Shovel Snow.

1t seems that we have a town ordi.
nance providing that property owners
must keepthe sidewalks along their prop
erty free from snow and, in case they
fail to do so, that the town marshall
can have the walks cleared and
have the expense charged up
10 the property. II this is
correct, it certainly would be 4 good
move for the town council to insist that
the walks be kept clear of snow. Men
can prepare to wade through snow but
it is pretty tough proposition for WON
en- and children to be under the neces-
sity of wading through snow on the
walks II property owners do not care
to get out before breakfast and swing
the srow shovel, there are plenty of
boys and men in the town who for rea
sonable consideration are willing to
wrestle with the snow

two ;are free days kept sacredly free

Of the bitterest desert-the love that
can make the wrong things right, that
can turn weeping into laughter, that
can give beauty for ashes. the garment
of praise for the spirit of hsaviness, Joy

The triumph of D. U.

| Friends Of the University of Denver
throughout the state will be much in
terested in the University Bulletin for
December, which contains the welcome
announcement that after sixteen years
of ceaseless endeavor the university
has secured cash and pledges to meet
the conditions of the proposed gift of
$lO0. 200 from the General Educational
board. After all these pledges are
collected and after the total gift from
the General Educational board is receiv
ed the university will have all debts of
every character paid in full. and will
have $400, 900 of new endowment With
this enlargement of endowment funds
the university can carry the present
budget of expenses, with small mar
gin for enlargement.
Although the University of Denver
bears local name, its service to the
community covers the full area of our
state and extends widely through the
entire Rocky Mountain region. 1t owes
its eXistance and its development large
ly to the support of the powerful and
always generous Methodist church. but
it has established and maintains high
reputation for broad and liberal stand
ards of education and of religion. AS
for its educational rank, that is fully
atested by the offer of the General Ed
ucational board, which selected it as
ore of the One Hundred American Col
leges and universities of first class
standing and Importance
Every such institution is, as rule,
the product of the energy of one man.

1nREATS AGAINST
IEp, SHERIFF F~SS
OF AR0~STy.K CO.

Danforth, Me-, March 2S.-What an.
pears to be an attempt to intimidate
Deputy Sheriff George E. Foss bv the
liquor dealers of this section has come
to light in a CHASTITY warning given his
officer,
he found last Thursday morning tied
TO the knob of the front door of his
house miniature coffin, upon which
was written. Let up or you will GET
what Hillman did"
me warning refers to what is gener
any supposed to be the fate of Deputy
Sherl1f Harold Hillman of Island Falls.
VINO has been missing since Dec. 81.
the theory being that he was muir
uered by one or more persons whose
liquor he had seized.
Inc conditions here are similar to
those in Island Falls, Deputy Sheriff
Foss' acting under instructor of Sheriff
Stlllman E. Woodman of Washington
county, has seized considera bic
quantity of liquor arriving at the
Maine Central station, and also raidei
number of places where he suspected
liquor was sold. In fact he has made
this section quite dry" and incurred
the bitter hatred of the liquor dealers.
The coffin found by Deputy Foss is
about a foot in length, painted black
and quite well made. evidently by
some one of considerable ingenuity.
Deputy Foss appears much less con-
cerned about 1t than the people Of the
village. and says he has no fears Of
violence and shall keep on doing his
duty, Selling all the liquor that he
can find which he believes Is intend
ed for illegal sale.
He Is an alert and fearless officer,
goes heavily armed, and has passed
around word that it will be dangerous
for any one attempting to get" him.
He says that he has a pretty good
idea where the warning came from,
and that it will take more than cot
fins to scare him off his job.
