 The stores are like those of summer resort. Souvenirs are sold in every block, There are windows full of wood cary inss photographs and paintings.

The silk stores. iewelry stores and watch estab- lishments are especially fine, and every thing Is arranged to attract the tourist s eye.
 A Look at St. Gall.
 Have vou ever heard of St. Gall? It has only a little more than 3O,OO people, but 1t chews up American cotton by the hundreds of bales. It is one of the chler towns of industrial Switzerland, situated in the eastern part of the country more than 2.OOO feet above sea level. It Is there that the famous Swiss embroideries have been made for the past 100 years. At first they were all made by hand, and what seems strange to me is that the most ex- uuisite of them were made by men. At present they are made by machinery, the hand industry having been almost crowd ed out of existence. Some of the latest machines have 326 needles and each needle will make 1O,JOO double stitches in day. so that one machine makes more than

 If that is so," said l you seem to be doing a large losing business. If you i'm port S22O. 900 900 a year and only sell $780, O00,OOO your country must be falling away behind every year. It is not so?''
 Yes" replied MT. Georg.
 And this has been going on for years said I. According to the statistics Switzerland ought to be bankrupt"
 Yes" replied the Swiss. it ought to be if figures tell the truth. but they do not always tell all the truth. According to them our aggregate deficiencies within ten years have been something like $5O0,- 0OO, ,OO0 and nevertheless Switzerland was never richer than it is today. The req son is that we have sources of income that do not appear in the statistics. Our peo- pie have investments in other countries which bring in a great deal of money. They are noted for their business ability and are not afraid of large undertakings Another source is the tourists, who drop into our laps $3O, 900 every year. There are other items. but these two will more than make up the apparent deficit
 Swiss Industries Which Pay.
 The Swiss have many industries pecu- liar to the country, which are more or less related to America. American tourists spend millions here every Ssdi' H"t "iiiS in hotel and travelling expenses, but also in purchases. Not long ago Geneva mil liner in speaking of her business, said:
 God bless the Americans! It seems that they are really sent from Heaven to keep up our business.
 Many of our tourists buy watches here to take back to the United States and not a few get pearls and furs. Geneva is a famous pearl market, and it deals largely in jewels and precious stones. It makes many pearl necklaces and sales of necklaces worth thousand dollars and

How the Pope Gets the News.

A New York priest. recently returned from Rome. tells how Pope Leo XIII. hears the news of the world every day without reading a news paper He reads journal published every day fin the vatican. or has his secretary read 1t to him. TAis journal consists of brief abstracts of everything interesting which the papers published in Germany, England France America and other lands have recorded. A large staff of secretaries, each one an adept linguist prepares the vaticans news sheet. One man translates and abstracts German ar ticles another works the French papers, and still another the English and American The resulting publication In Italian is intended not only for his holiness. but for all the hundreds of vatican attaches Such news as would not be of interest to vatican circles is overlooked into the resume.

NY LIFE IS LIKE

Richard Henry wilds.

My life is like the summer rose
 That opens to the morning sky, But, ere the shades of evening close,
 Is scatter'd on the ground--to die! Yet on the roses humble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed. As if she wept the waste to sec But none shall weep a tear for me! My life Is like the autumn leaf
 That trembles in the moons pale ray: Its. hold is frail-its date is brief,
 Restless-and soon to pass away! Yet. ere that leaf shall fall and fade The parent tree will mourn it's shade, The winds bewail the lealess tree But none shall breathe sigh for me! My life is like the prints which feet
 Have left on Tampa's desert strand; Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
 All trace will vanish from the sand: Yet, as if grieving to efface All vestige of the human race, On that lone shore loud moans the sea- But none, alas! shall mourn for mel

 am now through with my travels in Switzerland along the track of our com mercial invasion. The trail is fresh and 1t has been easily followed. I have visited all the large Swiss cities and find Amer ican goods everywhere sold; but there is no place where in both variety and quan- tity their sales might not be increased many fold. As 1t is now, our goods are making headway chiefly by their excel lency. They are the best of their kind and their exhibition makes sale. The trouble with many articles is that the Swiss do not see them. Their only !sncw-

In olden times every one of these stitches had to be sewed by hand, and you can see what an enormous saving the machinery made On other machines laces are stitched. and especially lace handkerchiefs, of which as many as 100000 dozen have been sent to the United States in one year.

Window Curtains of Crash.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-12-21

Curtains of this have interlettings of heavy cluny lace and many rows Of hemstltching. The contrast of the white lace and the dark linen Is quite striking and pretty. While this style of hanging is more frequently used In the bedroom curtains of linen for the dining room are good
 Crash, old-fashioned crash of the dish towel variety can also be used with splendid success as window curtaining. The coarser the mesh the better the ef- feet, and this Is very cheap in price, the fashion should be welcomed by young or economical housewives.

The Woman in White.

The women who wear white are not aware of the great liberties that they take with their personal appearance.
 In the evening white is becoming to both young and old but in the daytime the woman in white runs a great risk especially in the cold days when the gray shadow of winter is upon us.
 It is a mistake to wear white out of doors. There are two drawbacks to it.. It Is unbeeoming and it makes one look OVerdressed.
 Wear white indoors, by all means. Nothing is smarter, nothing is prettier But in the garish light of day-the fierce light that beats otherwhere than upon d throne-abstain from it.

Dover Del, Sept. 2-In accordance
with their decision not to support DR..

congress by the regular" Republi-
cans, the "Upion" republicans or
Addicks faction are holding state
convention in Dover today to agree
upon an opposing candidate. Senti-
ment among the party leaders appears
TO favor the nomination of William
NJ. Byrpe. now United States district
attorney for Delaware. Mr.. Byrne
until recently was regarded rs Il reg
ular" Republican, and was appointed
United States district attorney upon
the recommendation of Colonel Du-

won the favor of the Addicks faction
by advocating the election of two sen

be one Of them.

Fighting the Mosquito.

London, Sept. 2-The official report
on the British Central African Protec-
torate, which has just been published
by the foreign office, provides some
suggestive evidence as to the degree
in which the so o-called malariel fevers
may be expected to disappear as the
result of the most careful preventive
measures based on recent knowledge.
Systematic experimenting conducted
in certain sections of British Central
Africa lead to the conclusion that the
fevers have been rendered much less
prevalent where the mosquitoes have
been exterminated by pouring small
quantities of petroleum on the stag
nant waters of the locality.

JUST INDEPENDENT.

The Citizen wonders what is the
politics of The Tribune, since the
editor and the business manager are
Numerically opposite in their politi-
cal beliefs AS matter OF fact The
Tribune has never expressed itself pol
itically while under it's present owner
ship, leaving the matter to be fought
out between the Citizen and the little
weakly - But circumstances are
such this year that it is not unlikely
that The Tribune will take part in
the present campaign The various
nominating conventions will deter
mine this point And in case we en-
ter the fight, the paper will be in
dependent of any political prejudices
or past beliefs, but will lend its sup
port to such candidates as appear to
us to be best fitted for the respective
offices they seek.
The Tribune will not be democratic
nor will it be republican. 1t will be
independent in politics AS it has even
been on other matters.

A COWARDLY INSULT.

Editor Moore's defeat at the demo-
cratic primaries evidently affected his
head, for in his subsequent frotbings
and rawlings he has heaped base insult
upon the very men whose champion
he pretends to be.
The statement that Thomas Nc
Weigh, field superintendent tor the
United Oil company, lined up the
oil men at the primaries and voted
them, shows not only an utter dis
regard for truth, but it is a base in
suit to the intelligence and manhood
of the oil men, and one which they
will not soon forget.
And the same is true of the employees
of the Union mill, to which this dis
appointed would be leader hands the
same bunch. Would Mr.. Moore have
his readers infer that the mill men
and the oil men are mere wooden pegs
TO be placed wherever those in author
ity may elect Does he mean that
they are like dumb oxen to be driven
under the LASH
Mr.. Moore is an alleged friend of
the workingman-ye he has the un-
mitigated nerve TO insinuate that
those of Florence are without the or
dinary faculties with which the
lack the power of self will and deci-
sion, but cringe before a master who
outlines not only their daily duties in
connection with their employment,
but dictates as we'll their political
policies.
Moore must be at his wits end to
make such Il break az that.
Most of those men whom Mr..
Moore says were voted" by Mr.. Nc
Weigh and the ''bosses" at the Union
mill, are union men. Mr.. Moore is
also union man. so much SO that he
had to be forced by the Typographical
union into putting union foreman
in his print cellar.
How he loves the laboring men of
Florence.

More Oil Development.

mUIC Oll OCvCloPhlt.nls
A new company that is going to
thoroughly develop tract of oil lane
lying near the Florence field is The
Union Oil Mining and Development,
company. This company is composed
largely of Canon City people. Its
officers are. l.. F. Collins, president
l.. d. Westfall. vice president; j. H..
Frey, secretary and treasurer. The
company offices are at 5li Main street,
Canon City. The stock is divided
into 800, 600 shares in value of 81 90
each. One hundred thousand shares
of this stock have been set aside as
treasury stock and a part of it will
be sold for development purposes.
The comapny has 4S0 acres of land
in very excellent location. 1t is on
the line of the G c. q C. @. r. r.
four miles from Canon and about the
same distance from Florence. Some
of the Florence oil wells are not more
than three miles from this property.
The general character of the land is
the same AS the entire Florence dis
trict. Another thing upon which the
company bases some expectation is the
fact that their lands are directly on a
line between the oil springs on Oil
creek and the paying wells at Florence,
and but few miles from either
1t is a well known fact to local
people that the first oil in the state
was found on Oil creek, few miles
from Canon City, where the oil oozes
from the ground in the shape of oil
springs. For nearly forty years these
springs have been known and in the
early day, oil WAS gathered here and
hauled to Denver for sale
Later oil was discovered about Flor
ence and those wells have been as CON
tinuous and profitable as any in the
country. So it seems that the district
these people have selected is very
promising one, indeed.
There is one thing certain, every
dollar that is paid into the company
for development expenses will be spent
for the purpose intended. The men
who compose the company are not in
il for the profits from stock manipu-
lations.
They believe they have oil on this
ground and all the money they get
hold of will be spent in an honest
effort to find the oil. Their honesty
of purpose is unquestioned by people
who know them
Already several orders for stock
have been placed and AL effort will be
ihaue W iaise seNeIhi tHoushuu uoiidrs
more when active work will begin.
We hope they will succeed. 1t would
be great thing for Canon to have oil
struck in that section. 1t would open
up big section of oil country that
would be tributary to Canon City and
would be great benefit to the com
mercial interests of this place. We
hope they will strike oil. Canon City

MY SAINTED MOTHER.

Lay down the gentle form ard
smooth
The golden locks from her fair
brow,
Ard place upon the breast
The cold hands that are folded now;
Another feeting year has passed
The SHOWS are falling fast and deep
Mother thy work Is done at last,
And sweet will be thy silent sleep
I often dream of summer days,
When thou vert young and fair
And when thy tired feet trod the
ways
Where robin voices filled the air,
Wandered In sunny paths
Where they were wont to joyous
sing
And roses Redeemed and renewed
The welcome brightness OF the
spring.
The summer time will come again
With all It's wealth of bloom and
song,
When the sweet thrush with swell
Ing note,
Shall make his paean loud and long,
I know thou wilt wear a golden
crown;
All! here lies the wreath thou hast
worn.
Will other hands as fair as thine
Irvine the garlands thou hast
borne?
How can I say farewell to thee.
MY own, my guardian to the LAST
Oh, must those hours forever be
But broken memories of the past?
I did not hold thy dear hand In
mine,
I could not close those mild eyes,
Nor gaze upon that brow of thine
Where death In heavy shadow lies.
Farewell, mother, I'll not forget
The happy hours that used to be,
And for thy grave we will Irvine
A wreath of sweet flowers and ever
green.
Then In the paths we used to roam,
Where the daisies and roses lie,
I'll muse upon the ever past,
And fondly dream of those on high.
