WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements That May Be Investigated
Testimony of Delta Citizen.

When a Delta citizen comes to the
front, telling his friends and neigh
bors of his experience, you can rely
on his sincerity. The statements of
people residing in far away places do
not command your confidence. Home
endorsement is the kind that backs
Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is
convincing. Investigation proves it
true. Below is a statement of Delta
resident. No stronger proof of merit
can be had.
w. H.. McAllister, 235 Columbia ST.,
Delta, Colo, says: Il have had such
satisfactory results from Doan's Kid
ney Pills that / believe every kidney
sufferer should know about them. At
any time find that my kidneys aren't

tracted to what you see now
wesley had the look of George
Washington and he seemed to have
most of them eastern tenderfeet COM
in his way, but one old Yankee with
billie goat whiskers was skeptical
'Assumin, Mr. Forbisher,' he said
that this here remarkable story of the
shrinkin' up of the rails is true. how
does it come that there is no mark of
the place where the track was laid
before it begun to shrink Wesley
never batted an eye on account of that
question. We'll, the fact is, Mr.
Sprague,' he said, when this shrinkin
commenced at the place that he'd been
graded for the track, it begun to
shrink and shrink till the grass and
muskeet brush just naturally closed
over where that track he'd been till
not even an Injun could foller the line
where that track used to was
THAT was reasonable explana-
ton but it didn't go with that old Yer
monter. He said that in his opinion
Wesley was the most audacious and
smoothest liar he had ever met up
with in his long ard varied career,
durin' which he had met with several
specimens of different kinds of liars.
"Some men, you know, are just

Speaking of heat and cold" I'd
marked Old Bill Misgivens, 81 hav~
seen considerable of both. The heat
is powerful thing to expand and the
cold is powerful thing to contract.
When l was down in Arizona on the
range it got powerful hot at times
and everything in the metal line ex-
panded heap
Il had an ordinary pocket knife
that bought in the East and took out
there with me One day was whit
tin some muskeet bush with it and
laid it down in the sun and forgot it.
1t was middlin' hot day, the mer-
curry standin' at 140 in the shade and
160 in the sun. Well, couple Of
hours after that | missed my knife
and went to look for it. The big blade

can there was Jim Buster, a cattle
man who fenced in 10 miles square
with barb wire in the winter time.
That hot summer his wire fence be-
gun to expand till it reached round a
pasture 20 miles square and took in
about 500 or 600 head of cattle, and
Jim swore it was nothin' in the world
but the expansion of the wire fence
caused by the internal heat. He made
'em believe it nough anyway so they
didn't hang him.
"There was railroad track built

maids were bringing their sheep up t
, the troughs-and now with thei
laughter, they were going down tn
J stone steps, and splashing in the waite
) with their arms, then handing up tn
great jars of water, and poured int
the thick stone troughs. Graceful tn,
girls and cool as the well itself theil
soft young laughter Then suddenly
one of them cried out and they drew
back, and three rough shepherds, with
flock of their own, were thrustinp
them aside, one of them seized the
nearest girl, and:
"Get you gone"
Then pushed her back, and with
sticks and stones they began to drive
away the sheep that hte girls had
brought and water their flock at the
troughs that had been filled.
Quickly he came leaping down from
his place on the hill side, and with his
staff cracked one of the three men
across the pate, then thrust him stag
gering against comrade, and cried:
"Away, swine and sons of swinel
Nay, stand back, ALL"
And the three stood cycling him
with shifting eyes, muttering togeth-
er, came forward a step, caught the
CLEAN of light in his glance and went
away, driving their sheep before them
Then Moses turned to the maids and
said:
Bring up your flocks; these men
will trouble you no more"
And he took jars from them, and
brought up water and filled the
-roughs, and their sheep drank. Then
she who was the leader of them all
said:
"Oh, my lord, thy courtesy is great
md we've shepherdesses thank thee
much"
So smiled and went away, her sis
ers with her, and Moses sat apart an9
'ondered on how graciously the eyes
nay render thanks And he forgot
or awhile his musings Of Egypt and
bought how beautiful a land this was
Nth its tall hills and peaceful grazing
rounds. Then said low voice, close
eside him:
90, my lord!"
And Noses saw the girl before him
nee more, and she said:
"My lord, we whom you helped are
aughters of the priest of INDIAN; and
hen we did return, he questioned US
by we came earlier than was our
ont. Then my sisters told him of
our aid to US and how you drove the
lree away, and my father sent me
was his request-to see if perchance
ou yet were here and ask that you
freak bread with us this night"
Then Moses smiled gravely and he
id: !
81 will come-since your father :
ks it."
So together they went through the
Isk, Moses and the maid Zipporah
her fathers house; nor did he see
e sars were coming out. II
Now, if you will look in the thir6
apter of the Book of Exodus you
II find that the father-in-law of :
oses was the priest of indian.

If any town would make the town

KNIGHTS OF TO-DAY.

Boy Scouts are to be the knights
today Such as the desire and pu
pose of the men who back up tn
movement, which is now almost un
versal. Just as in the old days men
hers Of the order of chivalry took Il
part of the weak when they wei
oppressed by those who said tina
might made right, so now it is tn
spirit of scoutcraft that each boy sha
be ready at every opportunity to do
good turn and, consider himself tn
heir of ancient chivalry, combat dis
honesty and vice with every renew
ed effort.
In the "Oflicial Handbook of tn
Boy Scouts of America, the purpose o
the order is expressed in these words
The Boy Scout movement is
call 10 American boys today to be-
come in spirit members of the or
der of chivalry, and challenge
to them to make their lives count
in the communities in which they
live-for clean lives, clean speech,
clean sport, clean habits and clean
relationship with others. 1t is
also challenge TO them to stand
for the right against the wrong,
for truth against falsehood, to
help the weak and oppressed, and
to love and seek the best things
in life.
The boys may develop this spirit of
knighthood, they are urged to keep
before themselves at all times and to
make part of their lives the fol-
lowing scout virtues:
Unselfishness-- The art of
thinking of others first and ones
self afterwards.
Self Sacrifce-The giving up
of ones comfort, desires and
pleasures for the benefit OF some
one else.
Kindness-The habit Of think
ing well of others and doing good
TO them.
Friendiness--The disposition
to make everyone you meet feel
at ease and to be of service to him
if possible.
Honesty The desire to give
everyone a square deal and the
same fair chance that you your
self wish TO enjoy. 1t means also
respect for the property and
rights of others, the ability to
face the truth and to call your
own faults by their right name.
Fair Play-Scorning to take
unfair advantage of rival and
readiness even to give up an adj
vantage to him.
Loyalty-The quality of re-
manning true and faithful not on
ly TO your principles but also to
your parents and friends.
Observation-Disclosures with
the wishes Of your parents and
those IN places of authority.
Discipline-That self restraint
and self control that keeps boy
steady and help him in team
work.
Endurance--A manly modera- s
ton which keeps a boy fit and !
strong and in good condition.
Self Improvement-Th ambi-
ton to get on in life by all fair
means. v
Humanity-That fine quality v
which keeps a scout from boast {
ing, and which generally reveals $
boy of courage and achieve c
ment. q
Honor--That great thing which ?
is more sacred than anything else u
to scouts ard gentlemen; the dis "
dain of telling or implying an un- 81
truth; absolute trustworthiness e'
and faithfulness. h
Duty to God-fhat highest of al
all things, which keeps a boy in
faithful to his principles ard true re
to his friends and comrades; that h'
gives him a belief in things that W
are high and noble, and which to
makes him prove his belief by do pc
ing his good turn to someone ev- al
cry day.

WHAT OLD CAESAR DID.


When Caesar took an eastward ride
and grabbed the Gauls for Rome, what
was the first thing he did to make
them feel at home? Did he increase
the peoples loads and liberty forbid ?
No, he dug in and built good roads
that's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon
the foeman's breast, or did he try to
make them feel the Roman rule was
pest? What did he do to make them
glad he'd come their midst amid? He
built good roads in place of bad
that's what old Caesar did
He built good roads from hill to hill.
good roads from vale to vale; he ran
