Contains Much Truth.

From a long article in the Denver
Times dealing with the "tear-down"
policy Of the Denver papers, we take
the following paragraph, which con-
tains . mint Of truth: when the
time comes in Denver, if it ever does,
that the interests of Colorado are
held paramount to the interests of
some editor, or the child of his editor
ial pen, the people will find that the
state will progress and advance with
more rapid strides than it Idoes now,
and that there will be new conf
dence in every locality. People un-
acquainted with the state who read
about the mean men,, or men pictured
as such, by the Denver press can
hardly be censured for their comment
concerning the west. 1t would be q
good thing for the city, for the state
and for its development if the papers
of Denver would come to realize that
man may be opposed to them in
business ard in politics and still be a
gentleman, good business man, a
good citizen or a good public official. /"

4 Pertinent Truth.

When one hog gets an ear of corn
every other hog will trot along be-
hind and squeal and beg and are
ready for bite. but just let hog
get its head fast in crack and every
son of SOW will jump on and help
tear him to pieces. Just so it is with
men. As long as man is prosperous
and has money he can't keep friends
off with base ball bat. The mo-
ment he is unfortunate and his wealth
is gone he is not only snubbed by his
former alleged friends hut they begin
to do him all harm possible. When
a man starts up grade the world falls
behind and pushes, but when he starts
down grade the world steps to one
side and greases the track. Field and

Seeking Civilization.

Tuesday Porto Rico became pos
session of the United States. In one
sense it may be said that she became
another star in Old Glory's constella-
tion. For more than four centuries
Porto Rico has sought the light Of
civilization and separation from the
decaying remnant of the Latin race.
She has been too close to America
and the New West and the fixed star
Of American civilization to be what
might be termed part of the mother
country in spirit. There is every evi-
dence that the people on this little
island viii become good citizens, and
that they will add to the material
power and strength of the United
States. While the resolution declar-
ing war for humanity's sake in Cuba
said nothing about the acquisition Of
Porto Rico, and Tuesdays addition is
in one sense reputation of that old
standby, the Monroe doctrine. it is be.
coming more and more evident that
the guiding hand of Providence is di.
recting the rays of the sunshine Of
civilization into new lands, and moved
by such motives the great American
people are becoming broader in mind
and in heart. Welcome, little island
of the sea, and may your new home
be happy one!-Denver Times.

Charles Lincoln Boyce, son of VIM.
A. and Eliza Boyce, was bornin South
Canon on the 18th of April, 1882, and
died on the 18th Of October, 1893.
"Linnie," as he was called by those
who knew and loved him, was as q
child and boy quiet, peaceable and
conscientious. A purer soul never
dwelt in mortal body. Bad influences
might surround him but left no pollu-
tion upon his stainless character. His
no6le, faithful heart was true to bis
inborn principles, as, for instance. no
amount of boyish ridicule could make
him ashamed of the proud title Of
Mammals boy"
As an illustration of his faithful
ness to what he considered his duty,
he kept at his laborious work after
he was stricken with the fatal dis
ease that carried him off. But all
the labor and pain and daily trials
have gone out with Linnie's brief life.
and the blessedness of a bright i'm
mortality awaits him who was faith
full in few things
The workman brave who tolls all day
Hastes to his home at set of sun
To pass the slumb'rous hours away
In rest SO we'll and nobly won.
30 to the Fathers house above
The spirit hastes at close Of day,
Safe in the arms of Jesus love
To pass the endless years away.
