Denver.-The Colorado Prison AS
scciation has three matters that will
probably be made the subject of de
sired legislation in bills to be pre-
sented to the Eighteenth General AS
sembly An extension of the parole
system in the lower courts is one
Another is the extension of the system
ct employing prisoners by putting men
confined in city and county jails at
work on state road building, as is now
cone with penitentiary inmates. The
third bit of proposed legislation has
to do with a change in the method OF
feeding county Jail prisoners. The as
sociation would furnish board for the
prisoners at cost instead of the flat
rate of 35 cents a day now charged.

solon,, SALARY cause. trouble.

Denver-The constitutional amend
ment, changing the method of paying
members of the State Senate and
House of Representatives., is causing
all kinds OF trouble for State Auditor
M. A. Leddy. The thing looks all
right, but when it comes to putting 1t
into effect, that's another matter.
The amendment makes the salary OF
senators and representatives $1,000 for
the biennial period in which they
serve. Formerly they were paid 81
per day, also mileage and expenses.
One of the principal questions that
kas arisen is whether of not holdover
senators should be paid under the new
or the old regulations.

Poor lights are often caused by the
condition OF lamps and wicks. The heavy
oils which accumulate In the lamp should
be thrown out every month and the lamp
thoroughly cleaned.
Do not put water into the lamp.
The lamp should be filled and the
charred portion of the wick removed each
time before lighting.
Use wick of good quality. The wick
is the vital part of the lamp.
New wicks should be supplied every
month or two. They should be dried be-
fore the fire and put into the oil while
still warm. Used wicks should be SIM
ilarly dried every two weeks. Wicks
gradually clog. Clogged wicks make
poor lights. Don't economic on wicks.
They are cheaper than oil or eyesight.
A smoky flame may be due to a cheap
burner or an unsuitable chimney. Burner
and chimney should be kept clean. Burn
ers may be cleaned by boiling with water
to which little soda has been added.
If these directions are followed, par
ticularly, those with regard to wicks,
there will be less complaint Of oil and
lights.

he had been under since he left Ia
rephhath, the meeting with Obadiah, the
sharp conflict with Ahab, the all-day
contest with the prophets of Baal, the
slaughter of 400 of them, the race against
the rain for IL miles, the 95-mile Jour-
ney to Beersheba, and an extra day
journey in the wilderness-all of these
were sufficient to have broken the iron
physique, and to have overcome his won
derful endurance He was tired; and a
tired man is subject to disbursement.
Then the reaction which naturally fol-
lowed the citation over his victory was
also a cause.
Another reason for his disbursement
was his misunderstanding of the real
facts He was deeply interested in the
religious condition of his people. 1t had
grieved him sorely that they had gone
so deep into idoIatry; he had broded
over his peoples condition so that he
felt that he was alone in his loyalty to
God The man was suffering from lack
of companionship; he had been Isolated;
he had not come in contact with other
men, so that he could not realize that
in the great mass of idolatry, there were
any who sympathized with him in his
love to God. The loneliness of the man
was the cause of his disbursement.
Another reason was his misconception
of Gods plan. We win speak more OF
this later.
JEHOVAH'S GENTLENESS.
I want you to note how gentle God
was in bearing with this discouraged
man. He did not scold him; there was
nothing of rebuke; but gently and pa
tiently he overcame each one of the rea-
sons for his encouragement, and sent
Elijah forth a different man for the
rest of his life. He needed rest and
refreshment at that time rather than re-
buke. Worn out with the long journey
that he had taken, Elijah dropped to
sleep at prayer for it was about dusk.
An angel walked him again; this must
have been after the night was over.
Gods angel had been watching over this
worn out man while he slept al might
long. Then in the strength of this re-
freshment and rest, Elijah tasted for 40
days and 40 nights while he went still
further away from Jezebel and came to
Mt. Horeb at the end of the Sinai penin-
sula.
1t is supposed that Elijah was in the
same cave Of this mountain that Moses
had occupied during the 40 days and
nights when he had communed with God
when he had given him the law. In re-
Spouse to the question why he was there,
Elijah revealed his mind, the loneliness
that he felt in his royalty to God, and
then God corrected his erroneous concep-
ton of his plan, and reaveled to him a
secret which Elijah needed. The earth
quake, and the storm and the fire passed
by, but Jehovah was not in these. Final
ly a still small voice came and Elijah
found the secret of Gods plan, He had
supposed that it was in some spectacular
way idolatry would be driven out Of Is
rael and the worship of God restored.
These were represented by the storm,
and the earthquake, and the fire, God
showed him that 1t was by quiet influ-
ence that the result was to be accomp-
plished. This was by still small voice.
The Chaldean gives an interesting shade
of the truth; "a still small voice. is
translated, "a voice singing in the ST.
lence."

1t will not be forgotten that Manchuria
was battlefield during the Russo-Jap
war. How many thousand corpses OF
dead soldiers were inferred in the local
ity nobody can tell, but should suppose
that infection could find no more prolific
hotbed for future propagation than the
battlefields where hundreds of thousands
persisted in the late war.
The railway belonging to the Japanese
which traverses southern Manchuria is
quarantined The foreign nurses who
went into the infected district to nurse
the sick are dying very fast. Scores are
perishing in Tien-Tsin. 1t will not be for
gotten that the boxer war circled around
Tien-Tsin. 1t would seem that battlehelds
in an overcrowded population are pecu-
liarly liable to this terrible scourge. With
thousands of foreign immigrants coming
into America, it would appear that quar-
antine regulations would not come amiss
