 .As the sole woman member of the Colorado legislature,' says an ex- change. Mrs EyangeIine Heartz is at tracing much attention. It is saul that there is nothing of the strong minded type about Mrs HeartZ, nor is she seeking undue prominence in the legislature. Her seat is near the cen ter of the hall and there are no signs about her desk of feminine frills, the only thing about 1t which contrasts u strongly with the others is that IL ls not adorned with toothpicks nor cigar stumps. When first Mrs Heartz arose and said. MT Speaker dead silence fell upon the assembly. Then MI Speaker in some eTnbarrassmens, stammered: -Ah, ah! the. ah, latiF member from ArapahOes Mrs heafi1' frowned and again said. 'AIr speaker.

Alr Speakerr He wiped his brow and ad= dressed her as: The member from Arapahoer The little lady smlled She had won her first victory in the legislature"
 What fools these mortals be who make q practice of indulging in con tentions over the trivial things that turn up in this world from day to day. The man who said life was too snoft for this kind of business had the right idea and it is pity that more people do not look at life from that stanh- point. Looking at Michael Woods last evening one would think that he was destined to live to ripe old age. To- day he passed from the sphere of ac- tion in this world and his sturdy form will no more be seen on the public. streets. m additional proof of the truth of the phrase from the Great Book. "E'en in the midst of life we are in death." What happy place this world would be if we could learn, to make light of the small things that we encounter on our journey through this vale of tears. Aside from the families of those who are called away sudden 1y. no one notices it so much as the reporter. who makes regular trips 10 the different undertaking rooms. To- day he meets q fellow man on the streets apDarently in the enjoyment of good health. Tomorrow the self same fellow being is not in the flesh and he jOts down the name of one more man who has crossed the great divide. And Still the demon Of discord continues to ply his game. Let us take q lesson from what is going on .abont Us and be more patient The world wants more peace.
 
 The employees of the Waterbury Buckle Co have been having q yaca- Iion since Wednesday. while the company was moving the engine onto the bed in q new house The hands have been working nights for some time past and as there are lots of orders ahead the help rather enjoy the little relaxation. The concern has made wonderful strides during the past few years and is now one of the finest plants of the kind in the coun- try The latest improvement made there was the installing of an electric lighting plant, which gives the place an air of prosperity that nothing else ill this line could impart to it. It is q big improvement on the gas, to say

The hands have names for the different sections of the second floor. where most of the girls are employed. The brick addi- ton at the south end is known as the White House." while all that part of the frame structure fronting on South Main street is referred to as The Parlor" The ell on the north end facing Washington avenue is dubbed s'The Kitchen" a.Id the ell about mid way in the building, commanding q. view Of Railroad Hill and other points of interest in that direction isAdown on the list as "Old Maids Alley In the past it used to be known as t'The Corner" and then as now sheltered some of the handsomest girls in the factory
 If 1 ever get nipped for using the shooting irons I'll send for Attorney Bauby the first thing. This will in sure my acquittal so far as public cen sure is concerned While some people may not believe it. still it is q notori- ous fact that public opinion has some thing to do in determining the fate Of men arrested and charged with major crimes. Mir Bauby has q faculty of getting his clients side of the case into the newspapers in way which would lead the unwary to believe that the.y were entitled to the sympathy of the whole community, and fellows who suffered at their hands, rascals of the deepest dye. This is a privilege every man enjoys, but few appear to be able to work it so successfully as our friend. Mir Bauby. who. while accommodating the scribes with all the particulars of a shooting affray, never omits to score q point for his client This is highly E on the part of the disci- pie of Blackstone, but all the same the public looks for a resort to stringent measures in the hope of checking the ] reckless use of the pistol and other weapons which once drawn usually mean death to some human being.
