A Bachelor Maid.
Once there lived bachelor maiden,
Years and years ago O.
And her mind with truth was laden
But her heart was cold as snow.
For she thought with good old Plato,
She could live alone,
So she smiled on many a sutton,
But her heart was hard as stone.
Came a bachelor man a-suing
For her friendship true.
This, alas! was her undoing.
As it might have been with you!
For her friendship still he sued her,
(Such simple thingD
Till before she knew. he wooed her
Wooed her with friendship ring!
Now, although she's fond of Plato,
Her cold hearts grown warm,
And her theories of living
Have imbibed wondrous charm.
For she says: "'I'is human nature,
Spite of Plato's pen:
Men were made for loving women,
Women made for loving men,"

Trip Over Sorrow Lightly.
Trip over sorrow lightly.
1t cannot be for long;
The cloud will soon be lifted,
And earth break forth in song.
Trip over sorrow lightly,
Let not it, presence cast
A shadow on che hearthstone.
Forget the gloomy past.
Trip over sorrow lightly,
For JOY is lowering nigh:
And blessings wait to rccompense
Your heart for every sigh.
Trip over sorrow lightly,
Ye weary hearts oppressed:
Tomorrow brings the sunlight,
Tomorrow tranquil rest.
Emma Hodges, in Kansas City Star.
In Spring.
Dear heart, I waited many weary years
In distant doubt, afar off lingering;
And once was there dream of faller
tears,
And once a strife. and once a song t.

But now, with glad gray eyes, again yoy

When nights are long and the dim su,
grown old,
Scarce with one smile may peer through
winter cold

The Best Of Life.

Our noiser years. at last
Spurs US In vain, and, weary of the race,
We care no more who loses or whe

But the world widens when
Such hope Of trivial gain that ruled 10

You Can Never Tell.
You can never tell when you send .
word
Like an arrow shot from bow
BY an archer blind-be it cruel or kind,
Just where it will chance to 60.
It may pierce the breast of your dearest
friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm:
To a strangers heart in life's great mart
1t may carry it's pain or its calm.
You can never tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing q
seed.
Though its harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Though you may not know, yet the tree
shall grow
And shelter the brows that toll.
You can never tell what your thoughts
will do
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their airy
wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create its kind:
And they speed Ger the track to bring
you back
Whatever went out from your mind.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox. in Munsey's.

say that Denver will get the same rate
that Pueblo will receive. The market OF
the Pacific coast will be opened and a
great stimulus will be given to manu-
featuring in this city. 1t never rains
but it pours is an adage which finds ap-
plication here. Denver is rejoicing in
the near approach Of great prosperity
arising out of the discoveries Of gold.
Now it finds additional reasons to re-
joice in a decision which will make it
practicable to reap the advantages
which its geographical position entities
it to as a manufacturing center. The
outlook is surely very bright and every
one interested in Denver's future should
rcioice.-Denver Republican.

The president has sent another mess
age to congress requesting them not to
adjourn until some financial legislation
is enacted which will relieve the strain.
He has all the legislation necessary now,
II he will only direct the Secretary Of
the Treasury to pay out silver instead Of
gold for greenbacks he can at once stop
the drain Of gold from the treasury. II
he.really means by his other message that
he would fight England il necessary the
merest prudence would seem to require
that he should keep all the gold at home.
He has made it impossible to sell bonds
to any advantage and if he continues to
advocate their issue it can only mean
that he is willing in his stupidity to
utterly ruin the country. Let the
foreigners sell their American securities
at loss if they want to; they will only
injurs themselves; and in the place Of
their money give US good American silver
and plenty Of it.

Delta Opera House.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" never grows old
There runs through it vein OF psthos
peculiarly touching and sweet. Like
the kiss OF child, it conquers by the
innocence OF its breath. In the charac-
ter OF Eva it is unique. Who does not
cherish in memory some sweet angelic
child, who seemed to touch this earth
only as transient visitor, who passed
away with the dew OF childhood's morn
ing, too good, too pure for us. Was there
ever a child like Eva? Yes, but her
name is written upon gravestones. This
good old play is unique, because it is the
only one that portrays that character.
The scenery is excellent. In the river
scene one secs the floating cakes Of ice
slowly moving down stream. The plan
tation scene depicts typical southern
home with it's cotton fields, its mansion
and it's log cabins. 1t is a warm, mellow.
beautiful scene. The last ecene in this
beautiful drama has perhaps taxed the
skilled painter and mechanic more than
any other. spectacle that the stage can
boast. 1t is not Hattery to say that "Thc
Beautiful Gates Ajar.' as now depicted
by the Cook Sisters company, is one Of
the most enhancing spectacles ever wit
messed in this city.

Cabin company will open the new opera

Iha California Rate.

One Of the most important decisions
ever rendered in relation to a Colorado
matter is that of tho interstate COM
merce commission in the Fuel and Iron
company case. By this decision the
commission declares that rate must be
made which would give Colorado com
mon points advantage OF their proximity
to California in comparison with Chica-
go and other places to the eastward.
In the case Of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company's products the rate shall
never be more than rs per cent of the
rate from Chicago. II the railroads sub
init to this decision the change in ratos
will be made in a short time, but it is
possible that they will still further re-
sist. In the latter event the matter will
have to be taken into the courts, but it
probable that the principle declared
the commission would be recognized
I'D followed.
This means it will be practicable for
be Colorado Fuel and Iron company to
bmpete in the California market with
picago concerns engaged in the same
lsiness. What is true Of the Fuel and
N company is true Of other manufac-
les in Colorado, for though only that
mpany's case was passed upon, the
pciple is 30 clearly applicable to all
prs that no railroad company would
il other concerns were to ask for
ame rates.

this will be to manufactures in

The Bachelor Mine,

The Ouray Plaindealer says of this
mine, in which Frank Sanders is an
owner: This is one of the very few
silver mines in the world which is so
rich and bountiful that it has been able
to operate at great profit even in the
face of ruinously low prices Of the white
metal. During 1895 its output has net
ted 900 per month to its owners, and
there is thought to be nearly million OF
dollars blocked out and practically in
sight now. 1t is one silver mine out OF
ten thousand, and although new pro-
ducer, is already at the head among the
very valuable producers OF the state. 1t
employs fifty miners and its ore bodies
are almost beyond the limit of compre-
hension. Several other mines in the
immediate vicinity are known to be on
the same veins, and all old timers and
expert mining men Of this section pre-
dict at least three more Bachelors dur
ing the season Of &c."
The Herald also says: 1.-THE famous
Bachelor mine never was looking better
han at present and has increased its
force until 4S men are now employed.
For the first Is days Of this month, the
Bachelor shipped 40 cars OF ore, which
was hauled by Charlie Swaim's three
4s and 6. Tho Bachelors regular out
put averages three to four cars per day.
There are few mines in the San Juan
