This morning the Sam Mosier
house, now occupied by the family
of Frank Phillips, had narrow
escape from destruction by fire.
DR.. Hamilton noticed smoke com
ing through the roof at an early
hour and telephoned the fact to
the Grande hotel. Clark Mosier
and Will Murrell responded imme-
diatel y and succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames before any consid-
cradle damage was done. Had
they been five or ten minutes later
the fire would have had a sufficient
headway to have resisted all efforts
at putting it out and the complete
destruction of the house would
have been inevitable. The fire
started from the kitchen fue, after
the morning fire had been kindled
in the cook stove.
That all the romance and tragedy
of every day life is not told in the
novels is we'll demonstrated by the
following: About sixty years ago
Felipe Cantu, now of Los Cerritos,
was stolen from his home at China
Nuevo Leone, Old Mexico, by
raiding party of indians. He was
taken to New Mexico and lived
several years with the indians till
finally ransomed by some fellow
mexicans. He was engaged in the
sheep business there for many
years and in the early seventies
came to Colorado and has resided
in Los Cerritos, Conejos county
ever since. Some time. ago Mr..
Cantu took up the task of trying
TO find the rest of his family in Old
Mexico and succeeded in locating
two of his sisters. Later he dis
covered that brother resided in
Realito, Texas. Arrangements
were made to have a grand family
reunion of those whom had been
separated for 62 years. Mr.. Cantu

Hatpin Headaches.

Several peculiar cases of head
aches among woman patients OF a
young West Philadelphia doctor
have been discovered by him to be
due to hatpins. I was baffled
for a long time" he says, by a
patient who was an inveterate
trolley rider, and l attributed the
malady to the strong wind
to which she subjected her
self during such rides. She per-
sisted in the riding. however, so l
set my wits to work, and when
she told me that once when her
hat had blown off and she had to
tie it on she had stopped the head
ache. suggested that next time
she should take her hat off and
hold it in her lap. This she did
and missed the headache again.
tried the same remedy on other
patients with the same result. II
clear that the pins which hold on
a large hat in a high wind tug al
the roots of the hair until head
ache is started. l find, too, upon
comparing notes, that am not
the original discoverer of this kind
of headache.

Japan on Peace.
Dies Noines Register.

Des Moines Register.
Having accomplished marvels in
the half century since Lieutenant
Perry opened a door to the outside
world; Japan may perhaps be par
doned for its exuberant forecasts
of the future. While Russia has
done virtually nothing but equip
and rush soldiers into Manchuria,
Japan has been continuing steadily
a policy of industrial development.
The failure of Russia TO partici-
pate in the St. Louis exposition i'll
any manner, whereas Japan made
not only an elaborate exhibition,
but applied for the space originally
allotted to its enemy, was signitic-
ant. More recently the visit OF a
party of Japanese engineering ex-
perts TO America and Europe to
study the railroad systems and pur-
chase railway supplies offers a COM
parison. AS one Of the party an
nounced in an interview: Wheth-
er Japan and Russia make peace
now or year later, and no matter
how the war ends, our emperor
who is the wisdom Of our nation,
has decreed that our industrial
development shall go on, and while
we are keeping immense armies IN
the field we have other armies OF
laborers, mechanics and engineers
who are building for our new
commerce. So far our best
engineers and best workmen have
not had to go ITO the bat
tle6eld. but they have not been
allowed to remain idle. The day
war was declared our emperor au-
thorized the beginning OF extensive
plans for the improvement OF our
railroad system and the opening OF
all parts of the empire to railroad
traffic. "
Iapan is convinced that the psy-
GEOLOGICAL moment has arrived and
is determined to take advantage OF
il. The commission now travelling
in America is authorized to pur-
chase railway supplies to the
amount of $50, 600, 900 the bulk OF
which, according to one member
will be secured i'll America and
England. The commission has
been very favorably impressed with
the great railroad systems OF this
country, having but one criticism
TO make: You seem to buYld your
locomotives to waste power.
CANT moguls, powerful hill-clim-
bers and racing locomotives are
not what Japan is in the market
for. II wants an engine with great
steaming and hauling capacity, one
which will conserve power. EN'
cept in few mountainous districts,
large engines are not needed.
With Americas supremacy II
the commerce Of the Orient there
is good reason to believe that thS
bulk of the supplies wanted b,
Japan will be purchased here. We
here is where the japanese optim
ism and exuberance comes in. II
perhaps FIVE years more Japan Wi
