Wished to ohlorotorm Dog

One small poodle dog in charge of
the butcher of the Oceanic liner So
noma is causing a lot of pilikia aboard
the vessel. A lady who is travelling as
q second class passenger is The owner
of the dog. Some of the passengers
jokingly have informed her that the
dog will be fumigated ard likely put
to death by the health authorities as
soon as the vessel reaches Sydney, and
as result, Purser Hodson has his
hands full in looking out for both lady
and dog. Yesterday, as the vessel was
entering the harbor, the lady went to
the purser and stared that she under
stood that the dog would be put to
death. AS this was the case she wished
to be permitted 10 do the iee1 herself
in a way that would be satisfactory to
her, if not to the dog. She wished Ihe
purser to send ashore for some chlor-
oform which she intended 70 use on the
dog, and the purser settled matters by
simply stating "I'll attend to it.,
madam"

Y1HERE shall we got Literally, the
" burning question, and echo an
- swers, to Colorado and Utah. In
|Sk3ktS a brief resume 1t is impossible to
- do more than briefly indicate a
few of the wonders Of this entrancingly
beautiful part of the country.
The scenes, incidents and adventures of
tourist travel in Colorado have furnished
writers with material for many Of the most
entertaining descriptive letters ever pub
lished in America. These letters found
their more eager and more numerous read
ers years ago, when there were no railroads
and when the journey by wagon, on horse
and on foot, over the mountain trail. or
through perilous passes, was fraught with
difficulties, dangers and wild adventures.
Then the Indian was to be found on every
pathway, ready to take the scalp of a white
mar II he we're in the humor to do so, while
hungry bears and ferocious mountain lions
lurked in the way. Such perils as these
added greatly to the charm Of the narrative
as 1t appeared in print, and made a hero of
the tourist, but made pleasure-seeking
somewhat Of a hardship. But such embar-
easements as these must have taken much
of the romance out Of the trip and marred
ones perception Of the grand and beautiful
In the glorious mountain scenery and de-
licious air Of Colorado.
With the new era OF railroads there is
a change that brings many new charms and
affords the tourist a more delightful journey
through the Rockies. With easy and rapid
transit along the valleys, or plunging wildly
through the canyons, or whirling around and
over the dizzy SUBMITS, the tourist Of today
may sit at the window Of his luxurious pal
ace car, charmed with wonder and admira-
ton as the grand panorama Of mountain
peaks roll by as IL upon a scroll, with here
and there a charming vista of glens, peaks
and valleys, with their sparkling waters,
their verdure and their fowers-an ever
changeful vision of all that is grotesque and
beautiful in this rugged confguration in the
face Of Mother Earth.
Assuming that the searcher after rest

amidst nature's richest treasures goes from
st. Louis to Denver, he will assuredly seek
out the Colorado parks. To fully under
stand the Colorado parks they must be
seen. No description can do them Justice,
and neither the skill of a Bierstandt nor a
Moran could picture their pure atmosphere
like the breath from Paradise-nor re-
produce their beauteous colors and forms.
The Great Parks Of Colorado.
The five great natural parks of Colorado
bear an important relation to the state in
all her diversified interests. They consti-
tute one Of her chief glories. They are
not, as many suppose, small areas of level
ground closely hemmed in by neighboring
hills, and beautiful with evergreens and
flowers, but they are vast territories of
country, large enough for a principality,
larger than two or three counties in many
states, and almost as large as some Of the
states themselves. They contain fields and
forests and great stretches Of arid plains,
where the herds OF the cattlemen have sue
ceeded the herds Of buffalo; they are
watered by creeks and rivers and contain
villages and farm houses; they have springs
and lakes, where hotels and other places

under those English skies and wide spread
ing trees, was in love. In her haunting
eyes he read the answer to his llfe's de-
sires. When he proposed she said yes.
On bringing the bride to New York there
was a change in the quiet atmosphere of
the Clark household. Boxes were bought
at the opera and there were musicales and
grand parties and sociability and enter
tainment became a feature Of daily life.
In America 1t was called a marriage of a
thousand-a singularly happy one-and
four sons brought life and Joy into the
Clark family.
Edward Clark had bought a fine estate
on Otsego lake, where he built a great
house which he called Fernleigh hall and
which was one of the best country man
sions in America. He also had bought the
old Fenimore Cooper homestead, where
"Deerslayer," THE Pathfinder The Last
of the Mohicans'' and other famous In
dian romances by Cooper were written.
And it was to this ideal American home,
surrounded by the ~lovellest of American
scenery, that Alfred Corning Clark took
his English bride to spend the summer
months. She was even more fascinated by
the charm of the region and has always
made it her summer residence. Since the
death of her husband she has still further
improved 1t, made parks, erected monu-
ments, established a large observatory,
commanding the lake and the surrounding
country for miles. and set apart a fund
for keeping 1t in repair. When she finds
worthy men out of work she puts them on
a living salary and gives them employ
ment.
When Alfred Corning Clark's father died
his fortune was estimated at from $35 .OOO.-
900 to $40.0 900 900, but today, through Mr..
Bourne's sagacious management, 1t is said
to reach at least $50. 900, 900.
Mrs. Clark's four sons are all million
aires and among the richest young men in
the country.
AS an example of Mr.. Alfred Corning
Clark's generosity this story is told: A
teacher and tenor singer, Mr.. Severini. who
had come from Europe to find an opening
in his profession, SO completely won Mr..
Clark's heart that the millionaire became
his lifelong friend, and he not only gave
him an income for life, but gave him two
houses to live In free of rent, with servants
and all appointments thrown in. He was
his frequent visitor. often spending whole
evenings taking part in the music and
singing. When Mr.. Severini died. about
twelve years ago, Mr.. Clark personally
took his body to Europe and superintended
Its interment in his native town, paying
all expenses.

his services In winning the suits against the
Howe company increased his interests until
they nearly equaled Mr.. Singers.
Among Mr.. Clark's sons was Alfred Cor
ming Clark, a thoughtful, studious young
man, fond Of music, literature and art,
which in those days did not count for much
with business men. His brothers cared more
for the world and went abroad to see life
and enjoy themselves, but they soon died.
In 1860 Edward Lorraine Clark died in
Rome Of Roman fever. His distinguished
father died in the following year and his
brother Ambrose died later, leaving Alfred
Corning Clark sole heir to a vast estate.
Mr.. Singer had also died at Torquay,
England, leaving several families to con-
test for his millions and leaving the Clarks
masters of the business. Alfred Corning
Clark was a most lovable young man of
manners and noble courtesy. His thoughts
being on books and art, and finding him
self at the head of a colossal enterprise,
he looked around for a manager.
Strange as 1t may seem, his fancy fell
on a clerk in the Mercantile library, whom
he had known at the library in his literary
researches.
Thus 1t was that Mr.. Frederick Gilbert
Bourne, a clerk in the library, receiving, it
is said. less than $1,000 a year, was en-
gagged by Mr.. Clark as his confidential
agent. Although devoted to intellectual
pursuits, young Clark had the sagacity of
his father, and. as a stepping stone to
higher things, offered the library clerk a
salary to look after the estate. Mr.. Bourne
accepted.
Mr.. Clark had been greatly impressed
with the young mans industry and unfail-
ing courtesy at the library. He noted that
he attended strictly to business. Mr.. Clark
was a close student Of men, as we'll as Of
books, and from the first he had taken a
strong liking to the young man.
His judgment was INDICATED. Mr.. Bourne
soon displayed extraordinary capacity for
business. His financial management was a
success, and under his advice Mr.. Clark's
real estate transactions proved immensely
profitable. But the young man was equally
valuable as an adviser in the management
Of the sewing machine business, and was
finally made president, to succeed Mr..
Clark.
That gentleman, now relieved from bust
ness cares, with millions at his command,
again found himself a free man, with leisure
for music and books. Music was his great
est passion. His fine mind and lofty i'm
aginative nature could now take wings and
soar to the skies.
He made frequent trips to Europe, visit
ing places Of renown, noted galleries and
famous churches. His ~favorite haunts were
among the cathedrals and ancient castles
OF England. 1t was while on one Of
these trips through the country, visiting
friends at one Of the old country seats. that
he met the most charming woman he had
ever seen.
She was a typical English girl. gifted, a
clergyman's daughter, Of wondrous fascina-
tion and presence. In addition to her ex-
quisite charm she had a fine intellectual
head. with eyes of transixing loneliness
and a manner sincere. simple. enchanting.

E44NkAM one of the many founded with a
- little steel shuttle that genius set
flying under Elias Howe's eye-pointed
needle, placing the Yankee sewing machines
among the worlds last wonders.
To begin at the beginning-with the story
of Edward Clark, the founder of the Clark
millions and the father of Alfred Corning
Clark, Mrs. Clark's late husband. He was
a promising young attorney in Hudson, near
~Poughkeepsie, relates the New York Herald,
and had the good fortune to marry the
daughter of Ambrose L. Jordon, a distin-
guished lawyer Of the place. Having ideas
beyond the limitations of a Hudson river
village, young Clark went to New York to
practice law. He took up his residence in
East Fourteenth street, then a fashionable
part of the city.
Among his n~eighbors were Rufus Choate,
Hamilton Fish, Mr.. Gunther, who became
mayor, and many other distinguished New
Workers of that period, famous for great
events-the completion Of the Croton aque-
duct, street cars to Central park, the Crys-
tai palace and peace following the Mexican
wal.
Mr.. Clark displayed ability as a lawyer
and won important cases. Among his clients
was a struggling young machinist, one Isaac
ShAoSAt 81 AANA5oNiOh a lilo L1OMCg
jr., the sewing machine inventor, particu-
larly Of the needle with its eye at the point.
- Mr.. Singer, born in 1911 In oswego, N. Y,
with a taste for machinery, had ventured
as far west as the village Of Chicago. There
he invented a patent drill and a machine to
carve type. He was poor and life was a
struggle. Hearing of Elias Howe's sewing
machine, he came east, saw him and sug-
gested Improvements. The result was the in
vention Of a Singer single thread lock stitch
machine; next, the double shuttle, the
Singer stitch and a sort Of working alliance
with Howe, and, later, litigation.
The Howe company sued Singer, alleging
infringements on their patent, and Mr..
Clark, a young lawyer, was retained to de-
fend the suit. He was not only successful,
but made important business suggestions.
He was so impressed with Mr.. Singers abil-
ity and the prospective value of his inven-
tion, and particularly with his business sa-
gacity, that he advanced him money to build
a factory In New York and then became a
partner in the business.
That was the beginning of many fortunes.
AS the Howe company grew in wealth their
suits against Mr.. Singer multiplied, Mr..
Clark defending them. Instead Of receiving
cash for his legal services he took stock,
and soon became a power in the rapidly
growing concern.
Business expanded to enormous proper
lions under Mr.. Clark's wise management
and he finally became president of the cor
poration.
Mr.. Singer soon began to amass wealth.
He gave his wife $40 a day for household
expenses, moved from Fourth avenue to II
Fifth avenue. kept six carriages and ten
horses and lived in luxury. Finally he went
abroad, leaving Mr.. Clark at the head of
the business.
Mr.. Clark's foresight in taking stock for

for tourists, hunters, campers and others
seeking remote places OF resort In the heart
Of the Rocky mountains. These prominent
sections are North Park, Middle Park, Estes
Park, South Park and San Luis Park.
The parks, in their general features, form
irregular plateaus or basins, their surface
diversified with gently rolling hills and
long, level bottoms. The valleys are
clothed with luxuriant grasses and towering
plants and the hills are covered with heavy
timber, so that the natural beauties Of hill
and valley, forest and plain, are combined.
Possessing all these advantages, the parks
will become commemorative to the farmer,
the herdsman and the hunter, while the
clear, cool, bracing and refreshing atmos-
phere is exhilirating and invigorating.
These parks have many attractions that in
