To Colorado-in inexpensiveiy.

Don't make the mistake OF asSuu-
ing that It costs mint of money"
to spend your vacation IN Colorado.
1t doesn't. In no other part OF the
United States that is, in no other
part where summer visitors go
Will your money go so far or buy
so much.
For g. 8 or $40 week you can Get
good board and lodging at Colorado
Springs, Nanitou or Denver. Most
of the people who go to Colorado
spend not to exceed Sl2 GO a week.
That includes every rything-living
amusements and side trips. In
stead of putting up at expensive
hotels, they stay at comfortab BILE
boarding houses, at "lodges" or IN
camps.
The cost of reaching Colorado has
been materially reduced. Round
trip tickets are now on sale for $50
from Chicago; $25 from St. Louis;
$17.5O from Omaha, St. Joseph and
Kansas City. Tourist sleeping cars
are attached to Rock Island trains
for Colorado. The birth rate from
Chicago is only $3.50. But tickets
are good in standard sleepers on
limited trains, if you prefer to trav-
Ell that way.
Thousands of people are already
in Colorado. Hundreds are on the
way. Thousands more are going
in the next two or three weeks.
If your ticket reads via the Rock
Island System you can depend
upon having quick and comfort
able journey in both directions.
Information as to rates, etc, will
be furnished by any Rock Island
ticket agent or by addressing

The Mystic Wire.

Here's good telephone story from
the Outlook of cook-a fresh i'm
portation who had never seen nor
heard of the instrument before &C
cepting an engagement in a suburban
New York household. The whole
thing impressed her as uncanny and
for weeks she stood in awe of the ap-
paratus, always putting on a clean
apron before answering call to an
interview with some lady or gentle
man at the other end of the mystic
wire. One day she electrified dozen
guests at dinner by appearing at the
door of the dining room and asking
distractedly of her mistress: '1s
this McGinnis' grocery store?" ''Why
of course not" responded the amazed
hostess; what do you mean?"
'sWell, shure, they asked me over the
tillyphone this minnit, ma'am!"

Reticent as Rossiter was in regard
to his own affairs (and he felt that
he had good cause to beg, it was very
pleasant to have this young man, to
whom he had been an utter stranger
until that morning, talk to him in
this confding strain. 1t made him
have new and surprising sense of
half-confidence in himself.
AS they were silent for moment,
they became conscious that vehicle

glanced back, and saw not far dis

rate, a pair of large sorrels attached
to light surrey. They retreated
farther into the grass at the road
edge to avoid the dust from the pass
ing carriage, and, glancing up as it
swept by, observed that it contained
a driver and two young ladies. The
one who sat upon the side nearest
them let her eyes rest upon them
for an instant, then she, her compan-
ion, and, indeed, the whole convey
ance, were lost in whirl of dust.
Rossiter watched the travelling cloud
until the horses and the surrey
emerged from it at the Merton's gate.

Texas Finds a Remedy.

that caused by the introduction recently of
a new remedy for kidney diseases. This

have been wonderful.
Henry Vaughan, of Rural Route No. 3,
Fate, says of it:

IS months. l was very bad and could get
remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills. I began to
use these pills, and very soon found myself
improving. kept on and now can say am

Chinese Newspaper In the Philip
pines Describes an Ingenious
American Contrivance.

Admiral Dewey was prominent figure at
the Saratoga races. Unusually he occupied q
box. One afternoon a little party of farmers
came up to shake hands with him, and there
after, naturally, the talk turned to agricul-
ture, says the Boston Post.
When / was in the Philippines" said Adj
miral Dewey, AN American resident brought
me, one day, a Chinese paper. He said this
paper would interest me because it con-
tanned an account of an American invention.
Then, with smile, he translated q para
graph that ran something like this:
= The ingenuity of the Yankee is typifed
well in a hens nest that he has recently in
vented and patented. This nest increases
the laying capacity of the hens to an UNI
limited degree. In the bottom of it there is
trap door, governed by delicate spring.
The hen lays an egg, the weight of which
causes the trap door to open, whereupon the
egg drops down into subterranean com-
partment, and the door closes very swiftly
and silently again. The hen gets up, turns
to look at the egg, but sees none there. So
she decides that she must be mistaken in
thinking she had laid. and she sits down
again and deposits another egg, which, like
its predecessor, disappears. The process
continues indefinitely.

An amusing story is told of New

in behalf of a certain charity in
which he is greatly interested. He
has a fine voice and graphic way
of telling incidents both humorous
and pathetic, so that his hearers are
often moved to laughter or tears"
At the close of one meeting, at
which he had spoken with great eff
feet, and a large gain for the char
ity had been the direct result, lit

WAYS OF LONG AGO.

Last night I dreamed I was awake;
Then, waking up, I dreamed.
NY mind just went without a break
To where the waters cleaned
: And dimpied down beside the road.
1 saw the willows trail
Along the stream, just like I knowed.
1 saw the teeter-tail.
And heard the blueiay CALL and call.
And saw the eddies swing
In curves below the waterfall,
An heard the robins sing.
And was just boy, and walked
The ways o. long ago.
The catbird came again and Knocked
Just like used to know.
And In the orchard loaded down
The heavy branches swung,
And in its coast of sober brown
The thrush its mathis sung.
And breezes moved the ripening grain
In pillows to and fro,
And 1 was just boy again
In ways of long ago.
Oh. welcome dreams that take US back
To childhood's happy days!
Along some well-remembered track
In pleasant woodland ways!
Oh. welcome song of orioles
And thruslls mathis clear
That bring us back the orchard knobs
And days Of yesteryear,
Till we can hear the lullabies
And feel the rhythmic swing
That used to lull our tired eye
When mother used to sing.

1T was great relief to Rossiter
to stretch his cramped limbs. AS he
glanced about, he saw evidences of
thrift everywhere, in the neat yard,
in the trim sheds, in the overfowing
mows. and in the recently painted,
ramblingly spacious house. His vag-
abond experience had trained his
eye in these matters, and he could
usually read from the exteriors what
treatment he was likely to receive.
Here he knew that he should fare
wen. He was already glad that he
had decided to come.
Having seen the hop-wagon unload
ed and the team led away, by one of
the farm hands, and having watched
the women and girls disappear in
Mrs, Merton's wake, Rossiter whirled
about to find the male portion of his
companions gathering up their pos
sessions preparatory to following
Jack Parmelee. He had his own
small bundle in his hand, and having
joined the Becraft boys, who had
been assisting their mother and sis
ter, the three went forward together.
Mr.. Merton's >right-hand man led
them along the driveway to the rear
of the house, where he struck into
path which traversed small or
chard that was separated by a high
picket fence from o7e much more
extensive. AT the left-hand lower cor
ner of the lesser orchard, and within
a stones throw of the farmhouse,
was long, rather low one-storied

the door and revealing double row

The floor was scruplously clean;
there was mosquito-netting at all
of the windows; and there were three
lamps, with ref1ectors, for lighting
the room. Rossiter and the two Be-

PIPE AIDED CHRISTIANITY.
Story of Bishop Moorehouse and
How He Kept from Losing
His Temper.

One of Melbourne's historic build
dence of the Anglican prelate, is
about to be demolished and to give
place to more up-to-date structure.
In it's garden is the oldest gum tree
in Australia, declared by the late emil
nent botanist, Sir Ferdinand Won
Mueller, to date from the 10th CEN
tury.
Under this old tree was the favorite
seat and open-air study of DR.. Moore
house, now bishop of Manchester,
during the ten years that he occu-
pied the see of Melbourne, says the
London Chronicle.
A lady visitor having once sug-
gested that tobacco was of satanic
origin, Bishop Moorehouse replied:
Pardon me, madam, smoke, and
I am better Christian for doing so.
Do you read my letters in the pa
pers?"
The lady replied that she did, with
pleasure.
do you ever see anything discour-
aging or unlind in them?"
Certainly not 1 often remark
how well you keep your temper"
"Well, madam, the first drafts of
these letters contained the most cut
ting things 1 could think of. Then I
would go and sit on the butt of that
old gum tree, light my pipe and have
a quiet smoke. After that I would
GO to the house and strike out ev-
cry line that would give pain to
others, So you see smoking makes
me a better Christian"
