We have heard much of get rich
quick" schemes. but few of US have
found them to be Of practical value.
They are fine ideas. but they do not
work. Now. nice -get rich slow
scheme ought to succeed. A few days
ago man gave q certain city q thou.
sand dollars and told that city not to
use it for $50 years. At the end of
that time 1t will be something more
than nineteen million dollars II the
man who told the story figured 1t
right. There could not be an easier
way to be millionaire than that. Just
hang around $50 years and the money
Is yours.
OF course none of us could possibly
wait so long for 10 much money un.
less we were asleep. and that is just
the point. Somebody ought to fix up
an easy sort of . near poison which
would put US to sleep and the thing
would be done. That should not be
difficult. Such thing must have been
done at one time. because we all know
that q whole kingdom was asleep for
ever 30 long. and might still be asleep

asleep after Beauty was awake. And

closer to 1t. there was Rip Van Wrinkle.
who slept for 20 years. II he had not
been SO shiftless. and had put q little
money In the bank before he went to
sleep he might have been comfortable
for the rest OF his life.
And SO, If everybody who had
thousand dollars would put 1t in the
bank and take some sleep generator
he could wake up In $50 years or 200
years or a hundred years, according to
how rich he wanted to be, and would
be a millionaire Even If person did
not have thousand dollars to begin
with he could In the end have q few
millions. OF course II everybody was
going to be rich it might not be so
much fun. but we would get used to 1t
after a while. There would not be
any trouble about getting somebody
to stay awake and take care Of the
banks. for q great many people have
entirely too much money already and
. great many more would not take
chances Of losing what they had even
for $20,000.0OO.
There is just one serious drawback
to the scheme. and that may make 1t
impossible. What are we going to do
about the cost of living? Two hun
dred and fifty years is long time
and the cost Of living would grow 30
much in that time that $4,000, 900
would look like 19 cents instead of
like a thousand dollars. And no pow
er on earth can ever put the cost of
living to sleep.-New York Times.

In 1885 one Of the curious incidents of

q man who had travelled much and could
tell q good story, and was therefore
loved by the boys. died II was neces-
him. His coffin was put on . wagon and
the thirty cowboys Of the ranch lined up
two by two to see their friend to his last
resting place. The procession was pecu-
liar aud would have been worth going
many miles to see. On arriving at Gran
ada the boys discovered that they had
neglected the important factor of q min
lister. The station agent at that point
was discovered to have been churchman
and knew something of the mode usually
pursued in funeral services, and he was
requested to make few remarks and of.
fer prayer. The beloved friend and
storyteller of the boys was laid away with
genuine sorrow, for which the reckless
cowboy has always been noted. With
uncovered heads, sympathetic postures
and swelling hearts, they committed his
body to the earth and his spirit to God.
and the appeal to our heavenly Father,
made from the center Of the Great Ameri-
can Desert was probably as surely heard
as il the funeral sermon had been
preached by the greatest divine and Mo-
zart's Requiem Mass had been played.

in the comparatively early days, was
joke which a tenderfoot played on him.

friends have insisted that this story

When the irrigation company estab-
lished its headquarters at Holly, the man
referred to on the south of the track in
our weekly newspaper as ''the genial man.

have had some experience in riding hor-
ses on pisskin saddles. and Mr.. Koen be.
came convinced of the fact that he would
have him train q younS horse in the per-
lection of saddle saits. With that end in
view he offered our New York friend the
particularly handsome bay horse. FIVE
years old, called Dipper to be trained.
The manager went to work and in short
time got the horse to having very good
manners and felt that his training was
quite credit to his trainer. About this
time the trainer found himself very busy
in driving over the country, and it had
been as much as thirty days since Dipper
had had saddle on him
