OLD TIME FUNERALS.
WHEN LEADVlLLE DID THE PROPER
 THING" FOR DEAD MEN.

When Texas Jack" Was Buried the
 Whole Town Turned Out-There Was
 a Brass Band, a Chorus from an Opera
 Company and a Long Procession.
 To one who passes along the streets of Leadville now there is just one feature m particular which serves as a mark of comparison of the Leadville of today with the mining camp of thirteen years ago. Leadville now is respectable, staid and as solemn as a mining city can be, but it isn't the solemnity in the abstract which strikes one now. It is a specific solemnity which concerns itself with funerals.
 To one who has lived in the past, when every funeral was an occasion for as much celebration as circus, the quiet and sedate cortege moving along Chest nut street today is something not to be considered. 1t is too gloomy to suit the old timer; but, alas! the old timer is no more.
 In 1879 the town was wild. Every body carried a "gun"-not in his pocket, mind you, only the natural born fool did, and he rarely lived to repent of it. The weapon was stuck in his belt right handy for immediate action. As con sequence rarely a day passed without a violent death. Added to this the work of pneumonia kept the gravedigger over in the valley at work night and day. This may sound like exaSgeration, but 1t isn't. The twinkling lights in the valley presented grewsome appearance at night and more so when their purpose was known. They lit the grayediggers at work. Pneumonia was fearful enemy. Men were strong, fearless, healthy in the morning, and when eyen- ing caine with 1t was r11e phyNCim and

The Mexican People.

'The Mexicans are very peculiar
people," Mr. Richard Cupples,- On
American who has spent many years in
the Gland of God and liberty" recently
said. "While firm adherents to the
doctrine of personal vengeance they are
neither so cowardlv nor so treacherous
as they have been painted. The low.
cast Mexicans are mixture of Span
lard, Indian and negro and possess a
constitutional aversion to hard work.
Treat Mexican right and he will sac
rifice his life for you if need be. While
they often have m urderous fights among
themselves they can seldom be pre-
vailed npon to betray each other to the
police. A Mexican in my employ was
recently terribly slashed by fellow
countryman, but he protested with his
dying breath that he received his in
juries by falling off the railroad bridge.
Much has been said of the beauty of
senoritas, but very few Mexican wom-
en- are even passably good looking.
Some of those possessing much Spanish
blood have regular features and hand
some eyes. but they are old women at
thirty."-St Louis Globe Democrat.

Portraits of Columbus.

Genoa is rich in the relics of Columbus.
In the city hall of Genoa is a mosaic por-
trait of the admiral, somewhat modified
from the De Bry's Columbus. No one has
as yet decided which is the authentic
portion of Columbus, and per haps we
have created one. If the Duke of Vera

is the oldest Spanish portrait of Colum-

Columbus and Vespucci, in two medal

It didn't happen in cheap restaurant

apparently intelligent. At any rate
they were satisfied with themselves,
and willing that anyone should know
how well posted they We're on actors

They were discussing the characters
in which Booth had been most success
full, and the young man with blonde
mustache was satisfied that Hamlet
was by far his best part. He argued on
this line at some length.
''If you ever saw him in that part
when he was at his BEST" he said, you
wouldn't dispute the assertion for
| moment"
'Saw him!" exclaimed the man with
the dark beard scorn fully. I've seen
him in about ever ything he ever played.
Why, his Hamlet was poor compared
with some of his ther characters. His

he had thought himself sd safe would
be wrapped In flames.
What would he do? He tried to shift
his position, to think of some means of
escape. He felt numb and stupetied.
He could neither think nor move.
He felt as if he was floating away on
sea of flames when new sound
aroused him.
1t was several ringing reports from a
gun, which sent the wolves scampering
off in wild alarm across the prairie.
The next moment he recognized
through the smoke his fathers form
as he hurried toward him.
Catching up strong pole from the
drift, Trapper Wheeler pushed the
loose burning brush from one side of
the tree.
A moment later Ed, half unconscious
and nearly strangled with smoke, was
rescued from his perilous position.
