One of these deft blackamoors is max
ing berth for a single lady whose face
reminds me of a dream had when child
and had washed down quart of green
gooseberries with pint of warm milk.
She has two cords at the back of her
neck which run up into her raven black
hair as far as the eye can reach. Some
of her hair will not remain up, but
comes out in a shy way about her ears,
like bunch of timothy on a vacant lot
The porter is perfect Hebe in figure,
and as he gets warmed up to his work
you can tell where he is. Yet he is
graceful in his work, and when he is
done the berth into which go looks al
most like Gala lily with u humming
bird in it.

When Mr.. Pullman put forth his great
success in travelling and sleeping. he pro-
vided place for a humble. simple race of
people who are fitted exactly TO this
work. The new feature he introduced
has become familiar uow-viz., the Afri-
can by descent and the porter by berth
Oh, what a great. CHASTITY. white, still
and solemn spinal column the earth lays
bare mp at Leadville. Colo. Over 10000
feet, two miles and quarter, above the
sea level lie the mighty vertebr;e of a
continent Here dwell the avalanche
and the man who refuses all money but
silver. Even the conductors on the rail
road hesitate about taking anything but
silver here.
had NO idea that the silver question
had aroused such Il feeling In the west
ern states. A mine owner told me yes
terday that n very little spark would let
off an explosion in Colorado and the min
ing states that would echo around thu
world He could command %. 900 troops
in few hours. he said. The present
price of silver meant loss of dollar a
day to the miner and closed many good
zines.
Wall street is blamed for all this, and
great capitalists are looked at askance.
Twice this happened to me in Denver.
1t is a great problem for the new and
victorious administration to solve.
have often laid awake at night think
ing of Mr.. Cleveland up at Lakewood in
his room trying to write his inaugural
address and some one tapping at the
door TO ask for an Office just as he has
almost invented new phrase like innocu-
GUS desuetude for the new era, and then
SO many other things, like the sugar teat
islands and the silver question, and ]
start up wildly and say to myself: who
would envy him? Who would make the
long fight in November to take up iii
March such an unwelcome job?'
Therefore we must SIMULATE our sons
to industry by some other means than
the hope of being president. would
honestly rather speak in public on the
stage at mere pittance, yet knowing
that | was doing good and earning $3.50 !
per week for it, than TO be president of
the United States with cockroaches in !
the east room and red ants in the cabinet. |
Speaking Of these household pets, let |
me say that | never heard of a better |
illustration Of feminine character than
the other day up at Laramie.
A young man whose sister is visiting
him came home the other night and was
scared out of his wits by finding her at
midnight in her nightrobe prowling |
around tine outside Of the kitchen with
cooked revolver waiting for a burglar TO
come out at the bacl; door. Sure enough, |
he soon came out and was captured by !
the two and the revolver. He was sent
over to the Jail. and then the brother
asked why this slender Young lady in her
nightclothes had gone around outside
the kitchen. Why didn't you go in by |
the inside door," her brother asked her.
Why" she said. you don't know so
much as thought you did. There are
mice in the kitchen"
Speaking of the rat. the mouse and the
cat, we have been told for 10 years that
cats cannot live at Leadville owing to
the rareted air which increases the heart ;
action and finally affects the brain, re
sulting in one of the most horrible of
deaths. The death of cat brought to
Lesdville has always been regarded by
eastern people AS one of the saddest sights
to be seen.
inquired good deal while there re-
gsrding this matter and found that the
cat does live at Leadville, and in private
houses many of them are as happy and
well as elsewhere. "But there are no
rats" said my informant. We have
mice. but no rats"
