Mac ga . Halter,

The phrase mad as a batter has no
reference to that respectable artist who
designs the browning article of civil
lized male attire, but relates back to
the A~nglo-Saxon word after ian ad-
der, or viper. Mad" az formerly
used as a synonym for violent or ven
omous and is still used In that sense In
some parts OF England as well as in
this country. The phrase, therefore,
strictly means as "venomous as a Vi
per-" the old form. mad as an AFTER"
having been corrupted to mad as a
hatter.n

Dumber-and multitude to beat the

weary of limb and faint at heart
they have come back not SO much as
a chipmunk or chickadee has been
found in their gamebags.
They have pretended that the Repub-
licans have done so many wicked
things that there would be no end Of
awful things disclosed when once the
investigating committees got to work.
So they appointed their committees
and sent out subpoena after subpoena
to bring in witnesses--not failing to

nothing has come of it all. The ex-
ira session is about to adjourn with
nothing to show for all the investi-

The explanation is simple. There
was nothing to find. There were no

kind in the country. Consequently
the hunters brought none back.-Den-

They were guests of the Savoy last

keep them quiet for minute or two!
The young men said this morning
they never had nicer day and en-
joyed Mrs. Woods fun immensely.
They voted her charming chaperon.

A FALLEN IDOL.

An idol of the literary world has
fallen with sickening thud, in the
suicide of Mrs. Myrtle Reed McCul-
Tough, the novelist. Mrs. Mccullough
took an overdose of morphine Thurs
day night, on purpose. She had been
placed on pedestal by the inhabit-
ants of the literary world, who, as
everyone knows, ares women. Mrs.
Myrtle Reed Mccullough wrote "Lav-
ender and Old Lace" and Love Let
ters of Musician" and in both
books the men were so fine grained
and made such impassioned love that
it was terrible for the women of the
literary world to read about them and
then have to associate with their own
menfolks, who went around the house
in their shirt sleeves, chewed tobacco,
ate their beefsteak rare, and whose
most violent love-making consisted in
a compliment for good cooking.
The women in the literary world
imagined that Mrs. Myrtle Reed Nc
Cullough had figure like a buggy
whip; that her eyes were starry, and
that her ethereal face was framed in
halo of golden hair; that her hus-
band walked around on his knees be-
fore her, and when he spoke to her
he talked in poetry. But Mrs. Myr-
tic Reed Mccullough, according to
her pictures, which are being shown
in the papers in connection with the
story of her suicide, had figure like
an old-fashioned feather bed, wore
her hair in door-knob design on top
Of her head, and did not get along
with her husband. She left note
slamming him, and, what almost kills
the women of the literary world, the
note was addressed to the hired girl,
and said if her husband had been as
good to her as the hired girl, she
would not have taken the morphine
route to another world.---Ed Howe.

Lural college at Fort Collins returned
yesterday from a trip through this
section made for the purpose of gath
ering statistics on diseases of fruit
trees.
They found no diseases in the Ami
mas valley. Certain trees which had
the appearance of some disease, when
investigated, showed no symptoms of
any organic trouble. A yellowing Of
the leaves of some of the fruit trees
was thought to be due to the soil,
and the gentlemen took aamples of
earth home with them for testing. a
preponderance Of iron in soil will
sometimes overstimulate Plant growth
and cause change in coioring of The
leaves.
Mr.. Bennett said that this section
is unique in its agricultural posi-
tilities. The natural resources are
marvellous and what the section lacks
III extent it more than makes up in
richness of soil. He said that he
never could say enough in regard to
the Animas valley. Similar results
could just as well be obtained else
where in this county if the same
good methods of farming were prac-
ticed.
Fort Lewis mesa and the Kline
district have fire land and in a few
years will, if properly farmed, show
some surprising results. This sea-
son Fort Lewis mesa has splendid
crops of wheat, and oats, and a good
crop of alfalfa, which is more sur
prising since much of it is growing
in raw land. Corn, while not nat
urally suited TO that particular To-
cality, will produce a good average
crop.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett left via the
Southern this morning for Fort Col
Inns, staying over at different places
on the way home.

are now in Cortez looking over some
land advertised by the state land

A BUTTONHOoK SAVED HIM.

Dennis Cronin, residing at Ninety
sixth street and Second avenue, Man.

Point ferry house for boat when

Very soon afterward Dennis, obliged
TO sneeze, partly swallowed the quid,
which became lodged in the opening

borrowed buttonhook attached to a

going to find, and expressed surprise
when his fishing expedition produced
a quid of tobacco.
