WONDERFUL GROWTH OF A CITY.
The first settlement Of Denver,
Co.., was made twenty years ago,
and it now boasts OF 10000 inhab'
itants, whilst it's sanguine busl-
ness men predict that it's popula-
ton will soon reach 100000 peo-
pie. The region round about has
altered greatly. A short time
since it was but a sandy plain, re-
garded as sterile, and now, though,
irrigation, the whole Platte valley
is dotted with pleasant farm
houses, and presents many rural
charms. The town has not yet
been made healthful. Despite it's
elevation-near $500 feet-its
lack of sewerage causes diphthe'
ria to an alarming sxtent. 1t is
said that an enterprising cyan
kee" staked it out in 1859, but,
disappointed in selling lots aid
hearing of gold in the vicinity,
disposed of Denver to vagabond
Mexican for an old watch and
young mule, and rode off to seek
his fortune.

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH
Very few Of the sudden deaths
which are said to arise from dis
eases cf the heart really arise from
that cause. To ascertain the real
origin of the sudden deaths an ex-
pertinent was tried and reported
to scientific congress at Stras-
burg. Sizty-six cases of sudden
death were made the subject Of a
thorough post-mortem ezamina-
tion; in these cases only two were
found who died from disease of
the heart. Nine out of sixty-six
had died from apoplexy, while
there were forty-six cases of con-
gestion Of the lungs that IS, the
lungs were so full of blood that
they could not work, not being
room enough for a sufficient
amount of air to support life.
The causes that produce con-
gestion of the lungs are: Cold
feet, tight clothing, costive bow
els, sitting still until chilled after
being warmed with labor or a rap
id walk, going too suddenly from
a closed room into the air, es-
pecially after speaking too hasty
walking or running to catch a
train, etc. These causes Of sud-
den death being known, an avoid
ance Of them may serve to length
en- many valuable lives which
would otherwise be lost under the
verdict of the heart complaint.
That disease is supposed to be in
evitable and incurable; hence
many may not take the pains
they would to avoid sudden death,
if they knew it lay in their power.

The sun was almost down, but
tried to help US by lighting up the
dense thickets as it threw slant
ing rays among them. Hope had
almost died out Of Elial's fac,
when a scream, There she is,'
came from one Of the party. All
eyes turned aloft and there on
the limb Of a tall pine at least
twenty feet from the ground sat
Bruin with the unharmed baby
Her back was leaning against the
body Of a tree, while with her
right fore leg she held the boy as
tenderly and carefully as would
it's mother. We had cut her off
from her retreat; and the rough
bark of the tree had made it easy
for her to climb-as she supposed
out Of our way.
What was to be done? Forty
plans were suggested in jify.
One suggested one thing another
something different. Ten min
utes went by before anything was
decided on. Elia's voice rose
above ths rest, and we stopped
and heard him. He said:
Ben Sperry, you're the best shot
in Claremont. We will all get
under the tree; you shoot the
bear, and God willing, we'll catch
the baby as he falls. There amt
no other way. It'll soon be dark
and then'-here his voice broke in
sobs.
Quickly fifty pairs OF stout arms
arose, while | looked at old smooth
bore to see if she was all right.
I tell you good folks, I've stood
up and been shot at in the war Of
1912, and would again if I had
chance, and | have shot many
wildcat and bear, but never did
my heart thump as it did when I
drew a bead Oh that creetur..
1t was as still as death, and not
even the breathings ofthe anxious
men and eager boys could be
heard as drew my trusty gun to
bear on Bruins heart. Crack
she went, and first came the baby
safely caught, alive and we'll
and a second after, raking the
bark with her outstretched claws
tumbled the dying bear.
You think you've heard men
shout? Well you ought to have
heard the yell that split that still
ness as the sun set on Barnes
Swamp, while Elial hugged me
with tears streaming down his
cheek. The young fellers cut two
saplings, sharpened them, drove
them through old Bruin, fore and
aft; and shouldering the load,
marched into the settlement amid
the rejoicing, hurrahs and general
Notifications Of the whole town.

LITTLE WOMEN.

LITTLE WOMEN.
I'd like wife-a little wife,
| want no stately dame,
No regal Juno's lightning glance
Can set my heart a6ame.
Let others bend, with eager gaze,
At naughty beauty's throne,
But, ah it is fairy queen
Who claims me as her own!
A daanty, wee, and winsome thing
Like her the poet sings,
Who seems to tread this grosser earth
Upborne by fairy wings,
Who walks and talks and sings and smiles
In such a witching way,
That love must in her pathway spring
AS flowers spring in May.
III.
The little bird, as all can see,
Has e'er the sweetest song;
To little flowers in the shade
The sweetest blooms belong.
The little gem of purest ray
Is found without a flaw,
And little women rule the world
By universal law.
Her little head is always poised
With such an airy grace;
She's quite an artist in her hats,
And critic in her lace.
Her dress, however ruffed and pufed,
Is dainty, trim and neat;
And, oh! St. Crispin's leathern soul
Would melt before her feet.
I'll trast those feet, those little feet,
To never trip or fall;
I'll trust those little hands for help,
If help can come at all;
I'll trust that little heart to solve
The puzzling things of life;
I'll wait for thee, my dearest one,
To be my little wife!
