A recent Sunday edition ofthe
Colorad" Springs Gazette con
tanned group OF pictures, eight
IN number, representing the Rep
Iblican contingent OF the state OF
Colorado IN the Thirteenth Gen
eral Assembly. In the centre OF
the group is Senator M. z. Far.
well, elected from this district, and
who has the distinction OF being
the only Republican senator III
this assembly. Hon. Neil N. Nc
Lean, another OF the group, Is one
of the seven Republican Repre-
sentatlves. The Gazette made
mention as follows of Mr.. Mclean:
"Mr. Mclean also served his
people so we'll during the l welfih
that they decided to give him an
other trial. He represents three
counties and is usually recognized
by the speaker us. ''the gentleman
from Kiowa." He came to the
capital city with eleven measures
IN III s pocket and enough push and
ambition to get the greater ma
jority of them passed.
Three of the measures are for
improvements in his locality.
The others vary in purpose from
replacing the present prize fight
law to the compelling of the turn
lshing OF transportation to ship
pers by railroads. MIR. Mclean
watches the proceedings with an
eagle eye. There are very few
incidents that pass his nofice and
he does not hesitate to call atten
ton to those things that do not
meet his approval"

MEMORIAM.

In memory of Benjamin Thomp-
son, elest son of my friends Mr..
and Ms. W. II. Thompson, who
departed this life Feb. 10 1901,
aged j years and 6 months. An
other ZONE has lost its nesting
and tie angel band around the
throne has gained another bright
treasure whose gllstenhg wings
hover softly DER the sorrow strick
en- hearts of the parents who tried
SO hard to save their darling bit
all in vain. The Angel OF Death
paused moment in his dark
dreary fleht and the little boy
whose short life had been so bright
and full of promise was gone.
The pure sinless spirit has climbed
the golden stair and The One who
gave has takIn away. 1t Was hard
to realize, as you gazsd on the
beautiful form robed for burial
with smile wreathlng the sweet
lips, that the soul had fled and
nothing remained but the cold In
animate clay.
Dear little Ben. | thought us l
looked at the lovely curly hair
that an angel must have passed
over HIM as he lay in the last
dreaTless sleep and crowned him
with a halo of hight from the
bright beyond. Darling little Ben
will never grow old; the beautiful
blue eyes never be dimned with
tears. Long will YOU be remeni
bered.
Dear little Ben, can 1t he you are gone,
When only week has sped
Since You with your .choolmatcs we've
rompins so free.
Can il be You lie silent and dead?
Yes. lie is gone forever.
Like a gentle rcstiese wave,
And the parents aud brothers are so lonely
For the one they tried 20 save.
God thought i, best to take away
The one to them he gave,
But 1t left them broken hearted,
Weeping DER their darling's grave.
AS gazcd on the wa1cn Image.
And the beautiful curling hair,
1t seemed almost sin
To hide away one so fair.
The LITTLE lips were wreathed in smiles.
They almost seemed TO say,
The future has no fears for me
Why do you wish me to stay
The beautiful form Of their darling,
Must be covered by the sod,
But they know the soul SO pure and white
Has gone away to God.
While they know that peace IS with the
loved ono,
They will miss him every day;
Especially the dear Ii tile brothers,
While at work and while at play.
The sight of his clothes and playthinGs,
Wrings their hearts with pain,
The thought is almost maddening,
lie can never play again.
His loss to them is very great,
But to dear Ben is given.
Among bright and joyous throng,
A happy home in heaven.
And while he cannot come TO you,
His little snowy hand
Is Reckoning to you in this eorrowful world,
Upto that blissful land.
May God in his great pity.
Wipe away their tears,
BE staff to the parents,
In their declining years.
And to the little brothers left,
May he be the beacon OF youth.
Guiding them always onward
To life of honesty and truth.
