THE REGISTER. LAMAR, - - COLORADO. The enthusiast has been compared to a man walking in a log; everything immediately around him. or In con tact with him. appears sufficiently clear arfil luminous, bu*. b yond the little circle of which ho himself is th 6 center, all is mist and error and ’ con fusion. We must learn how to think and feel about things. We must gel honesty, directness and lotty purpose wrought into the fibre of our being. We must fix right standards of judg ment. We must be taught and be willing to learn the way that we mus: choose. H vLiarurox says: There is nothin; like fun. is there? 1 haven’t any my s»» f do like it in others. Oh. we need it—we need all the counter weights we can muster to balance the tad relations of life! God has made tunny spots in the heart; why should wo exclude the light from them? We may be growing flippant and fond of petty mental diversions, and wo perhaps may be even ignoble in many ways; but one splendid sign is well fitted to cheer us even when the signs of decadence are most painfully apparent, and that is the growing tendency toward toleration of all opinions. The first and most important element of memory is the taking of an impression in such away that it is likel; to bo retained; the more sharp ami vivid this impression is made, the more permanent it is likely to be. At tention in taking in what we wish tu learn, then, is the secret of remem bering it afterwards. Be not anxious about to-morrow. Do to-day’s duty only; fight to-day’s temptations and do not weaken and distract yourself by looking forward to those things you cannot see, and could not understand if you saw them. Enough for you that God is just and merciful and will reward every man according to his work. No good action, no good oxamplc dies—lt lives forever in cur race. A single virtuous action has elevated a whole village a whole city, a whole nation. It is from small seeds dropped into the ground that the finest pro ductions grow, and it is from the in born dictates of conscience and the in spired principles of duty that the fin est growths of character have arisen. There happens to be no especial demand In this country for miniature apple trees, four inches high, and covered with flowers and fruit; but there is an immense demand for simi lar human specimens in the way of four-inch young ladies four-inch clergymen, four-inch government of ficials, none the less blooming all over with flowers of fragrance, piety or patriotism, and setting a full crop o! domestic. religious and political fruit the size of currants. The adage of the prophet has been also the maxim of the world. In all callings in life there is a demand for obedience a3 the first and absolutely necessary qualification. There is a yoke at school if the school be worthy of its name; there is a yoke to be passed under as the doorway to every profession and every work of life; and it is noticeable that the men who have tho most thorough training, whether formal or informal make the best leaders, tho best masters, the best commanders. It is good that a man should be well disciplined in his youth —not in the sense of cruelty or harsh ness. which reproduce themselvea but in the sense of orderliness and self management Fifty years ago the peers of Eng land exerted all their influence to keop the railroad station os far as possible from their manor-house. They re sented the intrusion of the plebian railway car where now they welcome tho advantages of its neignborhood, tho propinquity of its fast trains to and from London and its facilities for bringing down supplies of fresh fish and meats and other delicacies of the' metropolitan market. And now so ■ enamored of haste are these descend- ! ants of theso old-time seekers after. seclusion that they are content to drivo to their halls ‘ by a more direct but rather sneaking side drive, ignor ing altogether the great avenues of lime, elm or beech along which it was the just pride ot our fore-fathers to pass from London road lodge to their respective thresholds.” When once a man has established a home, his most important duties are fairly begun. The errors of youih may be overlooked; want of purposes and even of honor, in his earlier days may be forgotten. But, from tho mo ment of his marriage, he begins to write his indelible history— not by •pen and ink. but by actions, by which he must over afterwards be reported and judged. His conduct at home; his solicitude for hia family; the train ing of his children; his devotion to his wife, his regard for the great in terests of eternity—these are the tests by which his worth will ever after wards be estimated by all who think or care about him. Those will deter mine his position while living, and influence his memory when dead. He uses well or ill the brief space allotted to him out of ail eternity to build up a {r&me founded upon the most solid or all foundations—private worthy I A KANSAS CYCLONE. A GENUINE TWISTER.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE. The Twenty-First Ouadruinlal General Conference at Dm alia. The first business session of the Conference opened in Boyd’s opera house on the morning of the 2nd. The 500 delegates and large numbers of visitors crowded the building. Bishop Bowman called the meeting to order and Bishop Newman read from the Bible fol lowing which Bishop Foss offered prayer. S D. Monroe of Pennsylvania was elected secre tary and he appointed Manley S. Hurd ol Wyoming and Charles Hudson of Indiana a* his assistants. After the election of secretary the per manent seating of the delegates was in order. Immediately the old trouble between the lay and ministerial delegates came to the surface. The lay delegates held a meeting Saturday af ternoon and decided to ask the conference tc seat them by themselves, separate from tb* ministers, thinking by this means to secure greater recognition than they now have. Af ter a heated debate on the subj«g:t the petitloc of tLe laymen was granted, and the drawing for seats then commenced. The first allot ment drawn was by R. E. Gilman (colored) ol Missouri, who took the best seat in the house: F. J. Young of North Dakota alleged tbert was fraud and a heated debate folio*6 1 un til the conference adjourned until morning. In the evening a reception was tendered by the mayor and city officials. The seat question came up again Tuesday morning when the lay delegates complained that seats reserved for them bad i*eeu occu pied by ministers. The matter was finally disposed of and other business taken up. Dr. Neely read the report of the commit sion. Among other things suggested by the commission was a change in the arrangement of the discipline. No material change trat recommended in the rules or in the working of the discipline, but the commission thought the book could be arrauged to much bettei advantage. They also suggested that the general conference hereafter meet on the flrsi Wednesday in May and that laymen and ministers vote togeather. The standing committees were then ap pointed. On Wednesday morning Bishop Warren oi Denver presided and Bishop Foster delivered the Episcopal address. It stares that since the last general conference fully 400,000 mem bers have been added to the church, a greater growth than had ever been known In the his tory of the church. Upon the admission ol women to the general conference, the result was given as follows; Laity, for 235,668, against 163.84 : ministerial, for 5.609. against 4.944. The report gave a very exhaustive re view of every branch of the church work, and recommmcnded that great care be exercised in procuring ministers, strong, loyal men, fully abrest with the education of the age. for the educated pew would not eudure an un educated pulpit.

A Trapped Brut. Aaal.t.d by A-v other Bear In Carrylne off the Trap. Not lorn; ago a cow died in thex u in ity of the Guinn ranch, near the head of Goose creek, South of Wagon-Wheel jap, says the San Juan l’ro~i*cctor. It soon became apparent to '' illiani Guinn, owner of the ranch, that the carcass of the cow was being visited by a bear of very large dimensions, and, in company with Dell McClelland, Mr. Guinn decide! to sit up witn the bear aud endeavor to get a shot at it by night. This was done, but owing to darkness the bear was not killed by shots fired. As the next re sort a large bear-trap, weighing about seventy-five pounds, was procured and set near the dead “critter, and the trappers went to bed laughing at the trick they had played on the bear. The trap was chained to a ;»ole eighteen feet long and eight inches through at the large end. In tbe morning an examination of the premises about the dead cow showed plainly that the bear and a cub had been there during the night. There was a large truck, eighteen inches long mid six or seven inches wide, and a small track, evidently made by a cub. The trap, however, was gone, and with it the eighteen-foot pole, ami the disturbed condition of the ground showed conclusively that the bear had been caught in the trap. The trail, however, away from tbe scene was oniy the trail of two bears— there was not a mark of drape n? •ither trap or pole. Mr. Guinn took up the trial, which he followed eight miles without coming upon the l*»Hr*. 'rap, or pole. At the camp of Toni Carey, seven miles away, that g< nth*- man told how in the night he had Iwn awakened by a sound as of something walking, with an occasional pause and heavy fall on the ground, as though something had been drop ped. Having no gun Mr. Carey t».-t up n his tent the balance of the night and endeavored to keep warm by poking wood into a sheet-iron stove The trail was followed a mile or *o further and then lost. In one place the bears had pa-sed through n heavy quaking aspen thicket and had literal v mowed a path through thesnplings thowing that the trapand pole were being taken along. The natural in ference is that the bear was caught in the trap and had picked up the same, with the pole, and started lor the hii!» The bear is an old oflender in these parts, and Mr. Guinn hopes to find it yet. Later—A man just in from tbe head Df the San Juan reports that he p&se t*l ths bears on the P*<?o*a road, be pond Summit ville. jogging contented y along, each carrying one end of the pole, while the old bear was caught in the trap by the right front foot. Scotland and the Thistle. The thistle was selected as the na tional emblem of Scotland in the year 1010. It was during the reign of Malcolm I. that a notable invasion of the country was made by the Dane* They came in thousands, and, land ing on the coast, swarmed over the inhabited districts like locusts, des troying, burning and plundering wherever they went. For safety the inhabitants fled to the castles and fortified towns, and among the most notable of the fortresses of Alter - deenshire was Statue's Castle, where were collected a large number of j*-o pie of the neighborhood. The I>arm projected a surprise. Approaching tiie castle in the darkness, they planned to scale its walls, and laid aside their shoes that the greater secrecy might be observed when drawing near to the fortifica tions. The surprise might have been successful had it not been for the fact that, on descending intothedr^moat, thev found, to their great discomfiture land mortification, it was filled with thistles, by which their feet was severely pricked that several made an outcry, which aroused the defenders of the castle and brought them to the wall in time to repel the onset. Regard ing their good fortune in repelling the Danes ns due to the thistle*, th.se plants were immediately placed in the tirrns of Scotland and adopted as the emblem of the country. Hypnotized by a Snake. A remarkable snake story was told by a retd lent of Clarion county re rently, and but for the unimpeachable character of the narrator would sound like a ‘‘snake story.” He stated that a farmer who lived near Clarion while in a field was attacked bv a snak. fully ten feet in length. The reptile coiled itself around the fanner's wn.st and glared fixedly in his face evident ly trving to charm him. Shaking ofl the dizzy feeling caused by thesnake’e hypnotic gaze, the farmer cut it to pieces with the scythe and then. n a listed with fright and overexertion, sank to the ground. The head of the snake, with a por tion of the body, lay near him and the peculiar color caused him to pick it up and he found it was an albino hlacksnnke. The peculiar formation of the snake's eyes caused him to ex amine them closely and he could hard ly believe the evidence of his senses when he discovered a perfect repro duction of his face photographed in the center of the eye. Lie Wrought the =nnkeback totown. where it was pho tographed and preserved in alcohol The negative taken by the photo grapher shows the snake’s eye perfect ly with the farmer’s face showing as clearly as if also taken with a camera. —Oil City Derrick. A Joke on Her Majesty. Few people are perhaps aware how thoroughly the queen enjoys a joke. A gentleman-in-waiting, whom let us •all Mr. A , distinguished for his imitative powers and dramatic talent, is not infrequently called upon to trip the light fantastic toe, figuratively speaking when in attendance at Wind sor and Balmoral. One day the great lady, looking with a certain austerity straight into the face of Mr. A demanded “Now, Mr. A ,I am perfectly well aware that when my back is turned you imitate ine. I wish to see you do it now, this minute! ' Poor Mr. A fell straight way into the royal trap, crimsoned, faltered, utterly lost his comftwianre. "Ah!” exclaimed the queen, "I see 1 was richt ’ You ought to he asham ed of yourself,” and then added, laugh ing as heartily as any school gUI “but don't do it again.” THE SARATOGA MIRACLE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY AN express reporter. fh« K«ti Already Stated rally Cob tinned —luterrle«B »***» lABill»f Phr ilrfauu Who Treated yuant TUa Most SI irrcl I •>u» Ca*e In lha llUlory ot Medical Scleu«-a- „ A f«-rr WMka *.*o an arilc!* appca I n tbts I ipv copied from * lie AlllOOy, K.
