LovELAND CORN ROAST.
Unique Festival Has Very Large At
tendance.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Loveland. Labor Day, says: The Love-
land annual free corn roast has gone
into history as the most deliberately
planned and most largely attended OF
any since the corn roasts were inaug-
urated in 1895.
A steady rain on Saturday night and
a portion of Sunday prevented many
from coming who otherwise would
have have been here, and made it
somewhat unpleasant underfoot on ac-
count OF the muddy streets. Other
wise nothing occurred to mar the
pleasure of the occasion.
Every train during the forenoon
came in loaded with visitors and one
from the north had to return to Fort
Collins for second load. Several
specials were run over the sugar road,
while hundreds of persons came from
the surrounding country by wagons.
1t is estimated that from 5000 to 5000
visitors were present.
The business streets were elabo-
rately decorated, while the illumina.
tiOn in the evening was very pretty.
The corn roast was held on the cam
pus OF the Washington street school.
where several thousand visitors were
served with a free lunch consisting OF
roast corn, sandwiches. coffee and
fruit.

Has Faith in Alaska.

Daniel Guggenheim, president of the
Guggenheim Exploitation Company,
who recently returned from Alaska, in
an interview at Denver after his re-
turn, said:
ut was visit of pleasure as we'll as
business. We left Seattle about two
months ago and took the inside pas
sage to Skagway, thence over the IA
nous Chilcoot pass, which is now tra-
versed by railway. AS we ascended I
could not help but admire the rugged
courage of those early gold seekers
who climbed it, some of them during
billiards.. From Chilcoot pass the bal
ance of the route to Dawson is con-
tinual revelation. The scenery is diff
ferent from anything l have ever seen.
The little steamer in which we jour
neved down the Yukon afforded an
ample opportunity to see the landscape
as the treacherous rocks makes navi-
cation slow. The Yukon IS wonder
full river. From a narrow stream 1t
Droadens out until at Dawson it is as
wide as the Mississippi at Burlington
and at Nome they tell me il is several
miles wide. Dawson is a picturesque
place and it's inhabitants as cosmopol-
itan as any to be found on the face OF
the globe.
"One thing about Alaskan miners i'm
pressed me. | saw men well past sixty
working with pick and shovel, and they
seemed to have all the vim of youth.
Their cheeks were read and they stood
erect and strong. l recalled the aver
age denizen of the city at sixty and
came to the conclusion that mining in
Alaska was one of the ways of re-
newing ones youth. The climate at
this time of year is delightful. We
slep. outdoors many nights and the
frugal fare of the mining camps was
often more appetizing than the menu
at the Waldorf. | believe Alaska will
be one of the most wonderful states in
the Union some day. Besides its gold
1t has other resources. People are be-
ginning to take up agriculture ana
grazing in small way and they are
prospering.
The biggest bear ever saw was at
Skagway. None of the circuses have
such n big bear. Bruin was Of the Ka'
diak island species and they had him in
pen, ON which was the announcement
that when the bear accumulated $50
he was to be set free. The sign also
said the bear had something over four
dollars already. Naturally 1t was up
to us to contribute the other SIG and
see the bear get his liberty. When
bruin was let out he looked around in
a friendly sort of way and apparently
not seeing anyone he knew well, am
bled off toward tho hills. Shortly after
ward we left for Dawson, but when we
returned there was the same monster
bear, and this time he only needed SO
to gain his freedom. Apparently we
had arrived unannounced. We were
heartless enough to allow him to re-
main behind the bars this time and his
keeper scowled when he learned our
determination not to set the poor beast
free again."

No convict has been guillotined in
Paris for ten years, and the sentences
of those condemned to death have
been commuted to imprisonment for
life. The reason for this lies in the
fact that the law provides that all
capital executions shall be held in
public. and since the guillotine was
removed from the Place de la Ro-
quette ten years ago. no other place
has been found for 1t. The residents

The Universal Gifts.

An old farmer was talking of his
boyhood to group of young people
not long ago. 1t had been lived-that
far-away boyhood-early in the last
century, in country place remote
from towns. He described it's meager
conditions-the houses, in which such
things as "conveniences" had never
been dreamed of, the coarse food and
poor clothing, the scanty schooling,
the few holidays; no magazines, al
most no books, no entertainments or
sports except an occasional sleighing
party; no "junketings," no celebra-
ton of Christmas or New Year, no
vacations from work. Nothing that
you young folks have to-day" he fin
ished, except weather and other
folks; but 1 tell ye," flash kindled
in the faded eye, and the fine old head
lifted proudly, Il tell ye, folks cared

kind through all the ages. They stand
like mighty mountain peaks, steadfast
and Interchangeable among all the
changing philosophers, civilizations,
powers. Sorrows come often, and
sickness and defeat; there are lives
eaten by poverty and dwarfed by con-
straining circumstance, yet, says the
Youths Companion, to every life these
three things are given-the joy of sun
shine and blue skies, the cheer and
comradeship and inspiration of other
lives pressing upon his, the opportu-
nifty to hope and dream and do bat

his fellow man and God. All over

The American "Drummer."

A United States consul sends to the
state department bit of advice for
American business houses that intend
seeking trade in Spanish-American
countries. Cheap travelling sales
men who can pick up orders in a
brisk and breezy fashion," he de-
clares, will not be able to do much
business there. Statesmen of culture
and education, with polished manners
and a knowledge of the languages and
customs Of the people among whom
they go, he believes to be essential.
The consul's intentions are good,
and 1t is easy to see the point he
seeks to make. American business
houses would doubtless do well to
remember his words of caution. But
he has wrong conception of the
American travelling salesman. The
type he has in mind figures more
largely on the stage and in the books
of fiction than on the road. The roy
stering. flashy 'spellbinding' drum
mer has practically disappeared. The
knights of the grip, while they may
not be composite Lord Chesterfields
and ]. Pierpont Morgans, are quiet.
level-headed. capable men of business.
They seek, says the Cleveland Leader,
to obtain and hold trade by a thorough
knowledge of the branch of it they are
in and by deserving the confide ence of
the men they deal with. The com.
mercial traveller of to-day does not re-
sort to tricks. He transacts business
on business basis, and succeeds on
his merits. Such accomplished gen
tlemen as are described by the consul
would doubtless have an immense ad.
vantage over their less gifted brethren
in Latin-America, but the supply OF
them is bound to be limited. It is a
safe prediction that the plain, ordi-
nary American travelling men will get
their full share of the business in
Mexico and Central and South Amer
lea.

THE RICHEST BOY,

the richest boy in the world may
be ushered to the front. Marshal
Field, a youth of twelve and mod

holds the new economic status.
His grandfather made provision
III his will that the enormous sum
of 800, 100000 remain intact for
for forty years and the greater
part of the income re-invested.
His two favorite grandchildren,
Marshal and Henry, are the bene-
ticiaries of this provision. Should
Marsha live to attain the age of
fifty he will be the possessor of
$500, 900, 900 by the law of legiti-
mate increase, and his brother,
Henry, will have Just $4,000, 900
less that amount.
The basis of estimation observed
ls that money invested at six per
cent. doubles itself every fourteen
years, hence the figures given at
the I'd of the period specified.
