A New Departure.

The Colorado Midland is responsible
for the most novel, and at the same time
the most practical departure of the
years railway arrangements. This new
departure comes in the form Of COM
bination ticket, which is good for pas
sage on all regular trains Of the line
between Colorado Springs and Wood
land Park, and allows the holder to stop
at any Of the hotels in the justly famous
ute Pass" The fact is that all the
hotels are in the Pass, and the visitor
can, therefore, have q fine opportunity
to see all there is to be seen In one OF
the most celebrated parts Of the pictur-
esque West.
The arrangement is so simple that
anyone can understand 1t at glance. The
tourist buys ticket at any Of the Offices
Of the Santa Fe or Midland roads, for as
many days as he expects to be out, pay
ing therefore fixed amount. This
ticket entities him to the best accom-
modations at the hotels hStween the
points mentioned, for as long Or as short

An Old Man who May iIe Anywhere from
Eighty to Ono Hundred md Twenty.

Eighty to Ono Hundred and Twenty.
There Is nm old fellow whom met in
my walks about town who has carried
to an extreme the attempt to disguise
his natural appearance. and the consc.
quencc is that it is wholly ineffective,
writes Tnvcrncr in the boston Post.
The main trouble is to tell how vcner-
able he Is; he may Ike eighty and he may
bic one hundred md twenty for all his
looks indicate. have sometimes no.
ticed that decidedly youthful appear
ancc has been given to man by his re-
linquishing his hair dye and coming out
in the white chevalurc which Is most
becoming 10 him. This was the case
with the late Lester Wallnck, who, how
ever, persisted in wearing his mustnchc
black, us II to emphasize this as the
natural color OF his beard. Since gray
hair has become the fashion, there is
less resort to dyes than formerly, but 1
suppose the witticism still holds good
for many people that they admire gray
hairs on everybody but themselves.
Tittlebat Titmouse's experience in "Ten
Thousand A Year" with the use of hnir
dye ought to be read by every person
who is ambitious of making disguise
by these means; and even more impor-
tant would be the pcrusal OF some chem
ical treatise showing the poisonous eff
feet OF minerals which enter into such
compounds. And yet, with the fullest
knowledge of its delcterious effects,
vanity makes many persons "stand tho
hazard Of u dvc.'
