TRAMP AND
TRAVELLER

The tramp and traveller have the
same disease, are afflicted with the
same mental degeneracy. Both have
managed to live in the material sense
without work, and are trying to en-
rich their barren lives without work.
They will never succeed. They may
steal or hire their way through the
commercial and physical world, but
there are some things that cannot be
stolen, nor can they be bought with
money. These are the things that
make man happy. They must be
worked for, however. The pauper and
the millionaire must work for them
alike if they ever receive them.
Human interest, human sympathy
the pleasures Of toll, acquaintance with
nature and obedience to her laws, rev.
erence for all created things, belief in
an overruling Providence and absolute
faith in the final triumph Of righteous
ness-these are the things worth striv-
ing for; these are the only things
worth having Without them happi-
ness is impossible. With them happi'
ness is inevitable. But all must work
to get them. The tramp cannot steal
or beg them, the traveller cannot buy
them or chase them down in fast
trains. He must work for them side
by side with the tramp.
The tramp and the travelerl How
much alike they arel The difference
seems to be only that one has taken a
bath, the other has not. The one wears
good clothes and the other does not.
One eats too much and the other too
little.-Medical Talk.

ANTOINE WO0DE WILL
join R0YCR0FTERS

Antoine Woode, who was paroled by
the Board of Pardons last Friday, was
given his liberty by Warden Cleghorn
yesterday after an incarceration of
twelve years, four months and twenty
eight days.
As Antoine Woode is splendid PEN
man and can do almost anything of
mechanical character he has been TAX
en- in charge by Elbert Hubbard, editor
of the Philistine, who will endeavor to
utilize his artistic instincts at his book
bindery in East Aurora, New York.
Antoine Woode's case is one of the
strangest in the annals of crime. In
1893, when only IL years of age, he left
his home one morning with a shotgu n
to hunt rabbits. He met Joseph Smith,
q business man Of Denver, and they
walked together. Smith happened to
show his fine, gold watch and the boy
coveted it. Slipping behind his victim
he shot him through the back. Taking
the watch the boy went tohis home and
hid it, but when the body was found he
was suspected of the crime and con-
fessed it.
1t was not legal to hang a child Of
that age, and there was no reformatory
at that time, while Of course it was
impossible to turn child with such
tendencies among the children at the
industrial school, SO the authorities
were puzzled what to do with him.
There appeared nothing to do but to
put him in the state prison. He was
sentenced for twenty-five years, and,
counting of time for good conduct, he
has served all Of the term but eighteen
months.

VERY CERTAINLY A
CASE QE GHOSTS,

One day Henri du Bois Of Paris, an
ornamental plasterer by trade, re-
ceived legal notice that he was heir to
a house and twenty acres of land In
the province of Vendee, on the west
coast of France.
The house was only one story high
and was divided into sitting rooEl, bed
room and kitchen. Doors and win
dows had long been removed, and the
floors had rotted away, but room and
walls were all right, and few days
work enabled the heir to move in. The
usual gossip about haunted houses was
not lacking in this case, and some of
the stories told would have made the
plasterer's hair curl had he not been
firm minded
Du Bols had been settled a month be
fore the ghosts came. He had busted
himself breaking up and carting away
the stones and hauling dirt in their
place so as to have ground for gar
den at least. One night he was awak-
ened by a curious sound coming from
the kitchen. He slept with both inside
doors open, and there was no cover of
any sort Oh the floors. The noise be
heard was that of soft footsteps. They
seemed to enter the kitchen door and
cross to a corner and return TO the door
again. He knew the outside door to be
locked, but he lighted a candle and got
up to see what the noises could mean.
They ceased as soon as he was out of
bed, and, naturally enough, the man
believed that he had been half dream
ing and he went back to bed and was
soon asleep again. The incident had no
weight with him next day; but, much
to his surprise. II was repeated on the
second night. He was awakened at the
same hour by the clock, and for ten
minutes he lay listening At the end Of
that time the footsteps ceased, and Du
Bois got up and struck a light, to find
everything as usual
The inside walls had been roughly
plastered when the house was built.
and here and there 1t had fallen or in
patches, and he determined to give the
walls close inspection and see II any
thing could be found. He meant to do
this next day, but found that he had to
60 to village for supplies and post
poned It. That night, at the same hour
again, the noises were renewed, and on
the third morning after breakfast
search was begun. The outside Of the
house was taken first and was gone
over foot by foot. Nothing was discov-
cred to solve the mystery.
When Du Bois came to search the In
terror OF the house he made a discovery
almost at once. The ghostly footsteps
had led from the outside kitchen door
to the northwest corner of the room, a
distance OF about nine feet. About a
third Of the plaster had fallen OF that
wall, and as the man inspected he soon
came upon a stone differing from the
others by being better dressed. 1t was
plastered In as firmly as any of the
others, but it seemed to have been set
In after the wall had been built.
1t took Du Bois an hour to loosen
and lift out the stone, but never was q
man more literally rewarded for an
hours work. The stone was the door
to . cavity a foot wide aud four feet
long and IN that cavity rsstsd trsas-

investing in building associations in
distant places, especially if they are
spending money to pay agents to travel
about and promise high rates of inter-
est. Some of these associations have
proved to be disastrous to those who
invested in them.
The above could not have been said
better if written especially for the
Fremont Building and Loan associa-
tion, of Canon City. There is certainly
no better or safer saving institution in
the state.

you have paid in, together with q fair

your money has earned, you must con-
tinue to pay until the shares mature
and are worth the one hundred dollars

Building associations are especially
helpful to man who wants to buy a
home with his savings. He can bor-
row most of the cost of home from
the association, pay the interest each
month, which will be much less than
rent, and at the end of ten or eleven
years his matured shares will pay his
debt, Many thousands of men with
small incomes have paid for their
homes in this way.

EHEN TIE CHE sTREAM!

This is a wicked world. Even the Gulf Stream has gone astray. Captain |Doxrud, of the Red Star steamship Kroonland, reported Monday a great divergence of the Gulf Stream from it's course. This confirms the report of Captain Ruser. of the Moltke, which arrived last Sunday. According to both captains, the warm Gulf Stream has made big shift, and is within 500 miles of the coast.
 Captain Doxrud believes that contin- ued aoutherly and southeasrcrly winds are the cause. While his ship was passing through the strsam the temper ature averaged 90 degrees. The excess sive humidity may also be attributed to the nearness of the stream to our shores. The current is particularly strong, and seriously retards rapid ships.
 If the Gulf Stream can't keep straight what hope is there for most of the tempted ones?

AN INTERESTING CnANoE.

Is the negro birth rate declining? According to the Census Bureau, the proportion of children for the white and colored races in the South before the civil war was substantially the same, but between 1880 and 1900 there was a decrease of 160 in the number of negro children in the South to 1000 ne- gro women and decrease of only 75 children to 1000 white women. In 1900 there were for the first time more white children than negro children in the South to each 1000 women. The proportion of white children to white women between the ages of 15 and 49 in 1900 was but three-fifths of what it was in 1880. Immigration is thought to af- feet the count and confuse the statis- tics. The South excels the rest of the country in the proportion of white children to white women. Inasmuch as white children are more carefully look ed after than the colored, it may be inferred that large proportion of them arrive at adult age. 'In 1S6O." says Census Bulletin No. 22, "the num- Der of children under years of age to 1000 women 15 to 49 years of age was 634; in 1900 it was only 474 In other words the proportion of children to po- tential mothers in 1900 was only three fourths as large as in 1860. One is thus led to the conclusion that there has been a persistent decline in the birth rate since 1S60."
