repealed during the administration of

modelled after similar act which was
passed several years ago in the state
of Alabama and has been construed
and upheld by several decisions of the
Alabama courts. The workings of the
law in Alabama have been most salts

great change in removing from labor
controversies much bitterness and vic.
lence. 1t is predicted by the persons
who were sponsors for the bill that il
will be great step toward Industrial
peace in Colorado and rapidly lead to

Colorado's BIG Storm.

Denver, April 25.-The storm of Sun

many western and southern states, but
in no state was it as severe as it was

tic on street railroads and made the
roads in parts of the city so impossible
that the Humane Society was forced to
issue orders that horses be not used
until some of the moisture had seeped
away. Local telephone and telegraph
wires were tangled and broken by the
weight of heavy, clinging snow, and
electric communication in residences
and business houses was cut of.
The storm, which continued fiercely
all Easter day and night, made it diff

made the Easter bonnet droop its
proud plumage in disappointment
Throughout the state, great damage
was done by the storm. Railroad traf-
fic was delayed. Washouts were threat,
ened and serious landslides occurred
on the Rio Grande in the Royal Gorge
and at other points on other lines
Telephone communication was cut off
with Pueblo, Trinidad, Florence, Canon
City and Cripple Creek.

Twenty-six years ago Rose Harriet
Pastor was born in Augustovo, Suwalk.
Russia, child of the peasantry Tolstoi
and Gorky have told the world about. OF
this period of her life Miss Pastor says:

was London, where we lived in White

that Pastor is not the real name of the

Jacob Weisslender, and about q year
after their removal to London he was di-

New York City.-What queer pranks
Master Cupid plays at times! He draws
his bow and lets his arrows by, and 10,
and behold, all the world pauses to look
and to listen. Love is such an old, old
story, and Cupid has been so long en-
gagged in his magic archery, making two
souls content with but a single thought
and causing two hearts to beat as one:
that the ordinary, commonplace love af-
fair causes scarcely a ripple on the vast
sea OF life as it rolls on to the eternal
shores. But occasionally Cupid quite
uutdoes himself Apparently he becomes
impatient with simply performing the
expected, and twang, twang goes his
bow, and swish, swish go the fleeting ar
rows, and the unexpected has happened.
The rich, and the poor, the high and the
low. the gray hairs of winter and the
fresh bloom of summer are brought to-
gether in charming harmony, and at
ouch times the world likes to pause and
gaze on the romantic picture. 1t de-
lights to study the roseate hues, the
warmth and fullness of coloring, the
striking contrasts, the brilliant lights
that CLINT and flash through the picture
and then it likes to wonder in soberer
frame of mind if there will be any darker
shades which the years will paint into
the picture to destroy the first flush and
glory of Cupid's daring work.
Cupid knows that love has universal
language, and that it is potent to over
come every natural barrier. He knows
that love pauses not to reason why, but
that it dares to do, and even die, il need
be, in its assaults on the strongholds of
the human heart. He knows that there
are no race or class distinctions, nor So
cial conditions or barriers which love
cannot with apparent reckless ease
sweep aside. And because Sir Cupid
knows all this full WELL he dares to draw
his bow and send his dart cleaVing the
