Poor
Blood

When a horse is poor In flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. If a house is cold
new furniture won't warm 1t.
If your strength is easily ex-
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft, if you are pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. 1t is not SO
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich; nor will
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor blood
VOC want something that will
make rich blood.
| SCOTT'S EMULSION of
| Cod-lver OH with Hypophos-
phites Is the best remedy IN the

MORE ABOUT THE RAILROAD.

The one topic of conversation Just
now is, AlIow about the railroad 2" No
one can say very much.f for certain about
it and yet all who know the inside
workings are pretty certain that the
road is an assured fact The repIesen-
tatives of the eastern capital have been
here for a week. They have made a
careful examination of the proposed
route. both from Canon and out from
Cripple Creek. The condition of the
two cities have been thoroughly looked
INTO. They have gathered all the infor-
nation possible and have returned East
to make last report to the other mem
bers OF the company. While il was not
heir purpose here to give out just what
their report would be or what the re-
suit, still II is certain that they found
everything In fully as good or better
shape than had been represented. and
IN this they were exceedingly well
pleased. They were delighted with our
city and pleased with the future pros
poets of the great gold camp. That
their report will be favorable there is
little doubt. and there are many who
arc we'll satisfied that the road will be
put through at an early day.
In the meantime the work of grading
the first section of five miles goes
rapidly on, which will lessen very much
the time required TO complete the en-
tire road.

what IL Proper In the United States
In Not In Mexico
The man who had been down in Mex
leo trying to buy up a carload of silver
dollars made for the American market.
and guaranteed worth their weight in
sterling silver. was in town the other
day looking for customers. Incidental
ly he ran across a Star reporter and
offered to sell him n ton or two of dol
lars. Then the man asked for light
and the reporter. Tipping the ashes
from his cigar. handed it over to the
returned traveller.
There's such a difference in Gus
toms.' said the man, taking his light
from the borrowed cigar. Now you
notice how politely and thoughtfully
for thoughtfulness is the true polite
ness--you knocked the ashes off your
cigar when yon handed it to me to light
mine9''
Reporters are always polite" sug-
gested the reporter
"As l was SAYING" continued the
man. unheeding, there is such n diff
ference in customs. Now. when | Went
to Mexico the first time, | didn't know
the Mexican code of manners. and
about the first thing did when landed
was TO ask man for light. He hand
ed me a cigar with the ashes on. l
thought it was bad manners, hut
Tipped them off and iindled my weed.
l did that four or five times. and
always got it in the same way. Then
l began to hope some of them would
ask me for light so could show Mex
leo what real manners were | got the
chance one day. and when a man asked
me for light dipped off the ashes and.
with a salaam at least two yards across
in its widest sweep, | extended him
the blazing stump. He took it, of course,
being too polite to treat n stran-
ger otherwise. but he did it in way
that showed me something was wrong,
and began asking aquestion or two.
"'rhe result was that l discovered
what the true form was and what an
ass had been making of myself try
ing to teach those old CASTLE soaparcons
what tho code cigarro was. My in
structor told me that the thing to do
was to lcavc the ashes ON at their fun
and TO daintily touch the uniightcd ci.
gar or cigarette just about the fire line
between the ash and the tobacco. After
that, being no longer In ignorance. to

MARKED IMPROVEMENT.

No ONE will doubt the statement
that as the farmer prospers so prospers
the nation. II is also easy to see that
the farmer prospers most when the
prices of the articles to be produced are
highest With these facts in view one
needs only to glance over the following
comparison of prices of leading farm
products on July 7th, 1895 and July eth
1885,, to see that there is a marked i'm
proyement in the times over year ago.
The prices are from the Cincinnati

HlsToRlc BATTLE GROUNDS.
Strategic Point. Used by the Ancient
and MOderDs.

and Moderps.
It is in a theater off old wars and
amid scenes made familiar to all the
world through classic story that the
Turk and the Greek arecontending.
Pharsalos, to which Crown Prince
Constantine retreated from Larissa, is
the ancient Pharsalia III name. but not
in site, lying some eight miles to the
southwest of the battle ground where
julius Caesar overcame Pompey in As
B. CT Pompey's troops on that occasion
retreated to Larissa, reversing the
movement made by the Greek troops on
| Friday.
Edhem Pasha invaded Greece by the
very pass through which Xerxes led
his immense Persian army in 4s0 Il. C..
Milouna pass is that pass by Petra,
Pythium and Oiooson,r referred to by
Grote and mentioned by Livy. The
Greeks had expected AfrSes to enter
the Thessalian plain Dy the way of the
vale of Tempe, between Olympus and
ossa, and they occupied that pass But
when the Macedonian king privately
sent them word that Xerxes was to
come by the other pass, west of Oiym-
pus, they gave up the plan of meeting
him on their northern frontier. If they
had made a stand against him in Mi
louna pass they might have kept him
out of. their eouritry and have saved
Athens, just as Constantine would have
averted all danger to Greece if he had
been able 10 keep Kdfrem Pasha north
OF the mountains.
Since he has let Larissa go so sheaply
il is not likely that in his weaker posi-
tion at Pharsalos he will offer an effect

there viii be no Thermopylae. In the
first place, the road the victorious Turks
will take towards Athens, if the for
tunes of war allow them to take any.
does not run through the famous pass
where Leonidas and his 800 Spartans
held out so valiantly against Xerxes.
From Zcitun to the west of the Afalic
gulf government road runs directly
TO Athens But wha: is more to the
point. there is no longer pass at Their
mopylae. As Herodotus describes it.
there was barely room for a wagon road
between Mount Oeta and the shore of
the gulf so that but three or four of
Leonidas' Spartans could fight abreast
In $500 years the alluvial deposit
brought down by the Spercheios has
filed in the gulf far from the ancient
shore, so that "a broad marsh is now
seen where Leonidas kept the pass
The hot springs which gave the place
the name OF the .'hot gates" still flow,
however. The changed shore line and
the construction of new roads west of
the mountain have destroyed this most
famous of classic battle grounds. Here
il was that the Aeotoiians meI Philip.

mans, and the Greeks with Brennus and
