discouraged as to the splendid pros
poets of the future of the business

It is the first sale of the kind ever
held in Colorado. 1t is an event

For Exercise why Not walk,

For Exercise why NOT WaIkf
The best exercise in the world Is
walking.
A person who knows how to walk In
telligently can get along without a
gymnasium. No other form Of exercise
brings so many muscles into play and
develops them SO normally. The most
popular games are those in which
walking forms a prominent part. Golf,
croquet and in n sense cricket and even
bicycling merely give an excuse for
walking.
Every one knows how to walk prop
erly. 1t is because OF carelessness that
so many walk badly. The body should
be carried erect, the chest we'll out, the
head back, while the arms should
swing freely at the sides. The pace
should be regulated to ones strength.
Every one should walk fast enough
and far enough to get the body in n
comfortable glow. To get the best re-
suits from walking one should give his
undivided attention to it. In other
words, he should walk for the pleasure
of it and not carry worries with him.
Excessive walking is injurious. New
er walk just after a heavy meal or aft
ter violent exercise. And after walk
it is well to rest for 10 or 10 minutes
before taking up severe mental work,

guineas to the Royal Asylum of St
Anne. which is maintained by the Sal
ters Company, and the 300 assembled
guests cheered the chairman as he eX-
tolled the company's charity.
Referring to the South African war
Yerkes Said: THE Beers are brave sol
diers and resemble the early American
frontiersmen. but Great Britain can
not afford halfway measures. Do NOT
pitch into them numerically, but
pitch into your own people who op-
pose the war and make them keep
their mouths shut until the fight is
over. Then settle your differences
amongst yourselves" Yerkes was
cheered to the echo. and the toasts to
King Edward and President Mckinley
provoked great applause from the as

said the damage in Missouri and Kan

attached a wire TO the reptiles tail,

not easily accomplished. and when all
was arranged the full force of the cleo

thousand volts We're used, sufficient TO
instantly kill n dozen men.
The snake twisted and turned and
finally stretched out perfectly straight
and stiff. and the electrician, thinking
il was dead. turned OFF the current.
The apparently dead body was then
tossed to one side. and soon. 10 the

Yachts Constitution. Colum

Last of Series.
MIsHAP TO BOSTON BOAT.
Today's Event Like That of
Yesterday Occasions Con-
siderable Surprise.

Bateman's Point, July 12.-The
yachts Constitution. Columbia aud
independence started on the last
race of the series over the
triangular course this morn
ing. At the start the boats positions
were: Columbia, 11:1I:02; Indepen-
dence, 11:I1 20; Constitution, 11:12.
Soon after crossing the line the
topmast of the Independence broke
off short. After clearing away the
wrecking she kept on, hoping with
increasing wind to have some chance
with the others.
At the first stake the boats were:
Columbia, 11:53:40; Constitution,
11:57:3O; independence, 12:00:30 In
beating to the second mark il looks
as IL the Constitution was gaining q
little on the Colum bia, with the Inde-
pendence q mile and half astern.
The Columbia won, crossing the
line at 2:10, the Constitution at 2:l0:5S
and -he Independence at 2:20:02.
Yesterdays Races
Newport, r. l., July 12.-Columbia
won yesterdays race in fine shape,
with the Constitution second and the
Independence 4 remarkably good third.
The Boston boat sailed an exciting
race with the two HeTreshOffs. and led
the Constitution ut the outer mark,
only to be beaten by her a little over
two minutes on the run to the finish
before the wind. The breeze was
much stronger than on previous days.
and the Independence sailed the fifteen
miles TO windward without her jib top
sail and seemed TO hold higher. at the
same time footing just as fast. BY
corrected time the Columbia bests the
Constitution 4 minutes. 81 seconds:
Constitution heat the Independence ,
minutes and 10 seconds.
The result OF this race leaves the
question Of the supremacy OF the three
ninety-fOOters uncertain. the Independ-
ence being not so slow, after all, while
the Constitution has yet to prove her
unquestiOned superiority to the other
two yachts in anything except very
light airs.
