Morias, winter is not quite gone, and spring has not come; when the flowers come and the bluebirds sing, she may go; that was what I demanded on the night that you yielded up your last objection; we can part with her and the baby better then
 That night. after the departure of the Morrisons, Jacob Morias went to hls library. He was wakeful and thought he would take up his Talmud. But no, I'll see what the Galilean. that excellent teacher of the Jewish religion, has to say" He turned the leaves without pur- pose and read here and there:
 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. "Blessed are the merciful, for they snail obtain mercy" "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted."

 He was appointed by President Hayes minister to Brazil which position he filled during the years 1S77-S1, and the mission to Germany was rendered him when that of the Brazilian should close. Among the brilliant events which en- tered into his life was that of a par ticipation in the emancipation of the slaves in Brazil during his ineumbency of the diplomatic ministry to that coun- try. It was during that time that the question became paramount one in that country, and his views were sought concerning the results in the North American states, in reply to which so- licitations he wrote a long letter, which was a turning point in the colossal movement, and assured the success of the proposed reform In appreciation of this service a great banquet was given in his honor In Rio Janeiro, on the occasion of which he delivered an

Placed on the electoral ticket in Alabama, he canvassed the state in the interest of Harrison and Tyler. In 1S4 he was elected to Congress, declining foreign mission that year, but later accepting the mission to Belgium, which was ten dered him by Mr. Tyler, who after be- coming President recognized the service rendered by MT. Hilliard in his behalf in procuring for him the vice presi- dency.
 Resigning after two years of service at Brussels, Hilliard return to Alabama and was successively elected to Congress for a period of years, defeating, at diff ferent times, such men as John Cochran and James l.. Pugh, both of Barbour. So creditable was the first speech made by Mir. Hilliard on the floor of Congress that ex-President John Quincy Adams, then a member of the House, went across the hall to congratulate him.

His early life was distinguished by a precocity which showed itself in his grad uation with distinction from South Caro- lima college in it's palmiest period at the early age of IS.
 At 23 MT. Hilliard was chosen pro- lessor in the University of Alabama, in which position he not only sustained his earlier reputation as a scholar, but was quite a favorite in the best circles of Tus- caloosa society because of his rare so- cial qualities. At "A he was selected by the legislature of Alabama to deliver an address on the occasion of the death or Charles Carroll, the last of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Everett and Hfliard were like the sum- mer brook winding with graceful curve amidst green meadows, flashing in splen- dor, but fruetifying in their onward course. The ability to speak effectively was derived by Hilliard more from cul- ture; that of Yaneey more from nature. Hilliard could speak on almost any oc' casion with effectiveness; Yancey needed the afflatus of the hour derived from q sea of upturned faces, an expectant null titude, a subject of consuming interest. Gifted with a voice of music, the dictiou of Hilliard was classic, facile and fer vld.

In Congress, as ever elsewhere, MT. Hilliard impressed all, not only by his ability as an orator, but as a scholar. and resourceful one. The recognition of this latter fact led to his appointment as one of the original regents of the Smithsonian Institution. His varied abil- ity resulted in unusual demands being made on him, but he was diligent, active and resourceful, and measured up to every obligation imposed.
 MT. Hilliard was on the electoral tickets of Fillmore in 1856, and of Bell and Everett in 1860. Tn the formation of the Southern Confectionery he was one of the commissioners appointed by President Davis to assist in the adjust mept of Tennessee matters preparatory to the admittance of that state into the new confederation. During the civil War he raised a body of troops which was known as Hilliard's legion. and was given commission as brigadier general After the close of hostilities General Hilliard located at Augusta,

 In brief sketch like this, so imper- fectly drawn, one gains but an imper- feet idea of the manysdedness of the charater and usefulness of General Hill liard As orator, statesman, diplomat, author and soldier. General Hilliard led long public career of unusual distinc- tion, marked by utility and crowned with intellectual luster.
 He had not the consummate skill and gifts of oratory possessed by his gigantic rival Yancey, whom he encountered at different times in debate Hilliard was an elocutionist rather than an orator. and brought to the stump and forum all the culture and niceties of that art.

Fair Notes

Albert Lawrence had the largest
number of varieties OF grains and
grasses of any single exhibitor. His
display numbered 9s sorts.
]. A. Enright & Co. had the only
exhibit of buggies and vehicles on
display. His line of goods was well
represented by the articles in his
tent, and drew many visitors while
there.
While the automobile tent was
not largely patronized by motor
representatives, the Weld County
Auto Co. had creditable showing,
along with d. C. Muth, who had
Yale motorcycles, Paul Arbuckle
with Excelsior motorcycles, the
Greeley Motor company showed the
Liberty Brush, and e. w. Langtry
the Cadillac.
One of the most interesting ex-
hibits for the women at the fair was
that of Nelson Demorest's, showing

very tastily arranged in the rear of

FOOD PRICES

Necessities VIII Be Out of Reach of
Common People is Prediction
in Wholesale Circles

New York, Sept. 25-Prices of
food products are soaring so fast
that it was freely asserted in whole
sale circles that within another
month the altitude record of year
ago would be exceeded and that by
the first of the year the necessities
OF life would be out of reach of the
common people.
Wholesale dealers made no effort
to minimize the situation. 1t was
most serious they said and few had
any reasonable excuse or explana-
ton to offer.
Sugar is higher than since Civil
war days; coffee is daily advancing
eggs and butter are already almost
prohibitive; garden potatoes are

Hotlsson Has 1Oa Exhibits

George HOdgsOn, OF HOdgson sta
tion on the Denver Laramie. has
the largest number OF articles on
display of any single exhibitor in
the agricultural tent. His display
consists of 102 varieties of grains,
grasses and vegetables.
( Mr.. Hodgson is familiarly known
as the Luther Burbank of the
Clatte," and is as enthusiastic all
experimenter as his namesake OF
Santa Rosa. Among the novelties
which comprise a goodly portion of
his display, are peanuts, several
new and improved varieties of flax,
with white blooms and an excess of
Oil over the ordinary sorts. He
shows four cuttings of alfalfa from
the same plant, with plant and
root eight feet long. He raised 100
pound of seed. and the grain will
weigh SO pounds to the bushel.
Mr.. Hodgson has been expert
menting with peas, in an effort to
find field peas that will do well in
Weld county, the San Luis Valley
sorts having proven worthless here.
He believes he has discovered it in
a cross of the garden pea and the
sweet pea. The resultant strain
shows the characteristics of the
sweet pea in appearance, but with
out the fragrance. The blossoms
are uniformly blue in two shades.
The vine grows nearly four feet
high, and Is n heavy yielder. Cocoa
cane is another novelty, bearing
seed that are roasted and serve to
make cocoa. His dasheens, sub
stitute for potatoes in some coun-
tries, have been mentioned. A vine
less pumpkin bears half dozen
pumpkins two feet long and over.
on n single plant no larger than a
push bean. The whole display is
well worth half an hours time of
any man.

Governor Shafroth reviews the
conditions which brought about the
cry for direct legislation, details the
adoption of the initiative an. refer
endum in various cities and states
throughout the country and gives
brief explanation of the operation OF
the laws. He Gays that the time is
now upon the nation, predicted by

that the war had allowed corporate
interests too great power and that
they would be the cause of an era
of corruption in high places by rea-
son of their enthronement.
