The Minstrels OF the Marshes.
They're serenading me tonight. Their voices
clear and strong
Rise through the summer atmosphere In Joy
Gus bursts OF song.
Tho sun has set an hour or more, but bright
against the sky
Flash meteofs of yellow light as Giowworms
wander by.
And through. the reeds down by the marsh
they flicker TO and fro
And light my merry minstrels with their magic
lamps aglow.
This evening when the sun went down / saw
meadow lark
Creep down into her grassy nest before the
coming dark.
The long, gaunt shadows of the trees stretched
far beyond my sight
And found one last belated quail who whistled
for bobwhite.
The shadows grew and broadened and spread
out on every hand
Until all were united and the night had reach
ed the land
And then they tuned their fiddles, and they
gathered their trombones
And took once more their cornets, with their
shrill and searching tones.
And a hoarse and foggy basso. which first SEEM

Most faces that are thin are apt to
be hollow between the upper and
lower jaws, and two exercises are
recommended for filing out the
cheeks. Take two small pieces of
rubber, such as come at the ends of
lead pencils, and insert on each side
of the mouth between thS back
teeth. Close the teeth on them and
chew, spreading the teeth only just
far enough to keep the rubbers in
their places and shutting them with
all the force possible. After this put
the forefnger in the mouth and rub
it against the cheek, pressing it cut
ward in every way, reaching as far
back as possible 1t is said that by
regularly following facial exercises
daily the face may be kept rounded
and firm in its outlines, and that even
old and relaxed muscles may be
greatly strengthened and improved.

A supken Garden.

One of the most beautiful features
in Fairmount park during the sum-
mer time is the Sunken garden. The
famous Horticultural hall, which was
left over since the Centennial expo
sition, is regarded as one of the finest
structures in the United States. The
ground, however, on which it was
erected, being somewhat level, did
not show of the building to its best
advantage The designer therefore
lighted on the happy idea of making
the Sunken garden, extending it for
a long distance, which thus afforded
the opportunity of adding to the ap-
parent elevation of the building and
at the same time furnishing tract
for flower gardening under the mass
ing system known as carpet bedding,
which was at that time so popular.
One of the weaknesses of this car
pet bedding system was that from the
point of view of the observer looking
at an angle the best effects could not
be obtained as when looked down on.
This system of bedding has in a
measure given way to the continual
desire for change which permeates
humanity. 1t is still a great fayorite
here and IN this case, simply because
-of the opportunity for looking down
upon it, referred to. The avenues
on either side are lined with European
planes Meehan's Monthly.

Hard is his lot, indeed. and sad his life,
Who needs must leave his happy home, his wife,
His babes, his friends-all that the heart In
thralls-
And go to banishment in foreign lands,
Or go to war and stain with blood his hands.
When duty calls.
And he of different mold is wretched, too,
Who has ambitions, longs for something new.
Who Graves adventures, whom no hap cp-
pals,
Yet whom each day brings but the wonted
The weary task at office, bank or store,
Where duty calls.
Unhappy both. But wretched more-poOr
wight
Is he whom fashion and the world polite
Drag out TO nightly dinners, routs and balls
There, be his moods and lenses what they may.
There he must smirk and smile. be perk and
Tattle and talk, and dance the night away.

Lines to MY Cat.

Upon my desk my cat reclines
In customary grace.
The mellow yellow lamplights fan
Upon her happy face
And throw in silhouette her lines
Upon the wall.
Her back is arched. but not from fright
No cruel dog is nigh,
Nor is it that my birds tonight
About the chamber hy.
Her face is fixed on mine. but yet
She does not pur nor NEW.

Like me and others too2

She's never blue nor ruffed-
Because she died five years ago
And then was neatly stuffed.

oh, white is the sail in the faraway,
And dirty the sail at the dock,
And fair are the cliffs across the bay,
And black is the nearby rockI
Though glitters the snow on the peaks afar,
At our feet 1t is only white,
And bright is the gleam of the distant star,
Though lamp were twice as bright
The rose that mods beyond our reach
Is redder than rose Of ours.
OF thought that turns our tongue to speech
Our fellows leave greater dowers.
The waters that flow from the hidden springs
Are sweeter than those by our side,
So we strive through life for the distant things
And never are satisfied

Sing me q song of the dead world,
or the great frost deep and still.
or the sword Of fire the wind hurled
On the iron hill.
Sing me song Of the driving snow.
OF the reeling cloud and the smoky drift,
Where the sheeted wraiths, like ghosts. 90
Through the gloomy rift
Sing me song of the ringing blade.
or the snarI and shatter the light ice
OF the 1rhoop and the swing of the snov-
Through the cedar brakes
Sing me a song Of tho apple loft,
ofthe corn, and the nuts, and the mounds
OF meal,
OF the sweeping whir of the spindle soft
And the spinning wheel
Sing me song of the open page.
Where the ruddy CLEANS of the freiight
Where bends my love Armiusze
Reading an old romance
Sing me song of the still nights,
OF the large stars steady and high.
The aurora darting its phoSphor lights
In the purple sky.

Hurriedly our friends mounted,

quite comfortable after an unusually
good repast, showed great confidence.
Every few minutes he would stretch
out his hands like signboard, cry
ing, "Girgenti." The two travellers
had lost all faith in him. They only
trusted their eyes, which could dis

ness In an unknown place, far from
any human habitation. Yet she did
not lose her presence of mind. She
dismounted, left her horse to his fate

CHANGE THE BALLOT.

The ballot as revised by the last
legislature has proven to be stumbling
block in the way of thinking, indie
pendent voters, its complexity making
it difficult thing to vote where it is
the intention to vote scratched ticket.
and hence the strong tendency to vote
straight ticket.
The ballot is a capital one for the
politician but a very poor one for the
voter. In fact it is the politicians ballot
and serves his purpose well.
In the first place the devices or EN-
blems should be dispensed with alto
gether as they are too mechanical and
destroy in large degree the scope Of
independence Of thought which tie
Australian system Of voting is supposed
to give. By removing the devices and
compelling the person voting to mark
each individual candidate voted for
more thinking would be required, and
having to mark each separate candidate
It would be as easy to mark one as
another. It is the thinking, in
dspsndent element in politics that holds

ABOUT THE JUDICIARY.

The INDICATOR is proud of the part it
took in the defeat of the straight re-
publican judicial ticket and it wants the
gang to know it. That ticket was not
the choice OF the republican party but
chicanery, and besides it was in a great
measure incompetent and manifestly
corrupt. The lHnIcAToR would not be
true to itself nor true to its readers were
it to remain silent while the contest
went on SO it went into the fight along
with those republicans who. knowing
the wretched ticket dared oppose it, and
is glad OF it.
In the defeat of j. C. Elwell for dis
trict judge and the consequent purging
of the court house of District Clerk
Geo. Seaver, the people of this, the
Tenth judicial district have recorded IA
victory OF which they may well be proud.
for it means victory for more honor
able and honest judiciary besides being
great stroke for economy, anda con
sequent reduction of taxes.
Judge Voorhees,, who was reelected
is an honest and capable official and
owes his election to large class OF in
dependent, thinking republicans who
voted for him with the populists.
1t is unfortunate that L. II. Devine
was not elected instead of N. Walter
Dixon as he would have made capital
judge in every respect. He made Il
gallant fight but his party (democrat)
was not strong enough, and while the
majority of Dixon was badly shattered,
the combined efforts of the democrats
and independent republicans could not
reach him.
But the cleaning out of Elwell, Sesver
and Mccoy means that court house gang
rule is at an end, and the independent
Club has won great victory in this, the
first organized fight ever made in Pueblo
against political corruption.

AFTER THOUGHTS.

The republicans throughout the state
have been asserting most emphatically
for the last year and half that if Colo
RADIO were again placed in the hands of
the republican administration prosperity
would surely return, for then capital
the state would be developed, and no
matter what other states did, Colorado
would advance and good times would
come to stay. The INDICATOR preached
that it was necessary to have a repub
lican administration, for it believed Il
democrat or even a conservative populist
government would bring about the same
result, but it was patent that Governor
Waite was the great obstacle in the way
OF the march of progress and he would
have to be put out of the way of doing
evil before copital that is always timid,
borders.
The INDICATOR arrived at this con
cluson after close observation of com
mercial affairs as they affect Colorado.
and now it firmly believes that better
times will come in the near future.
Those who expect real prosperous, rush
ing times will be disappointed until such
time az the national government gives
us proper legislation on the great
financial question. for that is the great
problem, but it may be confidently ex
pected that an era of greater prosperity
will set in shortly and that the people of
Colorado will be glad of the political
change

For some unexplained reason the
iron and steel works of the country are
not falling into line with the prediction
of many statesmen who. short time
ago were predicting that these works
must necessarily shut down if iron ore
were placed on the free list. The fact
that the iron mills of the east are
fiourishing, and that works that have
been shut down for long periods are
opening up is an outgrowth OF tariff
legislation that has set these statesmen
to guessing.

distrustful OF the Chieftain
that the support OF that organ is al
most certain defeat to a candidate.
