the apple show az Denver. where ex-
hibits from Washington carried on
many substantial prizes. pays a de-
served tribute 20 the growers OF this
state in the following words:
at has been announced that several
car loads of apples from the great
Spokane show wound be exhibited at
Denver, but such was not the case.
However, there were few boxes of
fancy fruit from Washington, some
of which had been shown at Spokane,
and this fruit proved a revelation to
some of the Colorado growers. II is
safe to say that never before had
they been so impressed with the fact
that good packing of fruit pays, as
they were by this fruit from Wash
ington.
Colorado grows fine apples, of
good varieties, but attention has not
been given to the grading and pack
ing of fruit as has been the case in
Washington and Oregon, and perhaps
Idaho. The Colorado tumble pack
is certainly not the thing for fancy
fruit for exhibition purposes, at any
rate. Along side the fancy packed
boxes from Washington it looked very
mOnplace-although we should
say for the benefit of the Colorado
growers, that as a rule they are still
a long way ahead of growers in the
middle west and in the eastern states
in their packing methods.
Another thing which Colorado
growers learned at the show was that
II will hardly be the proper thing to
take their comm ercial-packed fruit
and enter for premiums in competi-
ton with other apples which have
been packed for that special purpose.
1t is said that many exhibitors simply
took the apples as they were packed
last fall, without considering that
show fruit needs to be at least lit
tie better than fruit which is to be
sold in the regular way.
Tho statement was repeatedly
made that the show will be worth
thousands of dollars to the apple
growers of Colorado. in showing
them in the most forcible way.

PEOPLE REALLY TO BLAME.

In a speech denouncing Cannonism,
a congressman from Texas uttered a
troublesome truth "Most constit-
uencies," he said, would rather see
their representatives in congress grab
for them than care for them"
For many years the standard of
congressional efficiency has been
measured by the amount of the grab.
If a representative fails to do the log
rolling necessary to obtain a public
building, or to improve a waterway,
or to bring about the payment of a
few private claims, his service is
likely to be declared valueless, even
though he has never failed to stand
up valiently for the rights of the
whole people. The present congress,
which shuts it's ears to the demands
of the public, or when forced to
listen resorts to trickery, is the logi-
cal outcome of such a system.
Some state are beginning to see the
light. Nowadays when congress-
man of Kansas distinguishes himself
by getting things" for his district the
people who elected him have doubts
of his fidelity. if they are not con-
WINGED, but If he comes home empty
handed they greet him with brass
bands and congratulate him on his
independence. In the long run the
Kansas method will. pay better than
the grab system.

Verses "a What is the nature of
the disease of leprosy?
How many points of esemblance
are there between leprosy and sin?
How were lepers treated in those
days?
How had this leper probably
learned that Jesus had power to heal
him?
Did Jesus desire that this leper
should never tell who had healed him.
or that he should tell the priest first
before telling any other person?
IF God will ne can do anything. but
to how many of our requests may we
be certain that he will say 81 will?'
What prompted Jesus to grant the
request and to heal this leper?
Verse s. What was the position of
centurian, and if he had been some OBJ
scure person would Jesus have treated
him just as courteously?
Verses 6, T. What benefit is it to us
today to bring our sick ones to Jesus?
SO far as records show Jesus while
in the flesh healed all the sick ones
ones that were brought to him; Is that
sufficient to prove that he will do the
same today?
Verses 8, 8. From the commenda-
ton which Jesus afterwards gave him,
was not this man more worthy than
he thought?
What are the relative moral values
f,f It, &, lit

Why should not man be blamable

estimate of himself whether for or

BILE for all of us when we pray for

What is the force of the centurian's

laws of nature to the commands of
Jesus? Speak the word only"
Verse 10. What reason is there to
believe that in every nation and under
every form of error and superstition
men are found who fear God, and
that All who do fear him are accepted
of him?
Verses II, H. When it comes to a
matter of personal salvation what ad
vantage did the Jew have over the

What is the reason for the belief
that many heather will be saved in

CIvHIzING ESKlMOS.

Commander Peary, in recent num-
Der of Hampton's Magazine, thus
writes of the Eskimos: 81 hope no
efforts will ever be made to civilize
them. Such efforts, If successful
would destroy their primitive COM
munism. Once give them an idea of
real estate interest and personal
property rights in houses and food
and they would become as selfish as
civilized beings, whereas now any
game larger than q seal is the COM
mon property of the tribe, and no
man starves while his neighbors are
gorging themselves. If man has
two sets of hunting implements he
gives one to the man who has none.
1t is this feeling of good fellowship
which alone preserves the race
Naturally, the commanders re-
marks have aroused considerable
protest. One of his critics says: II
hope that the Eskimos will be brought
and fear of evil spirits that now en-
gulf them will soon be lifted. Com
mander Peary lost the opportunity of
his life when he met those people
and left them with no more than
they had before his coming"
Speaking literally, Commander
Peary is not guilty of the ense
charged. Opportunity did not find
him laggard for, with all his fine
words, lie left the Eslimos with less
than they possessed before his ad-
vent Doesn't his critic know that he
carried off the two meteors consti-
tuting the iron mountain from which
those children of that ideal unciviliz-
alton obtained the iron tips for their
hunting implements?

lenge again. Again the Kamiah
monster tried to breath SO
deeply as to draw the strange chal-
lenger into his grasp. but again he
failed.
Very Big Medicine.
"He is a very big medicine" he said
once more.
And now Coyote mounted the top
of the Salmon river mountains, some
where near the Buffalo Hump of the
present time. and again the monsters
breath failed to draw him. The baf-
fed Kamiah was now sure that this
was extraordinary medicine. In real
ity Coyote had each time held him
self by a grass rope tied to the noun
tain.
Coyote now called into counsel
Kotskots, the fox. Providing him with
five knives, Kotskots advised Coyote
to force an entrance into the interior
of the monster Entering in Coyote
found people in all stages of emacia-
lion, evidently having had their life
gradually sucked out of them. 1t was
also so cold and dark in the interior
that they We're chilled almost into in
sensibility Looking about him, Coy
ote began to see great chunks of fat
and pitch in the vitals of the monster,
and accordingly he rubbed some sticks
together ar started a fire, which, be-
ing fed wi \ the fat and pitch soon
grew into cheerful glow. Now,
armed with his knives, he assembled
into the vast interior until he reached
the heart. He had already directed
Kotskots to rouse up and gather to-
gether all the emaciated stowaways
and provide that when the monster
was cut open they should see how to
rush out into the sunlight.
Hacks nj Heart.
Great as was the monster, Kamiah,
he could not stop the persistent hack
ing away at his heart which Coyote
now entered upon. When the fifth
knife was nearly gone, the heart
dropped down and Kamiah collapsed
into lifeless mass. The people, un-
der the guidance of Kotskots, burst in
selves abroad. 1t must be remembered
that these were animal people, not hui

last wonder; for, cutting the monster
into pieces, he now began to fashion
from the pieces a new race Of beings
called men. The portion which he cut
from the head he flung northward
and of this was fashioned the Flathead
tribe. The feet he cast eastward
making them the Blackfeet. So he
continued, making new tribes here
and there. But at the last Kotskots
interposed an objection.

"for the valley of the Lapwai which is
the most beautiful Of ALL"
Realizing the force of this sugges-
ton, Coyote mixed the blood of the
monster with water and sprinkled it
in rain over the entire valley of the
Clearwater. From these drops of
blood and water the Nez Perez tribe
was formed. The head of the monster
is still to be seen by all travellers in
that country, being heart-shaped hill
in the valley of Kamiah.
