position. We were flying, by Jove!
That was the meaning of this hard
going, this tremendous trepidation
From the gentle earth we had passed
to the ways of the air. That ada
mantine, resilient. and diamond
hristling surface lpon which we rode
now, it was the azure of the skies!
1t was ozone, it was ether, it was
everything that is haZy and impalpa-
BILE and blue-and it felt like metal,
like rock, like chrome-steel, like the
compressed bowels of some planet
smashed between two suns. I was
flying, and it was like drilling. | was
feeling the earth, and the earth was
following me, Jealous and vigilant,
gripping me, stubbornly and impla-
cably, with it's earth-sensations.
From the first. / had lost my
sense of direction and of the cardI-
nal points, and seemed hurtling aim
lessly through vast nowhere. A
most distressing, disgusting sensa
ton. I felt like that man who had
lost his shadow. Worse than that
shadowless person. l felt as If,
springing upward in the ether. l had
left my entire personality pasted
back there upon the earth.
And of the landscape / could
bring back nothing clear. 1t was al
ways whirlng blur of landscape;
a landscape painted by an artist
using too fluid colors; a landscape
photographed out of focus. The
trees ran together; they merged with
the land. The land stopped into the
sky. and the sky into the land.
Roads writhed vivid an instant like
snakes, and then sank back into the
plain. 1t was the shifting. dissolving,
| liquid landscape of an uncertain
| dream.
THE sun was setting. Each time
as we faced it now, we coursed gigan~
| tically tovard it, a homing dragon
making for the famulous cavern
aflame with gold. Kuller at length
took the beast high over the center
of the plain and cut off the power.
! "Then I flew; for the first time
flew. For the first time l felt that
was flying, and it was because |
was falling. The trepidation beneath
me had stopped; the wind had
ceased; the hideous tumult slipped
off into breathless silence. 1t was
as If from the sweat and oil and tu-
multi of toll we had :uddenly passed
into tho purity and hush OF the high
stellar spaces. We seemed to hover
there a moment, motionless. Then
a long, slender and tipping ecstasy
and we were upon earth. by the
sheds"

How 1t Feels to Fly

James Hopper. who rode as q pas
senger in an Antoinette aeroplane
answers this oft-repeated question
in the Christmas Everybody's. De
scribing the way in which they left
the ground he says:
And then-good Lord, what is
that, At first | thought that we had
struck an abandoned quarry and
were hurtling through a pile o!
stones. Then, more plausibly, that
we had passed from the grassy plain
to road of torn-up macadam. But
neither of these suppositions an
swered quite the question put to me
by my senses. We seemed to roll
on medium singularly hard.
Hard and smooth, and yet sown with
roughness 1t felt as If we were up
on road of adamant laid upon the
bedrock Of the earth. and as II upon
this adamantine road pebbles hard
and ,aceted like diamonds had been
strewn. Upon the hard. smooth sub
surface the machine glided level, but
excited to furious trepidation by
the bristling diamonds. We are 60

UNION PACIFIC SUIT SET
FOR HEARING In JANUARY

The United States circuit court of
appeals at ST. Louis has set January
"a, 1871, as the date for hearing
the Union Pacific right of way case
that has been pending in the courts
for nearly a year. Attorneys j. C.
Ewing, representing the city of Gree
ley, f. j. Green, representing the
street car company and C. d. Todd,
representing the Denver, Laramie &
Northwestern railroad, yesterday re-
ceived abstracts of the records,
which, incidentally. are quite vol
luminous documents
1t is expected that even after the
court of appeals decision is reached
the case will be carried into the
supreme court. In the event the
city of Greeley is sustained the rail-
road company may not wish to keep
up the litigation.
| The suit was started In January
of this year, when the Union Pacific
railroad laid claim to strip of
ground 400 feet wide through the
/ city adjacent to their tracks, claim
| ing that the road was entitled to
this land through its original con-
cessions from congress to build
through the west. The contention
was startling to not only the city OF
Greeley, but the Burlington and the
Colorado & Southern roads. which
were using part of the ground claim
ed. Considerable city property was
involved and for time the street
car company was a defendant in the
suit.
The city won the first round il
the legal battle, since Judge Levi.
in the United States court at Den
yer granted an injunction restrain
ing the Union Pacific from enforcin!
it's demand pending ruling on th
course.
The decision of the case in Gree
ley is expected to establish prece
dent for other similar cases tina
might arise. In granting concession
years ago to the western railroad
to encourage building the govern
, ment was liberal with its rights {
,, way. The 400 foot strip granted t
the U. p. makes vast acreage 1
the aggregate and in most of its tel
ritory a few hundred feet is imma
terial. But 1t Is different in tn
towns and cities where every foo
of ground is OF value. The groun
claimed in Greeley by the railroa
company is worth many thousand
of dollars.

Christmas for Little Children

For the children shut-ins there
are many and varied pleasures"
says Mabel c. Rodgers in Woman's
Home Companion for December.
"One is a picture scrap-book or, bet
ter still, a blank book and big box
containing all kinds of pictures to
be cut out and pasted in.
, For the little dolls mother
nothing would give more pleasure
than box or bag of pieces, odds and
ends of cloth. silk. velvet and ribbon
from which she could make wonder
full clothes for her baby
Another thing which would de-
light any little invalid is surprise
box This may be planned to last
a week or any length of time one
wishes and should contain a package
for each day with the date on which
it is to be opened written plainly on
each one. Dolls, toys, books and
many other things dear to the child
ish heart may be put in these pack
ages and the little one Will surely
rejoice to have his Merry Christ

No Booze Peddled BY Uncle Sam
Branch Examination at Grover

For the accommodation of the
teachers in the Grover district who
will wish to take the teachers ex-
amination this month. branch ex-
amir alton will be held in Grover.
ThA examination will be held on the
samo date as 1t will be in Greeley
December ] 3 and 16. Owing to the
fact that the court house rooms will
be occupied room has been secured
for the examination in the Camfield
Trust building.
Those living along the rural
routes who want liquid cheer deliv-
cred to their homes by Uncle Sam
will have to find some other way in
the future, as there is nothing doing
In that line. The postoffice depart
ment has set its official foot down on
rural carriers delivering liquor
Trough the mails.
The law has been effective since
July last, but the postmaster gen
aral has been too busy with politics
and with ideas of retrenchment to
give attention to the enforcement OF
this regulation. The campaign over
the postoffice department reduc-
tions in expenses having been figured
ont to a nicely, time has been found
to get out circulars warning the al
ready overburdened carriers that
bottled goods are off the list and not
to lug them around for the most
citizens on the route un-
less they get together and buy him
a separate outfit to tag along after
his regular wagon with the mail.
The reason for the order Is given
in the circular. 1t says that too
much mail has been destroyed or
destroyes oy the breaking
OF BOTTLES and soaking the contents
Of the mail sacks with cheap brand
Of booze. or more often beer. as
the records Of the country carriers
show that much more beer has been
delivered than whiskey.
The shippers have tried to avoid
the regulation by providing what
they have termed booze proof
,ases. but these have failed and the
,roken bottles on the inside have
PARTLY come out and made holes
lust large enough to emit the epistle
liquid.

MUNICIPAL PLAYGROUND
MOVEMENT BEING PUSHED

Pupils of the high and other
schools in the city will be enlisted
In the cause of municipal pla,
ground for the children of Greeley
Following a meeting of the general
committee of the association held
last night at city hall. Frank Ewing,
president Of the Greeley Playground
association. addressed the pupils OF
the high school this morning for the
purpose of outlining Just what 1t is
hoped to accomplish and to secure
the aid Of the older pupils in further
ing the plans.
Professor c. e. Carter Of tho high
school introduced Mr.. Ewing. He
explained to the pupils that the play
ground movement did not in any
way interfere with the plans OF the
school board to equip the various
school play grounds with games and
paraphernalia for entertainment. He
thought that encouragement given
would be for the common good.
Mr.. Ewing began his address with
. brief outline Of the work done thus
far by the association. He told OF
tho organization last spring. Of the
leasing of the ground south of ditch
No. and Of the $1,000 subscribed
contingent upon $4,000 in all being
raised. He explained the plan OF
operation of a municipal play
ground. OF how all sorts of games
would be provided and out door
encouraged. but not for
the purpose OF idling away time. but
to develop the young physically un-
der scientific direction. The idea
was. he said. to provide wholesome
OF various sorts that
would at the same time build up the
children into sturdy men and
women. He asked that the pupils
lend their aid by telling their par
ents and friends.
The greatest need OF the associa-
tion at present is money. He thought
that the high school pupils might
help with contribution by giving
an entertainment OF some sort, the
proceeds to be devoted to the play
ground proposition.
