Still Supreme.

The Storm King with Jack Frost as
his right bower, is still supreme in
Colorado.
Our prediction last week that the
storms on the outside would turn out
to be record breakers has filled us with
confidence in ourself as successful
predictCr. 1t has been storms; then
more storms and avalanches almost
continuously for the past two weeks.
Through traffic on the railroads was
suspended from Tuesday of last week
until Monday of this week; then the
trains got through for two days but
have been stopped again since Wednes-
day.
Numbers of people have been killed
by snow slides. and as result of the
suspension of railroad traffic good deal
of suffering prevails in numbers of
mining camps on account OF lack of pro-
visions.
Locally, the coolest snap of the winter
dropped into our midst last Sunday
night when the thermometer registered
40 below zero. Since then it has been
above and below zero, but not mach
either way. About ten inches Of snow
fell during the week, which with the
cid snow makes close to two feet on the
level.
We will risk our reputation as u
weather prophet. and say that the out
look for warmer weather is favorable.
As spring approaches we think we can
make this prediction without mourning
the risk of being called false prophet.
at all events we feel that we are just as
reliable on this point as the ground hog
or any of the other large army of better
paid weather sharps.

ONE ADDED.
Two Men to whom the Cable Gripnan
Enncedea the Ri4hf of Nay.

Two Men to whom the eaDIe OFhpnau
Now Comedies the Right of Way.
There has always been one driver
that the cable gripman has let have his
own way, and that is the driver of the
giant truck with the load of iron
beams. The power in the engine that
moves the cable is ample to brush away
the great truck as it would a hand cart.
But there would be no adequate means
of applying it, and this the cable car
does not supply. Heavy rs it is, it is not
nearly so heavy as the big truck with
the iron beams. In a collision with that
the car would be wrecked and left be-
hind, while the cable sung merrily on
below. The gripman knows this, and
SO, while he bangs the gong, he doesn't
really mean to go on until the driver
of the great truck has turned out.
There is now another moving thing
that the gripman does not try to brush
of the face Of the earth, and that is
the ponderous road roller, such as is
used in the city in the making of as
phalt pavements. These rollers go from
one part of the city to another under
their own steam, numbering along slow
ly but with irresistible power. Some
times they cross the cable tracks or
move along in the same street. With
road roller ahead the gripman slams
the gong rs usual, but it is purely a
formal notice. There are now two men
to whom the gripman comedies the
right of way-the driver of the giant
truck with the iron beams and the
pilot of the steam road roller.

STORY OF A YALE MAN.
A Supposed "Dcnt" Was the Ownc
Of CreEt Wealth.

Supposed "Dcnt" Was the Owner
of Crent Wealth.
Recently n Yale beat was sent to
Jail, after swindling his classmates in
wholesale fashion. He took the whole
country for his field of work and visited
a prosperous classnate in San Fran
cisco, from whom he extracted $50. AL
though wei! to do. the Californian did
not like to waste $50, and resolved to be
stern the Eext time Yale man called.
His next visitor was a classmate who
was known rs the dig in, college, 1s
years before. He seemed just as seedy
as he used to appear in the classroom,
aud the Californian scented another ap-
peal for money. So he fortified him
self, and when asked how the world
had used him, related doleful story of
bad luck, debt ard poverty. lie must
have drawn the picture pretty strong,
for his visitor was deeply mo;ed. Sud-
denly the seedy classmate turned and
said: "Now, don't feel hurt at my offer.
but wish you would take $4,000 from
me to use until you strike better luck.
| really don't know what to do wit h the
money. or how to invest all have, and
shall be delighted to let you have it."
There was ar awkward pause, an out
burst and brief explanation. Then
both adjourned to the club to talk it
over, and the Californian learned how
his old classmate had "struck it rich"
with prosperous corporation and was
really ready to give away money.

The Coming of Baby.

When a baby comes to the house
real happiness comes. The care and
anxiety count for nothing against the
clinging touch of the little hands and
the sound of the little voice. The
highest function given to human
beings is bringing healthy, happy
children into the world. Over thirty
years ago the needs of women appeal
ed to DR.. Pierce, now chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.
The result of his study improved by
thirty years of practice is embodied in
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t
strengthens, purifies and makes
healthy the organs distinctly femi-
nine. 1t gives weak women the
strength and health necessary for the
production of healthy children and 1t
makes the bearing of those children
easy. 1t is sure to cure any weakness
or arrangement peculiar to women;
stops pain, soothes inflammation,
strengthens, purifies, invigorates.
