Grand Junction has to combat at all
times a luxuriant growth of weeds.
These come unbidden and continue to
stay, so long as there is inactivity i'll
the street cleaning department. There
is menace to health and comfort in
their presence and no annual spring
cleaning will suffice to obliterate
them. The thing then most obnoxious
should receive the attention of the
council, as there is nothing i'll conn
ection with the city, which so de-
tracts from its general appearance as
these unsightly weeds everywhere. In
a few days at least fifty thousand visi-
tors will come from all parts of the
country to Denver to attend the Chris
tian Endeavor convention. There will
be large number who will take the
trip around the broad and narrow
gauge of the Rio Grande. They will
naturally stop in this city. We could
hardly do a more praiseworthy thing
than to have the streets of the city
and the vacant lots in presentable
condition. The little things are what
impresses visitors. Something could
be done with little cost, il is GER
tainly worth the trial.

Denver cannot confess to a more
crying infamy than the existence of
the Macquereaux society. body of
pimp Frenchmen. who live off the
shame of young girls, lured from their
native country by some specious ex-
cuse, to be made to live a life of
shame. 1t is a confession of criminal
incompetency that the police of Den
yer are unable to stamp out this traffic
in the shame of young girls.

case was tried in court. the woman
testified to the mans brutal punish

of the manner in which the whipping
had been given her. The judgement
of the court was that the man should
be whipped IN his presence by the

productive uses for which the Creator
gave him his eyes and ears. his hands
and feet. BY instructing him in the
use of these natural implements of

learn that God made nothing for folly
or waste. He will come to feel that
work is worthy, cnnobling and profit

WHY MEN ARE BALD.
According 10 This Account, Frequent
Cutting Has Much to Do
with 1t.

The cause Of badness has al last
been found" said physician to a bar
Der. I'VE know why it is that men get
bald while women don't"
We'll, why is it," asked the other.
1T is because men wear their hair
short the physician answered, ac-
cording to the Baltimore Sun. The
proper length for the hair is the nat
ural length-a foot, two feet, or even
more. There is system of muscles
at the roots of the hair that need exer-
else, that need hard usage if they are
TO keep healthy. If hair is long its
muscles must work hard in order TO
hold il in place-for long hair is nat
urally heavier than short one-and
in order TO supply life along its length
Thus pleasantly and BEAUTIFULLY en-
gagged the muscles grow fat and hearty
and they keep the hair hearty.
But if the hair is cut short every
month the muscles that must look aft
er it have a slothful, idle existence.
They do not work; they get flaceid and
anaemie, they become worthless And
." consequence thc nan theS support
becomes worthless, dries, shriyels and
finally falls out.
"Hence the hair must be worn long
if badness is 10 be avoided"
The barber had listened with frown
of disapproval. Then he said:
THAT theory is all right, but why
doesn't it hold good in the matter Of
the beard? The beard is worn as short,
by most men, as it can be shaved. but
we never hear of anyone getting bald
on the checks or the chin"

runs away from its would-be eaptor,
UNMARRIED by the great leaps and i'm
petuous antics of the tarpon, which
invariably supply a strong element of
the unexpected. and until new sport
ing fish is found, think the tarpon in
the sea, as the salmon in fresh water,
can still claim 10 be the most exciting
quarry of the angler with the rod and
line. My best fight was with fish
that had foul-hooked in the middle of
the back. 1t towed my boat out 10 sea
and was on the hook just an hour and
a half, but got it into the boat at last.

Ia pom this is the chief cause for the
presence of the element Of uncertain
~, but there are many others. The
risk of the line breaking under the
great strain which must of necessity be
put upon ii is greater than in most
other forms of fishing. because not
only is it finer ia comparison with The
weight of the fish, hat the salt water
and the hot sun act iniuriously on the
best OF lines. Sharks. 400. are apt 10
rob You Of your prize in the very mo-
ment of victory. In the Boca Grande
Pass, eff Florida, they abound natur-
ally, and the capture of tarpon also
attracts them. They lie in wait for
the fish, and when il is nearly ex-
hausted will attack it, and one bite OF
large shark will cut the fish in two.
The presence OF large numbers of
sharks in time drive away the tar
pom, and places once frequented 10y
them in large numbers gradually be-
come deserted.
There is another attraction about
the tarpon which lies in the fact that
he shows himself. and shows himself
with no little violence. and fish that
jumps is always more exciting than
one that does not. There are few finer
sights in angling than the first mad
leaps of the tarpon; like bar Of bur
nished silver, whence he gets his name
OF Silver King. he filings himself high
into the air, and with vigorous shakes
OF his great head tries TO cast away
the restraining hook. which he too
often succeeds in doing.
When tarpon jumps you must hold
on TO him, and not lower the rod or
slack the line. as is the case in salmon
fishing. the reason being that unless
the strain on the line is kept up. the
hook will lose its hold. which. as a rule.
is not very secure one. Indeed, so
hard and 50 well protected by bony
layers is the tarpon's mouth that for
some time il was considered impene-
trable TO the hook, and IL was not un-

been invented that any success attend

had swallowed the bait well down. in
which case firm hold could be OBJ
tanned in softer portion of his anat-

But still-fishing for tarpon has TO a
great extent died out. / have never
practieed it myself, but from all ae-
counts it was not very celebrating
pastime, and il was always full of dis
appointments. The plan was TO moor
the boat in some likely spot and cast
the bait out some distance from YOU

line began to move, il was paid out,
