MUSIC AND SCENERY.


The strict Wagnerite refuses to
hear the music of his favorite com
poser in the concert-room. 1t was
never intended, he will tell you, to be
performed by itself, but to be played
as an accompaniment to the action.
for the purpose of heightening the
effect of the intensely dramatic situa-
tions coupled with gorgeous stage
pictures that are inseparable from
Wagner's famous art work, says the
London Mail.
The most important part of Wag-
ner opera, according to the composer
himself. is not the music, but the
drama, which, indeed, the beginner
should closely follow with the aid OF
the book of words, since the music
is usually sung in German words.
The intending Wagnerite should
also begin with the masters most
popular works, "Tannhauser" and
"Lohengrin." He will then at once
recognize the familiar music he has
already heard SO often at concerts,
and, struck by it's beauties, he will
attend many performances of these
two. Next year he will want to hear
these again, supplemented by "Tris-
| tan und Isolde" that wonderful music

CATARRH

or Inflammation of this delicate pink
membrane.
The system is weakened in VIM
ter. The delicate lining is more
susceptible to irritation or inhamma-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, fevers, etc., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by one catarrh
cure-Pe-ru-na.
That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever-you will
not be well until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. You
may think your trouble is some
other disease and not catarrh. Call
it what you will, one thing is sure,
your system is affected and must be
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the right
place and does cure.

were quivering with excitement. She
loosed them from the plow and, they
broke away from her and galloped
off across the prairie at the highest
speed. She glanced after them with
dismay. One more chance of life gone
she thought. 1t had occurred to hel

horses, to some place of safety, but
now she could not do that. She stood

this; hours seem ages; moments
seem days. Up the canyon few rods

AMERICAN ATTRACTIONS.
Comparison Between the Scenic
Beauties of Switzerland
and Colorado.

Switzerland, ''the playground of En
rope,". is visited annually by over
$4,000 American tourists and invalids.
Why?
While the Alps have isolated peaks
such as Mont Blanc (15,7s1 feeD. and
the Matterhorn (14,s36 feet), the mean
elevation of the highest Alpine chain
is from only 5000 to 5000 feet. Colo
RADIO possesses more than 120 peaks
over 1880 feet in altitude, of which
no fewer than 35 peaks range from
14,000 feet upward. In the whole OF
Europe, there are not over IL mountain
peaks of note.
The highest village in Europe is
Ayers Platz in Switzerland .(7,5O0 feet)
the highest inhabited point in Europe
is the Hospice of st. Bernard in
Switzerland (s.2O0 feet). In Colorado
the mining town of Leadville. with
$4,000 inhabitants, is 10000 feet above
sea level;. other mining camps are
still higher and some gold and silver
mines are worked at an altitude o1
over 1900 feet.
The highest wagon road in Europe
is said to be the Stelvio road in
Switzerland (9,170 feet). In Colorado
the railroads cross the crest of the
continent at Fremont Pass 11,32s
feet), Marshall Pass (10,s52 feet) anG
Tennessee Pass (1o,433). Switzerland
does not possess, even in the famous
ST. Gothard line, any railroad en-
gineering surprising, if equaling
these. There are wagon roads over
numerous passes in Colorado ranging
from $4,000 feet upwards. the highest
being Mosquito Pass (13,7OO feet).
In Switzerland the cog-railroad from
Vitznau to the summit of the Rig
Kuhn $500 feet) has length of -four
and half miles. in which the ascen,
is 4,O72 feet. In Colorado the cog-rail
road from Manitou to the summit Of
Pixies Peak (4,147 feet) has length
of eight and three-quarters miles, il
which the ascent is s,100 feet, or ar
average of s46 feet per mile, the maxi
mum grade being 1920 feet.

''It's too late, Maggie" she said, too

but the baby was saved! In one mo-

before her. Scenes from her child
hood came back to her; she saw her
self child again, wandering about
her old eastern home, now chasing
butterflies under the pink bloom of
the apple blossoms-now gathering
autumn berries on the crimson and
gold-crowned hills. Then later life
scenes came up. She thought of a
lover waiting alone for the bride that
would come to him only in death; of
the modest little prairie home that
she would never share. All these
thoughts passed through her mind
with lightning rapidity while the
flames were doing their horrible
work. The agony now was too in.
