years he had become so feeble that it
devolved on Miss Treats to write his
letters to his daughter across the seas.
SIN this manner Capt. Kent through
his wife was kept aware Of the moves
ments of his early friend. After his
wife's death lie kept up the CORE
spondence with Miss Treats, which ul-
timately eliminated in his.asking her

Six Periods of Human Growth.

Children born between September
and February are, some authorities
state, not so tall as those born in til e
summer aud spring months, and the
growth of children is much more rap
id from March till August. The ex-
tremities grow rapidly up to the six
teenth year, then there is slow growth
until the thirtieth year. The legs
chiefly grow between the tenth and
seventeenth year. Comparing the
general result, it appears that there
are six periods of growth. The first
period extends up TO the sixth OF
eighth year. and is one of very rapid
growth; the second period, from elev.
en- to fourteen years, growth is slow
the third period from sixteen to sew.

The cattlemen of the Lone Cone
country are congratulating themselves
non the killing of the big silver tip
bear last week. He had killed and de-
voured numerous calves and colts In
recent years, and though often seen,
no one had before been able to Kill
or cripple him. Old bear hunters who
viewed the carcass say II was the
largest they had ever seen. Thefe
were nine men in the party and it re-
quired their combined efforts to lift
the carcass clear of the ground. from
which they estimate mis- weight at
200 pounds The lucky shot refused
$50 for the pelt and has sent 1t out
to be mounted. Some years ago on a
round up of wild range horses buncn
was run into small pond or swamp
and one animal swamped in the mud.
The cowboys attached ropes but were
unable to extricate the mired animal,
which soon smothered in the mud and
was left. Riding by day or two lat
err it was noticed that the carcass OF
the horse was missing. Investigating
around the edges of the mire hole a
trail was seen where the body had
been dragged from the mud. Follow
ing the trail up short distance a
big silver tip bear was discovered
feasting upon the horse. The indica-
tions are that ii was the same bear
which was killed last week. He had
frequently been caught in the act of
devouring calves, young cattle and

The Telegraph newspaper plant
is being packed preparatory to
shipment to Telluride, the same
having been purchased by Chas.
F. Painter of the Journal From
the start The Herald insisted
there was no room in Durango for
three daily papers, pointing out
the fact that Pueblo. Colorado
Springs. Albuquerque and other
cities with three to ten times our
population refused to support
three dailies, and that 1t would
only be matter of time when one
OF the Durango publications would
have to drop out, and our predic-
tions have been verified. but not
without the parting Of many
thousands of dollars by our citi-
zens in trying to keep the sheet
going, and all to no purpose.
There was only one agency re-
sponsible for the starting Of the
Telegraph. ID. F. Day and his Du-
range Democrat. A good many
felt called upon to contribute to
sneet in opposition to Day per
sonally and politically for the rea'
son that Day took 1t upon himself
to dictate to every one how they
should conduct their business. and
those refusing to he so guided
were daily harpooned. The mis-
take made was in throwing money
away on third publication. The
better way would have been to
have simply withdrawn patronage
from the Democrat and left Day
severely alone He would then
have dropped ont of sight. as,
without being opposed, the few
readers would have become tired
Of his daily vaporings and ceased
patronizing him in any shape. But
in backing the Telegraph fuel was
added to the flames, and instead
of injurine the Democrat the Tel
egraph aided in restoring its
business. But let us trust
that hereafter there win be no
cause for third sheet. Some
weeks ago Day asked to let by
cones be by-gones and to work
for II greater Durango, and If he
will devote his energies towards
running paper as a newspaper
instead OF personal organ, and
aid in upbuilding Durango, the
past Will be forgotten. SO far as
the general public Is concerned,
although no newspaper can expect
the support Of individuals and
firms that have been wilfully ma
ligned through spite. The Herald
is daily adding to its subscription
list and advertisers can reach
large majority of the people OF
this southwest section either
through the daily or semi-weekly
publications. and at all times The
Herald will be devoted to Du-
range and adjoining territory, and
the better the patronage the bet
ter paper will be published.
