whether he was Jesse James or not,
or whether, as a matter of fact, the
James boys were with the crowd. But.
anyway, that is the way the story mas
always been told, and the horse was
later exhibited in all parts of the
country.
1.-THE gang had approached the town
of Mortified, which was located about
Is miles from my home, from two
directions, each crowd containing four
men. Later, they again divided and
rode into town in pairs. The citizens
showed unexpected resistance and
killed two of the bandits on the
street. The rest retreated and fled
to a sort of meadow, near Madelia, rs
miles from Mortified. There they
were surrounded by posses with all
sorts of guns. A number of crack
shots with long-distance rifles opened
fire on the place where they Were
hidden, and, as their guns did not
carry as far as the pursuers', the out
laws were in a bad way. One was
killed and all the others were wound
ed. Jim Younger was able to use one
arm to tie a white handkerchief 10
switch and wave it. Then the seven
men, of whom Mr. Crandall was one.
were delegated to go in and briag
them out In the meantime, however,
two men, supposed to be the James
boys, had escaped.
"An incident occurred while they
were in Jail which went to show that
the local militia, even in those days
would shoot if necessary. There was
a report current that a gang of ban
dts was on their way from Missouri
to rescue the outlaws. The local mill
tary company was called out. young
man from a nearby town made a be-
that he could walk up to the Jail un-
molested He pulled down his hal
over his eyes, turned up his coat col
lar and started for the jail. The sen
try called on him to halt, and on tho
failure of the rash young man tC
obey, shot him dead.
"Of course, you know the rest o.
the story, about how the survivor!
were sent to the penitentiary for liz
and how Cole and his brother jim
were paroled after rs years. Cole. a
I recall him, wore a beard at thu
time of the trial. The rest were. a.
Irwin said, beardless. Cole was IL
last survivor of the famous gang.

The sunrises are very beautiful, too.
Nature has three wells, a silver veil
for the valley, a purple one for the
Mills and blue one for the mountains.
1t seems to me that the mountains
are one of the most beautiful works
Of Naturei always towering above US
IN their grandeur, majestic, awe-in-
spring and awful in their sublimity;
their snow capped peaks lifted high in
the air with clouds resting on their
heads by day and by night the moon

Amid the wailing and moaning of the
pines and the mountain grasses you
can hear the winds sweeping up the
canyon lulling the beautiful flowers 10

morning in the mOuntains-the snow
peaks peerng wistfully down at you
from over the spire-like trees the
cool breath of the morning, pine
scented, chirp the birds, the trem-
bling harmony of the quaking asp
leaves, the presence of green things
of the hills, the bloom of the wild
flowers Itsn't it wonderful? How
happy we should be, who can within a
few hours reach such grandeur. Out
here in the west where the wild
things grow and the west, our west,
calls in a voice of soothing tender
ness. Our joy should run over and
lnundate everything; should over flow
its banks and make the waste places
green; should bubble and effervesce.
Would you change places with the city
people for these beauties of nature
No, a thousand time no. There are
people though, right here, who see no
beauty in those things. Blue Lakes
one of the most picturesque spots, to
them is but pile rocks, so also the
falls. They admire every new shade
in the styles, study the harmonious

The Irish Potato.

The Irish potato is a native of South
America; was introduced into Spain
in the early part OF the sixteenth CEN
fury. and into England by Sir Walter
Raleigh in 1855; was regarded at first
as a curiosity, and its use as an ar
ticle OF food made slow progress. In
1863 the Royal society of London rec
commended it as a possible safeguard
against famine among the Irish peas
antry, but the British Encyclopedia
says that Its cultivation in England
made but little progress, even though
1t was strongly urged by the Royal
society. and not much more than
century has elapsed since its cultiva-
ton on large scale became general"
II is sometimes called the Irish po-
tato because it is a favorite article
OF food in Ireland. The failure of the
crop in Ireland several years, espe-
cially in 1916, caused famine, which
was followed by disease, from which
many thousands died. In 1885 an in
ternational potato exhibition was held
at the Crystal palace, London, and in
1886 the three hundredth year of the
introduction of the potato into Eng
land was celebrated at Westminster.
