METHODIST REVIVAL
CLOSED SUNDAY
Great and Glorious Old Fashion
Religion Manifested All
Through the Meeting Rev.
Pat Davis A Winner.
HAD LARGE CONGREGATIONS.

Rev. Pat Davis left Monday morning
after winning dinners, suppers, dollars,
and love from the Coverport Peep e.
One of the best revivals the Methodist
church has ever had closed Sunday
night after two weeks OF splendid
services every afternoon and evening
Several persons we're converted and
united with the Methodist church, and
others are to join the Baptist church.
The revival seemed to warm up the
church members of all denominations;
many renewed their faith and pledged
themselves again to take stronger
hold on Christianity.
The congregations were wonderfully
large, attention was excellent and the
preaching was sincere and interesting.
Taking the meeting all in all, SIT was
great, fne, splendid!," as Bro. Davis
said again and again.
NOTES
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Dillon were very
much gratified over the corporation
given them by the members of other
churches as well as the Methodist flock.
At the close of the meeting Sunday
night Bro. Dillon and Bro. Davis
thanked the people for their hospitality,
the men for their services, the choir
for their singing and the women for
their hot biscuits and warm hearts.
Bro. Davis and Bro. Dillon both said
they fully intended thanking The
Breckenridge News for the advertising
given them, but they forgot it.
Nearly a hundred dollars was given
Bro. Davis through the envelope
system, which was very dignifed
method of getting money. Everybody
liked it and nearly everybody in town
helped to make up the amount with
hundreds of good wishes thrown in for
Bro Davis.
Saturday afternoon Bro. Davis had
Brabandt to take picture of "The
childrens choir" which is to appear
soon in the Central Methodist.

Bro. Davis went from here to Green
vile and will be in Hawesville by
March 81.
Little Misses Ruby Haynes and
Elizabeth Norman Hook, kinder
garten pupils Of Miss Elizabeth May,
sang sweetly duet, Little Feet Be
Careful" at the Sunday night services.
They are dear little girls, never miss
a Sunday at Sunday School and always
come to church with their parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Hook.
Bro. Davis, it is said, prayed that if
it were right for him to have it, he
wanted S1O7 from Cloverport for
certain cause. He received $113 made
up of pennies, nickles, dimes and
dollars.
The ministers were entertained by
the following after Wednesday,; Mrs.
II. V. Duncan, Mrs. j. q. Nolte, Mrs.

Day buys Johnson Ranch

r. A. Day has purchased the
ranch of Enoch P. johnson which
joins his property On the west.
The land is quite valuable, tho we
do not know the price paid. Mr.
johnson owns an interest in the
large Encampment- Plat Valley
ditch and has improved his ranch
until it is now a considerable
source of revenue. There are
about LOO acres seeded to alfalfa
and a number of acres have been
planted to grain. Mr.. Day has
not only secured a valuable piece
of property but has added much
land to the large number of acres
he owned before making this
purchase.

New Coal Warehouse

II. P. Mcmahon has completed
his new coal warehouse in the s.
d E. Ry. yards and is ready to
meet the demands of the people
of Saratoga for fuel. Those who
have had business dealings with
Mr.. Mcmahon know that he is
prompt, honest and faithful. If
you entrust him with your orders
there ie no question but what he
will serve you to the best of his
ability. He only asks ashars of
the large patronage of the town
and feels that he should have an
equal show in that business.

will Move to ~Encampment

1t is reported that the head
quarters of the s. q j.. Ry. will
be moved to Encampment at an
earley date. They will probably
occupy the Offices used by the
smelter. The company claims
that it will have some advantages
by the movement that it could
not have at this place, while it
will be deprived of some advan-
tages it now enjoys here.
We regret to see the Of
fees moved away from here, as
they have been here ever since
the road was built. 1t will de-
prive us not only of Mr.. Austin,
the new superintendent, but also
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Anderson
and their children, who are este
enled members of Saratoga socie-
ty and the children rank high in
standing in the public school.

MONEY FOR
SCHOOL FUND
Wyoming will get S34.704.54
from Her Forest Reserves
This Year

Washington, Nov. 24-For the
fiscal year ended June 30 last, the
U. s. Department of Agriculture
announces, the % per cent of Ma
tional Forest revenue which will
go to the States for road and
school purposes amount to $780,
1882. This was $67,402O3 more
than last year, or an increase of a
little over Is per cent. The pay
ments are an offset to the loss of
income from taxable property
sustained through Withdrawals of
the income from entry under the
public land laws.
The amounts which will go to
the various States are as follows;
Arizona, 51,220.3S; Arkansas, 2,90.
4,44; California. 60,751.91; Colo
rsdo, 5O,306. 10; Florada, 7O6.38;
Idaho, 66,074.55; Kansas, 1,004,67
Minnesota, 457.s IS; Montana, 3d.
67S.3S; Nebraska, 2,S20.25; Neva-
da, 16,314.33; New Mexico, q 1929.
So; North Dakota. 1854; Oklnho-
ma, 626.10: Oregon, 39,635.S7; So.
Dakota, 9,SOS SO; Utah, 32,9O5. 40;
Washington, 1881. 80; Wyoming,
"a, 704.54
Noteworthy is the especially
heavy increase over the amounts
last year in certain states. In
California the amount rose by
% per cent, in Idaho by over 30
per cent and in Oregon by nearly
so per cent. The increases are
the result of increased activity in
National Forest timber sales in
these states and are an earnest of
what will happen as the timber
supply which the Government is
caring for comes into full demand.
Since the cut of timber will al
ways be limited to what the For
ests will keep on growing, the In
come to the states will be peiman-
ent, not transitory, as would have
been the case if hasty and impro-
vident exploitation had been per-
mitted. According to calculations
of the Department Of Agriculture
officials the states will eventually
receive many times what the For
ests are now yielding them, for
there is as yet on the whole only
a very restricted demand for the
Governments timber.

New Heating Plant

The Sun office has a new heat
ing plant that is giving entire sat-
isfaction. The enterprising firm
of Hunter a. Laughlin did the
work necessary for it's installation
1t is a hot air furnace and will
come in very handy, not only for
heating the building, but when we
are short of news we can initiate
the paper without extra cost
There is a great deaf of hot all
used here in this town that does
not originate from a hot air firm
ace. Some of it comes from a soul
stomach.

Judge Carey's Platform.

Judge Carey has set forth a
platform of principles by which
he proposes to be guided during
Shis term as governor, which are as
follows.
81 am deeply grateful to the peo-
pie of Wyoming for the trust they
bestowed upon me-. l do not con-
slider it a personal triumph, but
"a triumph for the principles advo-
Gated by my associates and myself.
am a republican and as such was
nominated by the democrats of
the slate. We we're all working
toward the same end.
"A clean economical government
lis desired, and 1 shall use every
effort in my power to see that such
an administration is forthcoming
The people of Wyoming are deep
ly moved by the necessity of that
character of legislation which is
being urged by the progressive
republicans aud progressive dem
ocrats all over the United States.
For instance a direct primary law,
with a right to designate a prefer
ance as far as U. s. senators
are concerned; a headless Austria
ian ballot which will encourage
independent voting, and such leg
lslation against corrupt practices
as will insure as pure elections as
possible under our system of good
government. Also essential COM
mission system or the entire elm
lnation of politics from city and
town government; the placing of
our educational, charitable and
penal institutions beyond partisan
control and opportunities for per
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; the des-
struction of the machine govern
ment which has dominated the
state of wyoming and added TO
the state expences enormously;
the elimination of double taxa
ton; equally in taxation between
counties rs well as individuals.
The people Of the states were
responsive. No money was used
to corrupt them by my associates
or my self; nor was the stuffing
oil ballot boxes or the use of illeg-
al votes influence the decision re-
sorted to.
Whether the fight will contin-
Ute III another campaign will de-
pend upon the action taken as to
The advance Legislation referred to,
and as to whether such laws find
a place upon our statute books at
the coming session of the legisla-
ture."

Wouldn't 1t Make You Mad7

with apologies to Walt Mason)
A story of one Thanksgiving bird.
If you had petted and fondled,
and nursed a bird; wouldn't it
make you mad! If you had fed
and carressed and stood on night
herd; wouldn't it make you mad!
If you had kept him a week on
high priced feed, and bought him
a nightie, a cap and some slumber
seed, wouldn't it make you mad!
If you fell asleep at the post one
day and somebody stole the bird
away, Say! wouldn't it make you
mad. Aud he came back in the
nick of time to grace the board
and feed the sad, Say wouldn't
that make you glad!

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF TREES
All Cities Awake to a Realization of the Beauty and Worth of
 Foliage.

No city, state or nation ever lost prestige on account of having too many trees, yet many once prosperous countries have become barren. unin. habited wastes through the removal of all the trees. Cities now maintain a constant rivalry as to which one is best entitled to the name of "The For est City, for trees, especially street trees, are of equal value with parks in municipal assets. It is the firm be- lief of the writer that if city or town is to have either every street fully planted and no parks or plenty of parks with not a street tree, the for mer condition is preferable as ten dol lars is to one.
 Abundance of street trees in a land is closely akin of forests and the high est state of civilization is found where forests abound and in those countries street planting has also reached its highest plane. Germany is the lead ing country in scientific forestry and so well have they learned the value of trees that the nation is likewise well and favorably known for it's intelli- gent use of trees in planting streets and highways. Those nations are de cadent that do not reforestate their denuded lands and in such countries no street trees are found. In coun- try noted for it's unusual amount of sunshine, as is ours. trees along all lines of travel are much more neces- sary than in those having a consider able natural supply. There is no place in the world where trees have a greater value or more enhance the beauty of the land than in southern California

WOMAN AND TRUE H&PPlNES 5
Love and Children and Little 9eppb He of the Home Depend on Fa-
 Vor of Man.

Apart from the crude economic question the things that most wom- en mean when they speak of hap piness," that is, love and children and the little republic of the home, depend upon the favor of men, and the qualities that win this favor are not in general those that are most useful for other purposes. A girl should not be too intelligent or too good or too highly differentiated in any direction. Like a ready-made garment she should be designed to fit the average man. She should have ''iust about as much religion as my William likes" The age-long operation of this rule, by which the least strongly individualized women are the most likely to have a chance to transmit their qualities, has given 1t the air of natural law. Though the lady has generally yielded it un- questioning obedience, she often dreams of a land like that of the Amazons, where she might be judged on her merits instead of on her charms. Seeing that in the world a woman's social position, her daily food, her chance of children. depend on her exerting sufficient charm to induce some man to assume the re- sponsibility and expense of main- taining her for life, and that the qualities on which this charm de. bends are sometimes altogether un- attainable by a given woman, it is not surprising that exceptional wom- en are willing to eliminate from their lives the whole question of marriage and motherhood, for the sake of free development, irrespec- tive of its bearing on the other sex.-Atlantic.

WHY SMALL BOY WAS HAPPY

As the ruddy glow increased beyond the brow of the hill the small boy on the bridge clapped his hands vigor- ously
 ~Ah, my lad" said the stranger. who was somewhat near-sighted, "it does me good to see you appreciate yon beautiful red sky"
 "Yes, sir" responded the lad. with his eyes glued on the distant glow. I've been watching it for fifteen min utes."
 Well, well! It isn't often one has the opportunity of witnessing such a grand spectacle"
 Couldn't be grander to me, sir"
 "A real poet, without a doubt And do you watch sunsets often. my little man?"
 Sunsets? Why, that isn't a sum- seti"
 Not a sunset? Then what is it?"
 Why, that's the village school burning down."

MADE A THING OF BEAUTY
In Recent Years the UnsightIy Rear Door Has Been Completely
 Transformed.

With the abolishment of the alley few years ago, there has come a great change in the character of the service and of the noise
 In large cities. where the houses are of necessity set close to the street, the alley was the simplest SO lution to the problem of the ash and garbage man, but as more of us move into the suburbs where the yards are large and gardens are the hobbies of the owners of the home, we come to live more in the open and have be- come averse to the sight of laundry Tapping in the breeze or mops and brOOms hanging by the side of the door and the garbage and rubbish cans a constant eyesore. In many localities, the Los Angeles Herald says, the fences have gone entirely and the back yards are made into a veritable park where the lawn Is continuous, ones individuality being expressed only in the flowers planted and these must conform to a cert" in Il.
 By many, however, this is consid- cred undesirable, as there Is, of course, very little privacy procurable and fences are converted into things of beauty covered with vines In this way you have a splendid background prepared for any flowers you desire to plant
 In either case the back porch, so long theme of reproach, must be metamorphosed into pleasant place. In many of the newer houses the back entrance has become the side door and is screened from the view of passers on the street by a lattice fence cunningly covered with climbing roses, wistaria or some other vines. If an artistic gate is built close to the door many steps are saved and the whole adds to the apparent breadth of the house This leaves the back yard free for per exquisite view from living room or dining room windows.
 By partitioning off a portion of the back porch to be used exclusive ly for the garbage can and rubbish box, these unsightly objects are hid den from view and one of the hard est problems is conquered. If the 5urbusv cen Is e4eantied -eftaH- and carefully cleaned with strong, hot suds or lye, there can be nothing re- pulsive about such a compartment

ONE ON PALLAs.

Mayor Busse of Chicago told at a lawyers dinner a lawyers story
 "Pallas Phelps," he said, 'was a well-known character of the Chicago of the '4Os. Pallas was a nondescript sort of lawyer He got on somehow Occasionally he pleaded and won a case. But he never had an office His lack of an office was one of the standing jokes of the Chicago bar.
 "There were no paved streets in the Chicago of those days, and one morning, after a rainfall, when the roads were unusually filthy, Judge Butterfeld and Phelps met at crossing.
 "'Good morning, Pallas,' said the judge, as he tiptoed through the black mud. You haven't swept your office this morning ?"

MOTORCYCLES IN GERMANY.

In this years German army maneuyers the sight will be wit messed of motor tricycles speeding about the battlefield. Hitherto it has been found that much time was lost in rendering medical assistance to the wounded. To prevent such de- lay during the coming maneuvers field surgeons will be mounted upm specially constructed motor tricycles made on the lines of those now used by tradesmen, in which will be car ried all the necessary material for 'irst aid.
 In the past wounded man had 10 be carried on T stretcher to the nearest lazarette before help could he rendered. In future should he find it impossible to treat the case on the spot, the surgeon can himself onvey the man to the lazarette on his motor tricycle.. The machine will be built so that it can go over heavy ground, and it will, owing to fs speed, save many hours of weary vaiting to the wounded.

Our Increasing "white Ways" l"

Modern cities flare against the night sky. This is one of their dis tinguishments, marking their progress from mediaeval towns. At the begin ming of the seventeenth century noe turnal London was in darkness, only relieved here and there by lamps set by some householder above their doors, and by torches of a few link boys. But London was as well light ed at that time as any city in the world, or we never should have heard of the London boom, or of present fig ures of London's population, making the bitter drop in New York's over flowing cup of joy. London boomed while it's streets were dark, for the very good reason that they were no darker than the streets of any of Lon don's rivals. It boomed later. and more. as the records attest. because it was first among the cities introduc- ing crude lighting systems.
