II is said that forty or fifty Delta
citizens hied in automobiles down to
the border of Montrose county Mon
day forenoon to witness friendly
boxing bout for points between Nc
Carly, of local fame and young ath-
lete who is visiting friends in this
city from Denver. The matter was.
we understands purely one of sport
and so aroused the interest of those
who went to witness the bout. 1t
seems. however. that the gathering
was viewed with disfavor by someone
living near the ring-side. probably ,un-
der the apprehension that 1t was a
new-fangled war demonstration. and
IL is alleged that orders were given to
move on. These not being complied
with. II is further alleged that efforts
were made to obtain the names of
all those present. and to enlist the
aid OF the sheriff and his officers in
securing wholesale arrests. Some
hard feelinggs were created and one
or more invitations extended to the
interfering parties to try results In
genuine exhibitions of the manly art,
but all such were declined.

Good roads are an excellent good
thing and the inspiration should be
mainly with the people who work
them and those who use them most.
II is costing the tax payers of, the
counties of the state piles of money
each year for road work. This money
should be properly earned and the
road users should aid the highway
officials in seeing that the best and
most effective work is accomplished
with the money spent. 1t is too often
the case that a public job is looked
upon as time killer, but no more
dishonest view could taken of any
matter. The public worker should be
made to fully earn his money.

Most of the fishermen trying their
luck for trout on the Gunnison last
week made fair catches, though the
opening day was by far the best.
On Wednesday afternoon the weather
changed to colder and windy. the river
began to fall and to clear. preventing
the trout from taking any sort of lure
except ut rare intervals, Despite this
n few of the anglers made occasional
good catches, The river is record
low. while Mt this season last year
II was record high. both measurements
meaning at opening season. Fishing
In the Gunnison should improve quite
n bit this week and next. and will be
all the better because of the unfavor-
able conditions accompanying the
seasons opening. Last year the fish
were herded into the pools along the
banks by the high water. looking for
feed in the wnsh. and the catching
amounted to a slaughter. Most of the
big fish have been caught out of the
Gunnison by the persistent and over
fishing of the stream. A few years
ago II was not uncommon to hook two
to three Founders. but now It is rare
that one over pound or u pound and
n half is hooked. However half
pound and pound trout are still plen-
tiful. though the stream is by no
means stocked as II should be each
year.

The statistics Of insanity show that
the minds Of men and women are often
made aberrant through the steady
drive of environment, in which the
simple life and the squirting city life
are equally at fault. The figures show
the per capita Of insanity differs little
In city and country. Rural solitude and
the abnormal life of the city are alike
responsible for mental diseases. It is
as bad for man to be too much alone
as it is for him to be surrounded by
p%erfervid life. The history Of the race,
the inquiries Of Investigators and the
judgment of specialists in the diseases
of mind and body tell us that the we'll

An interesting tale surrounds the
placing OF this stone in its present
upright position. 1t is related that
Godfrey on Monmouth said that the
devil bought some stones Of an old
woman in Ireland, wrapped them up
In withies and brought them to Sails
bury plain. Just before he got to
Mi. ANDRE the withies broke and one
Of the stones fell into the Avon; the
rest were carried to the plain. After
the fend had fixed them in the ground
he cried out, mo man will ever find
out how these stones came here" A
friar replied, That's more than thee
can tell" ~whereupon the fiend threw
one OF the stones at him and struck
him on the heel. The stone stuck in
the ground and is said to remain there
to the present hour.

The Burns cottage at Ayr is under
the charge Of trustees, who purchased
it in 1881 from the Ayr Shoemaker
Incorporation for the sum Of $4,000.
The birthplace Of the poet had up till
that time been in use as a public
house. The trustees abandoned the
license and after a time removed
a hall and other extraneous buildings
which had been added to the premises,
and restored the cottage buildings as
nearly as possible to the state they
may have been in in Burns time. A
new e VAS built at the north

Why Boards Have Knots.

Some boards have knots because
they are made from trees having many
branches. The knot in the board Is
part Of the root of the branch in the
trunk of the tree. When you see a
knot it means that before the tree was
cut down and the log sawed up into
boards, a limb was growing out from
the inside of the tree at the spot
where the knot occurs. The wood in
the knot is harder than the rest Of the
board because more strength is need.

part of it growing in the tree than in
other parts. This is necessary to make
the branch strong enough to support
not only itself, but also the smaller
limbs growing out from it.

Ozone.

The air of mountains possesses a
greater amount of ozone than that
of the seashore. What particular eff
feet ozone may have upon the health
of mar has not yet been clearly made
out. In some directions 1t seems to
be absolutely injurious. There is
good evidence to show that it is often
productive Of bronchial affections, and
especially Of influenza. During cpl
denies of this disease an Increased
amount Of ozone has been found in
the atmosphere. On the other hand,
there is no doubt that ozone is a great
purifier Of the atmosphere, and it is
perhaps owing to the increased
amount Of this agent in the air OF
mountain regions that its salubrity is
in a great measure due.

How Billiard Balls Are Constructed.
Do you who play billiards ever
wonder how the balls are made? The
best material is the tusks of COW ele-
plants. Their tusks are not so curved
as those of the male, and the fine

clearly. When ivory dries, say those
who make the balls, it shrinks. The
shrinkage is greater in width than it
is in length, in the case Of the tusk.
Billiard balls, after being turned in
