Pipe Dreams

When was digging ditches. used
to long for riches, thought that Ia
be happy II had coin to burn; saw
the wealthy speeding along the road
unheeding; they blew In more for
stOgies than ! knew how to earn.
When was loading gravel, ! longed
and l0nged to travel. to scoOt In palace
coaches, or sail across the sea; said:
II have TO labor like thunder while
my neiRhbor, Is blowing In his bun
die, as busy as bee" And now with
wealth I'm loaded; alas! 1t seems
cNrruded; It doesn't seem TO glitter
the way 1t ought To do; my life is soft
and easy, but lam fat and wheezy, l
spend my days in yawning, and am
tired and blue. It's tires0me to be
wealthy; it's better to be healthy,
with sprinving, active muscles. no
spavIns on your legs; wish that l
could travel back to the days Of ofgravel,
when could eat bushel Of good old
ham and eggs!-Walt Mason.

Building Being Rushed

The work on the Sonneland. N iller
building on Denver boulevard Is be-
Ing carried forward rapidly and the
masons are throwing up the side
walls in rapid manner. The ground
for the Cook building adjoining has
been cleared by the removal Of the
old Star restaurant frame and work
on that part OF the double building
will be begun as soon as material can
be placed on the ground. The COM
pletion Of these editlces will add much
to the appearance Of our main street
and when some OF the unsightly
shacks on both sides OF the street are
removed and replaced with handsome
brick structures we will have a street
that will look like business.

Buy a Ticket

In order that Ord way may enjoy the
pleasure and advantages of a lyceum
course this winter, small number Of
our public spirited citizens have OBJ
ligated themselves to make good any
deficiency In case the receipts for the
present season fail to pay the ex-
penses. just at present it looks very
much as though these gentlemen will
have to dig down into their pockets
when the season is over. This should
not be so in town like Ordway.
Therefore everyone who is interested
In such matters should make it IA point
to buy Il season ticket before the next
attraction is dated. Tickets, both
season and single. may be procured at
Edgar Bros drug store. where reser-
vations may also be made. The course
is a good one and you'll get your
moneys worth. Don't put it off. but
get Il ticket at once.

string Of abuse Of the Ordway man

far, however, for there was q smack

First Attraction of
Lyceun Is Good
Meistersingers Give Two Hour
Program to- oAccompaniment
of Continual Applause

Owing partly to unfavOrable wealth.
er. only u fair sized audience greeted
the Meistersingers quartet. the OPEN
ing number OF the lyceum course for
the present season, at the opera house
Wednesday evening. While this
quartet hardly measured up to some
that have appeared In Orday. their
singing was very pleasing and was
we'll received by those present. The
solo work was not as effective as that
done In ensemble, but the songs
rendered to the accompaniment OF the
organ chimes were very effective.
Taken AZ a whole. the evening was
one that should have been enjoyed by
much larger audience
The quartet caught the fancy Of the
audience immensely by many Of
their encores, which we're severely
abbreviated but richly humorous.
The applause all through the evening
was most generous-in fact, little
too much 80.
One OF the enjoyable features Of the
evening was the music furnished by
the Ordwsy orchestra, which has just
been reorgauized for the present sea-
son. The orchestra includes Miss Hell.
en- Davenport, piano; George Edgar,
violin; Fl. G. Tiedemann. cornet, and
Ray Cook, clariOnet. Their music
was Of high order and speaks we'll
for their rendition on future oeca-
sions In this place and elsewhere.
The next attraction will be Everett

"Lights OUT

This, gentle reader, is not tale Of

MoNoLITHS FOUND IN EGYPT
Some Are Enormous but the Majority
Of Them Are Of Moderate
Size.

The monoliths of Egypt were as a
rule of comparatively moderate size,
and most of the building blocks were
such as would generally be used to-
day, but the pillars Of the temple Of
the Sphinx are 16 feet in height by
Az feet in width, and some others
are 20 to 26 feet in height.
Most of the great columns, says
the National magazine, are built up
in courses, and those Of Luxor are
not solid, two-thirds of the diameter
being filed in with a yellow con-
crete or cement which has now lost
It's adhesiveness. These, however,
are of immense proportions, with
shafts Of 40 feet, capitals Of liz feet
and a diameter at the base Of 11A
feet.
At Karnak the columns Of the main
hall measure SIS feet In the shaft
with lotus flower capitals Of 10 feet
additional; their largest diameter is
II feet inches. Other temples were
supported by columns scarcely less
lofty and impressive. Upon these
columns immense blocks Of hewn
stone formed massive architraves, or
which the thick tagging of the stone
roofs was supported.
The arch, while not,unknown to the
Egyptians, was for some reason sci
dom used in the great temples. BY
what means these immense pillars
were carried up and the superstruo
ture added is something of a puzzle
to modern artisans who appreciate
the difficulties to be met,
