some such way a. does a beautiful, teu-
derly-nurtured woman thus overtaken
or menaced. Indeed we feel the same
tender pride in the bud ling loveliness
OF the one as of the other; the same
sacred JOY in the embodiment of new and
finer charms; the same anxious solicit
tude lest some secret foe, or overt enemy,
or dire calamity mar, sap, despoil, lay
low our beloved. Cities so regarded
might he termed our feminine cities in
standardization to our masculine CEN

GUS OF our great, masculine thorough
fares, but not 80 tenderly solictous OF
their welfares To illustrate, we will but
call to mind two dearly-loved feminine
cities OF past civilizations, or semi
civilizations, Athens and Jerusalem; OF
the masculine type, Babylon and Romc.
To call attention for o moment to Jeru-
salem. the feeling OF the Jews for their
beautiful city, was that of intense adora-
ton, love, solicitude. And when calam-
ity after calamity overlook her and the
prophetic eyes OF Christ saw her COM
plete overthrow, he could not forbear
weeping at the thought that the days

mics shall cast trench about thee and
compass thee round, and keep thee in
on every eide, and shall lay thee even
with the ground"
In these days, as in times past, we
have our beautiful, beloved cities, at the
very mention of whose names the eyes
brighten or fill, the lips relax and the
heart beats more thrilling measure.

body loves these two budding cities OF
the west, and watches with keen inter-

are never tired of esriAg Of the fabu-
lous number of sunny DAYS each has
during the year, of the wonderful cures

greatest goldbug state OF the union;
while her sister shines as the goddess OF
silver. Possibly we of Los Angeles and
Of goldbug ancestry have felt just little
Jealous as we watched Denver spring
into being almost full-fedged on her

read OF Denver's distress; how an enemy
had, not as OF old, entrenched her round

people overw h lined with debt. Denver
contains about 1875 900 inhabitants; its
mortgage Indebtedness is $107 .U00, 900
which is more than the whole assessed

YOU are told that almost every house is

trust deed, by which the title Is in the
hand OF the money lender, and likely to
be foreclosed on few days notice, with
only ID days redemption! A cruel and
most Ubiquitous system. :. | was
