GREAT HYMNS.
"GO BURY THY soRRoyys


 Mary Bachelor, the author of this touching sweet hyma, was the daugh- ter of a clergyman and when she | composed the hymn she was living with her brother, himself a clergy man.
 | This minister-brother had had rather more than his fair share of the | cares and burdens of life. so all oi his neighbors said, but with the true Christian spirit he stood up under his load like the brave. un. selfish man that he was.
 As though her brothers burden was already heavy enough. Miss Bachelor poured into his ears all hei sorrows.
 One day. 1t seems. after having re- vealed to her brother certain troubles that were greatly distressing her she was reproached by her conscience for what she had done.
 She seemed to hear a voice say to her, as clear and distinct as any hu- man voice: You are wicked and meanly selfish to be troubling him when he is already so heavily loaded down with his cares. Stop It." She went to the open window and watched the long, heavy shadows least by the tall poplars on the lawn Land the thought came to her-took full possession of her: That's just what you are doing. casting, shadows not rays of light. but lines of dark ness across the beauty of the world Instead of throwing only sunshine upon my brothers way I deliberately make his path darker and harder to | travel" Under the influence of this feel l ing she shut herself up in her bed room and with moistened eyes and guilty soul, wrote the hymn: ,s l "Go bury they sorrow. The world hath its share" There Is abundant testimony to | the fact that Miss Bachelor, through her song born in the shadows of the poplars has transformed many a "tale of woe" either into silence or | into one of good cheer. A woman who had suffered much ] was singing this hymn one day in the presence of her little daughter when the tears began streaming down her face, Mama" said the little one, 'are you digging the sor- rows all up again?" This hymn has helped many bravely to bear their sorrows in silence.

and makes an old wound throb anew. Surely there fB no need of discuss
 fng unfaithful husbands with de-
 serted wife, nor discoursing about prison reform with mother whose
 only son is behind the bars, or telling
 humorous story about a cripple to
 maified soldier.
 We might be taught not to hold I public post morten-s in which we dig up the bones of our ancestors, and hold public worship over them. or tell
 how great and rich we used to be. Or worse stiiL to recount all the troubles we have had, and demand that our listeners shall weep over the sorrows that should have been
 forgotten years ago.
 Then we might be taught not te
 talk about ourselves, or our
 children. or our possessions. or the
 things that we have done, or the | things we gre going to do, for. these
 matters are of interest to no other
 human being under the sun except
 ourselves.
 We might be taught to keep silent
 concerning our aches. and pains, and
 our major operations, for few are l morhid-minded enough to enjoy lis-
 tening to the details of hospital clin- | ics. And n-ore especially should we
 be taught to refrain from telling a ! SICK person that his symptoms are l exactly those of our Aunt Maria, who
 died horrible death after she had spent fortune on doctors and sani-
 tariums trying In vain to get cured, We should be taught not to offer gratuitous criticism, When we see a | friend with q hat on that makes her l look like tho wrath of God, 1t is not
 our business to destroy her pleasure
 in 1t by telling her so. Neither is it | lip to us to tell an acquaintance that we do not like his new house, or the make of automobile he has bought, or that we do not approve of the ways in which he is bringing up his children We gratify our own taste l snd desires. Other people have a | similar right to express theirs, and
 what they do is none of our affair. We might be taught not to give Hunsought advice, especially in the bosom of our families. and more par ticularly to our children. The reason that family life Is so often failure
 Is because everybody in it feels that | he or she has a right to tell every body else exactly what they shall dd. and shall not do.
 If fathers and mothers could only learn what not to say to their chill dren, they could save the perpetual pickering that goes on in almost every household in which there are growing boys and girls, that breaks the parents hearts. and that drives

And we could be taught not to say the uncourteous things to those of our household that we would never be rude enough to say to strangers. When our husbands launch out on their favorite stories why should we tell them that we have heard them before? We smile appreciatelyE owe chestnuts handed us by other people. Why should we tell our wiveB that they don't know what they are talk ing about, when we listen respect fully to a million fool opinions from fool women outside of our homes? Why should we make child still more self-conscious and Awkward by publicly calling attention to its faults? Why should we reserve all of our cruel speeches for family consumption?

Surely the millennium will have arrived when we learn how to keep silence and put a guard upon your tongues.

TAYLOR PARK EMPIRE Al. LAST
OPENED FOR DEVELOPMENT
Vast Area Little Known Can Now Be Visited
With Ease and Comfort Means More Mines,
More Mills, More Tourists.

The Taylor park region, section
Of the Central Rockies, containing SOC
square miles, almost as large as the
state Of Rhode Island, and yet never
seen or explored by one per cent OF
even the people Of Gunnison county,
within the borders Of which the entire
park lays, is about to be opened to the
public as a new Colorado playground
and mineral territory.
The Taylor River road, most of
which Elmer Wiley built last season,
covers eight miles from the mouth OF
Lottis creek and opens the entire Tay-
lor park region Of rich mineral, for
est and tourist territory to the public
for the first time with easy access on
water grade.
Altho not quite completed, it is be-
ing used already, and dozens of tour
ing cars made the trip last week end
into the park and enjoyed the fine fish
ing and the sights Of wonderland of
untouched Rocky Mountain scenery
that had hitherto been denied US be-
cause Of impossible road conditions.
Since 1879, when the prospectors
from Leadville swarmed over the main
range in search Of new mines, until
the present date, 46 years later, there
never has been road into this vast
territory that could be traversed with
loaded teams without doubling up, and
always requiring tremendous expense
for transportation. Rich mineral ter
ritory was opened at Tin Cup, Cross
mountain, italian mountain, the For
rest Hill, Pie Plant and around Dor
chester, but no property could stand
the $25 a ton, both ingoing and out
going freight, which conditions made
necessary to charge.
This new road in which the forest
service has cooperated with the coun-
ty of Gunnison in building, will cost
between $4,000 and $4,000. The
really difficult part thru Taylor canon
back Of Park Dome, has at last been
cut across with modern road, which
by August will be in excellent condi-
tion. The forest service has spent
$25. 900 on the contract, and the coun-
ty has agreed to complete the connect
ing link by remaking the old county
road 16 miles from Almont, part of
which has already been done this
spring.
The highway into Taylor park will
be ready for use this summer, probab
~ August, and some mining men de-
clare will reduce costs for haulage to
the railroad station to $500 ton.
Previous to this the ores from Tin
Cup were transported over the high
pass e st. Elmo; those from the For
~ HIN mine via Spring creek to Al

SCENIC LINE SERVICE
CLUB 0ReANzED HERE

A meeting Of the newly organized
Scenic Line Service Club of the RIO
Grande railroad, was held Wednesday
evening in the waiting room Of the
La Veta hotel. Nearly eighty EN-
ployees Of this division were present
to discuss ways and means Of uphold
ing and. furthering the clubs motto Of
safe, courteous and cooperative SER
vice for the public" A great deal Of
interest was shown, and Sid Karns,
personal representative, who came in
from Denver for the meeting, said
that II was dandy gathering-one of
the best he has attended any place on
the line.
These clubs have been organized all
over the state and about 10000 rail-
road people are actively interested in
the work. A. w. Hogan, local ticket
agent, is president Of the Gunnison
club, which meets monthly. In the
near future they hope to get in touch
with the other clubs of the town in
order to get real cooperative work and
better service from the railroads.

.CHANCE FOR GUNN|SON TO Be
"APP|AN WAY OF AMERICA
It Is Now Proposed to Make the Rainbow Route A
Part of the pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean" High
way National Road Much Used By Tourists.

A matter Of great importance to
the future of Gunnison and other
towns on the Rainbow Route was orot
TO the attention of the Chamber OF
Commerce last Tuesday evening. The
meeting was called for the purpose
of hearing the details of proposal
to make the road from Colorado
Springs to Grand Junction. via Canon
City, Salida, Monarch Pass. Gunnisor
and Montrose an optional route of the
Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean highway.
The matter was presented by II. ID.

son was accompanied by C. F. Smith.
of the Western Slope Auto Co.. of
Grand Junction, thru whose effort;
mainly, this movement has been in
augurated-

present that the Pixies Peak Ocean 10

RADIO Springs. Then il goes west over
Ute pass and Tennessee pass to Glen

Various efforts have been made by
Florence, Canon City, and Salida to
get on this route and now the way is
opening for that to be done; in fact.
it Is settled definitely that il will be
routed via Florence, Canon City, Sail
da. Whether it will come on west
over Monarch Pass on the Rainbow
Route thru Gunnison. Msntrose, Delta,
and converge again at Grand juno
ton, or whether the road will be
routed from Salida to Buena Vista
and Leadville and then join the main
route, depends upon the cooperation
had by the towns affected.
1t is the desire, Mr.. Judson stated,
to bring the road this way, for he has
found in travelling the road between

TOURIST SEASON IS
REACHING ITS PEAK

Altho few ranchmen were in our
city Sunday, because of the previous
weeks celebration, the streets were
full Of autos and a constant stream OF
tourists kept the garages busy selling
gas from early morning till late at
night.
The tourist season is now really on,
and every one who has a car and a
weeks leisure loads up the family
flivver and starts out to see America
first. II the season continues with
the fine weather Of the early summer
we have two record months ahead of
US entertaining the travellers.
Along the Gunnison and up the side
streams to the very head Of naviga-
ton. cars are camped, some with quite
elaborate equipment for several weeks
stay and others just for day or two
at hasty fishing and then on to pas
lures new.
The state of Colorado is not bi.
too soon in building that extension
on the Pitkin hatchery, trebling the
capacity and making it five five mil
lion fingerlings a year. About one
more season like this with low water
and multitude Of tourists and there
would be few fish left in the Gunni-

ARE CAUGHT

Gunnison was startled and surpris-

daring robbery that was staged at

was rumored, had held up a man on
Monarch and taken his car. At Doyle
they robbed the United States post
office and the store owned by E. d.
Stephenson, taking a pair Of field
glasses, twelve dollars in cash and
gun. Later it was proved that the
men had taken the car out of garage
at Monarch. They travelled west and
must have passed thru Gunnison about
six o'clock Sunday morning.
The wires were immediately put to
use and places all around the country
were notified. The men were finally
caught near Telluride and taken to
Ouray. There proved to be three of
them, Jack Williams, Texas Kelly"
Williams and Roy West. They were
in the act of robbing another man
