My friend, do you think the few dol
lars you are accumulatingare going to
pay you for the good name you have
gradually lost? Do you know that
people say they would be glad if you
would move away; that you do the
town no good? You stand for no pub
lie Improvement unless it benefits you;
when subscription paper is handed
around you wiggle out of putting any
thing down by telling few lies; when
you have chance to make three dol
lars honorably or three and quarter
by being crooked, you always take
the three and q quarter. We could go on
for an hour and tell of crooked deals
put up by you, but it would be no
newe, for everybody knows about
them. You have accumulated little
money by such a life, but you have
made mighty poor bargain. II ad
versity ever overtakes you, and you
need true friendship, you will find out
that fact to your sorrow. But there
will be no compassion for you. You
have traded away all that makes life
worth living for a mess of pottage
And you can't trade back.

For a Greater Colorado.

The Continental Divide extends
north and south not far from the pres
ent boundary between New Mexico
and Arizona, thus marking a natural
division between the two territories.
Arizona thus belongs naturally to the
Pacific group of states, while New Mex
leo Is as clearly member of the
Rocky Mountain group. 1t would be
impossible to select joint capital
near the center of the double territory,
and either the people of the present
territory OF Arizona would have to go
an extreme distance to transact their
business at the state capital. (Which Is
what is now proposed), or else the peo-
pie of the present territory of New
Mexico would have to submit to SIM
liar inconvenience and injustice. II
would be much better arrangement
to add New Mexico bodily to Colorado
than to try to make single state out
of two territories that are separated by
such important differences as are Ari-

Persons with a susceptibility to ma

fee, which has a tendency to load up
the liver with bile.
A lady writes from Denver that she
suffered for years from chills and
fever which at last she learned were
mainly produced by the coffee she
drank.
Il was also grievously afflicted
with headaches and Indigestion" she
says, which I became satisfied were
likewise largely due to the coffee 1
drank. Six months ago quit its use
altogether and began to drink Postum
Food Coffee. with the gratifying result
that my headaches have disappeared
my digestion has been restored and
have not had a recurrence of chills
and fever for more than three months.

that brought me this relief, for have

my daughter has been as great
coffee drinker as I, and for years was
afflicted with terrible sick headaches,
which often lasted for n week at
time. She is a brain worker and en-
cessive application together with head
aches began to affect her memory
most seriously She found no help in
medicines and the doctor frankly adj
vised her to quit coffee and use Post

For more than four months she
has not had headache-her mental
faculties have grown more active and

restored.

Railway Building in 1905.

Approximately 5000 miles of new
railway has been completed in the
United States during the year 1905,
says the Railway Age. The new mile
age of 1905 exceeds that of 1904 by
over 700 miles. while the track laid
during the first half of this year was
G53 miles less than reported for the
first six months of 1901, which facts
indicate how energetic has been the
work of the past six months.
Colorado is credited with ninety-one
miles. Wyoming with fifty and New

to put finger into. The food had to
be given with n spoon. for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as

mouth they began to bleed and sup

whole body was covered over and

Whenever he was laid In his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make an
open sore. think his face must have
itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help. and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-

cure him. otherwise he was to be put
