Earl Murphy, who wa> a'rest"
ed last week for stealing cattle,
was sentenced to an indefinite
period at the reformatory. We
feel sorry for Earl, as we believe
he was naturally a pood boy, but
he got in with the wrong kind of
company and was led astray.
J. B. Arnold was in Cheyenne
Wells last Saturday on crutches.
He informed us that he had his
leg bioken about two weeks ago
by a team running away while
on his way to Sterling, Colo and
and he has kept it away from his
wife and family who were visit
ing at Ellis ICans.
J. H. Craft Director Department
of Agriculture teacher College j
of Greeley is here in Conference
with J. W. Shy, for the organi
zation of the conservation of
food campaign which is to be held
October £Bth. to November 4th-
Last Monday and Tuesday,
Cheyenne County had the distin
guished honor of entertaining Dr
Mary C. C. Bradford, State Su
perintendent of Public Instruc
tion. While here she was the
g lest of the young ladies at the
High School Dormitory.
The first school to receive stand
ardization was the Waterville lo
cated about eleven miles north of
Cheyenne Wells. At this place
.an intelligent community a id on
earnest hard working teacher,
Mrs. Hill, have worked miracles
and the school scored high in ef
ficiency: Music, speeches and a
delicious dinner were features of
the program and Dr. Bradford’s
address was received with under
standing and appreciation.
Mrs. Bradford was very much
pleased with the fire-proof con
struction, the clean, well lighted,
large, airy rooms and the happy
interesting pupils and the teach
ers of the school at Cheyenne
Wells, The school scored 85 per
cent and in the evening the event
was celebrated by the assembled
community. The music furnish
ed by Mr. Akerly and the pupils
was fine and although Dr, Brad
ford had just spent a strenous
day, her address had lost none of
its splendid inspiration.
Ohe of the most interesting
things in the state of Colorado
today is our Kit Carson school.
At this place the pupils come to
school in cars, seven of them
every morning bring in one-hun
dred and thirty pupils. They
have four teachers. Here the
building and equipments are far
from perfect bur the enterprise
and spirit which accomplish great
results are abundant and the
school was received on the ap
proved list, not only because of
the far reaching vision which
sees great things in the future for
our schools and takes steps to
ward their fulfillment. Both
rooms of the auditorium were full
to overflowing, standing room
was at a premum and after list
ening to some rousing good music
by the Kit Carson band and
speeches by patrons, Mrs. Brad
ford made a talk which will long
be remembered by every man ami
woman and child whose privleige
it was to listen.
Dr. Bradford left for Denver,
Wednesday morning, leaving in
spiration and hope for the future.
She may return to us in March as
there are a number of other
schools anxiously awaiting a
chance for standardization.
There are about four hundred
standardized schools in the state
of Colorado.

WHERE TARLETON IS BURIED
American Tourist Discovers Tomb of
Dashing Officer Who Won Poms
in Revolution.
What became of Major Tnrlcton aft
er the Battle of Yorktown? Except
for a very few people, says A. G.
Bradley in the Nation, everyone in
England has forgotten the very name
of the young cavalry leader. But many
persons in America must have won
dered what became of the dashing sol
dier, and how it happened that in the
long years of war that shook England
and Europe his name never once ap
peared.
When Mr. Bradley, In a leisure hour,
entered the line old fourteenth century
village . church ut Lcintwardlne, in
Herefordshire, he did hot thinl: that
the bare, unseated chapel promised
much of interest; indeed, he was just
turning away when in a far corner and
partly concealed by ladders, buckets,
planks and other articles necessary to
the cleaning of the church, ho caught
sight of a lofty mural monument. The
lettering on It ran us follows:
“Near this place arc- deposited the
mortal remains of Sir Bnimstre Tnrle
ton —Baronet General in the Army—
Knight Grand Cross of the Order of
the Bath, Governor of Berwick-on-
Twced, Colonel of the Gallant Bth
Hussars —He represented his native
town of Liverpool for seven Sessions
and closed his distinguished career in j
this place Jan. 25, 1855.”
In 1708 Tnrlctcn was sent to Portu
gal, but was very soon recalled at Ills
own request, and with that exception
l»e never saw a shot fired after York-1
town or served anywhere abroad, al
though England was constantly fight
ing until Waterloo. Ho got promoted
regularly, however, for he stood well
at court and was a member of the
prince of Wale;’ circle.
Tarleton .belonged neirher to the no
, bility nor to the landed gentry. Ho
was the son of a Liverpool merchant,
an unusual origin at that time for a
dashing cavalry dflieer and tlio best
horseman, according to good authority.
In the British army. He had entered
Oxford and had studied to become a
barrister, but gave up classics and the
law for soldiering and u commission
at twenty-one years of age. He bad a
genius for the training of men and.
officers and for rapid and successful
j strokes.
On returning from America, liow-
I ever, ho turned from soldiering to poll
j lies; he lost no time in entering the
house of commons, and sat for his
! native city of Liverpool for 20 years,
i Tie became a major general in 1704, a
lieutenant general in 1801, a full gen
eral In ISI2. a baronet In ISIS and a
O. C. 15. in 1820. He also hold the
fell colonelcy of several cavalry regi
ments An. succession and was for some
years governor of Berwick. Ho ap
parently retired with his wife to
Leintwnrdone for the last years of
his life, lived there quietly and did not
mix with the neighboring county fam
ilies.
The seclusion of his gorgeous tomb,’
behind the cobwebs of a disused aisle,
gives a final touch of mystery to the
romance that early associations with
Virginia have connected with Tarlo
ton’s name.—Youth’s Companion.
Women in the Field of Labor.
If by chance a woman docs not be
come a homemaker, but enters a busi
ness pursuit, she moots unusual diffi
culty. The mnn has been in business
for generations; the woman is a new
comer. Some employments are closed
to her. cither because they require the
great physical strength or endurance*
or because conventional considerations
forbid. Americans look with disap
proval upon \tomon working in the
fields, as they do in foreign countries;
and yet there is much field work that
is more interesting, more wholesome
and much more suitable than some
of the work that American women are
allowed to do —such, for example, as
they do in laundries and in factories.
Not only are women considered ns
invaders in men’s fields, but also they
suffer because men. invading fields
once considered strictly feminine, are
becoming dressmakers, cooks, laundry
managers and clerks. Moreover, for
the same work women received lower
pay than men. Do not those difficul
ties constitute a compelling appeal to
give women in their schooling every
possible equipment for success?—

Welcome the Birds.
Are nil the beautiful birdhouses that
were made last winter now in place
and occupied? Let us give a glad
welcome to nil the birds that can be
induced to live near us. Not everyone
j realizes the benefit these little crea
tures confer. The work they do In
j preserving our crops and fruit from
the ravages of insects needs to be
told again and again. Besides this
great use. the happiness they give us
with their songs and their beauty is
not to be told or measured. Many a
heavy heart has been cheered and com
forted by the robin’s friendly “cheer
up. dearie, cheer up’* ns he flits about
a home. Robins love to be friendly,
and there are other birds which love
human society. Have you In your
yard a dish of water for them to drink
and bathe in? If not, put one there,
and observe how gladly it Is made use
of.—Exchange.
