The results in Fremont county

John B. Meserve, the Florence
candidate for representative on the
Republican ticket, was the strong
man on the ballot. 1t will be
noticed that he ran about hun
dred ahead of the state ticket in
this town. OF course it was a
landslide, and no responsibility
rests with any individual on the
ticket for its defeat
The cause of the landslide is APP
parent. The cry that every man
on the fusion ticket must be
elected in order to show the East
that Colorado is still-a silver state,
made men all over the common
wealth fix their X against the
rooster or the Uncle Sam EN- blem,
without regard to the men on
those tickets.

The Brehany Concert

After hearing the concert given
by the Brehany company at the
Broadway theater, the Denver Re
publican makes the following very
favorable comments:
The Louise Brehany Concert
company seems to have found the
right mixture of music to suit all
tastes, from the severely classical
to ballads almost light enough for
farce comedy purposes.
Miss Brehany is the sort of wo-
man that is liked at first sight.
She is young and pretty and
natural. She sings lullabys di-
vinely. There is quality in her
voice which invites drowsiness.
Her simple ballads are very sweet,
dainty and graceful. She sang

MAKE YOUR OWN FILTER.
There Is No Excuse for Drinking
Water Which Is Full of Germs
and Impurities.

Everybody knows, or ought to know,
that at this time of the year it is the
height of folly to drink water that has
not been previously purified in some
way, either by boiling or by filtration.
Boiling is an effective way of freeing
the water from impurities, and should
certainly be done where no better
method exists, but a useful filter can

~ any excuse for household not pos
sessing one.
The homemade filter consists sim
ply of an ordinary decanter, a lamp
glass, such as can be purchased any
where for few cents, by way of fun
mel, and piece of sponge or cotton
wool. Some people prefer cotton wool
because 1t can be thrown away after
a time and renewed at nominal cost.
If sponge is chosen it ought to be
taken out often, cleaned in hot salt
water and afterward rinsed in cold.
The sponge or cotton wool is placed
for the distance of an inch in the lamp
shade. This is then covered by layer
of fine white sand, which has been
washed very clean, and placed in fine
lawn bag. This must be packed
through the top of the glass, and
spread out to fit across by the aid of
q long pencil or a skewer.
On top of the sand must be placed
layer of animal charcoal which has
been previously thoroughly washed by
putting it in an earthen vessel and
pouring boiling water upon it. This

layer should be at least an inch deep
and should be we'll pressed down upon
the layer of sand. The filter is now
ready for use.
Water is poured into the lamp shade
and allowed to percolate slowly
through to the decanter beneath.
After a time the charcoal will get
clogged and little must be taken
from the top and boiled for few min
utes and then spread out before the
fire. 1t will then be as good as ever
and can be thus cleansed indefinitely.
From time to time, also, the whole APP
paratus will want cleansing, and the
whole of the charcoal, as well as the
bag of sand and the cotton wool, or
sponge, will have to be taken out and
thoroughly boiled, or, better still, re-
placed with new material.

GOING HOME.

Going home-the blithe birds singing
Soft from every bank and spray,
Faint winds to the upiands winging
Incense from the new-mown hay;
Ger her brow the first years roses,
In her heart Loves first delight;
Going home as sunset closes
Goodnight. pretty one, goodnight!
Going home-the dark clouds frowning,
Naught around but ceaseless din,
Even PHYS accents drowning
In the world of tears and sin;
On her brow no longer gladness,
In her heart Cares hopeless blight;
Going home to shade and sadness
Goodnight, weary one. goodnight!
Going home-the stars awaking,
Calm above the cfty's7roa
Tidings unto worn hearts breaking,
OF repose for evermore;
On her brow retreating sorrow,
In her heart returning light;
Going home till joys good-morrow-
Goodnight, happy one. goodnight!

YOUNG GIRLS HEALTH.
Mrs. :. II. Rorer Gives Some Directions
Regarding Her Dress, Diver
si0ns and Dict.

"a young girl should be taught 10
carry her body erect, holding her alb
domen in, and putting the bail of her
foot first on the ground" writes Mrs
s. L. Rorer on THE Best Diet for
BloodleSs Girls" in the Ladies Home
Journal. This is of the utmost impor-
lance to keep the organs in good posi-
ton. Theclothing should be loose, light,
warm and suspended from the shout
ders. Skirts should be made of light
materiai-either wool or silk. The
stockings fastened to the waist by
means of supporters; the one skirt worn
bIttoned to the bottom of the waist,
with an outside dress supported from
the shoulders, should form the Eeces-
sary clothing. The shoes should be
made to fit the feet, with broad soies
and low, broad heels. Gloves should be
sufficiently loose not to stop the circula-
ton at the wrists. A short walk each day
may be taken, but fatigue should never
be produced; far better to spend most
of the Gay out-of-doors in the hammock
or q steamer-chair.
Early to bed should be the first
motto. In the morning, after sponge
bath with a thorough rub, she should
drink half glass of comfortably hot
water. When appetite is felt a soft
boiled egg, q piece of whole wheat
bread thoroughly baked and well but
tered, and a little while after glass
Of cool water, not iced, may be taken.
The MONDAY meal should consist of
a good, clear beef soup, a broiled steak
or roasted beef, q little boiled rice, q
lettuce salad with olive oil dressing,
and some simple dessert, such as
whipped or Bavarian cream After
dinner, rest should be taken in the
open air, either in the hammock or
steamer-chair, and without reading or
heavy mental occupation. For supper,
beef or mutton broiled. and good whole
wheat bread well buttered. At the
close of this meal she should take
slowly about two teaspoonfuls of olive
oil and masticate it before swallow
ing"
