Some husbands keep their affection

It's an i'll wind that blows nobody's

The way to make a woman sure you

her so.

somebody will tell her what it is about.
The girl who loves to be nice to little
children before she is married is the one
who spanks them hardest after.

girls when a man kisses them and acts
like he didn't think they were object
ing.
Some men are so tactful they can get
over loving woman and make her
think it is because they love her so
much.

IS A MODEL CITY.

Idaho Springs is now in every sense
a model city. We believe the number of
arrests made for drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct is less than in any other
city of its size in the state.
The city officials have for years prid-
ed themselves upon such a condition of
affairs and have always done their duty
in everything pertaining to the preser-
vation of order
People are too apt to form a wrong
impression of the city because it is
mining camp, but there is not more or
derby or well kept city any place East or
West of the Missouri river than Idaho
Springs. 1t is a rich city and all its
buildings are substantial and of a char
acter that counts. Eastern people who
have visited Idaho Springs and are sub
scribers to this paper will agree with ev-
cry word this editorial contains.

TEN YEARS FROM TODAY.
wrong

On the first page of this paper this
week is story in the nature of what car
be expected ten years from now. The
old pioneer will look back ten years and
note that the change in the past has beer
one that will pretty nearly justify the
plans suggested for the future decade.
Idaho Springs possesses remarkable
advantages. She has two resources
the summer resort and the mineral and
both of these are susceptible of wonder
full development The applications Of
cash and energy will make the city one
of the finest in the world and the district
one of the most productive in the world
1t was genuine life and energy, every
fellow working to help the other fellow,
that made Cripple Greek what she is.
The same factor will make Idaho Spr' 'gs
and the Idaho Springs district what it
should be.
The subject is handled in this man.
ner in Siftings simply to show the people
the possibilities. To get them talking
about the things that might happen and
will happen if the proper course is pur-
sued
1t is little reminder that will awak-
en- the people to the possibilities they
must shoulder. 1t will show what we
ought to be and give a chance to reach
this ideal. 1t is not impossible of attain
ment.
This world is good deal as we make
it. Our success is what we want it to
be and what we work for it to be. The
man who Sits down and SAYS be is satis-
fed with conditions as they are-the
man who believes that everything is the
best possible of attainment-the man
who has no ideal is the man who does not
help himself or the community in which
he resides.
The man who wins in this age is the
man who hustles, the man who has new
ideas, the man who has ideals and the
man who has ambition. Capital is ready
to stand behind such a man.
This is an age of progress. Every
thing moves forward. From the bung-
ling stage coach to the bicycle, railroad
train and the automobile is but the work
of less than a century All these forces
that are now being harnessed were with
us century ago but they were not en-
ploved. Franklin was the first to har-
ness the lightning, then came Watts and
a harness for the steam, then came Mar
conf with a harness for sound waves and
the good Lord only knows what will be
the next.
Perhaps thought will be recognized
as a force. Perhaps it will be discovered
wherein lies the secret of animation. All
these things will become plain when
some force unearths the secret and we
will wonder why it was that we did not
think of them. 1t is an age of wonders.
An age of thought, an age of action. 1t
is an age that it is worth something to
live in. An age that urges every man to
effort and stands ready to reward him
for his effort.
Let every man enter the field to work
and win, for work means win. There
are so many fields of usefulness that ev-
cry one has an opportunity.

lady who was visiting her. The old lady
was presented with panoramic view o.

head in sorrow remarked:
"Well, you have no reason to plair

This is the way with Siftings. 1t may
not always look well to the people but
there is no reason for complaint as long
as it is stout and healthy. Two years
ago the paper made its bow to the public
of Clear Greek county. 1t has probably
been cussed and discussed more than
any other paper in the county. 1t has
made warm friends and bitter enemies
1t has sometimes been good and some
times bad, but it was always the best
there was in the shop.

terment of the condition of Idaho Springs

1t is no respector of persons. The
man with million is no better, so far as
the paper is concerned, than the mar
with dollar or without dollar. 1t does
not measure right and wrong with the
rule of coin. 1t believes that the mar
with an honest heart who is toiling every
day to support himself or himself and
his family is more of a man than the
skinflnt who does not toll at all and who
wears nice clothes and claims to be a big
floater upon the sea of what is termed
society.
With,this issue the paper is just two
years old and enters upon another year
better equipped than ever to fight the
battles for a greater Idaho Springs and
to battle for the rights of the common
people.
