An exchange says: eve want people
to borrow our paper, and We hope no one
will stop reading it because they can't
afford copy, so long as they Can beg,
steal or borrow one, or the use of it. A
paper that is borrowed good deal is like
good wheelbarow, or a good stump
puller, or good kraut cutter-it must
have some merit or it would not be want
ed" And then it boastfully adds: awe
know of one woman who borrowed the
reading Of this paper for three years and
a half, and then became converted and
joined the church. On another man il
had nearly the opposite effect; he ha,
borrowed it so long that he would moi
rent house in neighborhood where that
paper wasn't taken"

THE TEMPEST.

We are crowded in the cabin,
Not soul would dare to sleep
1t was midnight on the waters,
And storm was On the deep.
IT'S fearful thing in winter,
To be shattered BY the blast,
Ana to hear the rafting trumpet
Thunder, "Cut away the mast T.
So We shuddered there in silence
For the stoutest held their breath,
While the hungry sea was roaring.
And the breakers talked with death.
And thus we sat in darkness,
Each one busy in his prayers,
ave are lost !" the Captain shouted,
As he staggered down the stairs.
But his little daughter whispered,
As he took his icy hand,
''Isn't God upon the ocean,
Just the same as On the land p
Then he kissed the little maiden,
And We spoke in better cheer.
Aud We anchored safe i'll harbor
When the morn was shining clear.

A Double We ding.

Last Thursday evening Canon City lost
two of its attractive and popular young
ladies, the Misses Minnie b. and Effic NJ.
Edmondson, daughters of the efficient engi-
neer at tho State penitentiary, Mr.. J. C.
Edmondson.
The young gentlemen who invaded our
pleasant valley and succeeded in capturing
the fair ones, were Mr.. Geo. Powell, of Lake
Valley, New Mexico, and Mr.. Elias L. Rost
of Denver. They are both industrious and
enterprising, Mr.. Powell being engaged in
the stock business, while Mr. Rost is a
grocer. They have made an early and sue,
cessful start, and their future is full of hope
and promise.
Their concentrated action was n complete
surprise to the friends of the ladies. We
suspect, however, that tho Rev. j. W. Part
ridge was privy to it, for he was present
and performed the ceremony
Hereafter when we have the pleasure of
meeting them, we must know Miss Minnie
as Mrs. Powell, and Miss Efie as Mrs. Rost
In leaving the city they will be missed
by many admiring friends, who esteem
their sterling worth, and they go, attended
by the kindest wishes, all trusting that in
coming days they may realize the bright
anticipations of the present.
But, young men, don't be caught nap
ping again! Caiion City prefers to keep its
valuable gems in its home collections.

The Thornton Mine.

Mr.. Thomas Thornton, this week, re-
ceived his immense pump, which Will be
used to take the water from his coal mine.
1t is one of the Knowles pattern and has a
capacity of 5000 gallons per hour. 1t is
now in position, seventy feet down the
shaft, and will be placed thirteen feet
lower as soon as sufficient water is taken
out. This mine, which is only q half mile
south of the South Caflon school house
bids fair to make its mark as one of the
best in this neighborhood. Mr.. Thornton
has all the money necessary to develop
his claim, and also has any amount Of e1-
perience and perseverance. The waste
water from this mine will be sufficient to
irrigate a number of acres of good land
which adjoins it, thus making enough till
able land TO. pay the expense of pumping.
A sixteen horse boiler will be used for
power, and everything possible will be
done to put the mine on a solid basis.

ALL FOR CHARITY.
Canon's First Charity Ball Proves to
He Success.

The ball given at Blalle's hall on Thurs
day proved to be success financially as
well as otherwise. 1t was the first attempt
made in thiscity to raise money for the
poor by such means, and considering the
fact of it being given during lent when a
number of our society people do not
attend balls, the receipts were very salts
factory. About sixty dollars was taken in,
and as the expenses were much lighter
than usual, there will be sufficient sum
left to relieve the wants of the few who
are in need.
To Messrs. r. A. johnson and H. L.
McClanahan belongs the credit of having
originated aud carried the project through
to successful termination. There were a
number of very good characters repre-
sented, both male and female, but want of
space prevents us from giving names.

a Jolly Picnic.

A party Of Cafionites who wished to do
honor to George Washington, Esq, en-
gagged number of carriages and buggies
and drove to the upper limits of the
Grand Canon and spent last Thursday in a
most glorious manner. Lunch was pro-
vided and the trip was enjoyed most
hugely, and as the day was as perfect
rs could have been found during the
entire year, the excursion was most
delightful one. The view of tho Grand
Gallon from above, looking down, is
grander if possible than that secn from the
observation cars, the Arkansas river
appearing like silver thread winding its
way through the deep cut mountain. The
party making the trip were, Dr. Butler
and Miss Harsha, DIR. Gray and Miss
Pattee, Prof Baker and wife, Mr. Charles
Harrington and Miss Nelson, Bfr. G. W.
Bethel and Miss Cora Mitchell, Mr. T. VI.
Harding and wife, and Mr., w. A. Helm,

4 Graceful Tribute From "a Scholarly

tASoN Sllh, SDTuaIy <s-u, Icco.
To He Public:
1t is with pleasure that give my te.ti-
mony to the exceptional value of Johnson's
New Universal Cyclopedia. My estimate
Of it is not based upon n hasty glance, but
upon continued use of it for more than
three years. Having considerable acquaint-
aDce with other encyclopedias, | find that
this answefr-ruy purpose better than any
other. 1t Is not TOO volumi.lous; its arti-
cles generally being brief and to the point.
1t does not indulge much in criticisms but
aims to give us facts. In science it gives US
the latest results of investigation and ex-
pertinent, and is especially rich in its bio
graphical contributions. 1t is peculiarly
free from sll partisan biases in theology.
medicine &C. giving all schools an oppor-
tunity of representing themselves fairly,
furnishing us only with the data necessary
in forming our own conclusions. A feature
which we prize highly is the fsct that it
gives the names of the contributors OF its
principal articles, so that me msy know
whom we consult or quote, and conse-
quently may be sure OF our authorities.

MRS. pREsTIss, MusIoALR. ,
The Glass Prove That They Have an
Able INSTRUCTOR.

<On Tuesday evening the lovers of vocal
music were treated to an excellent concert
at the Military College armory, by Mrs
Prentiss and her well drilled class. The
room was comfortably filled and the audi
ence seemed pleased with the evenings
entertainment. The occasion was the clos
ing of tho first term of the singing class,
and as the scholars showed marked i'm
provemont, it is safe to predict that the
drill which they will receive in the future
viii bring out number of excellent vocal
lists. The Greeting song, by the class, was
well received and ELECTED deserved praise.
The solo, When the Leaves Begin to
Turn by Prof. Dickinson, was ably rem
dered. The Laughing song f" by Mrs.
Prentiss, was gem and brought down the
house Mr. II. E. McClanahan sang fine
solo, BY the Sad Sea Waves in his usual
excellent style. The class next gave Hark
to the Bugle Calln and were highly com
plimented for their proficiency. The orches-
trs rendered the famous overture, "CaIiph
of Bagdad in a most praise worthy man
ner, which was followed by another solo
True Heart" by Prof. Dickinson, which
did that gentleman much credit. As 3
closing piece the class gave the echo
song in way which fully evinced the fact
that the instruction received from their
teacher had been well bestowed. This ini-
tial entertainment may be considered sue
cess and will have the effect of adding
many new member 70 class, when il

Free q BUS 60 the Depot.

Mr. Mckissick intends having printed
on card in large letters, and hung up in
his bus" This is not free conveyance
SO many people thoughtlessly impose upon
good nature gnd ride to the train and back
without offering to pay a cent, that often
times when strangers, who are willing to
pay, try to get ride, they find the bus
overerowded. This is all wrong to ask n
man who happens to run public convey
anee, TO WORK for nothing any more than
one OF our merchants should allow his
goods to be taken from his store without
payment
