Truth is Mighty.
How the Truth Astonished the
Colorado Liar.

OUT In KANSAS, Nov.-E litor of
tbs Tribune Night caught me at
a country hotel in Western kansaa.
Around the Office stove were gath
cred 'ranchmen from Colorado and
Kansas. Among the ranchmen were
swearing COWBOYS from Texas and
cultured Englishmen, graduates from
Oxford University, who knew so
much Greek and Astronomy that they
couldn't earn a living in England 40
their rich fathers had ''set them up"
on Kansas sheep ranch.
Iu the crowd was the usual Colo
rado liar. / can always distinguish
this professional Colorado liar. He
is not free talker. He does not
waste words with every man in the
room, but he sits with scrowl on
his brow and his slouch hat pulled
over his eyes. Occasionally he lifts
his eyes from the burning cigar stub
on the hearth and makes solemn
remark. When he does speak every
body listens. He has something i'm
portant to say. When l first motto
ed him he had his eyes on the hearth,
but one ear was inclined toward an
English rancher from Oxford
University.
Speaking of seeing long dis
tances,' remarked the Englishman
slowly, Il have often observed while
standing on the cliffs of Dover, that

Channal to Calais, France, aud

interrupted Colorado Bill, as he
brushed up his hat in front.

OF Pixies Peak and seen the Mis-

"Why, that amt nothing 'tall?"
exclaimed Kaaterskiil Mountain

"See the North river, bout 20
miles off, interrupted Colorado Bill,
contemptuously.
'No, sir-further'n that!"
"P'raps you kin see the Berkshire
Hills, and mebby you kin look over
'em and see Boston an the 'Lantic
Ocean ?" repeated Bill ironically and
With an idea of exposing to the crowd
what bungling liar the Yankee was.
"Further'n that-further'n that !'
exclaimed the Yankee.

his hand down into his pocket and

TIE HEATED TERM.

What is TO be done during this
Intensely heated termP is the CUES
Zion of the hour. The least that
Sean be done physically is of course
what everybody is looking TO, but
we all have TO keep moving more
,or less, and the nearly vertical rays
of the sun make moving at all, with
gor without attendant exertfon, one
of the most unpleasant things in
life. With the mercury climbing
up and playing around the 1909

and other like expedients merely
ireduce the oppression and afford
very slight protection. SO it clearly
remains that what we want more
than anything else is not merely
personal precautions but something
of a more wides pread and general
character, such as incessant street
6prinkiing, etc.
1t is an absolute fact that this is
che warmest summer, SO far, we
nave experienced for years, and il
is also true that the heat increases
Eather than diminishes. If the C l.

An ArIstocratic Dog.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel l


 There were two of them, one a man, the other dog. The man WAS tall, raw boned specimen of humanity and his face wore an expression of care. He held a little string in one hand and at the other end of the string was a very asthetic pug dog. The faces bore striking resemblance to each other, but there was a certain aristocratic look about the pug's face and he daintily raised one of his paws and shook of piece of coal dust which had settled thereon.
 twill yez blaze tell where the perlice sta- ton is, till take this little divil there ?'' ''Why, that dog looks like good animal, D remarked the reporter.
 The descendant of an ancient line of Irish kings drew himself up and look of pity stole across his face.

An the only thing he wud ate wus poi an cake. An he'd sleep no place but in me own bed on wun of the pillows. I stood it four days, an, be hevings, I'll stand 1t no longer. I'm no aristocrat. an a dog what ates poi and cake is too high toned for me.

The Parallel Road Scheme,


 This year the Hartford and Harlem is the fsvorite parallel road scheme. The Jewell Redfeld scheme of last year was laid out on several different plans, which in the aggre- gate proposed to run through 8 majority of the towns in eastern Connecticut, and in that way captured the votes of many representa- tives. That has gone to the rear. The orig inal layout of the Hartford and Harlem has already been changed, and that corporation, notwithstanding there is now on the statute book 8 very liberal general railroad law, which was passed last year to meet the views of the advocates of parallel road. and was pronounced by them entirely satifactory, is now virtually asking for special charter That the parallel scheme should come up each year in different shape is fact that in the eyes of many members of the General Assembly excites suspicion. It IS calculated to lend some force to the claim that the scheme is of purely speculative nature and is not intended to benefit the people of Con- nectieut The Hartford and Harlem IS not in any sense a Connecticut enterprise. The men who have it in hand are New York and Boston speculators. The General Assembly of Connecticut should think twice before they strike blow at the Consolidated road It should be remembered that the stock of the Consolidated is mostly owned in small lots by citizens of this State. Let the Con- solidated be regulated and supervised in the interests of the people so far as may be nee essary and lawful, but do not let it be vic timized by outside spectators.

Camping with the Baby.
 

Bourgeois" sends from Denver to the An l gler bit of fsherman's painting of life at Pine Groqe on the South Park railroad. ] In it occurs the following tender piece of wood-sketching "It was determined that baby and I should tend camp for half an hour or so that afternoon while the three natu- ral guardians wandered off to the adjacent hillside to gather wild flowers wherewith to deck the tea table. This was no new busi- ness to us. The young man, with pillow at his back seated in the middle of blanket, rubbing his face with teaspoon; lying prone three feet away, with toes beating an occasional tattoo on the soft sward, my ch in in my hands and briar root between m y teeth, watching him. There was bright light in his eye, and his cheeks were rosy, soft as velvet yet firm and cool What is there like the touch of baby's cheek press ed against your own? You must turn and
 kiss it, just as you did it's mother the first time you had right to. But is there any thing more ridiculous in life than to see 8
 baby attempt to put spoon into it's mouth before 1t has got the knack of it. See him
 hit himself in the eye with it, pretty much
 as drunken man would knock fly of his
 nose; smear it down his face, with his
 mouth wide open and turned up like rob
 in's, but it misses the place on the way down;
 he takes it with both chubby fists, looks at
 it with dignifed surprise, as though for the
 first time aware of it's presence, lets go one
 hand, whacks the spoon against one ear and
 drags it across his cheek with the same result.
 But persistence is characteristic of this baby,
 quiet determination that has something ap-
 palling about it. If there were any raspber-
 ry jam on that spoon hls face would look
 worse than railroad map of the State of New
 York Finally, and as it would seem after
 all more by accident, than design, the spoon
 reaches the right place; he twists It round
 to the distortion of his rosebud mouth then
 he looks at me, sees me laughing the fun
 seems to dawn upon him; he takes the spoon
 out of his mouth, pounds the blanket with
 it, and smiles back at me and the smile re-
 solves itself into well-defned laugh. The
 sun has just disappeared behind the range,
 but there is mellow ray of golden light that
