Flower Garden-A Game for Little Folks.
''Flower Garden is a pretty play for a
little girl to propose when she is quite
sure that she has some playmates who
have never heard of it before.
She seats them all and then she says:
''Now l will give each of you flower
name, but remember you must not speak
to one another during the play"
ssShe then goes the round, and whis-
pers to each, 81 give you a flower name.
name you Pink
1t will be seen that while each thinks
he alone has been named ssPink, - every
one has been given the same name.
Then the leader says, 'sNoW let all
stand and Join hands. While you circle
to the right, as you win do when 1 give
the word, L shall toss the handkerchief
into the center of the ring. At the same
time I shall call the flower name OF one
of you. She whose flower name is called
must catch up the handkerchief before /
count five, or else she must pay forfeit.
Now, attention. Anyone is liable to be
called at any moment and l shall count
nv five Just as fast as / can. NowI At
tentionl Nowl Circle to the rightl''
AS they circle, the leader suddenly
losses the handkerchief into the center
and calls out ''Pinkl''
OF course each OF the company rushes
for the handkerchief. All are surprised.
Then they see the joke and OF course they
mob the naughty little leader for giving
them away. >. w. &.

scented.
There was little barefooted, tow
headed, ragged trousered urchin who
lived in that town and who was very fond
OF young Mr.. Weed, and this boy Weed
employed as a secret messenger. He
would give the lad note in the morning
and the youngster, all innocence appar-
emily, would go Iplaying about Mr.
Ostrander's place until he met the fair
faced daughter. and then he would give
her the note.
The girl would retire for a while. and
by and by she would come back and pass
into the dirty fist of this little chap a
message which he BABE MIN give to no
one but the man she knew it was in
tended for. This kind Of private post
office arrangement was kept up daily for
long time, SO that while Mr.. Weed
seemed to be very polite to the other girl
he was nevertheless showing his faith
fitness to the one whom he loved.
By and by he got better place, and the
course of true love which had not run
very smooth, took him at last to happy
ending, so that he married Miss Ostrander.
He thought of that little fellow who had
been his messenger with such gratitude
that he helped him In many ways and
by and by, when the boy became a young
man, Mr.. Weed was able to give him
something of start.
Years passed, and the young fellow be-
came quite power in politics, SO that by
and by, when President Lincoln wanted
to appoint treasurer for the United
States, on the suggestion of Mr.. Weed
and some others, he named him who had
been Mr. Weeds love messenger.
And this boy became perhaps the most

ment to Il. p. Hawke who has 30 effic-
iently performed the duties OF secretary

Two thousand miners at Leadvllle

are about to spend their last dollar.
The average miner spends his money
before it is earned. He is free

nothing for emergencies and so the

pudiate its indebtedness. A few
impulsive individuals like Ed Holden
lost their balance few weeks ago
and made reckless statements to the
effect that the east had ruined the

now retaliate by refusing to pay its
eastern creditors, and these state
ments were eagerly caught up by the
enemies of silver rs representing the
sentiment of the people and a great
burrah was made to the injury of

GREAT Rock ISLAND ROUTE

BEST DlHIaG GAR SERVICE IN THE WORLD.
1902

As long tlInc as David relgned, so long
has the Chicago, Rock Island Il Pacific Rail.
way run trains westward from Chicago.
The Rock Island Is foremost in adopting
any advantage calculated TO improve speed
and give that luxury, safety and comfort
that popular patronage demands. Its equip
trains, magnificent dining cars, sleepers and
chairs coaches, all the most elegant, and OF
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management and
polite, honest service from employees are
important items. They are n double duty
to the Company and to travelers-and ii is
mcnt. Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
The Importance of this Line can be better
understood If II short lesson in geography be
now recitcd.
What is the great Eastern termini of the
Rock Island Route?-Chicago. What other
sub Eastern termni has it?-Peorin. To
what important points does il run trains to
Minnesota and watertown and Sioux Fails,
Dakota. To what important Iowa and Ne
brnslSa poiuts-Des Moines. Davenport, Iowa
touch other Missouri River points?-Ies; st.
Joseph Atchison, LcaVenworth and Kansas
City. Does il run trains toothe Foothills of
the Rocky Mountains"-Nes; to Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo. solid vestibul-
ed from Chicago. can important cities OF
Kansas be reached by the Rock Island
Routc?-Yos; its capital city, Topeka and a
full hundred Others In all directions in the
State, and it is the only road running to and
into the new lands opened for settlement in
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation.
1t Will thus qc seen that line tapping, as
the Rock Island does, such n varied territory,
has much in that regard TO commend 1t to
travellers. as all connections are sure on the
Rock Island, and passengers can rely on n
speedy journey, as over n bulk OF the system
through trains are run. and it has become,
and rightly too, the popular Line.
\ very popular train on the Chicago, Rock
Island II Pacific Railway leaves Dcnver.
Pueblo and Colorado Springs, daily. 1t is
called "The Worlds Fair Special" is one

SUCH hot headed men rs Governor
Waite, Ed Holden and Rev. Myron
Reed are soundly condemned by the
press of the state at large for their
ill advised harangues. Their ut
terances have been widely quoted by
the newspapers of the country but
fortunately the average editor does
not pretend to acespt their wild re-
marks as expressing the views of the
people of Colorado. Governor Waite
may ride IN "blood brdle deep" Ed
Holden may repudlate his eastern
Indebtedness, and Mr.. Reed can soak
his victim in Standard oil and burn
him, but they will each have but a
small following These extremists
are catching it all over the state and
they deserve it.

such time as the mines will reopen,

More Money Needed,

1t is nonsense to ascribe the pres
ent crisis entirely to Il lack Of public
confidence. Primarily it is caused by a
woful lack of money, necessitating the
transaction OF business on credit
paper basis. When demand is made
for cash on these credits, in many cases
it cannot be procured, and business
failure is announced that often carries
other business ventures down with it.
But scarcity of money causes the lack
of confidence, and anyone capable of
reasoning from cause to effect can see
this.-Villa Grove Record.
