From the car windows of the trains of the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad can be seen
the grandest spectacles of Natures wonders
presented by any railroad on the Globe, on
account of which this road has gained the
much merted title of the "Scenic Line Of
the World"
The Rio Grande is essentially the tourists
line, and over it the traveller secures equal
comfort and speed, with the added pleasure
of beholding sights and scenes unequalled
for grandeur, beauty and sublimity any
where in this country or Europe. No Amer
lean should miss the opportunity to see the
grandeur of his own country as seen only by
a journey over this line, and by so doing
hang such pictures on the walls of his men,
DRY that all the attempts of the most cele-
brated ARTISTS will seem weak aud trivial in
the presence of Natures majestic works
among the snOw-crowned peaks of the
Rocky Mountains. If any of our readers de-
sire to know more about these stupendous
works of Nature, write to s. K. Hooper, Gen
eral Passenger Agent, Denver, Colorado, and
he will send you, free of cost, elegantly illus
trated books, giving full description of the
marvels of "Scenic Line"

year-old New York ~kid." Patsy Con-
nelly was his name. He played hockey
from school, took his soul-stirring har-
monica, went to the dock and made the
other kids" dance. But Patsy's tune
maker got flirted into the river, and
promptly Patsy jumped in after it.
But there was mud there, and then the
swell of q passing boat banged him
against another boat. Then Patsy,
coming up the last time, shouted to the
kids" on the dock: "Don't let 'em take
me body home if I drown. It'll make
mudder feel bad. Take me to de under
takers shop" Then Patsy went down,
and that was all.

A SAD story with a moral comes from
Aurora, Ill, Forty years ago young
lady, now Mrs. King-Hammond, and a
young man named Welch were engaged
to be married. Opposition of parents
prevented the match, and Welch went
away to Texas, where he has since re-
sided. But a continuous correspond
ence has been kept up. and recently
the couple decided to pass their declin-
ing days together. Mr.. WEIGH came
on to Aurora, accordingly. but when
his intended saw him she tainted away
and refused to have anything to do
with him. Instead of the rosy, ath-
letic youth from whom she had parted
q lifetime before, and of whom she had
been dreaming all these years, there
stood before her q bald, wrinkled.
toothless old man. Perhaps, as Mr..
WEIGH has found it impossible to re-
main always a young man, it is just as
well that he never married his first
love.
