A Monkey on a Shopping Tour.

In ''The National Magazine"
for March, Maitland Leroy Os-
borne writes of his recollections of
p. 7. Barnum and incidents relat-
to the winter quarters of the big
show. He says:
"A large monkey escaped from
its cage one day and Guiding the
vigilance of the keepers started on
a tour of the downtown shopping
district. A millinery store was
thrown into a tlutter of agitation
at its entrance. Customers and
clerks fed to the workroom and
after locking the door and barri-
cading it, unanimously tainted.
The monkey proceeded to inspect
the stock of bonnets. This amuse-
ment soon losing its novelty, it
wandered from the store with a
wonderful creation of the MILL
uer'5 art upon its head, and spy
ing an approaching horse-car,
made directly for it. The driver
departed for headquarters, leav-
ing the simian indruder temporar-
lily i'll charge. One portly gentle
man, Weakened from IL brief nap by
the connection, gave one glance
at the monkey and sought the
nearest drug store, where he col
lasped i'll Il chair and in a shaking
voice called for bromo settler and
4 temperance pledge. A fond
mother dropped her offspring, and
love heudlong through an open
window of the car. The horses,
suddenly bereft of the gentle adj
montion of their driver, glanced
back to ascertain the reason, saw
the apparition behind, and broke
into II run. The car careered
Town the street at an unheard of
People waiting on corners
for it to stop, caught a
of its lonely occupant and
forgetting their hurry, cheerfully
waited for the next car. AT a
curve in the track the horses
broke loose and galloped away,
and here "A valiant policeman
boarded the car and found the
monkey, with the hat perched on
one side Of its head, hugging the
abandoned baby head downward
to its breast, with an expression
# placid enjoyment on its coun.
puance."

jealousy, envy, hatred, and kim
bred sentiments always avail
themselves of every opportunity
to express adverse criticism. Their
motto is, never speak of a person
unless something mean or unkind
can be SAID of them.
But the true test of merit is the
reception awarded an enterprise
or effort, by the public, if it meets
the appobation of the public, it is
all right try it again.

Plain Facts.

THE Sun is in receipt of a handsomely
engraved pamphlet from Emmerson &
McCaffrcy. brokers and TOWNSHIP boom
ers of Denver, in which is given a uum-
Der of pictures and a list of the mines
purported to be located in the Grand
Encampment distict. The Hercules.
Ferris Haggarty, Doane, Ledbetter, Osce.
ola, and Haskins mines-all of which are
on the list-are all located in the Battle
Lake Mining district and are excepting
the t'erris-H aggarty add Doane mines,
m of them shippers. The Dewey
mine,a picture Of which is %given.is locat-
ell on the head of Brush creek about
twenty miles northeast Of the Encamp-
ment district, and is in the Medicine
Bow range. The Cox mine is located
about fifteen miles southeast of the En-
campment district on Big creek. The
Charter Oak ana the Kurtz- Cbatterton
mines are the only ones located in the
Encampment district which have made
any showing and all the rest are in a
primitive state Of development. The
object of the pamphlet seems to be to
make people believe that the town of
Grand Encampment is surrounded with
mines which are either shipping or will
soon, and the real truth of the matter is
that there is not a shipping mine il. the
Encampment district aud neither one of
the two mentioned which look well ARE
within six miles Of the town of Encamp-
men We are not averse to honest ad.
vertisement but when it comes to boom
ing a own without any regard to truth
we object most emphatically. The
mines we have are all right and with de.
velopment we will nave the greatest cop
per country in the world but the mines
will not all toe located around the town
of Encampment nor in the Grand En-
campmcnt district. The cover of the
pamphlet is adorned with a picture of a
smeltCr purported to be situated at En-.
campmeut and in operation at that place.
Now what is the use of circulating such
a bald faced lie as that. Things of that
character, which are done purely to make
money for the originators, do more harm
in six months than can be undone in a

country and expect to find a city at En-,
campent and mines in oporetion within
walking distance of the town and are
very much disguised with the real state
of things, and naturally carry away Il
very poor opinion of the district believing
that all the rest are fakes. There is no
smelter in the Grand Eincampment Dist
rict nor is it at all likely to be located in
that district when 1t is built. If built
in the mountains at all, it will be in the
Battle Lake district, as that is where
the bulk of the mines are. but as we
have mines on both sides Of the river it
is quite likely such an institution will be
erected at some point which would con
troll the output of this entire region.
Let us have a little more ruth and
less booming, gentlemen, and we will
give you our hearty support and good
will.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
Upon a Matter Which is Neglected by
Majority of the supposed In
telligent People.

Whenever / see a lad ruoe to
his mother the sad thought invar-
iably comes to my mind: "Does
her husband love her? Has he
set the right example of reverence
before the boy?"
If not, the grave fault lies at
the door. The atmosphere of
n household has everything to do
with the development of its in
mates, and one need not expect
to find true, loyal and loving
children brought up under the
influence of irascible or pickering
parents.
Disputes should be carefully
avoided in the presence of child
rem, lest the evil crop of seeds
sown in moments of unreason
take root in the childheart, bring
ing forth in after years a harvest
of noxious fruitage that is too
strong and deep-rooted to be err
adicated. No matter how deep
the resentment, silence is worth
its weight in gold in many crises.
When the passions are stirred
with bitter anger many a has
ty word is uttered that time will
never entirely wipe out from
memory's page without leaving a
blot, no matter how sincere the
after-regret may be. Calmness in
critical situations should be cult
waited, for it will prove in the end
n shield not to be despised. New
ver forget hat the child is look
ing OF curiosly to note which one
conquers in the wordy war. He
may have no say in the matter,
but quite as soon as he is able to
comprehend he is sure to taxi
sides with the one or the other.
Heaven pardon the parent who Is
responsible for such a state of af-
fairs! A child sitting in Judge
ment on the acts of one whom he
should look up to in reverence
and love!
1t is cruel for a father to point
out to a child that the mother
whom God intended thathe should
revere next to the angels has even
on blemish in her disposition
one flaw i'll her judgement. Hon
or your wife in the presence OF
the children. Remember the per
forming of this gracious duty will
deeply influence the life and char.
acter of the child. Who must e
pect and revere you in after years.
When children are grown to man
hood and womanhood, think you
they will have respect and fila
love for tine father who abused the
dear mother who bore them? MOI
A thousand times no! every sucL
act committed stands out bold and
dark against the father as a fl
reason why he is not entitled +,
such courtesy or love.
How much, then, rests with the
husband and to work result of

TnE Wyoming General Hospital at
Rock Springs is in a very prosperous
condition and an examination Of the rec.
ords Of that institution show Il very de.
cided improvement both in the manage.
ment and patronage. In 1898 the ex.
penses exceeded the earnings by 5000,
in 1899 by $500 and if the present rate
of expenses and patronage continue the
excess OF expenses will only reach about
$500 this year. As all deficiency has to
be made up by special tax levied on the

the opposition, who is quoted as
having asserted that woman suf-
frage has not been successful here;
that women do not purify politics
and, giving our wives their
right to vote "corrupts the s%ancti-
ty of the home" Life is too short
and space too valuable to reply at
length to this sort of rot. Nj.
Stewart is either a fool or a knava
for there is no middle ground
on the proposition as laid down by
him. He says that universal suf-
frage was adopted here as an adj
vertising dodge. While this idea
is Il new one to me-who have liv.
ed in the state almost a quarter of
a century-yet it may be true. If
true we bad plenty of time to cor
rect the error, if it was an error-
and yet only one attempt has been
made during all these years to re-
peal the law in Wyoming and on
ly three men of the Stewart ilk IN
our entire Legislature supported
the bill at the time. II universal
suffrage is a failure why don't the
states which have adopted it cross
it off their statue book? Wyom-
ing tried it as a territory for fif-
teen years and then incorporated
it in her state constitution by an
almost unanimous vote-only two
er three members of the entire con-
vention, if | remember right voted
against its adoption. 1t hasn't
changed things materially here ex-
cept for the better. Its influence
results in cleaner politics, cleaner
candidates, and cleaner campaigns
OF the thousand-and-one objec-
tons urged against it by presum.
ably intelligent down east gan.
ders, not a single one will stand
the test of actual experiencing
we who have tried it so long know
full well. Fool women make mis-.
takes with the ballot just as foo
men do; but thank God we are moi
compelled to apologize for any
such condition of affairs as pre-.
walls in pop-ridden Nebraska OIL
Kansas, where the women are de.
MED a vote. Their influence, as
a whole in politics-as in every.
thing else with which they hav,
aught to do on the footstool, bles.
