CoLoRADO'S SCENIC WONDER.
The Largest Balancing Rock in the
State lis Found in Platte
Canyon.

A new natural wonder has been dis
covered perched in the mountains
south of Pine Grove, in Platte can
yon. It was stumbled on by accident
last summer, and is the largest bal
anced rock known in the state.
A narrow trail runs through what is
still wilderness in the direction of
Lake Wellington. It was while stray
ing from this trail that the balanced
rock was discovered. Postmaster
Dake, at Pine Grove, told the railroad
trainmen about it, and H. G. Jones,
brakeman, member of the Colorado
Camera club, who since 1898 has been
taking photographs of scenery on the
line, made trip to the rock and Sc
cured prize picture of it.
Following the trail the rock is near.
~ three miles from Pine Grove and
a. miles from Denver. It stands 80
feet high, and rests on the slanting side
of base Of granite. It is poised so
slenderly that it looks as if shove
would send the great ball Of thou,
| sands of tons crashing into the can.
yon below. The circumference of the
point on which it rests is scarcely five
feet.
The view from the rock is almost un.
| surpassible. Lake wellington and
Giants Castle are plainly seen ten or
IS miles away. The rock is 1000 feet
above the railroad track. It's existence
was not known even by the pioneer
| residents of the canyon.

George Baer HomeIy Man.

George F. Baer, the mine operator
who came in for so much unenviable
notoriety during the big coal strike,
has most curious face. Somehow
it looks like wedge and his straggly,
misfit-loOking beard reminds one Of
the late Ii Hung Chang. Slightly
above the medium height and weigh

phatically homely man.

A great American and an illustri-
Gus statesman passed away when
Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, breathed
his last. AS amember of Congress,
and as speaker of the house Of rep
resentatives during six trying years
of our country's history, he showed
himself to be a man of convictions
and great force of character. His
memorable rule that a member OF
congress who was present and not
voting, nevertheless should be
counted as present raised a storm OF
Indignation from the opposite party,
yet it was right and sound and has
since been accepted as such. By
refraining from voting, it was pos
sible prior to that for few members
to block legislation through lack OF
O qourrum, even though they were
actually present.
Mr.. Reed also occupies a unique
position among American statesmen
in this, that at the height of his
power he withdrew from
politics and devoted his attention to
business. Yet he always occupied
a prominent place in the hearts OF
of his countrymen, and his name
was frequently associated with the
presidency. Long live his memory
in the annals of the Nation.
