The famous Dismal Swamp in Vir-
ginia is coming into profitable cult
walton. The first company TO promote
Dismal Swamp was organized in col
onial days. George Washington was
one of the promoters and the largest
stockholder. His company owned two
thirds of the 100000 acres of the
swamp and built canal to float the
timber from its property.
Little has been done from that
time until recently, except by lumber
men. In the days before the war the
swamp was a popular refuge for run
away slaves. 1t is situated in the
southeast corner Of Virginia, and it
extends from few miles from Nor
folk. AT its highest points 1t is only
fifteen or twenty feet above tidewater
Its streams are so pure that their
water is sought by vessels going on
long voyages.
1t was long thought that the swamp
was malarious and that white men
could not live there the year round.
This notion has been disproved by the
truck farmers seeking a cheaper land.

FOR VALENTINES DAY
| The Heart Hunt and Other Amusing Games and
Pastimes


If you have a Valentine day party
you will serve refreshments. and the
idea of the day of hearts and love
must be carried out as far as pos
sible in everything arranged.
A very pretty way to send your
guests to the dining-room is to have
some pink flowers in two separate
baskets, pink carnations for the boys
and pink roses for the girls, for pink
is the special color of the god OF love.
Write beforehand on small cards Tie
names of some famous lovers of his
tory and fiction. fastening the cards
with the names of men to the carna-
tions and those with the names OF
women to the roses. Such names
should be selected as Romeo and
Juliet, Orlando and Rosalind. Hamlet
and Ophelia, Petrarch and Laura.
Dante and Beatrice. Leicester and
Queen Elizabeth. John Alden and
Priscilla, Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert, and SO on.
Then as each boy takes carnation
and reads the name on the card. he
must find the card with the CORE
spending rose card; that. Is to say.
Romeo must find Juliet, Orlando must
find Rosalind. and SO on. and they 20

Denver. A Durango dispatch
Wednesday night says: Former State
Senator Charles Newman died at his
home here shortly after 10 O'Clock to-
night of pneumonia, having been ill
only a few days
Mr. Newman was at Red Mountain
several days ago and while there con
tracted a severe cold. The disease
which resulted in his death developed
later. He was about fifty years of age
and leaves widow and two daugh-
terS.
Several years ago Mr.. Newman
served in the State Senate from the
counties of La Plata and Montezuma,
but retired after serving TWO or three
terms. He was actively engaged in
mining operations all over this section
and was well and favorably known all
over the state. Funeral arrangements
have not been completed.
The Newman block. one of the finest
business blocks in this city, was built
by him and remains monument to
his memory.
One of his daughters is Mrs. Lloyd

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
market had an excellent tone here last
week and dealers all report good
business. About 10000 cattle were of
fered outside of show stock. of which
there was big supply. Eastern de-
mand was good and it was a first-class
market from start to finish with prices
on all kinds considerably higher than
u week ago. This advance was due to
the local conditions, however, as east
ern markets were reported about
steady on feeders and strong on kill
ers. The show stuff was sold at auc-
ton and brought big prices. The
champion steer brought S33 per cwt.
and other prize-winning rat cattle from
S. to $40. Feeders sold at from $3.50
to S5.95. Offerings outside the show
stuff were liberal and in good demand.
One fancy bunch of heifers brought
$500. with other good ones at s3S5,
while most of the pretty good COWS
sold at $3.50 to $3.50. Bulls were
about steady and veals strong. Feed
ers and stockers sold well. Demand
was all that could be asked, as there
were large number of eastern buy
ers here looking for stun to fill up
their feed lots. This weeks trade can
hardly he taken as a criterion of the
market. as conditions were unusual on
account of the stock show. and deal
ers are looking for little lower
prices this week, although the demand
is expected to be good as number of
buyers waited over.
Hog supply has been heavy and
packers have enough hogs to do them
for several days. Prices continue on
the advance and tops are now selling
at the high point in several months.
The best will bring $500 with the
range down to S5.45.
Sheep market is a little stronger,
as eastern markets have been report
ing prices higher. Supply here has
been liberal but most of them going
through. Show lambs sold at $3.50 to
$40 with the champion load at $500.

Mr.. Bruce took his departure short

present developments of the mysteri-

it seemed to him. In the whole course
of his calling he had known of nothing
like it, so puZZling and complicated
with what appeared to be such ad-
verse matters.

though young for the position cashier
of the savings bank where the poor
people who worked at his mill de-
posted their earnings-this man, 1t
seemed. was defaulter, forger, the
deserter of his wife and family. Worse
yet, it appeared also that he had left
his wife and went away in company
with another woman, though this did
not seem quite so evident.
Confirmation, slight though 1t
might be. was waiting at the corner
of the street in the person of Miss
Talbert.

About the handkerchief. Mary.

Mary, I handed it to Mrs. Anderson

She said she did not notice that it
had a name on it when she bought
it. Before she thought, Mary asked
her if IL wasn't her name then, and
she said no. her name was Lenora.'
The detective was startled out OF
his general immobility by the internal
workings of the matter. A develop
| ment like that was startling, when it
would have seemed so much more
likely to have never come to the sur
face. But he managed to thank Miss
Talbert for her information and to
say. No wonder she did not recog
nize the name herself. 1t looked quite

as possible all that was known about
the strange lady. Finally. Miss Tai
