COLONIES IN SOUTH.

While John W. Gates was down to
Florida a few weeks ago he met a
great many people. and it seemed as
though every native had a military
title such as Major" Captain" or
Colonel" One morning Mr.. Gates
said to a Southern gentleman: Say,
Mr.. Hillson, that gentlemanrou intro
duced me to last night looked pretty
young for a colonel. don't you think ?"

kind of young Was he in the Civil
War;" inquired Mr.. Gates. No, I
don't think So In the Spanish
warp No. We'll. how does he get
the title of colonel then?" "Oh. he's
a colonel by marriage. You see. he
married Colonel Anderson's widow, so
he's a colonel himself now. major. -

week everybody in the congregation
knew about the bet and how and when
1t was to be decided. and most of the
men and some Of the women had put
up little money or something on 1t
themselves. Nor did the interest re-
main wholly within the congregation.
1t spread until the whole town was as
interested in the problem as if it were
the Lady or the Tiger.
Afterward no one could learn
whether Mr.. Quiverful had heard Of
1t or not. Certainly no one acknowl-
edged telling him, and when he en-
tered to face his people the next Sum-
day morning he showed every evidence
of surprise at seeing the church
crowded to the doors and almost all
the standing room gone-that had
never happened before in the history
Of the society.
Not only was the church crowded,
but the congregation was the most
quiet and orderly ever known. Not
even the rustling of hymn book leaves
could be heard when the opening song
of the service was given out-the peo-
pie were afraid the bets might be de-
cided before they heard it.
The same breathless silence fol-
lowed the preliminary exercises, and
when Rev. DIR. Quiverful bowed his
head for the weekly prayer and
thanksgiving the hush was almost
painful. Yet, profound as it was, 1t
actually deepened as he went on.
BY the time he came TO the enumer-
alton of the weeks blessings every
body was holding his breath. At the
very end he said:
"And, Q Lord, most of ali we thank
thee for this timely little succor."
Bets were all off.

CLOTH FROM WOOD.

In Germany, Spain and Holland
textile goods are made out of wood,
and it is probable that this industry
will soon spread to France. The pro-
cess consists in making the wood-pulp
pass directly through a metallic plate
with number of Sits. resulting In the
formation of thin ribbons, which pass
from the slitted plate directly to a
machine, which twists them, trans
forming them into very regular
threads of any desired size. The wood
fiber threads thus produced go by the
names of xyloline. silvaline and ncella;
they are classified by number like the
other threads In use. Mixed with
hemp threads they have been used to
make towels. These mixed fabrics
readily admit of washing. dyeing and
printing; the wood-pulp thread.

Quiverful- That is not his name, Of
course, but 1t represents his state Of be-
ing with considerable accuracy. and he
was, at the beginning Of the incident
about to be recorded, the proud and
happy father Of six healthy children.
Incidentally he and Mrs. Quiverful
were normally impecunious. The con-

and the minister's salary was of q size

One morning when the seventh little

the house to the accompaniment Of Mr..
Quiverful's fervent blessings upon them
and the other good people who had
made the gift possible. as soon as they
were safely out Of hearing:

mention first next Sunday when he
comes to number up his blessings-the
money or the baby?"
For II was the custom of the good
man to return weekly thanks to the
throne Of grace for all the mercies pre-
ceding the Sunday morning service,
and he always went into details, and
sometimes into rather minute particu-
lars.
Well" observed the Junior deacon

YES said the other, that's all
true enough; but he won't have the
money more than a day or two, and
the baby's going to stay for good
while-they all have, so far. I'll bet
he mentions the baby first
How much will you bet?" said the
junior, who did business in Chicago
and had some of the ways of the
world about him.
I'll go you ten." said the senior,
who was a Chicago lawyery-and not
wholly regenerate himself.
So they shook hands solemnly, and
the bet was on.
The senior deacon went home and
told his wife about the bet, and Mr..

What Aspen Thinks of Us

The Aspen Democrat of Thursday
morning had the following to say
concerning our visit:
Astonished
Well you know it.
Yes, sir! Aspen people were aston
ished, agreeably so, on Decoration
Day when the Glenwood special rolled
into the Union depot at A ;0O o clock
in the afternoon. And when the
special stopped Wheeling the Gin
woolites stepped off arrayed in white
caps with big strawberry painted
on the top and with straw wberry day
badges pinned on their breasts and
formed in line.
The procession marched through
the principal streets of the city to the
Hotel Jerome, where a reception com
mittee of Aspens charming ladies
made the visitors welcome and after
short social session, the big crowd
scattered. Some went to the Elks'
club rooms; some to the Athletic
park to see the races; some took a
ride over the city to see the sights
and some hunted places of amusement
and refreshment
1t certainly was a jolly crowd and
II big one, and oldtimers say it was
the biggest excursion that ever pulled
out of Glenwood.
The crowd was composed of Glen
woods leading business men, their
ladies and their visit was to repay
Aspen for the many times we have
gone to the Hot Water town. To be
true the Glenwoodites took advantage
of their visit to advertise their Straw
berry day-and why not2 1t shows
that they are on to their job and the
Democrat would suggest that when
the Aspen people go down on Straw
berry day that we adopt some mark
cap, or hat, or something to dis
tingu'sh the Aspen people from the
rest of the herd.

Bishop SpdIding'S Sermon

This, then is the message which
we have heard of Him, and declare
unto you, that God is light and in
Him is no darkness at all. | .Johu | %
The above was used by Bishop
franklin s. Spalding last Sunday in
st. Barnabas Church as the text for
one of the most delightfully."- interest
ing and instructive sermons to which
Glenwood people have ever had the
pleasure of listening.
In his Introductory the Bishop
dwelt at length upon the present. 'i,y-

number of years agI the journali It
found the two and three column edi
torial popular but now he must CON
dense his editorial thought into short,
pithy paragraphs. Time was, and
not so very long ago, when lengthy
novels were much in vogue but now
the novelist is fast learning that the
short stories are gaining in popularity
and whereas the statesman once wrote
massive volumes to expound politi-
cal theory. short articles are now
found fully as effective-in fact the
man who writes long, tedious articles
will find that in this strenuous, busy
world no one has time to read them
The Bible is an example of great
thoughts in few words The first
chapter of Genesis with it's story of
creation is marvel of brevlty. The
historical books. the Prophecies, the
Psalms are models of the greatest
truths told in the fewest words. st.
John especially had the gift of con
densing great thoughts into little
space and in the text he proposes to
give the whole gospel in one word
LIGHT. Light as used here means
three things Truth and Right
eousness.
God is life. We cannot explain the
sun 8 light any more than we can look
with unshaded eye into it's dazzling
brightness. Scientists have carefully
studied the sun from every point of
knowledge, research and investigation
and yet we cannot learn much from
their statements beyond that which
we already know, but we accept its
light and heat and comfort gladly,
This is what st. Paul meant when he
said, "In Him we live and move and
have our being
God is truth; and in Him there is
no error, in Him there is no falsehoOd
ened at discoveries of Truth. The
more of truth in any sphere of knowl-
edge, the more of God.
God is righteousness. He gives
the power in world of temptation to
live for noble and worthy ideals,
There have been periods when
Christianity has apparently languished
and it may have seemed at times tnat
the light had been put out, but st.
John says again 1.-THE light shined in
the darkness and the darkness compre-
hended it not or as the revised version
has it "the darkness overcame it
not. Prophet after prophet through
history has blazed it out through the
darkest ages Of history even as in an

Serious Injury to Miss Stevenson

Last Friday night Tramway acci-
dent, which cost one life, is liable TO
cost another. Miss Hattie l.. Steven
son, state librarian and sister of
Archie NJ. Stevenson, the attorney
and political sader, was sent to st.
Luke S hospital in serious condition
this morning Miss Stevenson was a
passenger on the ill-tated car when it
crashed into another on Fifteenth
street near Market street, and she
suffered fracture of bone of the
right wrist. She was driven to her
brothers home at 1920 York street,
where an examination by Doctor Dur
bin, the Tramway physician. devel-
oped that, barring the shock occasion
ed by the accident and the fractured
wrist, Miss Stevenson was unhurt.
Miss Stevenson remained at her broth
er's home under the care of the physi-
clan, and, although she became no
better, there was no occasion for
alarm until yesterday afternoon, when
her condition took on change fol
the worse, and this morning it became
imperative to transfer her to the hos
pital, where the physicians fear she
mas received internal injuries
Friends of Miss Stevenson are
alarmed at her condition and fear the
worst, despite the fact that the physi-
clans in charge are hoping for the
best, and give as much encouragement
as possible Denver Post.
