RULE OF THE POPULlSTS.

and partly recent Populis's:
"Populist rule in Colorado has been like

accidental asccnddncy Of a party which
stands for reputation and hatiSm, and is
not a true friend To hard silver money.
The property of Denver was assessed
for $lloUu0.ro and was worth three times
That sum whom the Populists came into
power. notwithstanding the city's incvi-
tohly brilliant future the average selling

LITTLE THINGS TO REMEMBER.
In case of being caught by the fire,

is not a bath-tub near 10 accomplish this.
no few pitchers are adequate. So next
best Is 10 wrap the head mp in coat
or anything woollen. This keeps out
the fire and not the air from the lungs.
and the greater danger comes from the
former being inhaled"
should the smoke commence to I'll the
room and you want 70 crawl 10 another
part Of the building, drop on hands and
knees and crawl as close 10 the floor az
possible. for the smoke goes first 10 the
top and to the floor last. so that much
time Is secured. If all escape seems cut

the legs. The forcarns should rest two

keeps all muscles and bones In the proper
place. AZ ;his Is the correct way TO sit
when older. It Is well 10 train every child
after this manner from a common-sense
standpoint. "a all laws. Of physical cul-
ture are founded on practical reasons.
