men of this intermountain country
estimate that it requires three pounds
of pork products a day for each one
of their employees, which would
mean that for each employee on the
sheep ranches, it would require over
four averaged sized hogs annually. In
addition to our local demands, for
which we pay the highest prices, we
have to the west of us number oil
large cities, particularly Spokane and
Portland, where large packing plants
have been established, and FOR which
they have found it necessary to go to
Kansas and Nebraska for their hogs;
which they secure in large numbers
each month, paying the freight in adj
dition to the market prices in order
to get their supplies. These markets
belong to our people. 1t has been
learned through the railroad agen-
cies, that to supply the markets west
of the Rocky mountains it required,
in 1910, approximately $1S,0OO,OO0
worth of meat products shipped from
the eastern markets. The larger bulk
of this, perhaps, 80 per cent, con-
sisted of pork products. Surely,
then, we have for many years to
come one of the best unlimited mar
kets in the country. With all posi-
BILE things in our favor, it is not too
much to hope that this intermoun-
tain country will soon become one Of
the greatest pork producing centers
in America, and such it is destined
tO hacOme az soon as orr farmers
avail themselves of the advantages
presented to them for pork produc-
ton.

tiful design, one on the outer and one
on the inner surface Of the walls. In
our climate this would produce nearly
complete darkness, but in India, and
In a building wholly composed OF
white marble, this was required to
temper the glare that otherwise
would have been intolerable. AS 1t is.
no words could express the chastened
beauty of that central chamber, seen
in the soft gloom of the subdued light
that reaches 1t through the distant
and half-closed openings that sur
round it.
OF the essential and eternal charm
of the Tai a prominent writer says:
"You will understand the Tai best
if you wait till the rosy fieeces have
faded in the afterglow and the ripples
of the Jumna run steel-gray In the
waning light. A bird springs up, and
the leaves of the thuia and the pepal
murmur together as the darkness
grows. A fying-fox with leathern
wings wheels down from above, and
a morrice of bats herald the coming
of the moon in the evening silence.
And then you will understand that 1t
does not matter whether you can see
the Tai or not. 1t is no question now
of dome or gateway, silver-work, or
inlaid jewels. But as the dusk deep
ems you will come to know that the
frail little body buried far down in its
jeweled alabaster beside her faithful
lord, stands, and will always stand,
for all that men hold dear or sacred
in this world. However splendid or
costly it may be, however renowned,
however beautiful, the Tai itsef is
but an emblem and a symbol. So
long as men and women love upon this
earth, SO long shall they go to the
quiet garden beside the Jumna to lay
their flowers in the honor of Muntaz
alone, not of Ustad-Isa, not of Shah
Jehan, nor of another. For she loved
and was much beloved"

Superannuated.

Nothing, not even death itself, is so
much dreaded by Methodist preach
er as superannuation. 1t means cessa-
tion of pastoral work. 1t means that
he is no longer acceptable as preach
er.
1t means that he must go out, often
without a home or means of support,
into poverty and old age. The largest
allowance paid to a superannuate from
what is known as the Conference col
lection" Is not half the average salary
of the active pastor And the pastor
who can save anything out of his sal
airy for old age is more fortunate than
most of us have been.
The experience is the testing time
in Methodist preachers life. He has
nothing before him but years of grow
ing weakness and inflrmity, nothing
in the past but memories of activity,
the very recalling OF which grieves
his soul, because he can be active no
more, and even the love of his brethren
is too often of the plying sort that
only adds to his sense of loneliness.
Happy indeed is he whose faith does
not fail during these twilight years.

a Stone Coffin.

In the end of last week there was
unearthed in a field on Cockburn
farm. near Duns, an ancient stone
coffin. The interior Of the grave
which was formed of four large slabs
of the red sandstone which crops out
on the banks of the Rover White
adder, measures about three feet in
length by two feet in width. and was
about two feet deep. 1t was covered
by a similar stone, but there was no
bottom slab. The dimensions, like
those of oth8- cists recorded in the
district, show that the body which 1t
contained had been doubled up before
burial The grave contained, in addi-
ton to some of the bones of the skele-
ton, a very fine urn of the food YES
sell type, such as is commonly asso-
ciated with interments of the bronze
age. The urn measured about 51s
inches in height by 61a inches across,
the upper part adorned with two
raised bands with a dotted pattern.
the under conical part having zig
gag ornaments and the whole by no
means destitute of certain rude ar
tistic taste. 1t was preserved almost
intact.-London Globe.

Combs From Cattle Horns.

Cattle horns which have dotted the
range for the last 40 years have dis
appeared and their going makes new
industry, that of making tortoise shell
combs, hatpins and ornaments from
the horns.
1t was Yankee who came along one
day and seeing the heads and horns
bleaching on the plains thought OF
utilizing them. for tortoise shell orna-
ments. He gathered carload and
shipped them east. They were put
through a factory, treated with a Sc
cret process. and as a result the man
laid the foundation for comfortable
fortune.-Greeley Correspondence Den

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION
A DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR

The annual excursion of the First
Methodist Sunday school over the
Canon City & Cripple Creek road
through Phantom canon to Alta Vista,
Dale. cramer and return was in all
respect delightful affair. After
remaining at Alta Vista long enough
to AFFORD passengers an oportunity
of obtaining a view of the Cripple
Creek district and the Sangre de Chris
to mountains to the westward the
train pulled down to Dale. where a
picnic dinner was enjoyed by all, and
later to Cramer, where the afternoon
was spent in gamems of various kinds
and in climbing the neighboring hills.
A feature of the sport at Cramer
was a base ball game between the
members OF the L. F. Collins and W.
z. Barter Sunday school classes on
one side and the members OF the Bish-
op McCabe class on the other. Nine
innings were played without vic
tory being achieved by either side;
the score being eleven to eleven. The
batteries were Henry and McKinnen.
for the younger men, and Friend and
Bryant. pitchers, and Grundman.
catcher. for the Bishop McCabe
organization. An unfortunate acci-
dent happened TO J. o. surbrugg, one
of the players with the latter team,
who was hit on the nose by the ball.
resulting in the breaking of the bones
of that very useful member.
There we're more than three hun
dred people on the train. crowding
the accommodations provided by the
railroad company for their passage
to the point of discomfort. To meet
the demands of the situation an open
coal car had to be impressed into SER
vice. which was used as an observa-
tIon coach. The excursionists reach
cd home few minutes after o'clock

SAYS CIVIC IMPROVE
MEnT LEAGUE HAS
SPOILED THE CITY

"A prominent Canon City lady who
is greatly interested in the civic beau
ty and cleanliness of Canon City made
the seemingly paradoxical statement
the other night that she thought that
the Civic improvement league had
ruined the city. Yet an investigation
of affairs will show that such is in
reality the case.
Every year the Civic Improvement
League has Clean Up day. For
a week previous every property hold
er in town gathers up the rubbish
about their places and piles it in a
convenient spot SO that the teams and
men mustered into service by the
League might gather it up. The peo-
pie have entered into the spirit of the
occasion every year with the result
that the city has been spick and span
dller tne udy Work-
That part Of the Leagues work is
commendable. in fact everything that
it does is praiseworthy, but the fact
that SO many people take advantage
Of the good work being done and
throw all OF their rubbish out into
the alleys and onto the vacant lots
expecting the league to clean it up
at any and every time of the year. is
where the reason is found for the
contention that the C. I. L has really
spoiled the city.
1t should not be by any means and
it is only because many people. given
an inch, have taken a mile. that such
an assertion can possibly be made.
Those persons who are throwing rub
bish on vacant lots and in alleys are
just the people who could easily af-
ford to have the stuff hauled to the
city dumping grounds. 1t is their
duty to do so and not to depend upon
the League to do it for them
The C. /. l. was never organized as
a transporiatlon company to do all
OF the refuse hauling fer the city. 1t
only essays TO perform that favor up
On Clean Up" days which come but
once year At all other times 1t
should be done by the individaul par
lies themselves
There IS no reason in the world why
anyone should take advantage of the
league and throw rubbish about care
lessly expecting it to come and clean
III up. That isn't the function of the
league and should be attended to by
the individual in question.
The league cant and never will
spoil the town if the people do not
take advantage of it. A sight at any
vacant lot today easily goes to show
that many people are trying to make
the assertion true that The civic i'm
provement league is trying TO ruin
the city" 1t should be vastly differ
