Doing 1t Well.

Half-heartedness never wins in this
world. If thing is not worth doing,
do not do ii, Is good rule. The late
Robert Louis Stevenson was always
an enthusiast in whatever he under
took, even when at play. His step
daughter, Mrs Isabel Strong, who was
for time his amanuensis, says that
Stevenson used to maintain that no
one could write a good story who was
not a good play-who could not enter
fully into the spirit of the game. He
himself threw all his energies into
whatever he might be playing. At one
time he was visiting a house where a
small boy was playing boat" on the
sofa. When the lad got tired he did
not wait for the ship to come to port,
but got down from the sofa and
walked toward the door. Stevenson,
who was watching him eagerly, cried
out to him, in apparent alarm, "Oh,
don't do that! Swim at least!"-

Two nominations by reclamation is
the rare, if not unparalleled record in
national conventions, that was estab-
ished by the Republican party on the
21st. In the morning President Nc
Kinley was renominated without a
dissenting vote, and in the afternoon
Gov. The odore Roosevelt of New York,
was nominated for yice-president in the
same manner. Tremendous demonstra-
tions followed the making of nominal
ing speeches in each case, the cheering
in each instance lasting 10 minutes
After the final adjournment of the con-

elected Senator Hanna as its chairman.
Mr.. Hanna will therefore manage the
Republican campaign this year as in

A TRIP AROUND THE CIRCLE.
The Denver and Rio Grande Rail
road, with its numerous branches
penetrating the great state OF COLO
RADIO, has some 81 different Circle
tours through the mountains, one OF
which in particular is the famous l,oVO
mile tour, passing the following points
Of interest: La Veta, Poncha Pass,
Toltec Gorge, Durango-Dolores Canon,
Rico, Lizard Head Pass or Las AMI
mas Canon, Silverton, Ouray-Cimar-
ron Canon, Black Canon, Marshall Pass

comfortably made in four days, but at
least ten days ought to be devoted to
il so as one may leisurely inspect the
principal sights and occasionally gain
rest from fatigue incident to railroad
! travel.
ANOTHER NOTED TRIP
Is the trip from Denver to Grand
Junction and return going via the mar
row gauge line climbing Marshall Pass
and winding through the Black Canon
of the Gunnison, returning over the
broad gauge through Glenwood
Springs and the Grand River Canon
over Tennessee Pass, through Lead
Vile and the Royal Gorge. This triT
is most conveniently made by leaving
Denver, Colorado Springs or Pueblo
on the night train which arrives at Sa
Ida the next morning for breakfast
continuing from there over Marshal
Pass and arriving at Grand junction
in the afternoon. Here close connec
tions are made with trains for Glen
wood Springs, THE Kissingen of Am
erica" arriving there in the evening
at this point travellers should at leas
remain over night. When leaving
Glenwood Springs it is most desirabl
to take a morning train, as this com
pletes the arrangement to pass all o
the scenery on the trip by daylight.
A TRIP TO SALT LAKE CITY.
Tickets reading to Salt Lake Cit.
via the Scenic Line" in connection
with the Rio Grande Western Ry., ar
available over the Denver and Ri
