ter Then she thought of her life
with her uncle in dark apartment
In the streets of the city. She knew
that, in a way, it was a false idea Of
duty that would take her back. Yet
she had to go, some force that was
In her seemed impelling her.
The wind blew in great blasts
against the little house, the snow had
drifted up to the window sills, and
white lines of it pointed across the
window pane like ghostly fingers.
Dragging footsteps came up the path.
Nell listened. 1t was not Jack Nor
ton; these were the steps of an old
man. From the door voice Quavered:
"'Are you there, Nell?"
Uncle" she said, fearfully, ''how
did you come here?"
81 met young man down the
road" he said. 81 wanted him to
guide me to the McGregors. He told
me you were here.

old man went on, when she had made

"Are you going back with me?"
Now that she was face to face with.
his meanness, it seemed to Nell that
she could never go with him.
/ 81 don't know" she faltered.
Here's a grateful girl" the old
man stormed, and just then the
sleighbells jingled and. in another
moment Jack Norton was in the
room, his arms full Of bundles, his
eyes beaming.
$50 this is your uncle" he said.

here. You'll stay and have supper

'T?' Jacks eyes flashed from NelPs
covering figure to the grtmness OF
the uncle. Then suddenly he took
things in his own hands.
'Tm the man your niece is going
to marry" he said.
"Whatln the old man shouted.
I'm the man your niece is going
TO marry" he said securely. He had
seen the joy in Nelps face.
''But she is going home with me"
Jack Shook his head. mo. she is

exactly one day later Even if you do
not keep the sun over you on your
voyage, it is apparent that you will
reach your starting point with your
calculations one day out, unless you
have provided for this by striking out
an extra day on the calendar. If you
travel against the sun you will have
to add a day to the calendar.
The convention that has been estab-
lshed with regard to this matter is to
consider the day as beginning at the
180th meridian, so that the 181st
meridian is always day ahead of the
179th. AS the day begins first at the
180th meridian, the New Year comes
first at that point, too, being there
twelve hours sooner than it comes at
Greenwich.

They piled it up to here.
1t must have taken awful long
To count just once year.
They tell me when go to bed
The last December night,
I'll have to go without meal
Until the next years light.
Some people think they're awful
smart,
But know what they mean;
The next year has to be next day
There's nothing in between.
A New Years days a happy time
For almost every one
1t seems a sort of start of things,
With nothing quite begun,
And everybody's feeling young
And spry, just like boy,
I bore your happy New Year, win
Be spilling-full Of joy.

Interesting Letter

"A ietleF udLeQ req. otn, Written TO
Dr.. H. J. O'Bryan by Mr.. Jacob Ritz,
who is now at Cologne, Germany,

like spring. People are very good
natured in Cologne, and they are all
out for a good time. The ladies and
gentlemen go together to cafes and
saloons where a big band is playing
and 1t is a regular concert. Carnival
is just past this week. There are
three days Of carnival-Sunday, Mon

like crazy. Men and are sing

ness is pretty good here, everybody
seems to do well. Especially during
carnival days people spend a lot OF
money, as though 1t had no value at
all. On carnival Monday was a great
masked parade consisting of about Is
wagons, each pulled by six artillery
horses, and the drivers are soldiers
dressed in uniforms of old Cologne
fashions. In the front of each wagon
is a military band, also dressed in
carnival uniform. A hundred thous.
and people attend the parade, most OF
them masked, and all of them in the
best of humor, drinking champagne,
etc, and many men and women are
on horseback. The last wagon was
designated the Prince Carnival, elect.
ed by the first class people of Cologne,
who are able to spend, perhaps, 100,
900 marks for this day alone. An,
other great day was the celebration
of the German emepror's birthday,
when all the soldiers of Cologne, about
10000 men-infantry, cavalry and ar.
tillery-hold a great parade. + wish
your wife was here and know she

CLAIMS 600 FEET

Colorado has remained for long
time the principal exception among
the states in the matter of the width
of mining claims says Mining Science.
While the federal statute permits pre-
emption OF ground to the extent OF
300 feet on each side of the apex
of the lode, the width in Colorado
was years ago limited by the legis-
lature to $50 feet on each side OF
the lode, while in four counties, Gill
pin, Clear Creek, Boulder and sum-
NIT, the width had been establish
ed at rs feet on each side by VIZ
tue of local regulations. Two years
ago the Colorado legislature raised
the limit in these four counties to
total of 800 feet, which then cor
responded with the rule in the 9th
er mining districts of the state The
last assembly took another addition
al step by raising the limit for all
districts, except those in the four
counties mentioned to a total OF SOC
feet, which is the rule in all other
states except North Dakota. 1t is
still left to the option Of the voters
of any of the four counties in the
list of exceptions to increase the
width of their mining claims. Any
one who already possesses a location
of deficient width may, under the
new law. secure the benefit of the
change by filing an additional certi
ficate claiming the greater surface
rights. The question may arise as
to whether this last provision will
opearte without trouble between al
claimants having contiguous ground

USING PARCEL POST

The fruit growers of Colorado are

weight for "a cents. A whole car
load Of boxes of fruit weighing ~
pounds each was shipped from Duran
go the other day, each box costing
but "a cents, a great reduction over
express or freight rates. 1t is said
that the railroad company had to seal
up the car on the orders of Uncle
Sam in order to be sure of delivering
the shipment. Uncle Sam is sure 60
ing to make the railroads and the
express companies go some if they
want to keep the business. Fruit
growers around Montrose are prepar-
ing to guage their boxes SO that they
will weigh less than 20 pounds. for
all points within the 200mile zones.
They can ship fruit in this manner

TURN To THE MODERN STEPS
Writer Thinks Nevada Indians Badly
Advised In Forsaking Tribal
Dance for Turkey Trot.

The once noble red man has suf-
fered much at the hands Of his pale
face conqueror. He has exchanged
his hunting grounds for reservations.
he has traded the warpath for the
trail around the bases. In place of
the forest primeyal he now iahab bits
the circus tent. He has bartercd a
continent for firewater and trousers.
AS If this were not enough. the
tragic news comes from Nevada that
he has sounded still another depth Of
ignominy. Abandoning his tribal
dances, he has taken up the turkey
trot.
Before this revelation all the old
illusions as to the dignity and self
respect of the American Indian fell
with a crash. Not even the most per-
fervid admirer of Hiawatha's people
can picture them In the mazes of the
trot without a shudder. A turkey
trotting Indian deserves no greater
respect than a turkey-trotting pale
face clerk.
Why the red man should seek to
change the ghost dance for the trot,
thc bHuhC udhSc LII Vic UuuIy mug
or the fire dance for the grizzly bear
is mystery. While the Indians an
cient gyrations may be a triie more
dignified than the latest menagerie
movements. they are only slightly less
barbaric than the dances which now
hold the floor in polite circles. The
difference in savage energy Is hardly
worth the substitution.
With Terpsichore gone mad. we
may look for an early retaliation by
the dansant paleface for the raid
which the Indian has made upon his
dances. The snake dance and the
warwhoop will be taken. In turn. and
made part Of the turkey trotter's 8
repertoire. Even at this late date Lo.
