POLITICAL MEL-ANGE.

The New York Central Railroad
and its employees have reached a
satisfactory understanding, and the
walking delegate and the Demo-
cratic politicians are correspond
ingly sad.
An advance of 10 per cent. in
the wages of the employees of the
West Virginia oil companies is an
nounced. This will hardly mix
with the cold water the Demo-
cratic editors are trying to throw
on prosperity.
There were nearly 1000, 900 more
telegraph messages sent over
United States wires in 1899 than
in 1886 That indicates better
business conditions last year be-
cause people had business to do
and could better afford to pay tele-
graph tolls than two-cent postage.
Colonel Watterson says his news
paper will support the Democratic
nominees this year and is prepared
to meet every attack of the opposi-
ton. The Colonel should lose no
time in going to work upon the OK
cellent arguments the Courier
journal set forth in 1896.
American mills consumed l 1,257,-
19O,466 pounds of cotton in 1896.
They manufactured zoos, ,S4S, 1856

planters and mill hands should not

ton increased the demand for

Outside of the city of New York,
the bank clearings of the United

How dunnison County Girls Kiss
Committee.

The Pitkin girl powders and paints,
And is loved by both sinners and saints,
But she sticks out her lips, takes a few sips,
And then falls over and faints.
The Irwin girl waltzes up to the rack,
Slightly crooking her back;
She sticks up her nose, turns up her toes,
And gives you hearty good smack
The Marble girl is right on her muscle,
And always gets there in a hustle.
She catches her pard, and kisses so hard,
That she usually shakes off her hustle.
The Crested Butte girl is pretty and fair,
With golden brown, or Jet black hair,
And If there is bliss in sweet little kiss,
The Crested Butte girl surely gets there.
Tho Jacks Cabin girl is juicy and plump,
And raises her lips in a lump
Right under her nose and says "here goes,
And the noise sounds like suction pump"
The Gunnison girl is thin and naughty,
But doesn't think it very naughty;
She yells yum, yum" says Its nice by gum"
If you don't give me more I'll get wrotby--
The Baldwin girl is dainty miss,
Who knows exactly how to kiss,
Her soft red lips press while you stop and caress
And sip the nectar in ecstatio bliss.
The editor disclaims all responsibility for thu
foregoing. We don't know anything about thu

Visitors to this section this sea-
son will see the town and the
vicinity under exceptionally favor
able circumstances. The spring
rains have been frequent and
copious and vegetation, although
somewhat later in its start than
usual, is now very iuxuriant. The
trees, grasses and towering shrubs
of all kinds upon the hills and in
the valleys are assuming the green
hue that delights the eye and fills
the air with fragrance. The town
itself presents an improved appear
ance over former years. The side
walks have all been repaired and
the streets and yards thoroughly
cleaned; several new buildings
have been erected and a number of
old ones substantially improved; !;
many houses are being re-painted
and fenced, and last but not least,
is the projected erection of several
large buildings which will soon be
under way.

Man was born to work. To be
happy he must have something to
busy himself with. The mind, as
well as the body, must be occupied
with labor OF problems of some
nature. Unhappiness, discomfort
and unhealthy conditions all come
from idleness. And all human be-

evils.

The following interesting item was clipped from the Arkansas Valley Pilot, published at Ola:
 The race for attorney general is at close and the issue decided in favor of Col. George w. Murphy. While the many friends of Col. Murphy are wearing sunaower smiles and spilling themselves ill expressions of good feeling that come to those who stake and win, and telling how it was done, it will be surprise to many and must not be forgotten that one of tie most potent factors ill the race was the daughter of Col. Murphy, Miss Bessie, who conducted the cam- paign at headquarters by sending out literature, answering letters keeping posted accurately as to the status of the race, receiving visi- tors and i'll short attending to the details of the campaign.
 By her modesty, brightness and graciousness, all of the many friends of Col. Murphy who met =
 his charming daughter during the race, i'll the broad sense of the word left her lover. Her part of the work was arduous and unseen by the world, but it was labor of love and the intensity of her nature was wrapped up in the outcome. As to how well she has succeeded the result tells the tale. And, too, this reminds Us of the ever true fact that no truly great victory can be achieved unless the guiding hand and far-reaching influence of a good woman figures i'll it some where, somehow.

 ''I haint got none, MT. Judge, only we have smallpox down at our house, an l thought you might be kinder sorter prejudiced agin it. "
