NOT LOOKING FOR ADVICE.
"Phin" Had His Own Reasons for
Most Peculiar Action.

Some years ago there lived In the
village of Vienna, Me-, a man by the
name of Phineas Jones, commonly
known at "Phin." Among other faults,
''Phin" had an unfortunate love for
something more fiery than soda water.
On one occasion he had driven to
Augusta. about 20 miles distant. and
during his day in town had imbibed
more than was good either for his
equanimity or his clearness of brain.
Returning at nightfall to the livery
stable where he had put up his outfit.
he undertook to harness his own
horse. to the delight of the stable
boys.
He managed to get the harness On.
after much trouble. but when he IN
lertook to place the horse between
:he thills, he led her in with her aston
Ished face toward the dasher. One of
the stable boys, convulsed with laugh
ter. called out:
Here. 'Phin,' hadn't you better turn
your horse 'round?"
.Phin," in no mood to brook inter
ference, faced the boy with maudlin
dignity. and, steadying himself against
the wagon-wheel. replied. solemnly:
Young man (hic). p'raps you don't
know (hic) which way I'm goin'!"

sTRATToN HOME.
Estate Will Soon Begin Building at
Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs-The affairs of
the Stratton estate will be closed in a
few months at the latest, probably by
July list, and work will be begun at
once thereafter on the $1,000,000 My
ron Stratton home for the poor, for
the construction and maintenance of
which the late w. S. Stratton be-
-queathed the bulk of his estate.
1t Is also planned by the executors
10 replace the one-story building
owned by the estate on the corner of
Seventeenth and Welton streets. Den
yer, by six-story brick and stone bust
ness structure on eleven lots, to cost
approximately 100000.
Carl S. Chamberlin of this city, one
of the three executors of the estate,
and a nephew of the dead millionaire
and philanthropist, is authority for the
announcement.
No definite plans have been made
for building to replace the Toltec
block on Seventeenth and Stout
streets, Denver, although modern
structure may be built on that site at
some future date.
w. S. Stratton died in this city four
years ago, leaving an estate valued at
slightly over SG,000000. He bequeathed
approximately 100000 to relatives,
friends and institutions. and provided
that after all legacies and debts we're
paid the residue should be applied to
the maintenance of the Myron STRAIT
ton home, named after his father.
The site and buildings of this home
shall cost not to exceed 81 100000. The
home must be built in FL Paso county
and will probably be built near this
city. All worthy poor of good moral
character are eligible. The order of
precedence is Ell Paso county. state of
Colorado and the United States.
The executors of the estate, Carl -.
Chnmberlin and Dr. ID. II. Rice, 10th
of this city, and Tyson S. Dimes of
Denver, after closing up the estate,
will turn over the money to the trus-
tees of the home Rice and Dimes are
also trustees, together with former
Judge Moses r. Hallett.
The construction of the home does
not depend on the sale of the holdings
of the estate, since the executors are
not Obliged to sell until a satisfactory
price is offered. The Myron Stratton
Home Association will be formed by
the trustees.
