be a cigar drummer and travelled over
the west and to Utah for many years.
The brand of cigars which ne sold
must have been extremely popular
about election time, unless his own
taste for cigars has deteriOrated with
T. the passing years. He always smokes

no one but man with a clear con-
science and d heavy life insurance
would dare tackle. During a trip of
three days he went to bed regularly
at 9 O'Clock and rose at ;, and had only
one genuine regret and that was the

which debarred him from his only Oc-

he is addicted with passionate ardor.
Then there was Colonel r. A. Slack,
editor of the Cheyenne Leader and in
Cidentally receiver at the federal land
office, where a fond and dOtine, govern

his friends. There is a tinge of COM
mercialism in Colonel Stacks intelleC-

down TO the last copper cent. His feet
never grow cold when Things are COM

furniture when the elusive jackpot
proves tauntingly elusive. Colonel
Slack met with only one accident dur
ing the trip. He got caught cTosswise
in the new Aspen tunnel bore, and for
a time il was feared that he would
have to be divided into sections or dis
tributed as souvenirs after having been
segregated from the clammy embraces
of the reeking walls. The accident Gre
ated wild excitement until, after des-
perate effort. the colonel was success
fully turned about face" and tendeTly
backed out of the tunnel and far away
from danger. Notwithstanding Il all.
he responded promptly to The sound of
the dinner bell and took mans part

when il is disturbed and which emits
