In Denver.

They talk no more OF pardise
In Denver,
Think they have something just as nice
In Denver.
The people are contented and
Feel just as good and just as grand
As any people IN the land,
In Denver.
The men are modelled after gods
In Denver,
Could give Apollo great big odds
In Denver.
Each woman is sunny ray,
The babies fair as buds of May,
And as for pretty girls-Well, say!
In Denver.
The doctors cure but never kill
In Denver,
The lawyers never fight will
In Denver.
The edieors are Christian men
Who never WELD abusive pen
The tiger has no gilded den
In Denver.
The preachers know no worldly tricks
In Denver
They never touch on politics
In Denver.
The city cops are all polite,
They walk their beats the entire night
And in their style they're out Of sight
In Denver.
The city fathers all are saints
In Denver.
Their characters are free from taints
Before they pass law they kneel
And send aloft brief appeal
To heaven to guide them in the deal
In Denver.
The polls are handled on the square
In Denver,
No heelers ever loiter there
In Denver.
If candidates are brought to view
Whose morals are not tried and true,
They get the hatchet p. d. q.

When Gabriel signals to the fold
In Denver,
If then the story should be told
In Denver
That heaven was in a crowded way
I think it's not too much to say
that we would be content to stay
In Denver. -Erening Post.

1t will soon cost 81 600 year license
10 retail cigarettes in Denver. With the
curfew law, sling shot ordinance and the
cigarette high-license law all in force,
life for the Denver urchin will become a
Ledger.

We wonder how the Commons will
like what the British Ministry have done
in response to the request of the United
States and France, to keep the pledge Of
last year. Three times in the last five
years that body has, by unanimous votes
declared the pressing, absolute need OF
an arrangement by which an established
parity between gold and silver can be
made secure. What will it have to say

The roads connecting Denver with
Grand Junction have done right in re-
ducing the freight on apples from the
Western slope to this city. 1t seems il
this had not been done apples would
have been brought from Missouri to com
pete with those from the Western slope.
The railroads should in all cases, as in
this instance, make whatever rates may
be needed to-place product upon the
Republican.

A good talker is born, not made. By
reading good books, by keeping ones
self well informed as to the interesting
events of the day, one may become a
good conversationahst. Still, the most
fascinating takers are by no means
those who know the most, but, instead,
those who have the greatest amount OF
tact, are most sympathetic. versatile,
and, most important of all, have that
wonderful something that, lacking a
better name, we call magnetism.-Nou-
