William Watson's Escapade Recalls
Peculiar Actions of Other Bril-
liant Minds.

William Watson's alleged vagaries
recall stories of William Blake, the
contemporary of Charles Lamb. Blake
dined with prophets and held con-
verse with archangels. A friend OF
Blake called on the poet-painter "and
found him sitting, pencil in hand, and

visitor. Where is he? l see no one.'
But I see him.. answered Blake,
haughtily. There he is his name

Scriptures. He is sitting for his por.

Blake's hallucinations, however,
rarely took malignant form. One Of
his most beautiful visions was of a
fairy funeral. II was walking alone in
my garden" he said. There was a
great stiffness among the branches
and flowers, and more than common
sweetness in the air. l heard low

"At last l saw the broad leaf of q

then disappeared. 1t was fairy's

A Strange "cod Tree"

What is god tree? Nobody knows
or had ever heard of such thing un-
til. not long ago, an chronological ex-
plorer came across quite lot of them
on certain little known islands along
the west coast of Sumatra.
The god tree is carved out OF wood,
with curiously fashioned branches of
the same material. On these branches
are hung strings Of bright colored bits
Of cloth and tiny baskets filled with
grains of rice The whole affair is
not more than three feet high.
According to the belief of the ma
tives Of the islands aforesaid, god
lives in the tree. He is not partic.
ularly good sort of divinity and, II. he
takes notion to leave the tree he is
liable to do folks mischief. The
best way to persuade him to stay at
home in the tree is to make the latter
attractive by adorning it in the man.
ner described and by supplying rice
in baskets for the god to eat.
The god is household god and the
tree which he inr shits is kept in a
corner of the family dwelling.

DEATH TRAP FOR ANIMALS
rar-swamp In California Estimated by
Scientists to Be Of lneaI-
cuiable AGE.

Near the city of Los Angeles there
exists a tar-swamp in which animals
and birds have been mired and
trapped since the dawn of the quater-
nary epoch, says John c. Merriam.
writing in Harper's Weekly. But 1t
was not until recently that the bones
found therein were discovered to be
remnants of prehistoric animals, in
GLIDING the extinct great wolf, Ameri-
can lion. saber-tooth tiger, camel, ele-
phant, etc. "The relatively great mum.
ber of carnivorous animals" he
writes, (which is the most striking
feature of the Rancho-La Brea fauna,
is undoubtedly to be accounted for in
large part through the Turing of
carnivores into the asphalt by any
creatures which may have been en-
trapped in the tar. Such living bait,
by its struggles and cries, would un-
doubtedly attract cats or wolves and
not improbably several carnivores
might be led into the asphalt by the
same bird. bison or colt. 1t is easy
to imagine an animal caught In the
black ooze surrounded by a group of
tar-besmeared wolves, each trying to
make meal Of the unfortunate crea-
ture that drew him in, at the same
time fighting with the others and at
tempting to extricate himself from the
tar"

Simplicity

Be simple. unaffected; be honest
in your speaking and writing. Never
use a long word where a short one
will do as well.
Call spade by it's name, not a
well known instrument of manual
labor. Let a home be a home and
not a residence; a place. not a 10
cality. and SO on of the rest.
When a short word will do, you
always lose by a long one. You lose
in clearness. you lose in honest ex-
pressio n of meaning. and in the
estimation of all men who are cap
able of judging you lose in reputatio
for ability.
The only true way to shine in
this false world Is to be modest
and unassuming. Falsehood may
be thick crust. but in the course
of time truth will find a place to
break through. Elegance of Ian
guage may not be in the power of
us all. but simplicity and straight
are.-William Cullen

Though out of his district, the
Independent cannot resist a desire
to congratulate the Republicans of
Seventh Judicial District in select
ing Charles A. Wilkin of Park coun-
ty as their candidate for Judge.
Mr.. Wilkin is one of the brightest
attorneys of the state, whose capa-
bility no one questions. He is not
new on the bench, having filed the
position of trial judge by appoint
ment through numerous court ses-
sions in Denver and other sections.
Above it all, he is a man as well as
lawyer. in sympathy with every
impulse of right and justice, equity
and humanity. transformations in
his everyday life, he has always KEEP
in mind his duty as a citizen and
to his neighbor, and share of his
earnings have gone, without the
knowledge of its recipients. to many
people in need. There can be no
mistake in putting that class of a
man on the Judges bench, or in
any other public position; for the
man is the thing after all.

day was well pleased with the ap-

of the route was necessarily super
