They tell u good story in Washington
ON Joe Blackburn He had an exciting
argument in n senatorial cloakroom at
Washington several years ago as to the
relative value of brandy and whisky as
mans greatest boon. In the midst of
the argument tho stoical prohibition
Senator Blair of New Hampshire en-
tered the room. Forgetting the well
known total abstinence tendencies of
the New Highlander Senator Blackburn
appealed to him to settle the dispute.
II do not know the difference between
whisky and brandy, F." replied Senator
Blair, with face as passive as Jap

sadly and said: Poor old mani His

THE CLIFF RUINS OF COLORADO.
A Region of Especial Interest to Students
of the Prehistoric.

A Region of Especial Interest to Students
of the Prehistoric.
The cliff ruins of the San Juan and
the Mancos have been the center OF at
traction, have been viewed from all
sides, and their wonders have been told
and retold to the world time and time
again. Scientific men have visited the
region, have penetrated southwestern
Colorado and have considered that sec
ton q place of especial interest, because
tho cliff and cave dwellings are probably
the Oldest in this strange land, being
the first built in that mysterious journey
southwark of great but unknown peo-
pie. For 30 years the prospector has
followed tho San Juan river and gazed
with careless unconcern on the rough
and broken walls, so full of interest to
the archeologist.
But tho mind of the prospector has
no room for eurios, and no has no time
for archaeological investigation. He
sees only the glitter of the gold in the
sand, and thinks only Of the time when
he shall have made his stake. In No
vember of 1892 hundreds of gold hunt
ers rushed madly into the canyon north
of tho Navajo mountain, Travelled 300
miles over bleak, desert tablelands, suf-
fering terribly from tho cold, hunger
and tho long, wearisome journey. In q
few days they had staked off all the
available land for 90 miles up and down
the river and then returned homo with
ont having obtained so much as color
of gold, and today have nothing to show
| for it but the stakes.
It is one of the most wildly pictur-
esque and beautiful regions in the
world. The bleak old Navajo mountain
rises abruptly and towers like grim
| sentinel over the surrounding mesas,
while in q canyon gorge more than 3, 900
| feet below its base the Rio San Juan
appears like silver thread. The canyon
| is several miles wide, and q descent can
be made to tho river only by precipi-
tous trail, but as the river approaches
| tho great Colorado the canyon becomes
more narrow and the wall more perpen-
dicular, and when it merges into the
| Grand canyon it is scarcely more than a
| deep, dark channel
| A few miles from the Colorado river,
\ where the canyon is not more than 800
or 1000 feet from wall to wall. and
| where the walls are perpendicular and
| smooth, on the right wall are the pic
lures of seven warriors with bows
drawn to tho last notch, while across
the river on the opposite side are the
| pictures of seven antelope, apparently
i'll full run to escape the hunters. These
| pictures are we'll executed and are in
the most inaccessible places. Evidently
tho artist had to be lowered from q
ledge hundreds Of feet above the picture
and held suspended while he performed
| his tedious task. There are many places
in the mystic southwest where such
| paintings are to be found. - Denver

"Well, no, we are not, replied the

nurse she thought SO much of came to
live with me last winter +"
"Why, how did that happen?" asked

"M-well, suppose it was because
she heard me say that paid my nurse
90 cents more week than Hattie did
and that wanted one at the time. OF
course / didn't say that to her. you

ing, that girl came to me the very next

said about me. you'd scarcely believe.
Tho girl couldn't seem to remember any
of them at first but after I'd logged her
memory she told me lots. Hattie want

OFF GEORGES BANKS.

Of Georges banks the sun went down
In erimfHn splendor cleaning,
As past tho bar vessel sailed
With graceful pennsnt streaming,
And in her wake across the blue
A stormy petrol flew.
Then from their ambush crept the winds,
To wake each sweeping billow,
And in their grasp tho strong masts shook
Like slender twigs of willow,
And, struck by whips Of foaming spray,
The good ship bore away.
Through darkling clouds the lightning
Glove
A jagged path asunder,
And in the gloomy vaults o'erhcad
Deep rolled the sallon thunder,
While high above unnumbered graves
Up leaped the hungry waves.
Gray rose tho dawn, and dreamily,
As though 'twixt sleep and waking.
Low Tapped the waves, as on the rocks
Their long, green lines were breaking,
And in tho changing sky afar
Paled out single star.
Then seaward from the lonely reefs
The sun camo up all slowly.
His first beams touched white, white face
Among the seaweed lowiy-
dead face dashed to floating planks
Drowned thereof Georges banks.
