GI- I, IS well known that in high attitudes
owing to the rarided air, objects are visible at
great distance; and from the city Of Denver, the
Rocky Mountains, although some sixteen miles
distant, seem but very short way of. An Eng
lish gentleman, tourist, came in on the Kan.
sas Pacific train one morning, stopped at the
Inter-0coan Hotel in Denver, and soon made the
acquaintance Of two Of The "oll citizens" The
Englshman was captiyatod with the appearance
ofthe mountains, and suggested 10 the two sold
citizens" that, as the mountain range was such
a very short distance from the city, they should
all take a walk to it, and return in time for din
ner. The two "old citizens" saw chance for
sumo fun, and ilnm odiatoly consented. Tne trlo
started west and walked towards the mountains
for about two hours and half but tho noun
tains seemed as far away as ever. The English.
man was good walker, and kept little in ad
vance OF bis friends. Finally they saw him de-
liberately sit down, as he came TO & small irriga-
ting ditch, perhaps two feet wide, and begin
taking OF his boots and stockings. When they
came up to where he was sitting they asked him,
in some surprise, what he was doing that for.
The Englishman said he was going to wade the
stream. Both the ''old citizens" looking at him
in astonishment, asked him why he didn't step
across it. "Step across it," replied the British
er-"step across it Not II What do know
about distances in your confounded countryi"

LOVE PUT TO FLIGHT.

\ few days ago young couple i'll Wheeling.
Va, were 'sighing for the knot there's no IN
tying" They had know each other long, and
and thought they knew each other we'll.
One evening the gallant called upon his future
bride. He had passed the previous night with 8
party Of bachelor friends, and didn't ''go home
till morning" As consequence, not even the
bright eyes Of his dulcina could drive sleep
from his eyolids. He reclined on the sofa, and
suddenly dropped into the land Of dreams
Heavy breathing was followed by slight snore,
which developed into q snort that made tho
house to trembc. There was as little variation
in the nasal music as in the putting of L.. "a.
pressure steamer.
The young lady began to think Of the future
then w.pt. She shook her sleeping lover, but
he snored with renewed vigor. a. last she was
furious, and leizing his hair, gave it Jerk that
brought him to his feet. He stammored;
whats the matter, my"
Matter enough" she replied Il shall die an
old maid before l marry man that snores.
Good nightl'
She lett the parior-he the house. The young
lady could not keep the secret, and the reason
why the match was broken oil is now generally
known among their circle Of friends.
