The Way Real Estate Goes Up in Creede.
The other day Denver man stepped
from the train, saw lot he thought he
would like, and asked the owner, who
of course just happened" to be stand
ing near, what he would take for it.
"One thousand dollars" was the re-
ply.
"Well, I'll see you again shortly. I
want to look about and get my bear
ings."
After inquiring the prices of various
other lots he concluded to take the first
one. He had been gone but an hour,
and felt satisfaction at being able to
do little business so soon after his ar
rival, and remarked to a companion:
"This is hummer and no mistake. :"
TO the owner he said: "Tve concluded
to take your lot. Have the papers made
out and we'll go up to the bank and get
the money"
"The price has gone up since you were
here. 1t is now $780," quietly re-
marked the owner.
"Three hundred dollars an hour" he
gasped, and was carried to the train.
The pace was too killing. Such activity
in realty and building has rarely been
seen, even in Colorado. The buildings
in Jimtown have arisen like mushrooms
over night. An absence of couple Of
days, and one would rub his eyes to be
sure he was awake, SO great is the
change.-Cor. Denver Sun.

THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE.

county, twelve miles from Lexington,
and expended nearly as much more for
repair and erection of buildings. The
cottage system was adopted, and in a
very short time the capacity of the place
was exhausted.
Mrs. A. G. Cassidy, a prominent men,
per of the Daughters of the Confederacy,
then started movement to raise fund
for a main building, and large amount
is already collected. The ladies now
propose to get 800 in each school dis
trict, which, with the amount already
collected, will enable them to carry out
pthe plans. Mr.. J. B. Legg, whose wife is
active among the Daughters aforesaid,
has furnished the plan.
The building is to be in the Colonial
style of architecture, so common in the
older parts Of Virginia, with broad
porches and verandas; the cost is to
be 100000. 1t is SO by 115 feet, two
stories high and in double L, the
wings opening upon an interior court in
the rear. There will be general apart
ments for 100 inmates and separate
rooms for forty others. 1t will be Of
brick, with stone trimmings and slate
roof, the interior furnished throughout
with wood. Kitchen, laundry room,
etc., will be in the basement. And f.
nally it is to be opened to all who served
in the Confederate army or navy and
were residents of Missouri during the
year 1890. Missourians of all parties
have contributed literally to the fund
for endowing the institution, and it is
declared to be an assured success.

why Some Babies Cry,

A great many babies cry out of pure
cussedness. They have no reason what
ever. I have seen them stop playing to
begin to howl, refusing both food and
drink. Often child will wake up, be-
gin crying, and fall off to sleep again.
Babies show individuality, and cry just
as adults grumble, scold, lecture, bang
things about and swear. There may or
may not be cause for the outburst, but
there is certain amount of relief which
has a physiological if not moral value.

Something.

A something hovers in the air.
And poises DER the naked tree,
And rides upon the winged clouds,
Yet hath no form the eye can see;
But to the deeper, inward sight,
1t is n presence sweet and true,
That fills the universe with joy
And wakes the earth with impulse new!
A something in the forest word,
1t scarcely may be named O voice,
Yet fettered captives hear its call,
And in their longing heart rejoice
A subtitle whisper in the breeze,
So soft, it seems spirits breath,
Yet leafess boughs grow tremulous
With ecstasy at what it saithl
something rises with the morn,
And fingers with the suns last ray,
Brings rapture to the silent night,
And luster to the shining day;
With yearning, half of bliss and pain,
1t swells my heart, and, wondering,
ask, What can it be? A bird
Sings at my window, 1T is springT

Ono for the Minister.

An old minister in the south side of Glas-
gov, who was noted for his habit of dishing
up old sermons again and again, was one
day advertised to preach in a suburban
church at the anniversary service there.
An old woman, who in days gone by had
sat under his ministry, but who had now
removed from his neighborhood, deter
mined to go in and hear him preach on this
particular occasion. After the close of the
service she waited on the clergyman, who
greeted her cordially and asked what she
thought of his discourse. Eth, man." she
replied candidly, Its a lang time sim l
first heard We preach that yin, sir, and I've
heard ye at it guild wheen O times sim
syne."
"Ay, Janet" said the minister; chow of
ten do ye think we've heard it, na;' ''Oh,
ABBOTT diZzen o times, sir" she re .olied.
AN div We mind it a','' said the minister.
"Aweel, aybe no it a, sir" ''Weel, / see
I'll need to preach it to We again. Janet ~
said the minister, and Janet felt that she
had been sold for once. The minister GER

Silkworrns That Die.

The silkworm story is twice told tale.
Everybody knows how the green, wriggling

at all. For the most part he does not.
The cocoons meant for reeling are kiln
dried until the dormant life goes out en-
tirely. The largest and fairest are saved
for seed. Out of them come the moths
that lay eggs for Il new generation. Three
to six hundred is the usual number.
The eggs, called grain, are subject to a
fungus that does not destroy their vitality.

The Galapagos Tortoises.

The Galapagos tortoises are the only sur
vivors of AN ancient race of huge turtles
which lived long ago as the early part
of the tertiary epoch. Specimens weigh
ing from 600 to 700 pounds have been cap
tured, and there is authentic record of one
individual taken which tipped the beam at
SO pounds. However, nearly all of the
very big ones have been caught and de-
voured, and it will not be long before the
race is eXterminated-literally eaten off
the face of the earth by gluttonous man"
1t is reckoned that 100000 of these
turtles have been taken from the islands
since their discoyery.-Boston Transcript
