Judge Alden's lecture last night
was an epoch. 1t should mark the
commencement of a time when the
basic truths of life and its recrea-
tion should no longer be barred from
the ears of boys and girls, but should
become their common heritage in
education.
Epigra matte and scintillating
with bubbling humor, the lecture was
saved from the dry rot of the pedant
by the speakers own personality, but
he never wasted on smile u moment
which could be better used in deliv-
ering his message. His jests were
his vehicles to better bring to his
hearers his stern lessons and the
laughs they produced acted as diges-
tive juices to better prepare ii for
assimilation.

Sentinel Special Service.
Montrose, Colo, Dec. l4.-In this
city feeling is divided over the an
nouncement that Judge Shackleford
has ordered an examination of the
books of the county officials. Many
claim that the move is solely polit-
ical and was designed as a rebuke to
those who voted against Judge
Shackleford in the recent election.
1t is also charged that the sum of
$2,400 which the accountant may col
lect for his services, is exorbitant and
the commissioners are threatening
not to pay it.
On the other hand. the fact that
no complete audit has been made
for several years leads many to COM
mend the action of the judge and de-
mand thorough and exhaustive ac-
counting.
1t was stated here this afternoon
that Mulnix would refuse to accept
the offer of Deputy County Clerk Cas-
sells to let the examination-tuisa place
in the clerks office, but will Insist
upon being allowed to move the
