Rev. C. C. Ciller
Dies Suddenly

Delta was the scene of a death
call almost as sudden and tragic
on Monday as that of l. N. Bunt-
ing at Grand Junction Sunday
night.
Rev. G. G. Giller. who was ap-
pointed to fill the pulpit OF the
first M. E. church in Delta while
Pastor Johnson was away on a
health vacation. delivered his SER
mons Sunday in his usual health
and vigor. retiring at night in a
cheerful mood. On Monday
morning he was found in his bed
in an unconscious state, from the
effects of which; four physicians
constantly at his bed side, could
not arouse him, and he expired
shortly after noon.
Rev. Giller had suffered con-
siderably from attacks of sciatic
rheumatism, and It is probable
that this caused heart failure.
The deceased was 90 years Of
age. He had filed the pulpit of
the Methodist church in Hotch-
kiss for two years. but resigned
his charge there because of i'll
health. He was a brilliant and
popular young clergyman.
Mr.. Giller leaves a wife and
two little girls, a father and moth
er, Mr.. and Mrs. Il. X. Giller,
who live on their ranch near
Hotchkiss. Funeral services were
held az the church Tuesday fore
noon, DIR. Lace of Grand juno
ton delivered the discourse. The
body was taken to Julesburg,
Colorado. for buriel. Many friends
of the family came down from
Hotchkiss to attend the services
here.-Delta Independent.

A Christmas Cantata
To Be Given in Paonia

The choir of the Congregation
al church with the assistance of
the choir of the Christian church
and some others will give can
tata on Christmas eve in the
Christian church. The cantata,
THE Adoration." is by George b.
Nevin a composer who has added
a great number of beautiful things
to the present sum of sacred mu-
sic. There will be solos by Mrs.
Cady the Misses Olinger. Edel-
weiss Miller, and Messrs. Oliver
and Coyle. The chorus has
been carefully drilled for the last
month and it is therefore conf
IDENTIFY expected that the rendi-
ton of the work will reach high
level of effectiveness
The cantata is a short one and
therefore there has been added to
the order of worship some extra
solos. which together with fitting
readings from the scripture pro-
vide a service whose aim and in
tent is to be one of reverent and
beautiful thanksgiving.
A silver collection will be re-
ceived to defray the costs Incl
dental to the preparation of the
work.

Newspapers Must Hunt
For New Material

newspapers OF the country do for
something to write about when
they are short OF material. We
clipped the following piece from
the Denver News:
VALE. JOHN d.
For one, I hate to say good-by
John ID;
You oftentimes have been friend to
me
And to other humble men
Who rely upon a pen
To live life Of ease and luxury.
Whenever have had some verse to do
And couldn't find a subject that was
new,
1 didn't fret or fuss
But stirred up the Octopus
And threw a verbal harpoon into you
The merry quibs I've made OF Stand
ard lie
Produced returns that made them
worth the while;
But with cash too we'll knew
Not to seek an interview
And have you meet me with that
Merritt smile.
For copy" you're the best ever saw
For those who write and other men
who draw;
But you're quitting us for good,
And II were you would,
For they're putting teeth into the
Sherman law.
So, vale, good Maecenas Of my verse!
But ere you go one stunt we will re-
hearse;
The trust outlook, you see,
Like this valedictory,
Is pretty bad. but still 1t might be
worse. RICHARD LINTHICUM

A Church in a Rock.

In the quaint old German town of
Oberstein an ancient church stands,
built in the great rock rising from the
river. The front of the building is of
stone, but the church itself is followed
out of the rock and penetrates far into
its heart. Tradition says that in the
fourteenth century the count OF Ober-
stein. one of the old robber barons, fell
deeply in love with a beautiful young
lady, the daughter of a neighboring
knight.
His brother also sought the fair
maiden's hand and the two suitors had
a violent quarrel The upshot was
that the count flung his hapless broth
err from the top of his castle wall
high up the precipitous cliff. Repent
ing of his awful deed, the count vowed
that he would build church where
his brothers body first touched the
ground. He did so, excavating the
church in the rock; and tradition goes
on to say a miraculous spring of clear
water sprang from the crag as a token
that heaven was appeased. This
curious church is now the only
Protestant place of worship in thu
town.-Wide World Magazine.

CHAPTER XIII.


Miss DaneerfieId Takes a Prisoner.
A dozen men carrying rifles across
their saddle-bows rode away from
Understands farm on the outskirts of
Turner Court House and struck a
rough trail that led a devious course
over the hills. At their head rode the
guide of the expedition-a long silent
man on a mule. CriswOld and Haber-
sham followed Immediately behind
him on horseback. Their plans had
been carefully arranged before they
left their rendezvous, and save for
an occasional brief interchange be-
tween the prosecuting attorney and
the governors special representative,
the party logged on in silence. Haber-
sham's recruits were, it may be said,
farmers of the border. who had await
ed for years just such an opportunity
as now offered to avenge themselves
upon the insolent Appleweights. Near
ly every man of the party had some
private score to- settle, but they had
all been sworn as special constables
and were sobered by the knowledge
that the power Of the state of South
| Carolina was back of them.

Ardmore and his lieutenant rode
