Clerk, Confidential Agent, or some
thing of this kind, when he has not
proue's his fitness for anything. He
is too nice to accept manual labor.
He wants brain work, when all the
brains he has appear to be in that part
of his anatomy used to hold chair in
place in some saloon or other resort Of
idleness. Others may work, but he
will not. He spends his time in loaf
ing about saloons, gambling shops,
cigar stands, or on street corners,
looking at the ankles Of fast girls, and
emitting smutty remarks. His wife,
if he has one, can rub, scrub and drub,
lug in coal, lug out slops, break her
health, ETC., but he is too lazy, or too
stuck up to turn his hand to anything
useful. Instead of loafng away his
time, he might be studying spelling
book, reading history, sweeping the
dirt away from his premises, or in
dying, to be out Of the way. Wehave
no patience with laziness. Sickness
draws our sympathy; misfortune ex-
cites pity; but substrata of laziness,
with a dressing Of loaferishness and
hang-about-ativeness, deserves only a
place in graveyard. When stout,
healthy man says he cannot obtain
employment in this State, he is liar.
There is steady demand for labor in
Colorado. Not for lazy, loutish loaf
ers, but for men who are not ashamed
to be seen engaged in the great work
of supporting themselves.
There are mines to open, cellars to
dig, walls to lay, streets to repair,
rubbish piles to remove, lands to be
cultivated, work to be done every
where; and there is demand for men
who dare to win by honest industry.
True manhood seeks employment and
finds it-not at the top of the ladder
to work down, but at the bottom to
work up.
When we see a quick, smart, mind
his-own-business man, we feel like
doing something for him. When we
are run in upon by lazy, complain
ing, peering, peeking person, who
wants big salary for doing nothing,
we feel that death has not done its
duty.
Young man, get up and get to do
ing something's nothing but fur
nishing spit for some bootblack!

Scientific Advancement,

Scientific advancement, it has been
remarked, has been slower and less
noticeable in the care Of the sick and
the treatment Of disease than in any
other department of human knowl-
edge. The life or death of patient
is too frequently mere matter Of ac-
cident or chance. Some great discov-
cries, however, have been made and
certain remedies are known and used
with almost infalible curative results
Such remedy is Taraxine where a de,
ranged liver is involved, or where dis
eases of the Bowels, Kidneys or Spleen
prevail. For sale by E. D. Lewis

We are not in the habit of putting
any sort of patent medicines in our col
umns, for the business of newspaper
is to let people know what is going
on in the world, and not to lend aid
to what may be an imposition. But
we happen to know DIR. David Ken
nedy, of Rondout, N. Y, and can per-
sonally testify to the, excellence of
the medicine which the Doctor calls
"Favorite Remedy, For diseases Of
the Blood, Kidneys, and Bowels it has
no equal. We would not be without
it for five times the dollar that it cost.

PietrO CuneO-The Biography of An Old
Joul lnalist-An Example for Boys to
Follow.
On May 10, 1949, middle aged
man, accompanied by boy Of about
twelve years, stopped to look at Trini-
ty Church on Broadway, in the city
Of New York. Both came from Italy,
the one a father, the other his son,
natives of Peau de Cuni, Centenoli
Chiarari. Nobody greeted them on
their arrival in this country; nobody
cared for them; nobody offered them
work to enable them to make a living.
Both knew absolutely nothing Of the
English language. Their baggage
was small, and their purse still smaller
The father, unable to find employ
ment, was compelled, for two or three
years, to wander about the city and
adjacent country with an organ on
his shoulders, and the weary and dis
couraged boy by his side, gathering an
uncertain subsistence from the curl
Gus, the idle, and the benevolent in
this land so far away from the sunny
shores of beloved Italy The boys
heart revolted at this miserable mode
Of earning his daily bread. He could
no longer submit to the humiliation
of handing around a basket for con-
tributions. Fully impressed with the
idea that there was something better
for him in this land of the free, one
fine day he disappeared, and was seen
no more.
Thirty-two years passed away. On
the I'd of December, 1881, special
railway train brought to New York a
large number of journalists, as repre-
sentatives of the ''Ohio Press" many
of them widely known and highly es-
teemed in their professional calling.
General Grant heard Of their coming
and invited the entire delegation to
his splendid mansion. Among them
was a man apparently forty-five years
of age, robust in health, rather tall,
though somewhat bent, with sharp,
piercing dark eyes, and his locks feck-
ed with the frosts of maturing years.
None could see him without desiring
to know who he was, and something
Of his history. The General treated
this guest with marked consideration,
and he was finally ascertained to be
the editor and proprietor of the Wy
andot County Republican, whom the
hero of the war for the Union seemed
delighted to honor.
This was the very boy who, in 1850,
abandoned his father in the city of
New York, rather than lead, what was
to him, degraded life, without prom
ise, without hope.

He was then seventeen years old
and fully realized how much his flu

SINCE the sale of liquor has been
stopped at Augusta, Arkansas the
Marshal of that town has had nothing
to do, and the office is to be abolished.
When will the people of st. Louis try
that sort of retrenchmentp \ How
many officers and clerks in this city
would find their occupation gone if
there was no liquor sold? What
would the policemen do who are now
busily employed in marching two or
three dozen drunks to the Four Courts
every morning? Does the bosom of
our good-natured taxpayer ever
swell with patriotism for his glorious,
free country, when he sees a police
man take drunken man or woman to
the station-house, and knows that he
is one of the rulers, and helps to pay
for that arrest?

New Jersey Crane Wine.

The success of Mr.. Speer, the great

from the strict purity and valuable
properties Of his wines for invalids
and feeble persons, and his reputation
extends over the whole uniona as being
a reliable producer Of pure vines. His
Port Grape Wine is now being order

Can't Find Employment! !

What difference in men. Here IN
Denver are two classes, at least. Those
who are at work, and those who are
not. One man GENES to Denver, gets
off the cars, and in less than twenty
four hours has found employment.
Why? Because he is man. Because
he is not a natural drone or loafer
Another comes and looks for employ
ment. Perhaps the poor devil has not
a dollar. He wants a situation as

,JeaIOUSy.

Some poet has said that "All tor
ments of the damned we find in only
thee, Oh Jealousy, thou tyrant of the
mind" This is grandly sweeping and
magnifcently inaccurate. Any suf-
ferer from Indigestion knows to the
contrary. Indigestion the villain Of
the tragedy played among the gastric
juices Of the stomach can, and does
double discount the horrors Of jeal-
ousy. Jealousy is often an attendant
upon the latter, and when indigestion
is removed this jaundiced companion
of deranged liver flies. Taraxine is
the best known remedy extant for i'm
paired digestion, deranged liver, and
diseases Of the bowels and kidneys.

man. Folden was on the same sail
ing vessel and it was shipwrecked
near the Breakwater, by which circum-
stance they became acquainted, though
later in life they were separated, and have
lately renewed their old intimacy. Mr..
Edwards came to this city and county

rag business. In. Strasburg, where he
married his wife Miss Bartholomew

Mr.. Edwards drove the stage between that
town and Lancaster. About the begin
ming of the war he bought the building

South Queen street, and resided there
until year or more ago, when he sold it
and removed to West King street, where
they continued the millinery business until
his wife's death dissolved their household.
Mr.. Edwards was a member of the Pres
