New Unused Railway Tickets May 30 Re
desmsd ~ Slight Cost.
Some men with valuable unused rail
way tickets on their hands sell them tc
sCalpers, while others go to the railway
company that issued them and obtain
their value In money. Most men, how
ever, do neither, and accept the loss
when the ticket is worth less than u dol
lar. Indeed, many men do not realize
that railway companies stand ready to
redeem unused tickets sven Of small
value, 80 that the companies must be
richer by many thousands OF dollars
per year by reason OF this neglect or ig-
norance.
Every railway ticket bears the name
Of the general passenger agent Of the
road issuing the same. Il is a simple
matter TO inclose the ticket with a let
ter directed TO the general passenger
agent asking him 20 refund the money
paid and explaining the reason why
the ticket Is left unused in the hands Of
the purchaser. Il is courteous to inclose
q stamped envelope in which the money
may DO returned.
When all these things have been done
the company usually acknowledges the
receipt Of the ticket holders commune
cation and promises to investigate the
matter. The investigation consists ia
tho proper Identification Of the ticket
and q little bookkeeping to set all right
IN the accounts. Then the purchaser re-
ceives from the company q check for the
amount due, along with a letter request
ing acknowledgment on the part Of the
recipient That CLOSES the transaction
and there is no material loss on either
side-New York Sun.

ne Law nslatius Ihcrcto 1aid Doun ~
the eNpreme Court
A United States district judge IN
Arkansas instructed a jury that every
where except within his own house the
law requires a man 10 run away and do
his best TO escape from an assailant be-
fore killing him. The judge further
said that when assaulted on his W
premises. but outside Of his house, q
man must show his sense Of danger by
efforts to escape before his plea that he
killed his assailant 20 n himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted.
This instruction vas handed down
from ancient times when weapons Of
assault consisted Of knives, bludgeonss
swords, etc, which an activo man had
some chance Of escaping. But IL is not

and winchesters, whose bullets no man
can dodge or outrun, and the United

The easterner, bred and born at sea
level, has a very vague idea Of that part
Of his country which IS nt a cloud
height, and he has scarcely any conoep-
tion Of the governing climate of such a
section. The purely picturesque appeals
to the tourist, and he gives hardly a
Thought, surely not q serious one, to the
high altitude section through which he
passes.
The Adirondacks have accomplished
wonderful temporary healings and per-
panent cures for certain pulmonary
troubles, yet their beneficial results do
not compare in extent with those Of that
section which lies at an altitude vary
ing from $500 to 5000 feet above the
sea, known as the high and dry Rocky
Mountain belt, whose heart is Colorado.
From q statistical comparative wealth
or bureau report little idea could be
formed Of this climate, for in these COM
parative statements the dry and rarihed
condition Of the air is not fully appre-
ciated. Tho dominant feature Of this
high altitude is light, dry and electrical
atmosphere, with its abundant sunshine
and clear weather. This is true of all
seasons at the 5000 foot level, or while
rain falls in torrents for an hour nearly
every day during May, June, July and
August, the sun always shines the rest
Of the day, and ten minutes after the
rain has ceased the sandy roads are dry
and the air does not retain moisture.
After those months not a drop Of water
falls from the cloudless sky, and snow
storms are few and light.
The mercury occasionally drops to 20
degrees below zero during winter nights
and rises to 60 degrees in the shade the
following morning, while in summer,
although a blanket is always q nightly
necessity, the thermometer often regis
ters 90 degrees during the day and the
heat Of the sun is always intense. These
extremes are much less keenly felt than
they would he at sea level, owing to the
dryness Of the air.
It is a region Of out Of door life,
where regaining Of health is q business.

would be measured by weeks If they re-
turned to the dampness of sea level

As far back as seven centuries before
the Christian era there were very gayly

by Jewesses ages before the time Of
Ezekiel, even in the days Of Moses and
earlier yet. There were earrings among
