Denver Aug. 4.-Three cities Of the
United States are each claimed to be
the most beautiful in the land-namely,
Washington, Detroit and Denver. The
people who live in Denver are sure
their town holds the palm, and they
make the additional claim that it pos.
sesses the handsomest and most COM
Portable hotels in the country. Some
travellers incline to believe they are
right in this.
AS to the beauty Of Denver, likewise
its exceeding healthfulness, there is no
dispute. When one gets mile above
the sea, the heavy low levels of mala-
ria and smoke are far below. Man
alone is able to carry his disease and
wickedness up to the higher plane, and
even he, if his depravity has struck in
on him deeply, prefers the valley and
lowland to the mountain tableland.
The newer an American city is the
fences of living. Wide streets, pictur-
esque vistas, electric lights and trolley
lines belong to the west rather than to
the east in America Denver, the beau
tiful, has all these In the early time
many aspiring and highly cultivated
women came to Denver from all parts
of the land They came to better them
selves in the new gold country, and
they did so. From the first these were
public spirited and took lively interest
in all measures for the betterment of
the city.
When full suffrage was conferred on
Colorado women, of course their power
was increased, and they have used it
wisely. One lady, physician, was for
several years chairman of the building
committee of the board Of education.
So, then, Denver, peopled in the main
by class above the average in intelli-
gence, with women citizens going in
with enthusiasm for improving and
identifying their city, with one of the
richest gold producing districts of the
earth very near it, with the glorious air
from Gods Rocky mountains sweeping
through it-this Denver is as near a
paradise as any spot on which man has
laid his polluting finger.
Would you taste bliss? Rise here at
o'clock in the morning. Look out Of
your window and view Pixies peak
darkly outlined far away on the east

bicycle and go to meet the sun as he
