conscious that he was nearing the last
of earth, he appeared to be fully i'm
pressed with the idea that at the end
of time eternity began, and that the
bright faith which sustained him dur
ing those trying hours of suffering
would only grow brighter and brighter
as he journeyed toward the Infinite,
and the final gloom of death be dispel-
led by the radiance of Gods love.
Could all live the just and upright life
that Mr.. Fling lived, and die in his
trusting faith, death could no longer
be called the "King of Terrors," for
he inspired no terror there. His death
has brought the bitter cup of sorrow
to the lips of friends and relatives. His
heart was heart Of gold. He was one
of natures noblemen in its truest
sense--brave, generous and manly.
His was the soul of honor, and his
friends and friendship were sacred to
him. He believed that the man who
scatters flowers in the pathway of his
fellowmen, who let's into the dark
places of life the sunshine of human
sympathy and human happiness, is fol-
lowing in the footsteps Of his Master.
From our midst has been taken an
other old and highly respected citizen
and his loss will be mourned by the
many friends. The Owl-Headlight
with it's many friends extend to the
relatives their deepest sympathy for
we know one has left US whose place
twill be hard to fill.

The Woman's Club at their regular
session Wednesday evening entertain
ed the men folks and had program
prepared for the purpose that was
very elaborate and enjoyable: The
program opened with a song-drill by
7 little maids costumed in colored
crepe paper. The little folks scored
hit by their unique costumes and
the perfect manner in which they sang
and went through their evolution. Mrs.
C. L. Smith then gave reading that
exemplifed the Inconsistencies of the
female mind. This was so true to life
that the benedicts present voiced their
appreciation by loud applause. Mrs.
F. John Christie gave an exhibition of
Indian Club swinging that was a reve-
lation to many, of the many graceful
movements involved in an exhibition
of this character. This was followed
by a comic drama in one act entitled
"Mrs. Willis's Will" This play por-
trayed the cupidity and duplicity of
the INSCRIPTIONS female and was re-
plete with situations that kept the
audience in a state of delightful sus-
pense every moment. Following was
the chast of characters:
Mrs. Robinson, representing Mrs.
Willis's EXecutrix-Mrs. Falconer.
Lady Spindle, absurdly naughty and
dignifed-Mrs. C. L. Smith.
Mrs. Dwindle, a poetess and lady of
fashion-Mrs. April.
Jenny, farm servant--Mrs. Strong.
Rachel, Mrs. Robinson's servant -
Mrs. Wood.
The different characters were por-
trayed in manner that would have
done credit to professionals.
The play scored a decided hit and
may we hope that from the abund-
ance of local talent in this community
, we may enjoy other efforts along this
line.
Following the play, Mesdames
Strong, Smith and April sang "This
is the Life" and responded to Wig
orous encore.
This was followed by the Butterfly
Drill" given by Mesdames Christie,
Livingston, April, Wood, Smith and
Strong. They were all costume to
typify the gauzy but beautiful butter
fly and their drill was the perfection
of grace and beauty.
The seven little fairies were then
recalled and again went through their
songs and the evolutions of their drill
to the delight of all present. The little
maids who took part in the drill were
Esther Sheehan, Thelyma Trace, Ag-
mes Miller, Vivian Edwards, Gladys
Miller, Martha Werner, Dorothy Fal-
| coner.
After the program the guests were
entertained by photograph selections
cards and visiting, followed by a de-
| licious lunch.
The evening was voted a pronounced
success. It is to be hoped that more
meetings along the line of neighbour
hood gathrings may be sponsored by
| the Woman's Club.

Mr.. Hennegan, for years employed
at the postoffice, heard that carrying
potato in ones pocket was good for
rheumatism. He had seen potatoes
that had been carried for years become
as hard as rocks. He placed potato
in his pocket recently, intending to see
if there was anything in what he had
heard, and after carrying it for few
days, the blamed thing began to grow.
Now Hennegan is Irish and has all
due respect for potato, but he OBJ
jects to raising spuds in that manner.
81 owned a dog, while holding down
North Dakota homestead, that &C
tually learned to chew tobacco. Why
that dog would watch me as I'd I'M
dress and place my trousers on a chair,
and do you know that dog would care
fully pull those trousers down off the
chair, extract plug of tobacco from
nv pocket and bite off a good sized
chunk of it. He'd sit there and chew
and chew on that tobacco just like a
man, said Mr.. Harmon, of the Cash
Feed & Fuel Store. He did not ex-
plain whether the dog expectorated IN
the cuspidor or not, or whether after
biting off a chew of the weed, he'd
put the plug back in the pocket, but
undoubtedly with little training, he
would have done all of that.
Mr.. Hussey listened to Mr.. Har-
mons tale of the dog, and then told
story about an equine that he had
seen that liked to dine on spring chick
en-. A number of nice spring fries
had disappeared mysteriously and it
was ascertained that the horse was in
the habit of visiting the roosting place
and pulling down a chicken from a
limb of the tree whenever he became
hungry for such a meal.

For two thousand years the chris
that the teachings of Christ had
broadened mans faculties for broad
er and higher life, and from gen
Grafton to generation the white race
were evoluting from barbarism ard
becoming more humane and broad
minded. For centuries England,
France, Germany and America have
been sending missionaries INTO newly
discovered territory to convert the
heather from his cruel ways and fol-
low in the footsteps of the lowly
NaZarene, and do unto others as you
would wish to be done by. When we
read the account Of the battle few
days ago between French, English
and German troops on the Aisne
river, we marvel at it all, and Won
der If civilization has progressed
since the days of Pharoh. Here in
the light of the twentieth century,
with all the intelligence we are sup
posed to have gained from the past,
We read of men facing their fellow
men for days using their guns,
swords and knives, each nation seek
ing to destroy as much human life
as possible to gain fancied surre-
macy. When We read of this inhu-
man and wanton bu.chery, sanctioned
by those supposed to be from the
most civilized powers on earth, we
fail to understand. We have been
taught to look with disfavor upon
the little brown man" owing to his
recent emersion from paganism, and
regard the cruelties of the Chinaman
as acts of heathenism. Nero is con-
demned by his readers for his want
on acts of lust and cruelty, but they
were no worse than those that are
now taking place in this supposed
intelligent and enlightened age of
the twentieth century. Let the world
no more boast of its great civiliz-
alton and enlightening powers.

The investigation of the Meat
Packers Association, now being held
before the congressional investigating
committee at Wasl ington. D. c., re-
garding high prices for meats. and
the cold storage of food products,
brought out some startling facts as
regards the handling of meats and
other products of necessity held in
cold storage. The great packing
house of Morris and company was re-
presented by w. B. Ferris, Swift and
company was represented by F. J.
Gardner, and the National Meat
Packers Association by G. L. McCar-
thy. The investigation discloses tie
fact that tie margins of profits be-
tween packer and iobber were nomin-
al and those between jobber and
wholesaler were not exorbitant, that
the great margin of profit lay with
the country retailer. 1t was also shown
that the system of cold storage en-
abled them to control uniform prices
on all perishable products, regardless
OF the law of supply and demand.

CIVIL SERVICE

Much ado is being made over civil
service by our present legislature and
while much can be said on the sub
ject in its favor, tn re is considerable
to be said why it is not practical.
The first is the manner and choice
of the civil service commission.
This body of men selected to judge
of the applicants, ability may be in
efficient themselves, and their list
of questions not germane to the case
in hand. An applicant may be able
to readily answer all questions pro-
pounded and still lack the executive
ability to successfully perform the
duties pertaining to the office. An
applicant may pass an examination,
and his fitness, as far as ability to
properly answer all questions are
concerned, be of the highest type,
Yet his character and integrity be
most deplorable. General Washing
ton when president of the United
States declared that he made fit
ness OF character, his primary object
in all his political appointments.
A banker would hastily discharge
an incompetent book keeper and the
contractor would soon discharge a
dissolute and incompetent mechanic.
Then why should a state officer, or
any other officer who holds pos
ition' of public trust, be obliged to re-
tain an irresponsible clerk, simply
OF, perhaps an incompetent civil SER
vice board? The theory of civil ser
vice, like the primary election law.
would seem right in theory, but
does not work to satisfaction in
practice.

According to Alva Swain, Denver

According to Alva Swain, Denver
correspondent for tie Pueblo Chief
tain, all Republicans were born Saints
and all Democrats sinners. In his
legislative bunk to that paper he
would lead the reader to believe that
the Republican members who are in
majority in that august body would
not think of taking in a nickle Cur
tbs Street theater" or even take
lodgings in a city block that con-
tained parlors that dispensed ANTI
dyspeptic" beverages, and would re-
fuse to discuss legislative business
with Democratic member for fear
Of filling his nostrls with that which
electrifies and inebriates second hand
ed. There may be good and sufficient
reasons for this good behavior as the
Republicans have been away from the
public crib for six years and their ex-
chequer perhaps is low, but let these
solons receive their first semi-an-
nual pay day and their decorum (as
of ODD will assert itself in seeking 6
the bright lights of the city's great
ness.
