LET THE DEAD REST.
Protest Against Digging Up Prehis
tOrie Anecdotes.

NOEhc Anecuotea
Baltimore American.
Some weeks ago the American saw Mt to
protest against the foisting OF ancient
Jokes upon the public by members Of con-
gress. Matters had reached such a point
that the p~re-Raphaelite pun and the an
tediluvian Anecdote were being given out
as stsictly fresh and original. Since our
protest in defense Of bygone humor and
the present generation, we are glad to
say that the congressman have either kept
silence or told newer jokes. Today, how
ever, we must again lift up the voice Of
protestation. The reason for this cry is

1t Is gratifying, in the midst Of all these
accusations of moral turpitude hurled at the

but the modern spirit of humanity Is not all
unworthy Of the Christianity Of the ages.

Canon people have reason to be
proud of the splendid dry goods stores
OF their city, which no COM
munity of similar size in the country
has any more commodions and CON-
plete and there is no reason why
shoppers should send TO Pueblo or
Denver or Chicago to make their
expensive purchases, when they can buy
as fine goods Mt home as can be had
in the places named, and the results.
in nine cases out Of ten. are far more
satisfactory. For instance. the Saw

curtains rs high AS twelve dollars u
pair. imported brocaded silk and satin
waists. made by the looms in Lyons

Towns largely engaged in the man

chinery are not attractive as places of
residence by reason of the smoke and
dust and dirt, which are incident
to industries of that character.

business enterprises within their
limits, men prefer to rear their
