ordinary ninii of business or laborer
to live more than half a mile, or such
a matter, from tin; sceue of b!s dally
task. To day all that Is ehainrcd. and
Jin II consequence tile residence district
In nil such cities has vastly extended.
nd people mil uncommonly live any
where from ten to twenty miles away
from their places of busiuess.
To double the radius of n city means
lo .Increase Its area four times. The
iroliey, by Its duplication and tripli
cation of til,' i lly radius, has enabled
very larsre territories to be Included
In tlit suburban districts of towns,
with the result that houses have plen
ty of room around them, the people nre
1 no longer compel I oil to live close to-
i Kether, and to this dcjjree a very Im
portant social revolution hns been
wrought, unci, indeed. Is still In pro
cess of extension. No one can deny
the benefits of a freer life and the
Immense social, sanitary and other ad
vantages which have followed the in
troduellon of the trolley ear, ntul the
consequent cxtd:!:;:: of residence
tii'i.ichborlioods.
Hut mother ncem-y has not been
Idle. The principal objection to coun
try life has been Its loneliness and the
tibsonco of those conveniences which
. difffrenelate the city house from the
country residence. The loneliness, by
which is nietini tile lacK or intercourse
with neighbors, has been In a great
degree removed by the telephone. IVr
bnps the best work that the independ
ent telephone movement lias accom
plished has been the popularization of
tho telephone mid its introduction nt
low rotes Into sparsely-settled neigh
borhoods, thus removing the bugbear
of Isolation which has lii-en so long
a complaint of the rurnl resident. But
tbp telephone has done more for those
living in tho country and In the coun
try districts surrounding cities than
to furnish them a means for social
conversation. It lias proved Itself n
very practical and valuable addition
to tho farmer's means for making a
living, r.y putting him in linmedinte
touch with his markets, whether for
solving or for buying, it enables hlra to
conduct bis business in a much more
liuitlness-like way thnn formerly, wheti
tho isolated gardener or trttckmnn
loaded Ills vehicle in the early hours
of tho niornlug with tlm produce of
his Acids and drove to town without
1he slightest Idea of what he would
receive for It or whether he would
Hell it at nil.
With the telephone minifying the
Isolation of (ho country districts and
tho trolley car providing oulek and in
expensive iiionnn nt transit, the sub
urbs have become, In a seusp, part of
me town, it is no longer a cr.se of
l-us In itrbc, but rather the reverse
for the town nan gone into tho countrv
ana carried with it those two import
ant ngeucieB, while not far behind
conies the electric light making at
once more pleiiHuut and more safe the
Highways and laues of the country
uisinciB.
AYhlle isolation was annoying under
me older regime It also had its dun
gcrs on nccouut of tho exposure of
valuable property iu suburban dig
tricts to tho nttneks of those wiio
prowl by iilght. Everybody knows
that one arc light Is as good an two
policemen, and thus the extension of
electric light in the suburban districts
lias made them better places of resl
unices in two distinct ways.
It Is unnecessary to seek further the
reusous for the decentralisation of
population, or the extension terrltorl
ully of cities or the Increasing nrmy
ui peopio wno unve left the town for
the country so far oh their places of
bode ure concerned. And yet it is
conceivable that we have aeu ouly the
Dcginuing or tne chunges which luevi
talily will follow the extension of elee
trie utilities," uud we mojr even look
lorwara to the practical disappear
ance of cities as places of residence
In the future and the redistribution
of population in a more satisfactory
sanitary and altogether desirable way
through tho effect of tho electrical
agencies referred to above. Electri

In mid-wltitor. hunting on horseback
In the Itockles Is apt to be cold work,
lint we were too warmly ibid to mind
the weather. We wore benvy flan
nels. Jackets . lined with sheepskin,
enps which drew, down entirely over
our Onrs, nnd on our feet heavy ordi
nary socks, tlerman socks, and over
shoes, (inlloplng through the brush

my mind a particularly useini and
comfortnhle garment.
It Is a high, dry country, where tho
winters nre usually very cold, but the
snow not under any circumstances
very deep. It Is wild and unbroken lit
character, the bills and low mountain
rising In sheer slopes, broken by cliff
and rlvpu by deeply cut and gloomy
gorges nnd ravines. The sage-brush
grows everywhere upon the flats nnd
hillsides. I.arge open groves of pin
yon and cedar nre seaitercd over tile
peaks, ridges and tablelands. Tall
spruces cluster In the cold ravines.
Cottonwood grow along the stream
courses, and there are occasional
patches of scrub-oak nnd quaking asp.
The entire country Is taken up with
cal tie ranges wherever It Is possible
t get a sttlllclent water supply, nat
ural or nrtlllcial. Some thirty mile
to the east nnd north the mountains
rbe higher, the ever-green forest be
conies continuous, the snow lies deep

ern nnlmals as the wolverine. Inelvce
nnd snowshoe rabbit are found. This
high country I the summer home of
the Colorado elk. which tire now rap
Idly becoming extinct, nnd of the Col
orado blncktail deer, which are still
very plentiful, but which, unless bet

the next decade or so. In winter both

WISE WORDS.
Candor Is not nlwny truth.
Stolidity Is not always solidity.
Happiness I ever a by product.
The best fruits must be touched by
frost.
Our Interests determine our Influ
ence. HJghteottsnrss Is the richest reward
of the right.
High tides of grief carry us over
file hidden bar.
It is always easier to ridicule a truth
thnu to realize it.
The force of gravity is surpassed
only by that of happiness.
It 1 folly to cut. down the green
blade because It bears no grain.
It Is not necessary to act the fool In
order to demonstrate that you are one.
Your success In life may depend as
much on your glvlug its on your gifts.
The army of success Is often but a
mobilization of shattered mistakes.
Truth will give up her treasures to
you when you give up your prejudices
to her.
It is a good deal easier to forget
what we ought to know t tin u it Is to
know what we ought to forget.
The man who covets his neighbor's
house would change his mind If lie
knew what was lu the closets.
The trouble with the people who look
on honesty as a good policy Is thnt
they are not willing to pay premiums.

Tlio Critical Vent- of Mairlril I.tfr.
"Some folks have a way of declaring
that the first year of married life Is
the most trying." writes Edward Bok
lu 1he Ladles' Home Journal. "But
where one gets a close knowledge of
several families the conviction is
brought home that the trying period
lies beyond the first year. I should
fix It rather at the third year, when
the pretty troussenu Is showing wear
and needs replenishing; when the wed
ding presents have lost their lustre,
nnd this thing has worn out. aud that
thing has to be replaced; when a little
family is growing up nnd doctor's bills
nre Introduced into the family reck
oning. Thnt Is the trying period when
interests nre apt to become very close.
Likewise calculations. Then It is thnt
the saving of the comparatively care
free and less expensive first year of
married life comes in handy, or is sad
ly missed if the income was then lived
up to iu unnecessary buying nnd fool
ish entertaining. A grent deal of hap
piness lu this world Is wrecked by
debt, nml generally the debt could
have been avoided If a little more care
and coumiou sense hud been exercised."
Long-Homed fetcer n Bark Number.
The long borued Texas steer has al
most passed away. Twenty years ago
the cattleman's pride was the length
of the widely extendiug horns ou his
cattle. The stockmeu in Indian Tcr
ritory came forward about 1H80 with
herds of short-horned cattle. Their
juicy, teuder beef caught the buyer's
fancy iu the Eastern markets, aud
from that time the popularity of the
long horns waned. Later Wt'stern
veteriuarinns found that long horns
were not ouly a useless incumbrance,
but that they supped the strength of
the animals, aud their roots were the
aeat of diseases like the mellow hoiu.

"Where." she asked, when she had
succeeded In getting the brilliant
young writer In a corner nwny from
tho crowd, "do yon get the Inspiration
for all the lovely tilings you produce?
I suppose you must be In the liabit of
going far nwny from the busy throng
where you can be all alone and com
niuue with nature. The distant hills,
the flower by the roadside, the setting
sun, the murmur of the brook, these.
I suppose, put yon In the mood for pro
ducing the charming things that come
from your pen."
"Well, no," he confessed. 'T can't
say that they do. It would be very
pleasant to go out nnd commune with
nature, but I'm afraid I wouldn't bo
Mf-plroti very hard. I get my Inspira
tion, right here In the busy town."
"Indeed!" she exclaimed. "How lu
the world do you manage II ?"
"Walking through the streets," he re
plied. "When I pass the grocery I
have nn Inspiration; iu front of the
butcher's another Inspiration conies to
me; If I chnnee to see tho tnllor look
ing out as I hurry ouwnrd 1 am In
spired ngnln, nnd a whole flock of In
spirations swoop down on me as I ap
proach the dry goods store where my
wife runs bills. The man who has to
get out In the fields to be Inspired is
lucky, but I'm ufrnld he doesn't get
right down to the heart of things"'
