
son learned that her spouse and an
other man were enjoying themselves
at Bculah with two women.
Hiring an automobile Mrs. Cullison
and her son went to Bculah ycster-
day afternoon and after some more
quiet sleuthing they located the faith
cr and husband. 1t is said that there
might have been mixup but for the
agility and strength of the son. who
is said to have overpowercd his faith
or, and while he held the captive pris-
oncr. Mrs. Cullison brought forth a
rope and with it she tied and bound
her husband as cowboy would hob
bic a two-year old hcifcr. Then, .ac-
cording to the story. Cullison was car
ried out and tossed into the tonncau
of the machine.
The party then hurried back to Pu-
eblo as fast as driver Tom Sullivan
would persuade the machine to travel
and the family returned to Rocky
Ford on a late train last night. Gull
lison was released from the ropes that
bound him before Pueblo was reach
cd and the three gave no evidences OF
the recent hostilitics as they appeared
on the streets last evening and at
tended one OF the local theatres to-
gether.
Cullison is well known in Otero
county and has been a merchant at
Rocky Ford for number OF years.
1t is said that heretofore his domestic
affairs never have bubblcd up to such
a height and his friends are surprised

Pull together, brethren. We are
all here for the same purpose. Then
live and let live. The best way to
build up a town is for each and
every man to pull together and not
strive to reno and tear down. All
the residents of q town are part
ners, not opponents. In all likeli-
hood the more business done by
your rival the more you will do.
Every merchant who treats his
customers honestly and fairly will
get his share and the more business
that can be secured by united eff
fort, the better it will be for ALL

An exchange says The farmer.
if he only knew it, is a little nearer
the kingdom of heaven than any
one on earth. He is certain of
three square meals a day and is
the only man who can fence him
self in and live in spite of the rest
of mankind. A few cattle and
sheep and fowls provide him with
God and clothing, while the fields
yield him his -four and source of
revenue. So generous are these pro-
visions, so common that hardly one
farmer in ten makes any account
of it although the ordinary business
man thinks he has done well, if,
when he reaches the end of the
year finds he has a little more than
made ends meet.

Sumner and the Bible.

In Goodwin Smiths "reminiscences
in the September McClure's he tells
an amusing story of Grant and
Sumner:
"Pitchforked into the Presidency
by the passion of the Americans
for military glory, Grant, being to-
tally without political experience,
of course failed. The only political
quality which he had was resolu-
ton, which he once at least oppOs-
ed, under good advice to dishonest
and mischievous legislation. He had
a fatal notion that supporting pub
lie delinquents of his own party
was standing by comrades under
fire. Between this rough soldier
and such a man as Charles Sum-
ner, with his housekeeping culture
and lofty self-esteem, antipathy was
sure to be strong. Some one, to
please Grant, was decrying Sumner
to HIM, saying that Sumner was a
Free thinker and did not even be-
ieve in the Bible. Well said
Grant, I suppose he didn't write it.
Wellington, between whom and
and Grant there was so resemblance
also once in his life said a good
thing. When he appeared at thu
court of the Restoration the Mar
shals of Empire turned their backs
on him. The King apologized tt
him for their rudeness. N'importe
Sire, c'est leur habitude,' was Wei
lington's reply.

The Fellow That's Doing His Best.
There's a song for the man who is
lucky and bold,
For the man who has fate on his
side;
There are cheers foI the folk that
are jineling the gold
And are drifting along with the
tide.
But the man who is striving to get
to the land
And facing the hungry waves
crest
We quite overlook, for we don't I'M
derstand
The fellow that's doing his best
But he has his reward when the
story is done,
Though we smile as he plods on
MS way,
For his own self-esteem is the prize
he has won,
AS Obscurely he's stood in the
fray,
And he knows the affection of home
and of friends
And the pleasures of honest-earn-
ed rest;
There are peace ard good will, as
the twilight descends,
For the fellow that's doing his
best.

Mesdames B., Wood and w. H.
Moss went to Quincy Monday to
consult physicians regarding Mrs.
Moss. They decided on an opera
ton for appendicitis and set the
time for 1890 a. m. yesterday as
the time for the operation. Her
many friends here hope for a speedy
recovery to health. Her husband
was operated on for appendicitis a
few days ago and is now able to be

The estimated cost of Water

The Little Lamb.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one day, where lambs should never
90. And Mary sat her quickly
down, and the tears streamed from
her eyes; she never found the lamb
because she did not advertise. And
Mary had a brother John, who kept
a village store; he sat him down
and smoked a pipe, and watched
the open door And as people pass
ed along and did not stop to buy
John still sat and smoked his pipe
and blinked his sleepy eye. And so
the sheriff closed him out but still
he fingered near, and Mary came
to drop with him, a sympathetic
tear How is il, sister, can you tell,

ali their goods 50 readily and thrive

The farmer who owns a farm is
the particular person who is fixed.
Banks may fail and factories close,
workman strike, mines suspend,
merchants fail and towns burn,
times may be panicky and even
crops may be short-but the farmer
who owns his acres will get along
He will live in comfort and quiet,
with plenty to eat, drink and wear.
He is the most independent man on
earth. Yet there are lots of them
who do not appreciate their situa-
tion.-Columbia Statesman.

About as good a way to study
human nature is when you are
driving on the public road. If a
man is willing to observe the laws
and courtesies of the road, he will
duly give his share of it when
meeting another, and shows he is
willing to do the gentlemanly thing
about it. But when you meet one
who takes every advantage of those
he meets, and holds the road for
his own selfish self, often to the
great discomfort of those he meets
or will not allow them to pass. we
are almost sure to think of pork in
connection with such drivers OF
teams.-Stundard.

worthless vicious dogs should be
