from. the Chicago Medical Gollege-James
E. Henderson and Daniel E. Williams.

iag the Youngest man of the Arapahoe dele
gation, and of representing the colored vo-
tiers of the country. Although colored
man himself, he was not chosen for that rea-
son but because he is a Republican and fa4sy

only his race and party, but the people of
the State in the halls of legislation. His
parents were both slaves and he was born in
Fredericksburg on August 23, 1856. r.

where they remained several years. In that
city Sample received the rudiments of a
common school education by working MORN
ings and evenings. Leaving Detroit he
went to Wellington, Ohio, where he learned
the trade of barber. While IN this city
he was employed in the post-office to the
entire satisfaction of the postmaster. Leav-
ing Ohio, he returned to has old home,
where he engaged in his business, remain
ing until 1878, when he came to Denver,
and has since been one of our citizens en-
gagged in active business. Young, intelli7
gent and ambitious, he has applied himself
to study with such success that he is now
thoroughly educated end enjoys the respect
and confidence of all who know him, and
by his practical knowledge of men, no less
than by his intelligent qualities, is fitted for
the position he has been called upon to fill.

IN LOVE WITH BOOTH.
Foolish Girl Tempts Fate, and is Fortunate In the
Mans Honesty.
(Ne,c York Star.)


Speaking of the prosecutions of ac-
tors reminds me of very pretty story
regarding Edwin Booth. 1t was while
he was playing at the Winter Garden
that a young Miss in her teens fell des-
perately in love with him. She was
the only daughter of wealthy parents,
and night after night she would make
some excuse to leave home and go to
the theatre. She deluged Booth with
love-letters, and finally he wrote to
her telling her to meet him at the
stage-door at the end of the perform
ance on a certain evening. She was
there according to the appointment
made. Booth handed her into his car
riage and gave some whispered in
structions to the driver. The horses
were driven rapidly, and in few mo-
ments the young girl found herself in
front of her own house. The carriage
stopped, and Booth assisted her to
alight. Taking her arm in his, he
walked with her up the stoop and rang
the bell. It was late, and the young
girls father, who had become very
anxious about her whereabouts, came
to the door. When he saw her in the
company of the actor he started back
in astonishment.
"Mr.-,'' said Booth, very quiet
ly, 81 have brought your daughter
home. She has been very foolish, but
she has promised never to be so again,
and / would advise you to take better
care Of her." With these words he
turned and left. That young girl is
now a happy wife and mother, but she
meyer tires Of telling the lesson she re-
ceived from the great actor.

A Precocious Boy.
{ Tcras SiftinQS.)

(Ieras Svtings.
An Austin gentleman who had not
been home for several hours, met his
eldest boy on the street, and asked
him how all were coming on at home.
Well" replied the boy, counting
on his fingers, when left home ba-
by's measles had begun to break out,
Jack was bowling with his mumps,
Dick was screaming with the tooth
ache, and Tom had a silver in his toe. ;"
"There does not seen to be any

his father.
No, my sufferings are all mental.
I am suffering for dollar to 60 and

That's not a proper performance

parent, fondling the ticket for a front
seat, which he had in his pants pock-

The Largest Three Statues,

A mania for the erection of statues
of dimensions such as the world has
never seen before seems to have seized
on the two rival countries of the con-
tinent. The statue of the Republic in
the Place du Chateau d'Eau was dis
played to public view on Saturday
amid the rejoicings of the citizens of
Paris, and in a few weeks the enor-
nous figure of Germania, which is
being erected in honor of the victories
of 1870 and 1871 on the Niederwah,
overlooking the Rhine, will be un-
yelled in the presence of the emperor.
Both of them will be dwarfed, how
ever, by the huge statue of Liberty,
which, through the generous contri-
buttons of the French nation, will be
presented in short time to the Amer
leans. This will be at least $50 feet
in height, and it will stand upon ped
eStal of the same height, at the en-
trance of the harbor of New York, to
welcome emigrants to Their new h. ma
