A New Feature in Through Sleeping Car
Service.

On Sunday, December 18th, the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad will inaugu-
rate daily line of Standard and tourist
sleeping cars between Denver and Los
Angeles in connection with the new
Clark road. Both cars will leave Den
yer daily at $50 a. m. and arrive at Salt
Lake city at 30 p. m. the next day. At
this point the cars will be held over un-
til midnight, thus allowing through pas
sengers the privilege Of a stop-over of
ten hours and half in Salt Lake City.
Eastbeund, these cars will leave Los An.
geles at 500 p. N. and arrive at Salt
Lake City at $50 a. IN. second morning,
where they will remain over until $50
p. m., thence to Denver where they will
arrive at APO the following afternoon.
This stop-over at Salt Lake City of the
regular line of sleeping cars promises to
be an attractive feature for transconti-
mental travellers.

Rich Duke Dresses Plainly.

The duke Of Norfolk's dislike OF
pompousness has given rise to many
stories. A school treat was being
held in Arundel Park, his splendid
ancestral home. and the duke was
crossing one Of the lawns. when a
teacher. unaware of the dukes iden-
tity, rushed across to him and
shouted: Come of the grass at
once! 1t is people like you whose
behavior gets parks shut to the pub.

the duke went to convent to pre-
side over gathering. The sister
who opened the door thought the un.
obtrusive stranger was seeking assist.

lowed by Congregation.
Ex-Congressman Harry Libby OF
Virginia tells story of John Ran
dolph of Roanoke, which has never
been printed. Randolph had employed
a preacher named Clopton to deliver
some sermons to the negroes in the
chapel on the plantation. One Sunday
when the weather was very cold the
preacher was giving out the hymns,
two lines at a time, when he saw a
negro put his foot on the red-hot
stove, and called to him: you rascal,
you; you'll burn your shoe"
That fitted rhyme and meter. and
the negroes sang it. The preacher
smiled and explained: my colored
friends, indeed you're wrong; l didn't
intend that for the song"
The negroes also sang this verse
very piously, and then the preacher
impatiently shouted at them: 81 hope
you will not sing again. until I have
time to explain" And this they sang
with strenuous earnestness, so that
Clopton gave up in despair, took up
his Bible, announced a text and deliv-
cred sermon which was not SO ryth.

''On the Bridge at Midnight" drew the
largest house of the season Sunday
evening. The show was good one and
the audience seemed we'll pleased. The
"Uncle Toms Cabin" troupe had fair
attendance Monday night considering
the dance and other events held on New
Years evening. No other show has as
yet been booked for this month, but it is
likely that some Tabor attraction will
hold the boards in about two or three
weeks. Almost all the booking this sea-
son is being done through Peter Nc
Court of Denver and what few shows
that will appear here ought to be of a
high class.

Evidence of Guilt.

If a Chinese dies while being tried
for murder the fact of his dying is
taken as evidence of his guilt. He
has departed, but somebody must suf-
fer, and his eldest son, If he has one,
is therefore sent to prison for year.
If he has no son then his father or

Progress In Nail Making.

A common nail is an excellent illus
tration of the difference between old

was cut into strips and forged into
shape with hammers, an expert taking
one and half minutes for each nail.

Don't Talk of Your Health.
