COVER THE RANGE. /"
Origin Of One OF the commone.t Ex-
pressions That Ii Used In the
Great West. ,,l- m.


cepted synonym for death throughout
the west. In fact, it is now familiarly
understood as meaning death in almost
every part of the United States, but
there are few indeed who know the sad
origin of the expression. The few sur.
viving early pioneers of Colorado-the
men who endured the mountain hard
ships of california gulch days" Of '5s
and. '60-know why lover the range
has come to mean death. They know
when it was death in reality.
According to these old-timers in the
mountains the expression originated
soon after Bakers expedition into the
southwestern part of Colorado, nearly
40 years ago. At that time gold excite.
ment was rife in Colorado. The unex-
plored regions of the Rocky mountains
only added to the miners dreams, and
every report of new Strikes became
exaggerated many fold. The finding
of single nugget frequently caused a
stampede of prospectors.
During these fevered and visionary
times it became whispered throughout
the mining camps of the eastern slope
of the mountains that lover the range
were stored away fabulous fortunes of
virgin gold. No one knew the exact
spot where these strong boxes of ma
ture were stored, but the keys by which
they were to be opened each miner con-
fdently believed to be in his own pos
session. The whisperings multiplied.
and every word from the new Ell Dorado
famed the minds of the eager fortune
hunters.
An exodus began. Whole caravans
were soon trailing through the noun
tain passes toward the west. In their
+eagerness men travelled night and day,
each following his own reckoning will.
o'-the-wisp that his dreams had told
him would lead to the treasured ore.
The paths became widely separated.
Few were prepared to weather the
mountain hardships of the new coun-
try, but still they journeyed on. Hun.
ger at last overlook many, and these
turned about, in hope of again reaching
the camps of the eastern slope. The
way was long and hard, for many had
lost their bearings. These became an
easy prey to hunger and the relentless
Ute. The suffering which ensued is
one of the distressing pages in the his
tory of the Rocky mountains. Thou
sands of prospectors passed cover tho
range" never to return. A few, ENACT.
ated, came back, but the majority of the
eager searchers for gold had disap-
peared forever.
Thus was brought to a sad close one
of the largest movements of prospec-
tors ever known in Colorado, and thus
the expression cover the range" has
come to mean death.-C Chicago Times

PHOTOS IN BICYCLES.
Up-to-Dnte Girls Have n New Place
for Pictures of Their
Admire s.

Screens decorated with photo
graphs, by common consent, were reie-
gated long since to the dusty O~bscurity
of the garnet or the mildewed isolation
of the cellar" says the photographer
who studies fads; but photographs
will accumulate. and women find itnec-
cessary to exhibit some of them at
least. So there has risen a fertile
genius with a fad for displaying photo
graphs on the houdoir wall gracefully
distributed between the spoIles Of a hi
cycle wheel, says the New York Press.
Not an ordinary bicycle wheel. how
ever, will suffice. If it is a young wom-
an with matrimonial prospects, more
" less immediate, or a maiden IT the
first throes of hope, she must show her
pictures in a wheel from her best
young mans bicycle. II she is married,
then she must use a wheel which has
%revolved in century runs. This is an
effective ornament and permits the ex-
hibition of 80 or more favorite pic
lures.
"Another fad has brought il about
that many young men who last year
were wearing boards have faces as
smooth as eggs this year. Their adorn-
mentS have been sacrificed to tie fad
in question. The end Of the century

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Bur-
rows of Michigan, in an interview with
a Post reporter, said:
1T is my judgment that if the war
in the Philippines is still in progress
next year and the end is not then in
sight the situation will be to the disad.
vantage of the Republican party. The
only hope of the party, and the country.
| might add, is in a speedy change of
conditions in the Philippines. If (
could have had my own way we would
have simply taken a coaling station or
a base of supplies in the island of Luz
zon, we would not have paid a penny to
Spain and we would have had u foot
hold in the East without the sacrifice of
life and money"
How would you meet the present
situation:'
The president is acting wisely. in
my opinion, in endeavoring to restore
peace and order in the Philippines by
sending an increased army to assist
General Otis. Victory for the Repub.
lican party next year will be made
more certain by the success OF our arms
this year."

undertook to control the situation but it
failed. Last year a combination was at
tempted among the Anthracite coal
roads but one company held out and the
attempt failed. This year, however,
Nr. Morgan has got every last road that
reaches the hard coal fields into the
