During the past spring and summer ouI

Colorado. and after climbing our peaks.
exploring our canyons and s~nowballing in
midsummer to their hearts content, re.
turned delighted with our scenic attrac,
tions, and charmed by the spirit of hearty
hospitality with which they were wei
coined. Now it should be our duty, and
a pleasant one, to return these visits.
The Fort Worth railroad has given us the
opportunity. Their advertising depart.
ment has Just issued a pamphlet entitled
Winter Tourist Routes and Rates from
the Summit to the Sea-" giving reduced
excursion rates for this winter season and
a number of different routes through the
South.
Uoloradoans cannot Justly plead the
necessity of escaping from a severe winter,
but many of them would be pleased with
the change to a semi-tropical climate
where the flowers perpetually bloom, and
a visit to places of such historic interest
as Houston, Austin, Galveston, San An.
tonic or New Orleans. Or, if they should
wish stranger or more tropical chimes
these routes include a trip to such interest

THEY WERE BLUFFING.
The Laramie Gun Club Afraid of the
Cheyenne Men.

Last week j. P. Heubrick, represent
ing the Laramie City gun club, visited
Cheyenne for the avowed purpose of ar
ranging a trap match between shot gun
experts of the towns. He suggested a
side shoot of six men from each place for
a purse of $500, live birds for targets.
The def was promptly accepted. and avail
ing themselves OF the privilege of the
challenged party the local sports named
Cheyenne as the scene of the contest.
They also deposited a $50 forfeit with P.
Bergersen, and notified the Laramie club
of their action. There is more ''shoot-
mouth" than shoot in the men over the
hill, as evidenced by the subjoined letter
re ceived here Yesterday. It's a clear back
down on the part of the ch~allengers.
LARAMIE, Wyo., Jan. 6.-Yours Of the
4th inst. at hand-would say that it meets
with considerable opposition from the
shooters here.
At the preliminary meeting held here
on the 9th our men expressed themselves
as willing to shoot, but not at Cheyenne,
and also that they did not wish to shoot
for SO much money, and would prefer to
shoot clay birds or blue rocks. 1t was
thought that a shoot for a small purse, at
either clay birds or blue rocks. would be
an inducement toward further matches,
and perhaps a state tournament in the
spring or early fall.
In conclusion. l make the following
proposition, agreed upon at the last meet
ing:
We will shoot at Sherman on the first
day OF February, 1889. Six residents Of
Laramie against six residents of Chey-
enne, 500 a side and cost of birds. Ma
tional or Nottingham rules, except con-
corning the bore OF guns. Birds to be
thrown from three traps.
Have in my possession S25 TO show
good faith, and in case you desire to write
out articles as above we will be happy to
sign them. Respectfully,
j. P. HEUBRIcK.
The sum named in this juvenile propo-
sition would scarcely cover car fare to say
nothing of expenses, and besides there
are no accommodations for strangers at
the summit. Again shooters who aspire
to become marksmen have long since DIS
carded clay pigeons and blue rocks as
being useless for targets, and less than
five traps are seldom used in a match.
Now the Cheyenne boys would be
pleased to meet the Laramites in a friendly
contest for stakes large enough to make
the match interesting. THE LEADER is
authorized to say that they will shoot at
either Laramie or Cheyenne if a match Of
the modern sort can be arranged. The
home team is to pay expenses for the WIS.,
itors and the stakes to be not less than
$25 per man, although 500 would be
more acceptable.
IF the Laramie men mean business let
them say so.

Tint Cantankerous Ola woman

Described in the nursery ballad, who
lived upon nothing but v~ictuals and
drink" and yet would never be quiet"
was undoubtedly troubled with chronic
indigestion. Her victuals, like those of
NAM other elderly persons whose diges-
tive power have become impaired didn't
agree with her. This was before the era
of Hostetter's Stomach BItters, or some
one of her numerous friends and relatives
would undoubtedly have persuaded her to
try the great specific for dyspepsia, con-
stipation and bi~lliousness. This would
have been a measure of self protection on
their part. for she would soon have been
cured and ceased to disturb them with
her clamor. The most obstinate cases of
indigestion, with its attendant heartburn,
fiatulence. constant uneasiness of the
stomach and of the nerves. are complete
overcome by this sovereign remedy. Chills
and fever and bilious remittent, rheumat-
ism and kidney troubles are also relieved
by it.

Tho Cincinnati Enquirer answers n
correspondent by saying that the most
popular poem in the English language is
ClemeBtC. Moore's Night Before Christ
mas." We do not know that we concur
in this opinion. Is Moore's poem more
popular than MARY Had a Little Lamb?"
By most popular" we take it, The En-
quirer means the most widely known
and the most frequently repeated. The
Moore poem is popular only at a certain
short season of the year; there are other
simpler lyrics that are taught to children
every day of the year. The poem about
Mary's lamb has been parodied oftener,
perhaps, than any other English poem;
1t has come to be Unnecessary part of ones
education. Another universal poem is
Watts Let Dogs Delight" etc, and an
other, Little Drops of Water" ETC., and
q third, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
These verses are known wherever the

and attention to this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition OF human
ity Is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be

to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less n
than the surgeon or physician n by close ap-
pltcation excels IN any other b anch of hispro-
