The hot weather of the last few days

hot enough for YOU
The question ncw is: Where shall I
so to escape the heat?" The answer is:
ITO Colorado.
Colorado iasa whole mile higher than
Iowa and Nebra ska. That is why its
summers are so cool: why thousands
annually exchange the heat of the
plains for the cool of the mountains.
In Colorado are scores of places where
hot weather is unknown-places where
snow capped peaks are constantly in
sight-where the Sky ia always blue,
and the air is invigorating as a tonic.

BEATEN BY a REPORTER.
Newsparer Mans Revenge For In
suits From a Candidates

a good story and one with a moral is
related by we'll known southern writer.
No great statesman with good hard
horse sense ever went out of his way to
offend a newspaper man." he says.
Some years ago there was a very hot
campaign in Georgia; for big office.
I'm a distant city lived candidate
who was confident of election. He was
proud and haughty and thought only of
himself
"A young newspaper man was detailed
by the managing editor to accompany the
statesman and report his speeches.
Now comes the funny part Of the
story The statesman ignored his COM
panion-left him to take care Of himself
I introduced him to nobody -treated him
without any consideration.
Once when they we're riding in d
buggy through the country they stopped
at a spring. The statesman cooled a bet
ftleof wine in the spring and drank it all.
without Offering the Journalist drop.
Then he helped himself to a cigar
from his vaiise and resumed his seat in
the buggy.
Drive on. he said.
The newspaper man hated and de-
spised the cold blooded politician, but Le
had his work to do.
He reported the speeches md cam
naign incidents, but$in a quiet way he
knitted the statesman. The big man read
the reports and was conscious that some
thing was lacking, but he could not tell
exactly what.
THE newspaper man simply stuck to
facts and damned the candidate with
faint praise He left out the element Of
lenthusia SIN. He Vas dull and deliberate
| ly so.
The candidate was defeated. and he
never knew how much the newspaper
/ man had TO do with it.
"Of course he did not dream that his
own conduct had injured him. No mean
man ever makes the discovery that he is
i mean. - New York Mail and Express.

ihe highest ambition of a sea captain
these days is to pick up deserted wrecks,
declared an old skipper who arrived in
port the other-day. It's the only chance
he has to get rich"
I'm the unluckiest dog alive" he add

now and have never had the good for
tune to run on a single wreck. Thnt's
the only way for us to make any money.
you see.
If skipper can't haul into port one
or two derelicts during his lifetime, he
stands fair show of dying poor as a
church mouse. Even one good find will
fix Il man up fairly well. and two or three
will settle him for life. I know several.
lucky dogs who haul in something in the
way of u wreck once in every two or
three years. but somehow / can't land
any myself.
why, spend half my time looking
around the horizon to see il can catch
sight of a deserted vessel OF some kind.
OF course, I'd rather she'd be lodged fair

reach of the waves, but wouldn't COM

with nothing but the tip of her mainmast

How much q skipper gets out Of a

course. IL lie hanls it into port practical

her owners have to pony up to the lucky
cuss that finds her.
Nowadays we shippers get low sala-
aries and lots of work. and we don't
often own shares in our ships, as the old
time masters did. Yes, sir, our only
chance is to pick up a wreck, and that's
what we're all looking for. New York
