Mr.. Jones Suffers From Misapplied
Remedy.

Jones still lives. After escaping the
critics and the anger of 4 Justly in
censed populacc, and surviving the bod
lily perils of an amateurs debut, he has
come near to meeting death at the
hands of the wife of his bosom, and now
lies weak and helpless as month old
baby, trying to plan out an adequate
revenge when Jeptha is himself again.
1t would be funny were it not so fatal,
but Mrs. Jones says no bopes are broken,
and that he needed heroic treatment; he
certainly got it.
You see, the family doctor is an alb
sent-minded sort of man, and the other
day rs he left the house after giving
Mrs. Jones bottle of medicine for
Jones measles, he was staring about
him in dazed sort of way as he went
out: and Mrs. j. began to think Jeptha
might be worse than she imagined. and
she asked rather anxiously:
Is there anything else, doctore"
''Give him the prescription regular

Mr.. Jones had fallen into a feverish
sleep in which the measles and Shakes
peare and sword swallowing were con.
siderably mixed up, when he suddenly
awoke and saw Mrs. Jones standing
looking at him on one side of the bed,
and Bridget heroically planted on the
other.

with feeling that he must be dying.

Bridget took hold: it was something
like the grip of a bulldog and it caught
Jones in the ribs ut the same moment
that the ticklish fingers of his wife were
inserted on the other side.
''Now shaker directed Mrs Jones.
and for the next five minutes the wretch,
ed man had q dissolving view of the
heavens and the earth: he tried to pray,
but Bridget's knuckles took every bit OF
breath out of him. and rs he rose and

wouldn't get cold.

worries her is the expression of his eyes.

THE MOMENTOUS QUESTION:

They stood beside the garden gate,
Beneath the elm trees spreading shade;
1t was the solemn hour OF eve,
The witching time for lovers made.
He watched the radiant orbs of night,
AS one by one they gemmed the sky;
He gazcd upon her comely form,
Her lovely neck and lustrous eye.
She nestled closely to his side,
No word she spoke, but only pressed,
With trustful look and gentle mien,
Her graceful head against his breast
He gazed upon the glossy hair,
Which well adorned that shapely head;
He looked upon her dainty feet,
And then these little words he said:
"COuld she be is?"-and, as he asked,
He fondly stroked that glossy hair:
"Oh. yes the farmer said he'd take

Work with the building trades in Denver

A number of buildings are IN course OF con-
structiOn, but owing to the rainy weather
the men have lost a great deal Of time during
the past two weeks. Work on several large
buildings, it is said, will be begun during the

The BrickIayerS union of New York City
recorded another victory last week. The

Pence. BE stu.

The difficulty between the members
of the lWo different Chinese companies
in this citv was settled Wednesday, and
withdrawn from Justice SOpri'S court,
the factions dividing the costs of the
case between them. Fon Sing, who
came from San Francisco for the Osten-
sible purpose of interpreting the evi-
dence in the case, appears to have been
the peace-maker. What he really said
and did to the Cinnamon is not known,
but the fact that one of the tribe who is
known to be one Of the leaders in this
country so easily queIled the disturb
ance. is another evidence that what we
say concerning the whole outfit being
under the rule Of the Chinese govern
ment and subject to it's orders is here
evidenced. The courts Ot this city
might hammer away at the case for a
year and be as far from knowing any
thing concerning the truth Of it as a
babe unborn; but an agent Of the Chi.
nese government can whisper one little
word of authority iE the ears of the
belligerents and all is as peaceful as
summer day. There seems to be an
opinion that the trouble is not yet set
tied, and that as soon as FOn Sing IS
gone it will break out again, and serious
results ensue. We would to God thev
were right, and that dead Cinnamon
would be piled up on Wazee street as
thick as crimes now are on the govern
ment that allows them to live on this
continent; but we have no such hope
Our readers have not forgotten that a
Chinaman was murdered by one Of his
own race in this city about a year ago
and no one ever knew by whom or for
what cause. No Chinese community
exists without it's government assassin,
and orders disobeyed are the signals for
him to act No matter how many see
the murder committed or are privy to it,
all the courts of America cannot pierce
the veil of secrecy that is thrown about
it. We have not the slightest objection
to our justices and cOnStabIes bleeding
the ceIestiaIs financially, but if there is
any show of their butchering each other,
we would like to petition the police otti-
GERS to, for Gods sake, allow the slaugh-
ter to 60 on uninterrupted, once it is
brgun.

Tenacious TaiIOrs.

There is no change in the situation of
the trouble between the Tailors' Protec-
ton society of this city and the rat con-
Germ of Frank & Putnam. We are in
formed that work is very slack with
these gentlemen (?) and they are being
considerably worsted by their unprinci-
pied conduct. Several tailors have left
their employ during the past two weeks
and joined the union. However, they
still have two or three men to do the lit
tie work they have in the shop.

Plain Facts Plainly Spoken.

At one time the discussion of the secret
vice was entirely avoided by the profession,
and medical works Of but few years ago

thank him for doing so.
The results attending this destructive vice
were formerly not understood, OTnOtprOpprIy
eStmatedi and no importance being attached
to a subject which by its nature does not in

nOred.

OF self abuse. Among tie injurious effects
may be mentioned laSSitUdee detection, or
