Well, never mind, there !. good time

ci.lly need I. that all men should be-
Thoughtful merciful and just and there
ar. more men ani women leading on
with that idea than ever before, and
NOR, men and women following Ia that
direction than ever before. The heart.

Denver has become mighty city,
with over 100, 900 inhabitants. Pew men
can tell lust why II thriyes so much
som. s,y the money from the mine. !.
.,ent there Ia houses and other Improve
ments. Thousands live In Denver be.
cause they have di.ease--asthma aud

There are hundred. of real estate agents
In Denver buying and selling property
until the city 1. staked out on all sides,
for mile. aud miles from the post ofiice,

men there are out of work. please d,
not mention II or the.e things might aci

lob was bogus one, made np so a. t'
get the poor fellows -. When he hat
worked a short time, hi. employer says
~ don't want you--dont Ike you
work. The man saw the point, ant
going TO the city Office, demanded hl'
money, aud at last drew hls revolver
saving he must have that .? OF blood
and he got his money. This IL one o
the many ways that are rcsorted to u
oht n I'm money.
