another man coming ont Of the bank
How different he looks from moment
ago whom he passed BY, at the time
whistling popular air. His brow is
contracted and he is studying with a
sad look the right hand side of his
book. Tho thermometer to his business
soul registers below zero and it has
frozen even the smile that he wore an
hour ago. He Is man slack in his
business methods and keeps no account
Of the checks he draws. 1t is so much
easier to remember ones deposits than
his drafts, and as result such men are
frequently disappointed when their
books are balanced.

Il while his worldly mind hoped and
sray.d for a longer lease on life. still
here was something conscious in him
tnai he was not long to inhabit tile
-.me world with those who passed him
by. His physician in the east, poor
ignorant fool, who has doped him for
years for various ailments finally to
get the case of his hands had advised
him TO come to Colorado. The man
has had the consumption for years but
he has called it by every other term,
shrinding from the name consumption
ss his guilty physician will shrink from
the burning. spluttering abysses Of hell
into which, IL ever 4 man goes, he will
find his way for his ineIcusable ignor-

1t will not effect the resurrection of
the dead nor can 1t stay the hand OF
death when the vital organs Of man are
entirely destroyed by disease. That

Of Caaon, will do much TO cure disease
and leDgthen life needs but q glance
down Main street to be proved. More
than half OF the business men on this
street came to Canon for their own
health o. for that Of some member of
the family. There 10 man who came
to Cason ten years ago: for year he
was able only to walk about the streets
and enjoy the sweet balmy air of our
near mountain town. Today he has
the appearance of an athlete and
weighs 175. Next door to him is n man
who came here for asthma In the
east life was burden TO him but here
a healthier man docs not live. Down a
block lives a woman who was carried
from the train. Hemorrhage of the
lungs had reduced her in strength and
flesh to almost nothing. For six years
she has enjoyed life as she did in her
girlhood days. Here comes a man now
six feet three inches, weig Il 80.
Were it not well known that he came
here one Of the worst Of Grips" you
would not believe that he had ever been
sick a day ia his life. such examples
are counted by the hundred. No one
comes to Colorado with life and any
vi aliiy without being benefited by
the change. Those whom deaths fin.
ger has not touched may have new
lease on life.

See. here passes . jolly crowd of
merry kodakers. Christmas was no,
long ago and It left kodak to each of
these gay youngsters. Well along in
their teens, yes, but still youngsters in
that their days are but mere periods of
the sunshine Of life and enjoyments of
the pleasures Of youth, yet unacquaint-
ed with the serious thoughts that
Come to the older person. They are
