Denyur, September "A Republican
Loyeland entertained the largest crowd
of visitors at the corn roast to-day in
the history of the town. Two excur-
sion trains in addition to the regular
trains came in loaded TO the guards.

mate the size of the crowd which must
have been 5000 people all told. Corn
by the wagon loads was roasted and
sandwiches furnished to the hungry
multitude, who ate as though they en-
joyed their dinner. Coffee, apples and
watermelons completed the menu.
Fully 1000 people were served to a

The complaint filed against the City

came up fcr hearing September End
before Judge Carpenter in the District
Court. A demurrer. filed by the City
and County of Denver. was overruled,
and fifteen days were allowed the de-
PENDANTS to again demur to the COM
plant
The demurrer stated that the COM
plant did not state facts sufficient to
support he cause of action. The con-
tract which was given TO Maloney by
Clerk Aichele came under a provision
of the Legislature passed at the same
time with Article Xxx, for the trans
cribing of the old Arapahoe county
records. The contention OF the coun-
ty attorney was that the Legislature
had not the right to legislate locally
Judge Carpenter. however held that
the sovereignty Lt the people OF tho
state over the City and County of
Denver was not abdicated by the
adoption of the home rule amendpl ent
The opinion holds that the effect of
the amendment is not to give home
rule to the city and county to the ex-
clusion OF state legislation. AS a
county, it stands in no different rela-
tions to the state than any other coun-
~. and is subject to the control and
authority of the state to the same ex-
tent as they. The fact that Denver
was established by the constitution
and the other counties by legislative
enactment, tile court holds. makes alb
solutely no difference.

 Reasons for choosing the companion of an Idle hour, perhaps. Reasons for talk ing a helpmate and stay to walk through life with?
 The question is a mockery.
 What is going to happen to them both in the long, long vista of dull and trou- blesome and anxious days?
 Those days come to every married life. In many they by far predominate. What then? Will a trained eye and hand in hockey help to smooth the lines of care from ones forehead, or skill in waltz ing make illness easier to bear?
 Does one turn for help and strengthen and comfort to the one who can break other cycling records or sail boat?

In that gleaming sunshine and warmth it dances and makes merry; 1t fears neither sorrow nor care; 1t scoffs at any end to its joys. But then comes a change in the wedther-the sun goes in under black clouds. and the bitter blast of winter comes.
 The flowers droop blackened and dead with the breath of the frost, the storms of rain beat down the sheltering leaves, and what becomes of the poor cigale?
 Out in the darkness and the pitiless chill. and the nipping cold. draggled and torn and broken, its beauty washed out, and It's spirit dead
 It finds no shelter-no home for the evil days-for 1t scorned to make 1t when the sun was shining, and now 1t is too late.

Little Dorothy had just begun to go to Sunday school, and had been much inter- ested in the Story of the Creation, the Story of the Flood, etc., as her teacher had told them to the class, says the Woman's Home Companion.
 One day Dorothy was taken by her uncle to see the menageria When she came home she told her mother all about the strange animals she had seem. She enjoyed the parrots and the fnnny mons keys; she called the tigers "big pussies,~ but the huge. homely hippopotamus had evidently made most unfavorable Im@ pression on her youth mind. She de- scribed 1t to her mamma as well as she could-the huge. ugly beast, with itn great red mouth.
 Then she was silent for a few moments. thinking matters over in her small mind Dorothy usually had quite decided opin@ ions of her own.
 Suddenly she asked. Mamma. did God make everything2 Did he make all the animals?'
 "Yes, dear" replied her mother,
 Did He-did He make the--hippopota= mus, mamma?'
 Yes, dear
 Well, said Dorothy in tone of great decision giving her yellow curls a tosa. then I'm not going to Sunday school any more"
