TELLS ABOUT JOHN RANDOLPH
Thomas II. Benton Relates Interview
With Eccentric Man, In Which He
Depicts His Melancholy Mood.

Thomas H. Benton in his Thirty
Years View" gives an interesting &C.
count Of an interview he had with the
eccentric John Randolph Of Roanoke.
The interview was at Mr.. Benton's
room in Crawford's hotel, in George.
town. 1t was In the gloom of the eve
ming, before the lamps were lit. Mr..
Randolph, reclining on soft, silent
and thoughtful, repeated, as II to him.
self, Johnson's lines on "Senility and
Imbecility," that show his life under
Its most melancholy form:
in llfe's last scenes what prodigies
surprise,
Fears Of the brave and follies of the
wise.
Down Marlborough's eyes the streams
Of dotage flow,
And Swift expires a driveller and a
show"
When Mr.. Randolph finished repeat
ing these lines. Mr.. Benton said to
MN. "Mr. Randolph, have often
heard you repeat these as If they could
have ar application to yourself, while
no one can have less reason than your
self to fear the fate Of Swift"
To this Randolph replied: II have
lived in dread of insanity"
While Randolph was not insane In
the ordinary sense Of the word, 1t Is
certain that he had occasional tenn
porary alterations Of the mind, and 1t
was during such times that his talk
was most brilliant, coplous flow for
hours Of wit and classic aIlusion, a
perfect scattering Of the diamonds of
the mind.
His will was contested on the ground
OF insanity, but 1t was not set aside.

WAR BOARD HEARS
TIMBERLAKE AND
SENATOR EATON

Of the county war council came
from every part OF the empire ol
Weld Friday night to hear Congress
man Charles B. Timberlake OF Ster.
ling and Senator William r. Eaton
from Denver discuss war issues.
Many Of the men motored from
SO to rs miles over prairie roads after
a hard days work to attend the ban
quet Of the war council which was
held at the Camfield hotel. Inspired
by the stirring speeches OF the con-
gresham and the state senator they
turned their faces homeward early
this morning with new enthusiasm
for their particular tasks in the war
to make the world safe for demo-
cracy.
In spite of the fact that Congress
man Timberlake was weary and
hoarse from q long series OF speech
es delivered in Greeley and in other
towns Of the state, he refused to
spare himself In Friday nights ad-
dress. With vivid descriptions Illus
trated in many places with maps,
photographs and tropics Of the
French and Belgian battlefields, the
congressman broght the actualties
Of war as he saw them over 5000
miles of sea and land to the eyes and
ears Of his audience.
Senator William Eaton of Denver,
as chairman of the -four minute
men" Of Colorado came to Greeley to
bring home to Weld county people
the urgency Of the big job of dis
tributing $1,100,000 worth Of war
saving certificates and stamps in the
county during 1918. II we come up
to our quota every family in Weld
must average a 500 investment in
saving certificates before December
81, 1918. Every man, woman and
child in Weld must average an in
vestment of $40.
Eaton urged campaign of cutting
out luxuries and investing In war
certificates Reduction OF expen-
ditures on luxuries benefits the gov
ernment two ways. 1t saves mater
ial which the nation can use for
necessities. 1t releases for the gov
erment, money which 1t can use for
its own necessities" explained Eaton.
Before the two main speakers de-
livered their addresses there was con-
siderable discussion of local prob
lens Of the Weld County War coun-
ell. A rigid campaign to be waged
against imposters and possible irres-
ponsible collectors for the Red Cross.
Careful accounting is to be made Of
every penny collected for war work
purposes thruout the country.
More than 100000 has been col
lected for war work in Weld since
last June without even suspician Of
graft or penny Of loss. In the fu-
ture campaigns every possible step is
to be taken to maintain the record.
Every member of the war council ex-
pressed himself enthusiastically be-
fore and after the, banquet concern
ing conditions in his OWN cummun-
ity.
During the intervals between the
speeches and discussion the State
Teachers College Glee Club, direct
ed by Prof. J. C. Kendel sang patrio-
tic and college songs. The club was
repeatedly encored.

THRIFT STAMPS GOING FAST

G. F. Cramer, special disbursing agent for the Alaskan Engineering commission, who was recently ap- pointed chairman of the Nenana dis trict in the matter of Thrift stamps and War Saving certificates, reports that the public are investing their money in these stamps in such a manner that he is unable to get them down from Fairbanks fast enough to supply the demand. These stamps which were selling for $4.12 during the month of January, have now in creased in value to $4.13, and will increase each month in the year. The war savings stamps have a maturity value of $5, payable in 1923, which is the equivalent of 4 per cent compound interest. The idea in placing government certifi- cates on the market in such small denominations is to gather up all the small change that may be in the city, especially the savings of children or others who are not able to invest in Liberty bonds. In fact, the war savings certificates are called Baby Liberty bonds." The Thrift stamps are going rapidly among the child ren in Nenana, several of the young sters being heavy investors in a small way. Postmaster Love has charge if the selling of all Thrift stamps and is getting many quarters and dollars that have been locked up in toy banks for long time. and which are now going into the United States treasury to draw a"heavy in terest and help win the war.

FIVE REEL BLUEBIRD
 AT COLISEUM SUNDAY

The San Francisco earthquake and fire has been translated to the screen as the climaxing incident of a series of sensational events to be witnessed at the Coliseum tomorrow night, on the occasion of the pre- sentation of the Bluebird feature, Hell Morgan's Girl" In this stir ring five-reel melodrama, beautiful and talented Dorothy Phillips will play the leading role, supported by William Stowell as the hero and Lon Chaney as the william in the story.
 Miss Phillips impersonates the queen of Sailors Rest" notorious resort on the famous Barbary Coast, in the days before the "quake" Her hand is contested by Sleter Noble, a conniving politician, when Roger Curwell, gentleman and artist thrown by drink and dissapation onto the shores of the "coast," finds favor in Lolo Morgan's eyes, and finally wins her love. It is in the transi- tion of Lola and Roger to an equal ity in high ideals that makes the picture remarkable in it's purpose. Out of the slums of Frisco, driven to the Preside for refuge, come Lola and Roger transfigured by love, to enter upon new life. The climax is most realistic.
 The usual Sunday prices will pre- vail, fifty cents for general admis- sion and a quarter extra for re- served seats. The show will start at 8:30. John c. Murphy will ad- dress the audience for four minutes during the last intermission, on topics of the war.
 This feature will not be repeated, as it must be returned to the coast immediately.
