Good Advice From Bob Burdet,e.

This is by Bob Burdette, the we'll
known humorist: "My homeless friend
with the chromatic nose, when you are
stirring up the sugar in a ten-cent glass
of gin, let me give you a fact to wash
down with it. You may say you have
longed for years for the free independent
life Of the farmer, but you have never
been able to get enough money to buy a
farm. But there is where you are mis-
taken. For some years you have been
drinking good farm at the rate of one
hundred square feet at a guip. II you
doubt this statement, figure it out your
self. An acre of land contains 1850
feet. Estimating, for convenience, the
land at si3.58 per acre, you will see that
it brings the land just one mill per foot.
Now pour down the fiery dose and imagine
you are swallowing strawberry patch
Call in five of your friends and let them
help you gulp down that five hundred
foot garden. Get on prolonged spree
some day and see how long it will take
you to swallow pasture land to feed a
COW. Put down that glass of gin; there
is dirt in it-three hundred feet of good
rich dir. worth s4356 per acre"

Finger Pulled From Hand by . Ring.

Special from Buena Vista in Mondays
Denver Republican,: "John Murray, en-
gIneer of engine No. 81, of the Colorado
& Southern, met with painful accident
Sunday morning. He attempted to jump
from his cab to assist his fireman, who
was working under the locomotive, when
a ring on his left hand in some manner
caught on the guard rail, and as he
jumped his finger was severed from his
hand at the second joint. The local
railroad physician dressed the wound
and Murray was taken to Denver on the
evening train. 1t will be necessary to
amputate the stump of the finger"
The injured man is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Murray, living west of Elbert,
and is quite well known here.

Beware Of dr.Ia Spectators.

The Globe says that many people in
Golden and presumably in other places
have received circulars during the
months since August from grain specu-
lators in Chicago, st. Louis and else
where, urging them to buy December
corn, and presenting alluring prospects
of making big money. The idea was to
buy on margins of two or three cents.
One hundred dollars would thus secure
5000 bushels of corn, and it was asserted
by these tempters that corn could not
go down, but would almost double in
value in December. Now comes the
news this week, December corn has fallen
off IL cents bushel from the action of
the bears. We hope that no one here
bit at the alluring bait, for it meant a
loss OF every dollar invested. Hundreds
of men are ruined every year by this
kind of gambling. No wise man will
touch the scheme, unless he cares not
whether he loses or gains.

To Stop Dead Beats.

The Golden Transcript prints the fol
lowing communication from one of its
readers, who signs himself "Sufferer."
1t is good idea:
Business men OF Golden should peti-
ton Senator West and Rep. Church to
support the bill introduced to provide for
exemption from garnishment for debt to
fifty per cent, OF the earnings Of any
person, instead OF sixty dollars per month
a the law now stands. Under the pres
eat system many wage-earners do not
care to earn over sixty dollars per month
as that amount is exempt from execution
and stand off their creditors for all
they can get trusted for. There should
also be law passed to punish criminally
any person purchasing goods on credit

Monday was the most disagreeable day
this section has experienced in long
time. The wind blew perfect gale
from the southwest, sweeping everything
loose before it, and it was almost impos-
sible to travel facing it. The gale kept
up until about 8 o'clock in the afternoon
when it commenced showing, and Tues
day morning the snow was six inches
deep-the heaviest of the season. 1t is
feared there will be much suffering
among stock. as feed is very scarce.
