The Same ..Gold Brick" Hit Us.

Through the legerdemain Of Secre-
tary of State Beckwith the constitu-
tional amendment was published as
provided by law, although no provision
has been made for the payment Of
these publications by the newspapers
in the various counties of the state.
On the 2sth day of last July, Mr..
Beckwith sent out the notices for pub
fishing the constitutional amendment,
which said among other things, that
after the publication, to attach copy
to an enclosed proof of publication,
make affidavit to the same and attach
the proof to the enclosed voucher and
return to the secretary's S office for ap-
proval, when the same will immedi-
ately be sent to the state auditor for
payment" This leaves clear infer
ence thst provisions for the payment
of the debt had been made.
Under date of November 18th last.
Mr.. Beckwith writes to the publisher
of the Leader as follows:
"YOur certificate of publication of
constitutional amendment, has been
received, and your voucher will be is
sued and deposited in the hands of the
auditor of state.
''Ihere is no money at present with
which to pay these bills, and will not
be until after the next general assem-
,i.,t tny, ftT,,
which. yoa can get your warrant at
any time by calling on the auditor Ct
state
On December 18th, he writes to
about the same effect, excepting that
another happy thought seems to have
dawned upon him, and he sends the
voucher back instead of turning it
over to the auditor.
Now if the publishers, through their
over confidence in the state admins
tration, will submit to this sort of
buncoe steering without rebuking the
members of the Legislature and every
state officer connected with it they de-
serve to lose the amount involved
The, secretary might have been frank
enough with the publishers to have at
least told them that the legislature
had squandered the funds that should
have been placed to liquidating lcgiti-
mate eXpenSes.--Akron Leader.
We sanction the above article IN ey-
cry particular. We were struck by
the same "gold brick" When we re-
ceived copy of the constitutional
amendment for publication we suppos-
publication, and had made the requir-
ed proof, we would receive our money.
Then. we did not know that there was
no money on hand to pay our bill. We
had not been in Colorado long enough
to realize in what desperate condition
the state treasury had been placed by
the hungry pie-eaters who have man
aged the finances of the state for sew
eral years. Had we Known of the true
condition of things we should not have
agreed to publish the amendment
However, since we were "buncoed," )"
we shall take our medicine witch good
grace and shall bide our time until the
lapse of two years enables us to WELD
our influence in placing the state again
in the hands Of intelligent Legislators
and competent officials.

Heets Have Their Troubles.

Professor NJ. E. Lippman, the
great German specialist in beet sugar
manufacture, announces that he has
made a most curious scientific dis
covery that beets are subject, like
humans, to biliousness. melancholy
and fretting or worry. He says that
he is not yet prepared to make public
all that he has discovered, as he
wishes to further confirm his expert
ments and follow up the subject on
the lines he has laid out. He says
that beets contain the same substances
which form the human bile; that is,
cholesterine. Twelve years ago he
found this in beets and was able to
identify it Enthusiastically, also the
phytosterine of Hesse. At first he
was inclined to think that these SUBJ
stances were the result of changes in
greasy or oily matter used in the
manufacture of the sugar. hut as only
mineral substances were ljed, and an
examination failed to substantiate his
suspicious, he was obliged to accept
the facts as he found them.
Pursuing his Investigations further,
he arrived at surprising conclusions,
and has felt loath to make public what
seems as unavoidable inferences.
These may be broadly stated as fol.
lows: That beets are subject to bad
humor, worry, biliousness and feel
ings analogous, at least in their phys
biological action and effects, to the
same sentiments in the human body.
That experiments extending over sew
eral years only tend to confirm these
strange conclusions, and that he is
now pursuing line of research which
appears to lead to equally curious in
ferences.-Philadelphia Record.

Joe Jenerson's Nap.

for that morning, so he arose and soon
after appeared before the clerk.
"See here" he demanded Of that
individual. "why was I called at this
unearthly hour?"
ST don't know, sir" answered the
clerk. "I'll ask Mike"
The Irishman was summoned. Said
the clerk: mike, there was no call
for Mr.. Jefferson. Why did you dis
turb him?"
Taking the clerk by the lapel OF the
coat the Hlbernian led him to one side
and said, in a mysterious whisper,

long trained skirts are demanded for
house wear. Tea gowns, and all gowns
to be worn for formal occasions and
strictly for the house are always more
graceful when they are made long.
The present idea of the dressmakers
seems to be to make these skirts-and
the same idea is carried out in some
of the street gowns-with silk drop

finished with two or three accordion
pleated ruffies. The unlined skirt
itself has facing sewed in with the

leaves. Suddenly the deciduous
yrowths are bare, and 1.-THE only colors
eft are the manifold shades Of green,
which make the northern forest i'm

haze around the November moon,
and before morning the snow begins

fashion which tells you that the King
has come to reclaim his own. In the
morning the wilderness is tucked
away beneath thick, white coverlid,
and you will not see bare ground
again for six months. In the cleared
fields and open roadways the wind
blows cold, but in the forest you feel
scarcely breath Of air. and during
the first month of winter you rarely
need to cover your ears OF wear any
extra clothing. g.-Scribner's.
