He DOESN'T LIKE DENVER.
Why Gus PixIey, Comedian, Has
Grudqe Against 1t.

Gus Pixley, the comedian. has an
antipathy to Colorado, and has en-
tered suit for $4,000 damages
against the city of Denver. It came
about in this wa, according to the
S. Louis Republic:
Pixley sues the city of Denver for
DANCES because it treated him badly
when he had smallpox In fact, it
sent him to Ogden, where he was
made to shovel snow and saw wood,
two things an actor hates to do,
especially when he is suffering from
the smallpox.
It is a sad, sad story as Pixley tells
it.
Pizley was playing with the shoot
the-Chutes' company in Denver when
he became i'll and was informed that
he had the smallpox
Instead of arousing the sympathy
OF the Denverites this appeared to in
cite them to fiendish measures of re-
prisal against the actor who dared to
have smallpox in their beautiful and
healthful city.
Be that as it may, they fastened TO
throw Pixley into railroad car all by
himself. He was left alone for -
hours.
At Ogden he was placed in the pest
house, and, although he endeavored
to impress upon the minds of the
folk in charge of that Institution the
cruelty of setting to work man with
smallpox fever eating out his life
they made him attend to the removal
OF the snow from the pesthouse
grounds as Well as the preparation of
the fuel for the stove.
You're the only thing we've got in
this here pesthouse," complained the
man in charge, "and you amt no Og-
den man. You're just a plain, Plumb
Denver maverick, and you better
hustle, see?'
PlXley saw. He also sawed. In
three days he cut into proper lengths
and CHOPPED into kindling seven and a
half cords of wood when he should
have been in bed taking all sorts of
fancy medicines.
Then they sent him back to Denver
with an acrimonious note to the Dem
yer authorities, and the men at Den
yer sent him to the pesthouse at Sand
Creek, where he was kept three
months and forced to wear a mask.
This latter infiiction made Pixley
angry and he left the place soul
embittered actor.

The sturdiest women Of the worlo
are probably the women of Bolivia, -
said Louis B. Jenning recently, who,
with party of young men, recently
returned from a visit to that country
says the New York Tribune. 'sFhe
people of Bolivia are of necessity
mainly vegetarian in their diet, for
beef is scarce, and consequently yer>
expensive. In face, the beef to be had
there is not good, for the country is
mountainous and all of the cattle de-
yelop hard muscles. This is es-
pecially true of the sheep, which are
trained athletes The mutton has
the consistency of rubber, and is as
tough as leather. NOrtherners who
are in the habit of depending on meat
find no satisfaction in steaks, chops
and roasts in Bolivia. We Jared we'll
without meat after futile efforts TO
eat it. The only part Of the beef
which was at all possible was the
tenderlOin, and even that was not so
palatable as the fruits and vegetables.
Delicious fruits at low prices
abound in the markets of Bolivia.
The breakfast consists of fruit, and
plenty of it. We had bananas, prickly
pears, or tumas, which are the best
of the native fruits, and of which one
can buy ten for a cent; peaches,
grapes, luscious strawberries, fresh
figs, fragrant pineapples, alligator
pears, chirimoyas, pepinos and star
apples.

and large black seeds, and are in

ROYAL BABES FIRST TOOTH.
One OF the Perquisites of Spanish
Kings Nurse.

At present it cannot be said that the
young king is so popular as he might
be. Many Of his subjects are IL
fact that he is not a true Spaniard by
birth, but the son Of an Austrian
mother. Slowly but surely, however,
he is winning that popularity which a
king should have among his subjects.
He has at various times performed lit
tie acts which have appealed to the
people.
Perhaps one Of the most noteworthy
Of these acts and one which showed
the young king and his mother in
their true characters to the people,
took place some time ago in Madrid.
The king, accompanied by the queen
regent, was being driven to the sta
ton on his way to San Sebastian,
when the queen Wa seen to smile and
wave her hand to respectfully
dressed woman in the crowd. Her
son also caught sight of the woman
and, recognizing a former nurse OF
his, requested that the carriage might
be stopped in order that he could
speak to her. This was done, and
reckoning to the woman, who came
to the side of the carriage, his majesty
made few kind inquiries regarding
her health and welfare before pro-
ceeding on his way.
Needless to say, the little act of
graciousness was made much of by
the spectators, although many of
them were not aware Of the identity of
the nurse.
1t is to this nurse, by the way, that
Queen Christina owes a great debt Of
gratitude. For it was she who once
rescued the king from kiGnappers
when his majesty was but a few
months old. 1t appears that he was
left lying in his cradle for a few min
utes, and on returning the nurse was
Mortified to find that the child had
been stolen. She dashed out of the
palace into the street, and overlook a
couple Of men who were carrying what
looked like basket OF clothes. Hay
ing suspicion OF the basket, the
nurse pulled off the covering, and
there discovered the royal babe in q
half-smothered state.
One OF the prOUdest possessions of
this particular nurse is a gold ring,
in which is set a small pearllike
tooth surrounded with diamonds, and

MEN VICTIMS OF
THE CANDY HABIT.
One Chicagoan Eats 400 Pounds of
Chocolates Durinu Summer

One Chicagoan Eats 400 Pounds of
Chocolates During Summer
Chicago Tribune.-Ever since far
seeing dealers began putting candy
into artistic pasteboard boxes fringed
with ingenious designs of paper lace
and tied with gold or silver cord, the
title of candy fend''. has chung with
inseparable tenacity to the matinee
girl But in Chicago, at least, the
matinee girl is not the only one who
has pronounced and assertive sweet
tooth. There are others who have
the candy haoit with all of it's per-
nicious seductions, and strangely
enough those others are men. In point
Of numbers women who have the
candy habit dominate men similarly
afflicted, but in this respect only can
be said to occupy a position to the
forse. For when woman becomes a
candy fend ne develops into the worst
kind of f1end, resorts to lavish ex-
penditures and injects candy eating
into his business as well as his social
diversions. Chicago has one man
alone who during a single summer
ate 400 pounds of chocolate creams, a
! record sufficiently startling to cause
even the most perfectly developed
matinee girl to blush for shame. This
man has made several attempts to
swear off, but as yet hasn't succeed
ed, and the enemy pursues him as re-
lentlessly today as when he first be-
came candy fend"
Another man suffers from what he
calls candy sprees, and according to
his own admission is as helpless
when the desire for candy strikes him
as the most helpless slave to liquor

RECIPE SIMPLE ENOUGH.
To Open a Cash Register Without a
Kew,

Key.
An enterprising young person living
in Chicago has been advertising that
'for the small sum of 81" he would
inform any seeker after knowledge
how to open a cash register without
a key This information evidently
would be of use to people who had
lost their keys and to burglars. The
postoffice department has suppressed
him.
The man who advertised sent a
neatly printed circular to all who re-
mitted the necessary 90. He said his
system requires an axe-one weigh
ing about ten pounds. TIE circular
instructs the pupil to take a position
before the register, advance the left
foot, stand firmly, Swing the axe
with both hands around the head
three times and smite the cash regis
ter with mite and MULTIPLICATION of
blows immateria1. Repeat until result
is obtained"

NO SPECIAL TERM OF COURT.
Newberry Bar Holds RICeting at which
Request for Special Term In with
drawn-Wil Likely be Asked For In
September.

Some time ago petition signed by
several members Of the Ncwbcrry bar
and asking for Il special term of the
civil court, was sent TO the Governor.
Acting on this petition, the chief Justice
issued an order granting Il special term
on April q, and naming Hon. w. II.
Stevenson, Speaker of the House of
Representative, rs special judge.
At u meeting OF the NewberrY bar,
held on Tuesday afternoon, it was de-
cided best to withdraw tho request
and resolution was unanimously ad-
opted requesting that the order grant
Ing the special term be annulcd. Sew
eral reasons were advanced in the full
and free discussion that preceded. .
Among these may be mentioned the
TACT that this would be Il very busy time
for the farmers, and then IL good many
people who were very much Interested
could not attend without much incon-
venience. In addition to tjls the
opinion was held by some tia, the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Stevenson. as Judge
was in violation Of that clan:c Of the
constitution which provides that the
three departments OF government shall
be forever separate and distinct. The
members had no objection to Mr..
Stevenson personally, but he is also u
member Of the legislature and speaker
OF the house, and as there are some
very important cases to como up for q
hearing, among others some very i'm
portant railroad cases, they were
afraid that some question as to the
legality OF the trial might afterwards
arise.
1t is likely that special term will
be asked for to be held some time in
September.
