PEOPLE WE LIVE WITH.
We Are Slaves to Their whims and
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Traits.


One of the hardships Of life is the fact
that We have TO bear so many unneees-
eary unpleasantnesses and are the vie
tins of so many profitless and useless
tragedies, that are one the less bitter
because they are so little and sOrdid.
Do as we may, we cannot %emanclpate
ourselves from Our surroundings, and
even the freest of ms are slaves to the
whlms and eaprices OF those with
whom we live.
Not long ago a gentleman WAS tell
ing a story about a friend. whose wife.
although a good woman, was one of
those uncomfortable creatures who are
forever f~retting and ~nagging all about
her. At last the gardener, unable TO
stand 1t any longer. gave notice and
quilt. but as he was departing he stopped
by the gallery. where his master was
entertaining several friends. Good
bye, sor,' said he. touching his hat.
I'm sorry for yer, sor. | can lave; yer
can't"
Surely such a story voices much of
the pathos of our common experience.
There are so many times, there are SC
many places that we can't leave. 1t Is
the people to whom W. are tied by a
thousand bonds of affection. of mutual
interest, of duty and responsibility;
who have our happiness in their keep
ing, and oh, the pity of H. they are so
careless of their trust. and we have nc
recourse. We can't leave.
There Is In reality no more ungen-
erous trait in human nature than this
taking advantage of the utter helpless
ness of those of our own household.
They cant throw up their jobs and
quit. They are bound to stay on and
endure us, and we trade upon 1t.
Think OF the young girls you have
known who put forth every attraction
to captlvate a man, and then. as soon
as the marriage ceremony was over.
subsidized into l~istless Stevens. 1t was
as much as to say: '0h, well, he can't
leave now, and / won't bother any more
TO try to please" Think of the men
You have known who were yeritable
Prince Charmings in their counting
days. but who. once married, would
speak to their wives In a way they
would not dare to have used to a good
cook who could give warning and leave.

One of our exchanges sums up
the business outlook in Colorado
in very encouraging manner, and
shows in his argument that a wave
of prosperity is sweeping over the
state:
eThe great revival in business in
Colorado is not limited to any one
locality, but is general all o~er the
state. Neither can any definite
cause be assigned for the great in
crease. 1t is general prosperity
that is sweeping over the state.
The business men have felt it in
the atmosphere, they are all taking
hold and the result is such as can
not be compared to any other bust
ness revival ever known in Colo
rado. 1t has been considered that
1892 was Colorado's banner year.
but the last six months of 1898 will
far outstrip the same period of
1892. And whatnext year and the
