That a city official should be shown
no more leniency than the humblest
citizens when he violates city ordi-
nance, is the belief of Mayor Charles
McKesson of Colorado Springs, which
explains why he was fined 81 in the
police court of his city Saturday for
using water for irrigation outside or
dinance hours. The mayor was wa
tering his lawn and watching ten
mis- game at the same time and he
failed to note that the hands of the
clock pointed to 1907. Suddenly his
telephone rang and the water COM
missioner reminded him that he had
used city water seven minutes over
time. The mayor presented himself
at the office of the police magistrate,
plead guilty and paid his fine.

Last week the forest service open
ed up the old trail from the Bond
house up the Navajo river to timber
line, or just below Blue lake. 1t is
now an excellent pack trail and af-
fords lot of fishing all along the
route, besides Blue lake. Since the
flood this trail has been impossible
1t was so bad that in places the tim
ber was racked up as high as fifteen
feet. A part from the fishing the trail
has some fine scenic attractions, such
as the Navajo falls, one-eighth of a
mile north OF the trail and the Serrate
Angostora ridge. All that the service
asks travellers to do is to be very
careful to extinguish their camp fires.

Tower of London.

Stories That Come From the Historic
Tower of London.
Two stories of the intelligence and
sympathy Of our feline friends were
told me during one Of my numerous
visits to the Tower of London while
was living In England.
Southampton was a prisoner in the
Tower with the Earl of Essex during
Elizabeth's reign. In some strange way
or by some unrecogniZed faculty ia
vorite cat of his found his abode and
suddenly appeared to him, having made
an entrance down the chimney. After
his release by James l., Southampton
had his picture painted with his faith
full friend at his side. The portrait.
abbey
The other tale is of Sir Henry Wyatt,
who was committed to the Tower dur
ing the reign of Richard III. and suf-
fered much from want of clothing and
food He would have persisted II a cat
had not come down into his room and
warmed him by lying on his breast
and saved him from starvation by
bringing him an occasional pigeon
caught on the leads Although the
keeper was under orders not to i'm
prove his food, he agreed to cook any
thing which Sir Henry provided, and
the pigeons which the cat brought
saved his life. He also had picture
painted showing the cat offering pig
con through the bars of his cell.-Our

MOCK WINDOWS.

They Were Common In England When
Real Ones Were Taxed.
The window tax in England, very
old tax commencing in the reign of
William Ill, was not discontinued un-
til Lord Halifax changed it to the
house duty In 1851.
1t must have caused a great amount
Of consumption, anaemia and other foul
air maladies, for In 1850 there were
only an average of six windows in
English houses. Indeed, the British
architects are not yet free from the bad
influence of this tax.
In very many old houses in England
today there may be seen mock windows
painted on the walls for symmetry
hideous things. Not only were glazed
windows taxed, but any hole In the
wall was included. Indeed, In the early
days only very rich people in England
had glass windows. and so precious
were these that they were carried from
one house to another when people
moved their quarters
Curious lodges were practiced to es-
cape the tax, such as extending one
window across two houses or making a
very wide division between two panes
of glass. The loss to the nation must
have been hundredfold the revenues
collected from this bad tax.-Boston

MATURING THE PULLErs.

When young stock show sex they
should be separated. and the pullets in
their bachelor quarters should have
special care to bring them to splen-
did maturity. and by this we mean
they should be built into strong hens
that are prime layers, that are stay
ers and payers. These pullets should
be divided into flocks and quartered in
open front houses at such a distance
apart that they will not mix, and
they should have a well drained range
among the fields. woods. orchards,
where they get green food and natural
protein from bugs and wigglers.

have airy quarters. They should not
