To Attract the Tourists.

The Denver Times in a recent issue
urges that the state Of Colorado could
make no better investment than to
begin the construction Of a system Of
state roads through the mountainous
regions of the state. 1t calls attention
to the fact that the tourist business
is becoming Of greater importance
each year as the number Of visitors
increases. Whatever encourages the
growth Of this business adds to the
material welfare of the citizens.
Thousands of dollars are expended
annually by the visitors who come,
and the benefits arising directly from
the advertising of Colorado's advan-
tages as place of residence are Of
great Importance. for of the thousands
of eastern people who visit the state
every year considerable percentage
remains to take up permanent rest
dence or influence others to do so.

carried out at Cripple Greek, Colo. A

length is to pc bored in order that the

To Aid Street Cleaning Department.

10 Ala street cleaning Department.
The street cleaning departments of
many towns and cities are annoyed
and their work is greatly increased by
the amount of dirt that is dropped
from carts hauling earth to and from
buildings. Superintendent Savage of
the street cleaning department of Kan
sas City, Mo-, has prepared an ordi-
nance that he hopes will do away with
this nuisance, says the Municipal
Journal and Engineer. Permits will
have to be obtained from the superin-
tendent of streets before any dirt can
be hauled Several drivers of dirt carts
have been arrested for spilling dirt on
the streets, but as yet no permanent
good has been accomplished The men
complained that their employers over
loaded the wagons and that they had
to submit or be discharged 1t is pro
posed to hold the contractors equally
responsible with the drivers. and this
can be done under the provisions of
the ordinance requiring a contractor to
take out a permit before hauling dirt.
The permit can be taken away from
him if he persists in violating the ordi-
nance

TO DESTROY DERELICTS.
Congress Expected to Provide for
Construction OF Vessel to Rid
Sea of Dangerous Crafts.

1t is more than likely that at the COM
Ing session Of congress an appropria-
ton will be made for the construction
of derelict destroyer for the bureau of
navigation Of the department of COM
merce and labor. A vessel of this sort
would not cost more than 100000, and
should be an enlarged model of the pres
ent ocean-going tug its mission being
the towing to shore of derelicts rather
than their demolition on the high seas.
About decade ago proposition to
have the several powers cooperate in
the construction of such vessel met
with decided repulse at the hands of
the European countries which were in
vited to enter into the scheme, the Unit
ed States being as good as told that the
large majority of the derelicts that were
| encountered on the Atlantic by liners
and merchants vessels were boats of
this country, and that it was the busi-
ness Of the United States to destroy
them and not to suggest that other ma
tions assist in the work.
Although this was in large measure
! true, the menace of such abandoned yes
sells was as great to other maritime ma
tions as to the United States, and this
country at that time thought that those
placed in jeopardy should take upon
their shoulders portion of the cost of
Kidding the seas of them. Nearly all Of
the abandoned vessels found in the lanes
of the Atlantic and along the coast of
the United States are lumber-laden
American schooners. The character of
their cargoes prevents their sinking,
and they float about the ocean con-
stant menace to commerce. AS an old
member OF the bureau of navigation
said: "They are the only craft permit
ted to sail the high seas without lights"
The United States has reached the con-
| clusion that the onus lies here, and fol-
lowing up this will probably provide
for the vessel to rid our coast of them.

HANDWRITING IS KEY TO SEX.
French Investigator Finds Marked
Variation Between the Two Styles
of ChirOgraphy.

Sex in handwriting is the study
which promises new fame to Alfred
Benet, the Frenchman, already distin-
guished as director of the Psyche
Physiological laboratory at the Sar-
bonne and psychologist of world
wide reputation.
To determine the extent to which
handwriting discloses the sex of the
writer, Prof. Benet has appealed for
data to the two most prominent
graphologists in France, Messrs.
Cremierex Jamin and Eloi.
He has collected samples of the
writing of all manner of individuals
servants, professional people, savants
and school girls-for comparison. The
result shows that the feminine gender
expresses itself in the following char
acteristics though these are not in
fallible:
A woman makes the "s," "r," and
"p" higher than the other small let
ters, and in general makes her letters
less compactly than man. She also
exhibits many other peculiarities in
forming letters.
Prof. Benet's investigation has sat
isfied him that sex Is SO clearly
demonstrated in handwriting as to be
discernible not only to an expert bur
| to a novice.

The Findlay "pugs" did not get a
chance to beat each other Friday
night. Governor Nash put on the
official mitts and knocked out the
whole bunch of sports in mighty
short order. The fight enthusiasts
did not go down and out without a
struggle, however, and even went so
far as to plan to abduct the assistant
states attorney sent there to stop the
mill, and to pull off the contest while
the official was a prisoner. This plan
went glimmering, and there was no
fight.

The daily papers gave large dis.
play lines recently announcing the
fact that President Roosevelt had
taken his children to the woods for
the purpose of gathering hickory
nuts. We fail to see anything re-
markable in the fact that man,
even President, should take his
children out for a little recreation.
He was merely doing what any father
should do if he loved his children,
and we see no peculiar reason why the
papers should make such a display OF
so simple and sensible an act.
