NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the oId-1ime
"AppIe-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom OF
making New Years calls was a de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog
or "apple-jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
II anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of century in the use
of alcoohlic beverages. lie. him stop
to consider, among other things. the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning OF
the new year. is a good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
Is the use of well-made Postum in
stead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has sem
sible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as good thing to
crink at Yule Tide. and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
my daughter and have used
Postum for some time past, and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food

ONE HUNDRED YEARS.
thanksgiving Day Near Pixies Peak
in 1906.

We wonder how many OF our readers
noticed the quotation from Lieutenant
Pixies diary of one hundred years ago.
which was printed on Tuesday, says
the Colorado Springs Gazette Thanks
giving day. That was Thursday in
1906. He and three of his men had
come up the Fountain valley, lurei ON
by the sight of the Grand Peak. as he
calls it, and hopeful of being able to
ascend 1t. The winter was bitterly
cold. Their clothing was nearly worn
out. His men, he writes, had only
light Overalls on, and no stockings"
They found no game, and were without
any food at all for forty-eight hours.
The thermometer fell to four degrees
below zero. They were middle-deep In
snow. When on this day they reached
the top of this chain," they saw the
summit of the Grand Peak apparently
at fifteen Or sixteen miles distance.
entirely bare of vegetation and covered
with eternal snow. 1t would have taken
whole days march to have arrived at
Its base, and 1t is no wonder that he
went on to say, 81 believe that no hui
man being could have assembled to its
summit" II Is no wonder that they
turned back, and were thankful, after
their forty-eight hours fast. to make
a meal-the four of them-"on one
partridge and pair of deer ribs which
the ravens had left u.s.
Ruxton had much the same expert
ence when he Travelled in these parts
four decades later. The winter he
came over the Greenhorn range and
up the Fountain valley from 1.-THE Pu-
eblo" Was also bitterly cold. He was
caught in a snowslide and barely es-
capped with life, and many time he
had his hands and feet and parts of his
face frost-bitten; and the region. even
in better weather. was full of wild In
dians and wolves.
II was through such trials and trou-
bles that this region was won for civil
cation. Doubtless the settlers of thirty
Ave years ago. when the city was first
founded, can also tell OF trials and
tribulations. Whether the weather has
mitigated. along with the other discom-
forts, as the years have passed, we can
hardly tell: but we can certainly give
thanks to-day that this day is not like
the one hundred years ago when Pike
despaired OF reaching the Peak that
now bears his name and will carry his
fame to the end of time.
