SOMETHING TO READ.
BY o. Il BUNCE

Presses teeming, counters crowded, books
like mullins every hour,
Yet midst these volumes many, this copiOuS,
never ending shower,
Look in vain, in vain, for Just a simple
little dover.
OF something pleasant to read,
Here are books historical-t weary of the
ponderous theme
Here are books pOetical--hOw similar they
all seem
Here are books polemical-worst of all are
these | deem.
All ME for something to read
Here are tales romantic-wild adventure
and dark intrigue
Here are stories phySical-sOul with soul
in mystic league
Here are books ;esthetic-artiSticsrap
but fatigue.
In these is nothing to read,
Here are stories realistic-with nothing to
ruffle the soul
Here are novels domestic-as fiat as a very
fiat roll
Here are books salacious-oh, for the
power to purge them whole.
Still look fOr'SOmething to read.
am tired of passions overdone rapturous
phrases
Tired of labOred plots that are forced
through strained and pulling mazes
Tired of old school thunder and the new
school very thin hazes.
What is there, masters to read?
I'm tired of heroes doughty, dangers thrill
ling, reScues knightly,
Tired of Murders CHASTITY face and of peo-
pie that ne'er do rightly;
Tired of gilded vice in salons and rags in
slums unsightly--
All weary pages to read
What would have? Something fresh. de-
lieOius and human
For hero, nothing more than noble, good
hearted, true man;
For heroine, a creature bleSt because she
Is a woman
A touch of nature to read.
What would / have? The sweetness and
beauty of life
The sun that shines on the blossom, the
loneliness everywhere rife.
The voice that Is sweet, the heart that is
empty of strife,
Something uplifting to read
Give us the splendor of youth upon life as
The conduct that never with just probabili-
Btty clashes,
art that brightens. enchants, and with
can intellect flashes.
A.. Here would be something to read
coz! let the bitter, the false, the dark, and
the morbid depart
DSaken in all the skill that sweetens the
mind and the heart
Fl. breath of the blossoms, breath of the
Heavens, live in our art

TO the Molandine Company:
Permit me to add my testimony to the
curative properties of N olandine.
For many years have suffered from
varicose veins. Twelve months ago
struck my leg against chair, breaking
one of the veins. The wound thus
made could not be healed except for a
short time; then break out afresh. At
times suffered untold misery from To-
cal fever and most insuferable burning
sensation. After using two (a) bottles
of your vegetable Nolandine" the
liberated places healed, the swelling
disappeared, natural sleep was restored,
and my nervous system composed.
Asa vermifuge, Nolandine acted spe
officially on one of my children. As d
blood purifier and general tonic, your
Nolandine has no equal. Gratefully

Dear Sir,-As recipient of its hea.-

afflicted with painful ulcers, following
the slightest abrasion of the skin, dis
ab1ing me from all labor and exercise.

not only healed the ulcers, but removed
all predisposition to them, and I have
no longer any fear of their return. Very

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 13.-Justice

day rendered decision on the applica-
ton for an injunction on the part of the
Rock Island railroad to prevent the

The decision is in favor of the Rock

The case will now 60 to regular trial
1t grew out of a disagreement over the
provisions of the contract between the
two roads for the use by the Rock Island

city and Denver. The Rock Island for.
merly sent all their traffic to Denver by
way of this city over the D. & r. G. line

this traffic the same as that shipped on

An Old Soldiers widow,

the great pathfinder of the .r west, Gen.
E. L. B. Bonneville; DR.. Bailey, late of
the U. S. army, son of the famous sur

Hon. John Vaile and family, all of Fort
Smith, Ark, arrived in Denver yesterday
afternoon and are stopping at the Windsor.
Mrs. Bonneville was seen by reporter
for the Times in the hotel parlors at noe n
to-day. The man of news met queenly
looking woman. Exactly how old the
LADY, might be the reporter had no idea,
but queens are always young and Mrs.
Bonneville can never be old. Of course
the lady spoke of her husband. She was
married to the general in 1871 and seven
years later he died at the ripe age of 70.
"He was as good and tender as he was
brave and peerless" said the widow,
"and in that way which only those who
have lost such treasure knows mourn
the loss of my companion as much now as
| did the day he was taken from me-"

MINING NOTES.

What will the Lincoln-Lucky people
do? Too much good ore in sight down
there to longer withhold the pick and
shovel. The bad air, however, must be
got out OF the way.
The Cash Entry Central company is
going to have railroad of its own. A
tram railroad from the mines to the big
concentrator. BY the way, three car loads
of machinery for this plant are now being
hauled up from Cerrillos.
Says the Boston correspondent of the
New York Mining and Engineering Jour
nal: "Santa Fe declined from 1882
cents. The reports regarding the proper
ty can not be said to warrant an advance
in its 500, 900 shares over present price,"
1t appears as if somebody was hammer
ing the life out of the San Pedro stock.
1t will probably cease after the stockhold-
ers' meeting September 4.

WATER AND NATURAL GAS.

Great interest is taken in the dscov-
cry of artesian water at Springer. The
depth at which the flow is reached is but
250 feet. While artesian water might not
be obtained at less than four times this
distance at Cerrillos, there is every indica-
ton that such flow could be obtained
here, and probably at no greater depth
in the proper localities than 800 to 700
feet. In what is acceeded to to be the
gas belt bordering the town on the south
west, water and gas were struck at a
depth of 800 feet by ptospectors, and
thrown up thirty feet from the mouth OF
the drill hole. The gas was lighted and
burned nicely. So it can be seen that
there is more than one incentiv to in
duce experimental work of this ch aractel
at Cerrllos R ustler.
