find a thoroughly satisfied lot,
prosperous and industrious and
all looking to greater things in
the future for themselves and
the community as a whole.
Scores of them could be cited
who, few years ago possessing
only a few implements, and some
of them bought on time, are now
among the states influential and
a1uent citizens.
A group of farmers with a
scientific turn of mind haye done
wonders about Limon and the
surrounding country is covered
every year with heavy crops of
grain and vegetables. Land that
was formerly worth $1.25 an acre
is now held at from $40 to $40 an
acre. Lifnon also has an acqui-
sition that could be desired and
the practice Of intensive farming
has greatly enhanced the holo-
ings of the settlers.
Few eastern Colorado counties
outshine Lincoln, of which Hugo
is the county seat. Hugo, with
a population of 1,200, is destined
to be one of the more important
towns in the state. Where but
a half dozen years ago the coun-
ty was not thickly enough set
tled..to justify rural free delivery
routes, hundreds of families now
enjoy this dispensation of Uncle
Sam and are constontly in touch
with the outer world.
In the last four or five years
large quantities of land have been
homesteaded near Agate, which
is twenty-five miles west of Lii
mon, and Agate is now the CEN
ter of much business that has
developed within the last few
years.
The transition from stock rails
ing to farming is perhaps most
remarkable at Deer Trail, fifty
six miles east of Denver, where
the great ranges have been so
cut up with fences that the farm
ing acreage is now in the major
ity and destined soon to cover
the whole landscape. Other
rhriving centers are Byers, for
ty-three miles from Denver, and
Bennett, thirty-two miles out,
where scientific farming is fast
transforming the erstwhile des-
ert into productive fields that add
their quota to the business OF
Denver.
In tie develoyement Of all this
territory the Union Pacific first
spent millions of dollars, its man
ayers knowing full we'll that it
would be years before the coun-
try through which the line lay
would reward the investors, but
now, that reward is at hand, and
with it the resultant reward to
Denver in added products and
wealth from the ground-the
things that keep a city alive.
This is only one line of the
Union Pacific that was put
through virgin territory tributary
to Denver. The Julesburg line
has long ben one of the most
productive regions of Colorado
and the new line recently opened
to Fort Collins has opened anoth-
er empire. The older line to
Greeley and Cheyenne has for
years been one of the most valu-
able feeders Denver has had and

point OF view Of beauty, or trade. or
size, or antiquity; we are simply con-
siderlng the point with regard to fame
and renown, whatever be its cause, as

degree of popularity And. taking that

rule out Whitehall and oxford street

similarly the Nevski Prospect and the
Rue de Rivoli may be left out of the

we may however reluctantly, put II

can omit that also from further consid-

In the Nursery.

There is a distinct knack in the
method of lifting and holding the
baby.
Both hands should be used, for In
stance, in lowering the baby from the
lap to the bath. For the greatest COM
fort, one hand should support the
baby's back, while his head rests
upon the lower arm or wrist.
The legs and lower part of the
child's body are lifted with the other
hand.
Before putting the baby into the
bath wash the child's face and head
so that no soapy water can get into
his eyes or mouth.
Not every mother has the art of
making her lap comfortable When
dressing the baby it is best to sit in
low rocking chair without arms,
with one foot upon a stool in order to
deepen the hollow in which the child
| lies.
II a child's feet grow tired in warm
weather they should be rubbed with
salt and bathed in cold water. A hot
bath and daily massage is also bene-
fetal.

IDEA WELL WORTH COPYING
Rugs Of coIored Rope, Popular in
France, inexpensive and
Peculiarly Pretty.

In Paris one lives out Of doors so
much that there are always new crea-
tons for the gardens and porches and
the many terraces in the country
where one finds the table set for a
meal.
Among these new things is a large
circular rug made in a simple design
of COLI borEope.
The bet tai hempen color is used
for thSr pufder and the circular cen
ter, anspost ween are huge sailor knots
of red IS 20. 9,pr blue rope. The eff
feet is II theresgtiVe.
There kht tsotSpn why these rugs
cannot be copied by women who like
such things and know where to get
them done. Rope is easily bought and
easily dyed in the preferred colors,
and there are places in most towns
where sailorlike work is done.
Remember, the rug is open in its de-
sign. 1t resembles q coil Of rope and
loops such as one would see on the
dack of a yacht. II may have been
first used on someone's yacht and rap
idly have become the fashion for coun.
try houses.

RANGE LIGHTS.

A hundred years ago the hands OF
ancient privilege were at the throat
OF the republic. Our ships we're
seized and searched. American citi-
zens were impressed into an allen
service. Our capital was burned. De
spair was clutching at our hearts.
The British guns were not our great
est peril, but the love Of money in
the seaboard states. Six thousand of
our men were enslaved in British
ships, but the patriotic indignation
that stirred the rural communities did
not touch the heart Of the states that
made their money on the sea. The
sense of brotherhood was smothered
In the love of money.
Now, as then, the love Of money
houts the love Of men. The yellow
patriotism of gold sneers at the strug-
giles OF the people for q fair chance.
Let them be wTetched; let them be
drunken, It says, while exploit their
savings for my own use, and turn
their earnings into my own tills.
This, too, will pass-is passing.
This will be the land OF the fair deal.
This is the land of opportunity.-Joh
G. Woolley.

DRAWN OVER FALLS

cannot. In the months of September
and October such abundant quantities
of dead water fowl are found every
morning below the fall on the shore,
that the garrison of the fort for long
time live chiefly upon them; besides
the fowl they find also several sorts
of dead Rsh, also deer, bears and other
animals which have tried to cross the
water above the fall; the larger ami
amls are generally found broken to
pieces. / was told at Oswego

| asked the French if this was true.
They told me they had never seen
such thing; but that if the feathers
we're picked off the dead birds, there
might be such a quantity"
Toward the close of the eighteenth
century Isaac Weld, Jr., made the
| following observations: Having
reached the margin of the river, we
proceeded toward the great fall, along
the strand, which for a considerable
part of the way thither consists Of

where great piles of stones have fallen

places extend very far into the river,

Of the current, and occasion strong
eddies along particular parts of the

bodies of fishes, squirrels, foxes and
! various other animals, that, unable TO
stem the current of the river above
the falls, have been carried down
them and consequently killed, are
washed up. The shore Is likewise
found strewed with trees, and large
pieces of timber, that have been
swept away from the sawmills above
the falls and carried down the preci.

shattered, and the carcasses OF all
the large animals, particularly of large
fishes, are found very much bruised

Great Sacrifice of Animal Life in

the Seethlng Flood.

New York.-The Niagara pitfan or
swan trap" as appropriately dubbed
at present, deservedly claims con-
siderable attention from the local
ornithologists of that region, and their
reports have always been read with
decided avidity in pathological cir
cles. These observers, as do others
more remote, rue the fact Of this al
most yearly sacrifice, yet they feel
their helplessness. With many birds
and animals, it has been an ever re-
curing phenomenon which has been
noted more or less irregularly in the
historical literature of this country
These dozens or more buried notes
from sources not always easily aces
sible to all biologists may be OF
enough pertinent historical interest
to warrant their collection in one
article, Albert Hazen Wright says in
Forest and Stream.
The first and most extended account
is from letter by Peter Kahn, who
wrote September 2, 1850, that several
of the French gentlemen told me that
when birds come flying into this fog
or smoak of the fall, they fall down
and perish in the water; either be
cause their wings become wet, Of
that the noise of the fall astonishes
them. and they know not where tt

And very often great flocks Of then
are seen going to destruction in thi
manner; they swim in the river allow

cases below the falls. Some years
ago a large deer was seen for two or
three weeks wading a short distance
into the rapids from this island, and
retreating. He had been drifted down
from above, and not knowing the safe
passage to the shore, he no doubt was
carried over the falls Volley says
that he found at the bottom OF thu
precipice the carcasses Of some deer,
and wild bears which the current had
hurried down the cataract on them
attempting to swim across the river
above it.

London.-Which are the twelve
most famous streets IN the world? The
question Is extremely difluult to de.
termine,. for there are two or three
factors to be taken into account, fac
tors which the average man is apt to
overlook when trying to solve the
problem. For one thing. a street. to
come within this category, must be
well known TO folk OF every civilized
nation. and not merely to those OF the
country Il belongs 70. For another.
there must be a consensus Of expert
opinion at least that this street is
worthy OF being reckoned among the
worlds leading thoroughfares In any
case; and thirdly. the name Of such a
street. wherever the road may be.
must be one which men and women
recognize as soon as they hear II, or
at any rate II must be thus recognized
by a very large percentage Of travel
ers, readers and educated people.
Taking those characteristics as our
guide, says a writer in the London
Weekly Telegraph, It is probable that
the following list OF twenty includes
all the best known streets in the world,
and from these the dozen most famous
streets would doubtless have to be
chosen. The twenty celebrities of
this sort include:
Regent street, London.
Oxford street, London.
Strand, London.
Fleet street, London.
Cheapside, London.
Whitehall, London.
Princes street. Edinburgh.
o'Connell street, Oxford.
High street, Oxford.
Champs Elysees, Paris.
Rue de Rivoli, Paris.
Inter den Linden, Berlin.
Avenida, Lisbon.
Foochow road, Shanghai.
The Bund, Shanghai.
Nevsh Prospect, st. Petersburg.
Collins street, Melbourne.
Burke street, Melbourne.
The Broadway, New York.
Fifth avenue. New York.
These include, as will be seen, nine
British streets, two French streets
two American streets and one each in
Russia, Portugal and Germany. II
may be taken as certain that no trav
eler or person whose opinion was
based on real knowledge would deny
the claim Of these twenty to be reck
oned among the most famous streets
Of the world, however much 1t might
want, or suggest, the inclusion in that
category Of one or two others he ia
vored.
Hence, from this list think we
should be able to pick out the chief
dozen after some trouble. We are moi

STRIKING COMPARISON.

Comparisons are never odious when
they show things up in a way to
bring out the right side Of question.
Note the following conditions in dry
Kansas and wet Missouri:
The per capita assessed valuation in
Missouri is $500; In Kansas It is ST.
$50.
Kansas per capita bank deposit is
800; Missouri's is $40.
In Kansas one farmer in FIVE owns
an auto; in Missouri one farmer in 100
has one of the buzz wagons.
In Kansas the common laborer
draws $14 a week; in Missouri, IS.
In Kansas there is hardly a town Of
1900 population but has electric

Missouri numbers of towns of 1000
to 5000 have no paved streets, electric
