A Word From Afar.

The many friends of w. M.
Ellis will be pleased to hear a
word from him in the far off
fields Of southern Alaska. He
writes Mrs. Ellis that he is en-.
joying life as well could be eX-
pectcd in a mining camp SO far
from the fathcrland and is well.
The sun rises at 3 O'Clock this
time of year and sets at 8, and
it never gets real dark. Straw
berries are only so cents a dish.
Mr.. Ellis is experimenting some
mining property which his bro
ther owns. He gets the Enter
prise and says it is great to be
be able to keep so well posted
on how things are going at home.

The best rain Of the season
fell Tuesday night over this sec
ton and did untold benefit =. to
pastures and growing crops.
While the precipitation was
heavy here, it is reported to have
been much heavier north and
west Of town. There was no
wind or thunder storm with it, a
fact that was greatly appreciat-
cd. While general good will re-
suit, there has been Il great deal
Of damage done to the wheat,

in front of the homes are being
cut and the premises present a
neat and attractive appearance.
However there are many vacant
lots that need attention and there
are many weeds in the streets
and on the banks of irrigating
bitches that should be cut. Re-
member conclave week is only
a few weeks ahead and we may
expect a few visitors who may
go away and talk about us. If
our streets are well-kept and our
homes are neat and attractive
they will go away and say what
a nice place Arvada would be to
live in, the streets are clean and
everyone seems to take a pride
in their home" But unless we
give attention to these matters
they will go away and say ugly
things about us, and that hurts.
Two or three days work for a
man with a sythe would accom-
plish wonderful transformation
and let's do it early enough so
that our visitors won't think that
we went to all that bother for
them, but that we keep clean all
the time which we do, we be-
lieve, as consistently as most
towns of this size.
Marshall Newcomb informs US
that it is the intention of the city
to get after the weeds in the
streets in a very few days. They
will use a team and mower where
yer practical and in hooks and
corners a man will be employed
to cut them with a sythe.

Horse Runs Away.

A horse belonging to Frank
Jasper and being driven by VIII
Feland, who is tending some of
Jasper's land, furnished some
excitement by running away a
bout $3.50 this morning.
Mr.. Feland drove into town
and while he was prepar-
ing to hitch the animal, an
engine on the C. & S. let off,
steam. Mr.. Feland was reach
ing for the hitching strap in the
buggy, when the horse started
and before he could grab the
lines was going down Grandview
at a merry clip, running west
from Juchem's store. At Wads-
worth the buggy took a hitch
over an iron post and the horse
and fills went on. The buggy
turned turtle and the horse fell
on his side in the road. He then
jumped up and carrying the fills
balanced across his back, ran tC
SCOTS blacksmith shop and stop
ped.

Captures Poisonous Reptile.

Mr.. Alexander, the grocer,
discovered a terrantuler Wednes-
day in a bunch of bananas which
had been hanging in his window
two or three days. He went to
cut off a bunch and just happen
ed to see something move. He
had seen many of this species of
dangerous reptiles and took no
chances. He took the bunch of
bananas out on the cement side
walk where it was a curiosity to
a group of men and boys who
soon gathered around. He was
called back into the store to wait
on a customer and when he re-
turned some boy had succeeded
in coaxing the reptile into a
bucket and carried it away and
we understand intends to pre-
serve it in alcohol.

were previous to the recent
rains.

1t is much easier TO lead people than
TO drive them. We often hear it said
that a person was "driven to destruc.
tion." AS rule this person was led to
destruction. There are so many snares
aud pitfalls in the highway of life,
and SO many are lurcd to destruction
by those who enjoy seeing Others
brought to their own level. II is well
to remember that only the good be-

TT WAS q bright day when I started
for Fairhaven with my brother.
- My mother and father had gone
ahead and were waiting for Us at our
summer cottage. During my stay
there l had most exciting experience.
The day on which this happened
was cloudy and looked very much like
rain: but In spite OF this my brother
and | started out fishing.
AS the bay was not rough we rowed
out into deep water. I had Just low.
cred my line when felt a feeble Jerk
at the end. Pulling 1t up found q
small perch the size OF my finger. I
was about to throw 1t back into the
water when a thought struck me, why
not put 1t on my line and try to catch
pike with it? So this l proceeded
to do.
had not waited long when felt q
vicious tug at the end. I attempted
TO pull 1t up, but could not; by rod
was bent almost to the breaking point
and the line on my reel had nearly all
run out. Suddenly the fish made q
mad rush for the boat, allowing me
to wind considerable slack line. | was
determined, however, not to lose my
urlze SO | permitted the fish to tire
itself out. Bye and bye It's rushes be-
came less furious and In about half
an-hour 1t lay In the bottom of the

less than FIVE pounds. was very

his studio.
One of his most beautiful pictures ID
Angels Heads" 1t Is the picture of
little Miss Frances Gordon, the daugh.
ter OF Lord William and Lady Gordon.
She was a beautiful child with golden
hair, blue eyes, and very sweet little
mouth.
When Reynolds saw her he noticed
her angelic features, and decided to
paint her as an angel She posed for
him In five OF her sweetest positions.
He grouped the five little cherubs in
circle, placing cloude az q back
ground.
The little head In the lower left
shows her as she is looking at some
object In the studio. while that above
II looks as II she were puzzled. In
the two upper heads the lips are part.

falls across the countenances, they
seem to be singing carols and looking
into another world. The head In the
foreground II looking directly out of
the picture.
Lady Gordon was much pleased
with the painting. Instead Of having
one portrait preserved on canvas. she
had FIVE Of her dear little girl In her
sweetest moods
Ten years after the death of Miss
Gordon. the picture was presented to
tho national art gallery at London. II
is one of the most beautiful and best
preserved Of all Sir Joshua Reynolds
paintings.
