The young ladies are going to get up
an anti-cigaret society. The question
upon which they are divided now is
whether it will be better to refuse to kiss
all the young men who soil their lips
with tobacco or to agree to kiss all
those who do not. As most OF them
favor the latter proposition there is
great rejoicing in the ranks of the nom
smokers.

DENVER, COL, TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
AGO.

Why, In that early golden age no
doors were locked at night; the intel
lectual tramp had not yet heard Of
Colorado; the cultured eastern burglar
was still doing missionary work in New
England, and the bogus insurance
company was then relieving the widow
and the orphan in the land of the
Puritans. And there were no dudes
here then. Just fancy one of those
little animals out here among the
pioneers, dressed in wash basin hat, a
blue necktie, q bob-tailed velvet coat,
sausage-skin pants and patent leather
shoes, with the toe az long and sharp as
picket pin, riding along gulch upon
a saddle about the size and shape of a
miners pancake, as he now joggles along
Broadway at single-foot gait, looking
"just too sweet for anything" Laugh
ter Why, the pioneers would have
lassoed him for new species of jackass
rabbit; the women would have run him
through sluice box and PANIED him
out for dollar-store brass hair-pin.
And there we're no Mother Hubbard
gowns then. [Laughter.] Picture, if
you can, a pioneer woman in Mother
Hubbard gown sailing around a camp
fire. No; our pioneer woman had no
such habits. Loud laughter.] Nor
did the pioneers wear stovepipe hats.
l remember the first plug hat l ever
saw on the head of a pioneer. 1t adorned
the crown Of =. p. Wilcox as he ventured
timidly along Lariiner street one day.
True, this was as late as 1866, and the
pioneer days were then considered past,
but it was sad example, and was the
first step to a sad end. That erring
brother has come down to be an Indian
agent From speech by w. F. Stone.
THE FATHER OF FoRTY-Two Chill
DREN.-John Heffner, a ragpicker Of
Reading. Pa, aged So, was killed re-
Gently BY locomotive. He himself is
the authority of the statement that he is
the father of forty-two children. He
was small wiry, hump-backed, dark
skinned man, and was born in Ger
many. At % he married his first wife
in Germany. She lived eight years,
and in that time became the mother of
seventeen children-twins twice, trip
lets four times, and single child. He
employed young woman to take
charge Of the brood Of seventeen little
ones, and in lS49 she became his wife.
In due time she became the mother of
fifteen children, and died in 1857.
Twelve of the little ones died, leaving
twenty in the brood. He then brought
them to America, and in 1858 married
his third wife, a widow with one child.
She bore him ten children, making
forty-two in all, small number Of
whom are now living. He seemed to
enjoy himself, and went through life ap-
parently happy end contented. He was
unable to save much money.
