MODEST VICTOR HUGO.
The Great Master Thought No Honor
Too Great For Himself

Too Great For Himself.
1t was Theophile Gautier who said
something to the effect that if he
thought that one line of the great mas
ter, Victor Hugo. was bad he would
not acknowledge it to himself if he
were alone at the bottom of a dark
well. On another occasion Gautier
spoke OF Victor Hugo as "a new Moses
fresh from Sinai. charged to deliver
the tablets of the law" Decidedly,
Victor Hugo was man who knew
how to cast spell upon those about
him. For example, look at the follow
ing picture drawn in the Souvenir sur
Turgenieff:''
Zone evening Hugo's admirers as
sembIed in his drawing room. were
competing with one another in the
eulogy Of his genius. and the idea was
thrown out. that the street in which
he lived ought to bear his name. Some
one suggested that the street was too
small to be worthy of so great Il poet,
and the honor of bearing his name
ought to be assigned to some more i'm
portant thorOughfare. Then they pro-
ceeded to enumerate the most popular
quarters Of Paris. in an ascending
scale. until one man exclaimed with
enthusiasm that it would be an honor
for the city Of Paris itself to be re-
ramed after the man of genius Hugo,
leaning against the mantelpiece, listen
ed complacently to these fiatterers out
bidding each other. Then, with an air
of one engaged in deep thought. he
turned to young man and said to
him in his grand style, Even that will
come, nay friends-even that win

to the richest agricultural region in
northern Colorado. Thousands OF
acres of valuable lands, including
those owned by the Denver-Greeley
Valley Irrigation company, will he
opened up by this move.
The recent development Of the
kersey country has had much to do
with bringing In the new road. The
Denver-Greeley Valley Irrigation
company alone Is making prepare

the Union Pacific has made all these

that territory. For example. the
wheat that will be raised near Ker-
sey this summer is an important
item. The Denver-Greeley Valley
