tree, sure that nobody saw her. She
was mistaken. \ fellow-servant saw
her and made servants hall ring with

Just ut this moment the mistress entered

prosecuting the robbers, however. and
offered to furnish the money TO- have
the men brought to justice. But tha
young man was Obdurate and would not
swear out the warrant. He knew that
when he agreed to buy the gold bricks he
was compromising u crime, and he did
not wish to- place himself before the pub
Tic as an alder and al,cttor Of thieves.
me elder smith did not put the matter
IN THIS light; he thought his son had
been duped or forced in buying the
1 Sricks. and he did not mean to let pub
TIC opinion force him down. He came
To Denver several times to look into mat
tiers and placed the case in the hands of
the officers. who refused to make the ar
rest without the warrant. Two weeks
ago young Smith came to Denver, ind
found the men who had victimized him
living in the lap of luxury. This in
censed him, and he concluded to prose
cute. He went back to Leadville, swore
out the warrant, and placed It in the
hands of Sheriff Becker. How the ar
rest was made was fully described in
yesterdays Republican.
Sheriff Becker, in company with bis
prisoners, yesterday went to Leadville.
The men who have 80 long been living
on the tat Of the land, looked very de-
mure - they boarded the train.
Young Smith was very much cha
grined that the matter had been pub-
lished in the Rcpe'btjcan, and spent the
greater part of yesterday in attempting
to ferret cut the mystery Of the Rcpss6-
Ncan's inf 'rmati0n.
The elder Smith asserts that he will
spend $2O,OOO to prosecute the case
against the victimizen of his son.
The son fully recognizes Wilson and
6Omers as the men who made the over

VINO were undoubtedly 'pals," are
thought to be known. One Of them

compiling these precious roads to ruin.
l came down ON q Madison Avenue Cat
this evening, and on the tail end there
were three little chaps, the eldest about
II. Each was smoking cigarette, and
spat his little life away. I ventured to
ask if they enjoyed the O(lOr. They said
they did. And the taste:' Certainly.
On inquiring l found they had . we'll
known brand Of cigarette noted for Its
''opium soaks," and its terrible smell
wien burning. Poor little devils. They
can't last long. They were pale and
sickly, and puny and offensive. What
kind Of men will they make? Men
They're men ALREADY in their own eyes.
They and majority Of our little lads
are full Of the slang Of the day, up In all
catches, and abunllantly able to hold up
their end Of conversation. ! suisse

Garden. 1t would have done you good
to hear them talk. A blind man might

had seen it all before, and better done
than that. Down went the curtain, out
went the boys, but before they felt the
first breath Of the fresh air from the
street. each puny hand held u cigarette
to the vile-smeliing mouth, and puff {!

Day ny day vice grows stronger.
There was time when cigarette snlOk-
ing was confined almost entirely tn Gu
hams, who knew wnat good tobacco WAS
and made their own cigarettes. Gadu-
ally the habit spread. Dealers followed
suit. Makers became Inscriptions.
Little dirty boys were sent cut to pick
~ cigar stulnrs. Other equally dis
gustin. material was also utilized. OPP
INN was made to do duty. Cheap paper
took the place Of rice paper. | wish
tl.cse I,oys could see the stuff their paper
is made from! Wouldn't it turn their
little stOnlaclis: trOw, l trOw. The
cheap paper, the old stumps, the opium,
and chemicals used to make them
''stronx" deserve to Ike shown up. Par
cnts have no influence with their sons.
Why not: Because they smoke cigars
or ,irn.s themselves. The boys charge
all tile COCO advice they get t" their
fathers desire to keep them down.
There il but one way to deal with Amer
lean boys. Reason with them through,
their eyes. Ifevery nicotined stomach
was made public. If every time II man
died OF too much cigarette the fact was
made known, ii the proud boy could be
shown Il rag factory and stump grindery.

would Ike wound up very soon.-P"ito-
