Swat the Mother-in-law

New York, N. V, April 22-The
wife's mother must never come face
to face with her son-in-l law, and both
must use every honorable means to
avoid meeting at any place after the
marriage has taken place, according
to tribe law of the Blackfeet In
dians, Sergeant William Dudley, an
old Indian fighter Of the United States
Marine corps, now retired, told COM
rades of the George F. Elliott camp
of the Spanish war veterans, at a
meeting last night.
"And yet the plain Indian is point
ed out as a horrible example of saw
agery," Dudley went on. mo, sir, the
Blackfoot is the original pacifist and
the mother-in-law custom proves It,"
Sergeant Dudley, United States Ma
rine corps, retired, admits that he has
himsilf been married three times.

The Flutes Of April

Don't you hear the flutes OF April calling
Gear and calling cool
From the crcsts that front the morning
from the hidden valley pool.
Runes of rapture half forgotten, tunes
wherein old passions rule.
Passions for the sweet earth beauty, hidden
long and hidden deep
Underneath the seal Of silence In the waists
of winter sleep,
Now unleashed and now unloosened once
again to pulse and leap!
Don't you hear the flutes of April, like the
ancient pipes of Pan,
summoning each slumbsring kindred, sum-
moning each browsing clan,
Sounding far borne reveille to the Iaggard
heart Of mani
Bidding every seed to quicken, bidding
every root to climb,
Thrilling every thew and fiber rs with some
ecststic rhyme,
Setting floods Of sap to dancing upward In
triumphant time!
Don't you hear the flutes of April blowing
under sun and star,
Virginia. as in the dawniug. tender as dim
twilights are,
With the vital breath Of being poised to
every rythmic barr
With their magic devination, presciencc OF
a1ithings fair,
With their magic transmutation, gourtion
for each soul to share.
Don't you hear the flutes OF April waited
down the April sir:-New York SUM-.

Ranch Deals

The buying and selling Of farms Is
picking up. Last week, +. J. Wilson
sold his White River ranch to Joe
Wharton, and J. N. Tilford sold his
place to John Quinton. Both trans
fers were made through the T. b.
Scott real estate agency.
1t will be remembered that . short
time ago, John Quinton sold his place
In the Little Beaver section and left
for the outside to seek another loca-
ton. After travelling all over the
eastern, southeastern and southern
part OF the state, including the San
Luis valley, Mr.. Quinton wrote, last
week to Agent Scott, to buy the Til
ford place for him, sending . part Of
the purchase price In order to cincl,
the trade.
The Quinton experience tells its
own tale.

What's the Gamer

Under the above heading, WASH
ington correspondent says:
A-lot of "clever ideas" have been
born in New York recently, all of
which were supposed to furnish a
very plain way by which the country
might nominate . candidate from
New York. After all that has been
said and written concerning the wis
dom and power Of Wall street, it Is
extraordinary to find how stupidity
the big business interests work. As
an instance the Union League club
has butted In and endorsed Mr.. Root
for president. The public simply re-
spends with the question: whats
the gamer Mr.. Estabrook, whose
first name we have forgotten or never
have known, runs for president from
New York, but to take out a little of
the sting, claims to be from Nebraska.
Again the public simply responds
"Very good, what's the game?' A
hundred or more of the biggest news
papers Of the country carried paid
advertisements for one Of the Du-
Points, who is running for president.
The public smiled curiously and re-
marked that the thing smells too
much like powder. Again they asked {:
whats the gamer
Colonel Roosevelt pulls q new stunt
every day In his attempt to pin tag
on the Republican elephant. The
people always had hard time in fol-
lowing the Colonel, and they are not
sure yet IS to his exact party identi-
ty. So they want to know about
some Of his games too.

Steamboat Sends Elk to Canon
City Park

The city park at Canon City, Colo.'
has been furnished with collection OF
IA head of elk, as fine herd as there
Is alive in the country today. through
donations made to that community
by the state f1sh and game department
and the town of Steamboat Springs.
The ii head that have been confined
in the town pound since being taken
In charge at the Craycraft ranch on
Elk river by the forestry officials dur
ing the winter, together with three
fine bulls from the herd which for two
years has been running In the Steam
boat Springs city park, were on Mon
day loaded In q stock car for ship
ment to the Fremont county town.
The II head captured on Elk river
were taken In charge because OF the
complaints OF ranchmen that they
were doing great damage. Having
been driven down from the mountains
because the unusually deep SHOWS had
covered their accustomed feed, they
had invaded the ranches and had eat
en- up large quantities Of hay, entail
ing heavy loss upon the ranchers.
AS the state takes the position that
all wild game is the property Of the
state. the fish and game department
was called upon to take care Of its
pr perty and to put stop to the dam
age being done. There were ID head
of elk at the Cracraft ranch, but one
Of the bulls had to be killed on &C.
count Of its breaking leg while en-
deavoring to escape capture, and an
other died after the heard was
brought to the town pound.
The three bulls taken from the
towns herd were all old animals and
1t was thought advisable to dispose OF
them as they were SO quarrelsome
that the young bulls born and raised
within the enclosure were in danger
of being killed. One of the latter ami
mails did lose its life few weeks ago
in fight with the old veterans, and
1t was feared that others might also
be lost In the same manner.
Little trouble was experienced in
catching the elk and taking them to
the depot to be loaded into the stock
car. They made little resistance, and
were easily driven into a big cage or
crate built on skids, and were hauled
through town, from four to six at a
time, four teams Of horses pulling the
cage. The captivated animals attract
ed much attention, many Of those who
saw them never before having had an
opportunity to inspect living elk at
such close range.-Steamboat Senti-
mel.

A Word to Newspaper Men

Two paper statesmen dropped into
The Herald Office this week. Ordin-
arily we get up and look over our
stock and usually give some orders to
fill in stock. This time we refused to
stir. We informed the salesman that
we did not propose to buy pound OF
paper until we had orders calling for
1t, that we intended to let our stock
run down, substitute grades we had
in stock for others where possible and
buy only rs required and In quantity
needed.
There may be some excuse for the
raises in price of paper, but we do not
believe the extraordinary advances
are justified. II all paper users will
adopt the policy Of buying as little
rs possible and only as required the
paper makers will be surprised how
quickly they can catch up with orders
and will come off their perch . little.
II their statesmen come In after q
few trips with greatly reduced orders
the paper houses will soon begin to
sit up and take notice. Try 1t. BROTH
