NOT 4 FLIGHT OF ENVY


Man has had more trouble in learn

land and the water, but he isn't 90

the air with as much ease as that dis
played by the charming young man on
the flying trapeze. We don't realize
what progress has already been made.
Major Baden-P Powell. 8 retired officer
of the British army, and known for
his inventions in man-lifting kites.
notes that when he first wrote about
flying eleven years ago he was regard

Is different: During the past year as
cents by man-carrying kites were con-

continually improved until men have

of 5000 feet, or nearly ten times as

means?" asked Major Baden Powell.
do we realize that to-rnorrow-not in
the dim and distant future, but to-
morrow-a French airship might come
across the channel and hover over Do

out of reach of military fire? 1t could
drop explosives or our guns and ships,
and blow up our powder magazines. .

skies with fleets of human locusts, and
adds When a Frenchman can dash

it will be high time to inquire where

National frontiers and private boun-

Probably most people believe that tu-
berculosis is hereditary. In addressing
the tuberculosis Association in Wash
ington, DR.. John L. Morse Of Boston,
an expert, said it was practically
agreed that hereditary tuberculosis is
almost unknown; but child should be
taken from a tuberculosis patient at
the earliest possible moment, to pre-
vent natural contagion. The child of
parents affected with tuberculosis must
necessarily be greatly exposed to con-
tagion.

All the world isn't as prosperous as
the United States. A correspondent re-
ports to Dun's Review that the hard
times in South Africa are growing
harder. There were 2,371 business fail
ures last year, and 426 in the first two
months of this year. To-day he writes,
the whole country from Johannesburg
to Cape Town is in a discouraged con-
dition. and storekeepers in all the
towns are complaining of exceptionally
dull business when there should be the
healthiest signs of revival. It Is claim
ed by many that the imperial govern
ment Is largely to blame for this state
of affairs. The suspense caused by the
attitude Of English ministers in regard
to Chinese labor and the uncertainty
regarding the political future of the
Transvaal and Orange River colony,
are having a serious effect upon com
mercial interests. 1t is feared in many
quarters that the worst is yet to come.

A london scientist says that life In
a big city makes young children quick,
but not intelligent. Indeed. he thinks
1t often destroys their chances Of being
clever, for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally. 1t makes
them superficial, alert, but not obsery-
ant; excitable, but without one spark
of enthusiasm They are apt to grow
,blase, tickle, disconnected; they see
more things than the country-bred child,
but not such interesting things; they
do not properly see anything, for they
have neither the time nor the capacity
to get at the root Of all the bewilder-
Ing sobjects that crowd themselves into
their little lives.

The new woman of Japan can hold
her own with the other new women.
Yessu Hattori, widow of thirty-fiye,
mas arrived at Tacoma, Washington, to
enter Whitworth college. She intends
to study chiefly domestic science. At
an age when American widows would
begin to think of "a rich widower of
fifty" she says: "Oh, am only thir-
ty-five; I have plenty of time; 1 can
stay in America f1ve-ten years, if it
takes that long" The home of Yessu
Hattori is on Formosa Island, where
for ten years she has been acting as
trained nurse in one of the hospitals.
For years her ambition has been to
study American methods of nursing
and to perfect herself in the English
language, and it is with this idea in
view that she has worked and saved
since the death of her husband threw
her on her own resources several years
ago. She has daughter fifteen years

Conejos tomorrow when ii full

AN IDEAL MAN
FOR CONGRESS

The Hon. Warren A. Haggott,
Republican candidate for congress
from the second congressional dis
trict, is widely known throughout
the state Throughout the counties
of Clear Creek and Gilpin, and
that great territory in northwest
Colorado which is just being pre-
sented to the world, the name of
Haggott is as familiar as that of
the famous John Smith" Not
only is this true, but in every nook
and corner of the state the house
hold is familiar with the name and
record of this true son of Color
ado.
AS lieutenant governor Mr.. Hag
gott appealed strongly to the peo-
pie; as private citizen every man
is proud to clasp his hand and call
him friend. His individuality ap-
peals to all who know him. Big,
and broad, and liberal, he is one of
the people: just the man the peo-

pie should desire to represent them
in the national congress. A bril-
liant lawyer, whose counsel is
eagerly sought by both rich and
poor; and the latter class always
receives the best treatment his
legal knowledge can afford. a
statesman not ii cheap politician.
Clean, wholesome, upright and
without the slightest taint upon
either private or public character,
Mr.. Haggott is entitled to the es-
teen, respect and votes of every
man and woman who has the best
interests of Colorado and the ma
ton at heart
No other man in Colorado could
present SO strong IA personality us

MRS. F. Il. REAUGH
PASSES AWAY

La Jara people We're shocked to
learn of the death of Mrs. +. H.
Reaugh, who died at her home in
Alamosa on Friday, after brief
illness. AS Lima Sampson Of
Antonito, she was known through
out the valley where the hearts Of
numerous friends grieve over her
premature demise. The funeral
cortege passed through La Jara
Monday morning, and amid
childhood scenes, the remains
were laid to rest. Thus it is that
aside from a husband, parents and
an only brother, a wee baby boy is
deprived of life's most precious
gift-a mothers love. To the be-
reaved there is but one consolation,
the reuniting of sorrowing hearts
in the beyond, where in its green
pastures and beside its still waters
the loved one awaits them.

JUST LIKE A
BALkY MULE

Frank Gable and Mr.. Seltzer
arrived in town Wednesday, en-
route to Antonito in Mieir d
Vests machine. They stopped
in La .Jara long enough to get DIR.
Schenck into the notion of accom-
panying the visitors over to our
neighboring town where they went
to repair the electric light plant.
Upon the return trip the machine
balked just as it was crossing the
Conejos, and not until the wee
sma' hours of the morn did they
reach this point of the compass.
The doctor says that he has had
enough auto trips to last him a
week.

desist and take the rest nature
called for. So he decided to sell
his farm and spend his allotted
years in peace and quiet well
earned by strenuous years of toll.
A purchaser was secured. a
Young man who well knew the
value of the property. Notwith-
standing the fact that much mon
ey and labor had been spent in
improving the place, Mr.. Needham
sold at exactly the same price he
paid when he purchased.
Now comes in Braiden, and We
wish you to compare him with
Shylock. if the latter would not
turn over in his grave in agony at
being brought into such company.
After having grabbed deliberate
ly stolen-one-third of the original
purchasing price, he learns of the
sale by Mr.. Needham. His greedy
soul arose in the ascendency and
his itching palm was again in evi=
dence
Shylock demanded only what
was written in the bond. He was
the soul of honor as compared
with w. A. Braiden. When this
fellow learned that Mr.. Needham
had made "A sale, although Braid
en- had no possible connection with
it. he demanded a commission
out of the price paid, basing his
claim upon the fact that some
years ago he had induced the man
who purchased to come to La
Jara. Therefore, by his peculiar
line of reasoning, he was and is
entitled to rakeoff on any and
every financial deal made by one
of those whom he was instrument
al in bringing to the valley.
We knew that this man was
mean and contemplate, but did
not imagine he was SO utterly lost
to every sense of honor or decency
as to twice attempt to rob the
same man. The ordinary thief
would be satisfied with one hold
up, especially if he made good
haul. But this man, Braiden,
must needs come back and again
, attempt to slug his victim.
This is the "reformer"
patriot who would save the people

1t is generally recognized that
Shylock, as depicted by Shakes
peare, is about the most contempt
ible speciman of humanity imag-
Unable. With avaricious claws eX-
tended he demanded his pound of
flesh and would not abate one jot
nor title Neither justice nor
mercy were found in his character.
He was a human ghoul. in whom
the love of gold overshadowed all
other considerations.
Yet Shylock was mere novice
in his business. He only had ac-
quired the first principles in the
art of getting money in any old
way. no matter how unjust or il
legal. He was mere tyro in
grabbing what did not belong to
him. He was innocence personi-
fed compared with "A La Jara
character.
Two years ago Cornelius Need
ham, a man well past middle life,
came to La Jara from Indiana.
He had some money which he had
earned by laborious toll as "A farm
er and desired to invest in land

the idea of speculation, but to OBJ

comparative comfort.
Mr.. Needham met w. A. Braid
en- and the latter took the would
be purchaser under his protecting
real estate wing. He had just the
piece of land Mr.. Needham de-
sired and it could be secured for
much less than it's actual value.
The farm in question belonged
to l.. d. Eskridge, who had placed
it in the hands of Braiden to sell.
Mr.. Eskridge placed upon the
ground IA valuation of $50 an acre
expecting of course, to pay Braid
EN- "A commission if sale was con-
sumated.
When Braiden got Mr.. Needham
in tow, he opened his wind bag
and by dint of persistent mouth
action sold the place to Mr.. Need
ham for $50 per acre. He thus
robbed the purchaser of $40 Oh
each acre. Where would Shy
lock come in on a deal like that?
But that was easy for Braiden.
Just common, everyday event
if the opportunity were presented.
A trivial little thing like film
flaming IA stranger or double cross
ing a friend never worried him.
He was out for the gelt, and the
other fellows must look out for
themselves.
Mr.. Needham is an industrious,
practical farmer. For two years
he has labored to make his farm
an ideal home. Despite the feeble
ness naturally resulting from en-
croaching age, he has manfully
battled to perfect that ideal. He
has accomplished much more than
would many in the full vigor and
strength of younger manhood.
The value of his property has ma
terially increased because OF his
labor and the intelligent direction
of improvements.
But Mr.. Needham could not
continue the struggle. Waning
strength warned him that he must

sique and still smaller in mental

almost bordered on the ludicrous.
Standing on the stage beside
Pink Mcdaniel. he reminded one
of a six-year-old kid out for a walk
with his father.
The little judge had a good
sized audience and when the votes
come in cannot complain that La
Jara did not give him fair and
impartial hearing. He was as
frisky as young colt Just turned
out to pasture and didn't miss au
opportunity in his elocutionary
pyrotechnics. He was out for the
goods, and wanted the people to
know it.
1t was not "A polit----

Interurban

The Tri-County Press at Bussey
gives an elaborate outline of the three
interurbans centering in the coal field
near Buxton, and including Des
Moines, Ottumwa and Oskaloosa, fig
ures up town population OF 1862
that may be connected with 125 miles
of track. Continuing the paper says:
1--WE have been told on what seems
good authority that the Rock Island
at Dallas would be the equal of Bux-
ton, and tnat plans for the huge
plant, including store, are already in
blue print. This means 1000 to 5000
people at Dallas instead of 500. At
tica developments promise well.
"Both Oskaloosa and Abba will
have easy access to all this vast, rich
domain, with only the building of a
short line ny each, and this they can
do unaided if they will. In fact Oska-
loosa has already begun and will
reach Buxton this year. We believe
(she should have been at it before
and pre-empting this loop idea) she
will loop the loop ana from Buxton
will run to LoVilia, Hamilton, Marys-
vile, Everist Bussey, Durfey and
back to the main line at White City.
The Tri-County has told Oskaloosa
'steen times that was their hold and
to grab root quick, but it takes a
long time for preliminaries and gives
others time to think. This is the
most populace, most prosperous Sec
ton of Iowa, and we mean to have
some others see us as we see our
selves. This system is the correct
solution of the lnterurban problem
and there is no need to wait five
years for this notion to percoiate. Do
something this year."
