PLIGHT OF A BAsHFUL MAN.
He Would Have Gone If He Could
Have Summoned Up Courage
to Ask for His Hat


'1 always was bashful sort of fellow
when l was young" said Ananias Fisher, as
he passed his plate for the third piece
of pie. He was dining out with friends and
wished them to understand his tempera-
ment@
But l was broken of that habit before
Was %. 1t was either a case of get over
it or stay all night, and | got over it" he
said, as his plate was returned with good
sized piece of pie such as Topeka house
keepers make. Il was calling, out on Fill
more street, and when l went in | forgot all
about putting my hat on the rack in the
hall, and carried it into the parlor with me-
| put 1t on a sofa, and when the lady of the
house came in she said how -dye-do' and sat
her 280 pounds down on that hat.
" i beg your pardon, L said.
Why, what's the matter" she asked,
for guess looked kind of bewildered

stitch IN my heart
Eve went on talking, and I thought that
when she got up L could sneak that hat, but
she talked and talked.
''lt got along to nine o'clock, and knew
1 ought to go, but l was too bashful to say
anything, so [ just waited. Then the clock
struck ten, and / knew | was staying too
long, but l could not get that hat.
" is it moonlight? asked the 280-pouRd
lady.
II said it was, and knew she wanted me to
go, but | did not have the nerve to ask
for that eat. Just as the clock struck IL
she blurted out: why don't you go?'
'.1 will if you will give me that hat,' /
" What hat?'
"'My hat

You are sitting on it.

The Secret of Success as a Writer,

The way to write is first to have
something to say, and then say it
as well as you can. That is all
there is about it. If what you
say is something which the world
wants to hear, an editor viii find it
out quick enough when you send
him the manuscript. So far as
"a chance to be heard" is concern
ed, there is plenty of chance? The
question is; Have you something
worthy Of chance? That you can
only find out by sending your
manuscripts to editors. Influence"
counts for nothing in magazine
office; the only thing that counts"
IS what there is in a manuscript

There will doubtless be another
ticket nominated before the close
of the week aud a contest viii ac-
.cordiugly ensue, but following its
usual course in the Municipal cleo
ton the Pnor will remain strictly
neutral. The PILoT is the only
paper in Crested Butte and con-
stautly aims to represent the entire
community; therefore, even though
we may have a personal choice, we
will not support one set Of candi-
dates any more than the other.
The nominees will undoubtedly all
be competent and in every way
qualified for the Offices to which
they aspire, and it only remains
for the voter to take his or her
choice. If there is any superiority
iA any instance our people viii
quickly discern it and cast their
votes and influence in that direc-
ton. That is why the PILOT is
neutral.

The despoilment Of the many by
the few was never so systemtized
and effective as it is today. True,
labor is more productive than ever
before: therefore livelihood should
be easier gained, men should live
better, their material and intellect
ual lot should be vastly and steadi-
ly raised, raised just as improved
machinery. as greater knowledge
applied to the direction Of industry
makes their labor more productive.
But this increased productiveness
of labor goes to those who enjoy
special privileges, goes TO enrich
the favored few. Thus do contrasts
between riches and poverty grow,
thus docs unrest increase, thus is
poverty by very comparison made
harder and harder to bear.

Experiments with liquid air,
SO long a curiosity in the scientific
world, have been largely conducted
of late with view to the utilizat-
ion of the atmosphere as power
yielding substance. What high
pressure steam is to water, ordinary
atmospheric air is to liquid air
except that the ratio of pressure is
far greater. The current scientific
problem is to produce liquid air
so cheaply and in such abundance
that the energy liberated by its
transformation under proper con-
ditions into normal state may be
used in all the mechanical pro
cesses which now require steam
pressure. From a mere toy OF the
laboratory, liquid air at temper
ature of 312 degrees below zero is
to be exalted to the high and
dominant position of the worlds
greatest power agent, supplanting
steam and electricity as completely
a, these forces have driven out
other artificial methods Of evolving
and applying mechanical force

IDLE CAPITAL.

not only prevented foreign capital
from seeking and securingproitable
investment in many Colorado
enterprises, but it throttled and
strangled our industries absolutely
by frightening home capital out of
the avenues of trade and commerce
into the concealment OF complete
retirement.
This capital is dead TO commerce
and to the world. It performs no
function whatever in the great
business world. 1t might just as
well be in the bottom of the seq so
far as our Industries are concerned.

Of calamity The decline in real
estate, rents, merchandise and
other commodities was but the re-
suit of shaken confidence brought
about by their wall, uttered for
political effect, to foist into Office
those whose conduct has brought
upon their heads the reputation
of an outraged people. Their cry
of calamity has been heard with a
vengeance. In response the people
placed at the public crib a horde of
political pirates to prey upon the
revenues of the state, while capital
went flying pell nell from the busy
marts to find place of security
from the greedy and relentless
grasp of plunderers.
But there is a riff in the clouds
and the golden sun Of promise is
shining again. The faint echoes
of calamity are dying away in the
dim distance and mountain and
valley will soon ring again with
the happy song of industry
The above is taken from the
Searchlight, critical weekly OF
Denver. The attempt to foist the
responsibility for the idleness of
capital upon the silverites is pal
pt p y lame and willnot be accepted.
Such ridiculous statements carry
no weight with the thoughtful
person and are worthy of nothing
but contempt. The gang the
Searchlight pulls for is the worst
aggregation of political sharks and
schemers in Colorado.

TELL REPORTERS THE TRUTH.

Cardinal Gibbons Advises Absolute
Frankness with Newspaper Men.
In his address at the New Orleans
Press club recently, reports the Balti-
more Sun, Cardinal Gibbons said:
If had one piece of advice to give
a public man more than another it is,
be frank with the reporter. It has
been my privilege and pleasure to come
in contact with and to know a great
number Of reporters. I have steadfast-
1y adopted a policy of absolute frank
ness with them, and I have yet to have
confidence betrayed. They have
never proved themselves unworthy of
the estimate placed on them as gentle
men. 1t IS the public man who con-
ceals, whose very act of concealment
is perceived by the reporters (for in
the very nature of their business they
must be quick to perceive), it is this
very concealment which induces the re-
porter to further conduct his investiga-
tons and often to get wrong what, had
he been in the condolences of the man
whose manner provoked investigation,
he would have understood and written
intelligently about. And it is in this
very manner that much of the COM
plant against the reporter originates.
Tell the reporters the absolute truth.
Never deceive Them

Baptist House OF Worship Built Be.
fore 1850 in Virginia..
South of Mason and Dixon's line the
Oldest and probably the most fomous
church is the Providence Baptist, in
Clark county, Il seven miles south Of
Winchester. It was organized at a
different place from where the congre-
CATION now me BITS. Virginia was the
church's birthplace, but previous to
1850 it moved to Kentucky, Daniel
Boone being in luded among the con-
gregation. It has in it's history occu-
pied three buildings, one of log, one
OF stone and the present one, modern
frame.
Not only is tt MS the oldest church in
the south, but it is the pioneer church
organization in the state and is part
OF the very interesting unpublished his
tory of Kentud ky. The pastor of the
church, Robert Elkins, has held his po-
sition for 40 ye ars. The present clerk.
has filed bis oV place for 48 years.
The, early da y stone sanctuary has
stood the test O f time, the masonry not
showing a craclk to-day, having stood as
firm as the chu rch organization itself.
The building is Pver 100 years old. Near
this old church is the more modern and
commodious hoy use of worship built by
the present congregation. No services
are held in the old stone structure, but
it stands mon ument to the thorough
ness and careful work of Kentucky's
early Baptists.

he proceeded to tap it. The spigot used

WHY ONE MAN Is SITTER.

His Young Sister Bought the violets
to Send to His Sweetheart.
st. Valentines day is sad reminder
to q young man on street. A year
ago during the second week of Febru-
airy he had an attack Of the grip, says
the Washington Post, He wanted to
send charming young woman some
violets, and was compelled to ask q
very young sister to buy them for him.
He snappishly refused to tell for what
purpose he wanted the flowers, for he
had grip and his head ached. The young
girl returned with a box neatly wrapped
in paper. The young man slipped his
gard in without untying the package,
and bribed his little brother to carry
the offering to the object of his atten-
tons. That evening the young sister
visited the sickroom.
"Did you like the violets?" she asked.
didn't look at them."
"They were Beauties" said the girl.
X got them at special sale. They
were marked down from one dollar to
so cents-great big bunch, too"
"A big bunch of real violets for so
cents-great big bunch, too"
"A big bunch of real violets for so
cents at this time of the year," said
the sick man.
"Real violets!" echoed the sister.
"Real violets! Why, you didn't say any,
thing about real violets. I thought
they were for mammals bonnet. I
bought artificial violets!"
The young man had never attempted
to explain the 10 after to the young lady
who received the flowers, but if you
talk to him abb put the natural intelli-
gence of young girls you will find him
nightly bitter and gloomy on the SUBJ
iect.

ROCK OIL AS FUEL
There Has Been Great Increase in
It's Utilization in Eng
land OF Late.

During the last year the enormous
increase in the use in England of rock
oil as fuellhas about silenced the alarm
ist who for many years past has
prophesied a time, not so very distant,
when the coal mines in that country
would be exhausted. 1t is not claimed
that the heavy draw on the coal supply
is greatly lessened, but II is argued
that it will be before very long. Last
month the maeter was snder discussion
before the Society Of Arts in london
and one of the papers read on the oe-
casion gave an account of the present
position Of liquid fuel, rs the phrase is
over there, in England and other coun-
tries. In England oil as fuel is in use
on the Great Eastern railway, and it is
said the results have proved satisfac-
tory. 1t has also found more or less
use in the Russian, German and Italian
navies and ON one or two foreign rail
ways. When the oil fields of Dutch
Borneo were first opened up the oil
was not allowed to be carried in bulk
through the Suez canal and there was
not q single port at which obstacles
were not placed in the way of its intro
duction. Now vessels carrying $500
tons and capable of discharging over
500 tons OF oil per hour pass through the
canal regularly. The impediments
placed in the way of its discharge have
been done away with, as experience has
shown that there is no real danger.
Several advantages are claimed for the
use Of oil as fuel to replace coal, the
chief being the convenience of storage,
the reduction of labor in storing and
rapidity of discharge. The alternate
contraction and expansion Of the fire
bars and steam tubes, unavoidable
when coal is used as fuel, is said to be
altogether stopped, but against this has
to be placed a risk of overheating.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

NEWS OF NEW CASTLE
NEWs on NAE STORM.


Yesterday afternoon and evening,
the wharves and river front OF New
Castle had a very busy appearance.
Storm signals at the Breakwater kept
vessels from putting to sea, and the
consequence was that provisions and
water ran low and the boats ran up the
river to replenish their stocks. Early
in the afternoon the Clyde Line steam
ship Goldsboro dropped anchor OF
Delaware street wharf. The Goldsboro
Rms from Norfolk and Richmond to
New York, and the storm drove her
in the Breakwater. Provisions and
water ran low, and she proceeded here,
where she took a fresh supply OF both
The next to arrive was the Georges
Creek, a large ocean tug, belonging to
Black, Sheridan and Wilson Company,
Of Baltimore. The Georges Creek had
a bolt in her high-pressure cylinders.
The bolt which was used in the pack
ing became loosened, and got beneath
the piston. Machinists from the Della
ware Iron Works took the cylinder
head on, raised the piston and succeed
ed in getting the bolt out The tug
then left for the Breakwater, where
she left her tow OF coal barges, con-
signed TO Portland, Me. The tug
Wrestler, belonging to Haley and Ap-
pleton, Of Boston, was also noOred to
the Delaware Street wharf. She was
forced to take refuge behind the
Breakwater on account OF the storm
and put in to New Castle to get fresh
water and provisions. The captains
and crews of all the boats say that
there has been very bad weather at
sea these last three or four days
