Widely read, thorough, cultiva-

was of an uncompromising

Her long life reflected honor
upon her home city and her

strove and endured for her
religion and her country and
she was a gentlewoman who in
passing over the river leaves
to all her people the memory

SPRING IL NEAR.

De gentle spring am almost here
De sun am gettin high
De snow am gently slidin' out,
De ice begins to fly.
In thirty days, or tha abouts,
De grass will take its green;
An all Of us kin slosh aroun'
In April mud an rain.
De robin will begin to rob,
De bluebird will feel blue;
De crow will crow-bar on his way,
De buzzards buzz anew.
Now let us all feel proper glad,
An lose no time, indeed;
I'm castin' round among our friends
To borrow onion seed.

How to Choose q Spouse

Mrs. Charles Ellinwood, a So
cial worker, proposes the COM
mission plan. She would have
couples go before a commission,
the young girl to testify as to
her ability to cook, and the
young man to answer the fol-
lowing questions:
How long have you known
the young woman?
2-Where did you meet her q?
3-Why do you think you
love her?
4-How much money have
you in the bank?
5-What is your business?
6-How much do you earn
weekly?
lis your disposition good ?
Now the object of all agita-
tion of the marriage problem is
not so much to decrease the
number of marriages, as to see
that people are better mated, so
that the ties will not be broken.
But if only those of good dispo-
sitions are to be permitted to
marry, the number of those
taking the step will necessarily
be greatly decreased. An eX-
tended acquaintance on the part
OF the principals, the publica-
tions of banns or the necessity
of securing a license a certain
number of days before it could
be used Except in certain cases
where an immediate ceremony
is demanded), would be a check
on the hasty marriages which
so largely feed the divorce mill.

They Have Not Died i'm Val

They Have Not Died i'm Vain.
When we think of the loss of
such heroes as Scott and Oates
and the long list of other brave
men who have perished in polar
explorations, it is comforting
to feel that their lives have not
been thrown away in worthless
and reckless ventures. In a
letter to The New York Times.
Mr.. Waldermar Kaempfert,
managing editor of The Scien-
tlhc American, points out the
scientific and practical value of
such expeditions. The data so
gathered concern meteorologi-
cal and magnetic knowledge,
and when fully understood and
collated will contribute to the
comfort and safety of life. They
lead the way to long-range
weather forecasts, to seismolog-
ical predictions, to the more in
innate knowledge of ocean cur
rents; in short, to a variety OF
practical things that bear upon
everyday existence. The farm
er who hereafter knows a week
IN advance what the weather
will be, the mariner who is
torewarned against perils, the
nhabitant of the earthquake
zone who escapes with his life
because science can keep its
finger on the pulse of the world,
will all have to thank these ex-
plorers for the safeguards they
have thrown around mankind.

Greeley. Colo.-J. l.. Brush. former
lieutenant governor Of Colorado, died
at his home here after an illness OF
nearly two weeks. The contributing
causes were blood poisoning and pneu.
monis. Blood poisoning developed
from a scratch on his hand while he
was working in his garden two weeks
ago and the pneumonia was contract
ed about a week later. Governor
Brush was seventy-seven.
Members OF the family who were
summoned several days ago were at
his bedside when the end came. The
last of the relatives reached the city
barely in time to be recognized by the
dying pioneer. who lapsed into uncon-
seriousness for several hours preceding
the end. which came quietly as though
the patient were sleeping.
The funeral was held from the fam
lily home and was attended by people
from all parts of the state.
Governor Brush was closely identi-
fled with the history of northern Colo
rado. where he lived the greater part
of the time since crossing the plains
with an OK team in 1859. He began
his life in the West by mining in Rus
sell gulch. Later he freighted across
the plains and gradually drifted into
cattle raising and farming. The town
of Brush, in Weld county, is named
after him.
Two sons. two daughters and step
daughter survive. They are Jared L.
Jr of Greeley. Walter, sheriff of Logan
county; Miss Ada Brush and Miss Mar
garet Doolittle, stepdaughter OF Cali
fornia. and Mrs. C. E. Lester of Estes
