MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

1t must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across tie aisle of the car. the pic
lures looked funny. and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stined laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny. but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup.
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an.
giles became interested and looked
over the. girls shoulder. Presently
her face broadened into a grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking
The man in the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy n few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetically. A
darky still further down showed ali
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train. yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

Peacocks for Food.

The peacock cannot well be recon-

tender in early youth. too slow in
reaching maturity. But as a choice
rarity the crown and cap-sheaf of a

Interesting Facts Regarding Its Coffee,
.FIavoring Extracts, Baking Pow
der and Other Manufacturing
and Wholesale Business.

The great wholesale grocery house
Of the c. s. Morey Mercantile Company
In Denver gives special attention to its
coffee trade, having as fine a coffeo
roasting plant as there Is In the coun-
try. with roasting capacity OF one
hundred and fifty bags of green coffee
day. Its experiments show that in
the dry climate OF Colorado coffee
should not be held too long after roast
Ing, and hence all coffee is shipped as
soon as possible after 1t has been
roasted. The great success this firm
Is having with its high-grade package
| coffees. such as Solitaire. Yampa, Cap
i;ol, and many others. is due to the fact
that no expense Is spared In keeping
the blends and grades uniform and al
ways up to the standard.
Their coffee expert is one of the very
best in the country and he is In
| structed to buy only the best coffees re-
gardless of cost. The constant and inn
mense increase in their coffee business
| shows that this fact Is appreciated by
the public.
Another growing branch OF its man.

| additional story has Just been COM
pleted for laboratory use. None but
the very finest OF Mexican and Bour-
bon vanilla beans are used for Morey's

least twelve months before It Is
shipped. and only the best oil of
lemon that can be obtained Is al

their Solitaire extracts are as good as

the firms popular and staple produc-

quite as efficient and more wholesome
than cream tartar powders.
Grinding and packing of high-grado,
absolutely pure spices is another spe-
cialty that is bringing credit to tho
| firm name.
The company is also a direct impor-

business.
The grocery part of the business is

who cover all of Colorado and parts of

The company's immense building on
Sixteenth street, near the Union depot,

Proper Care of a Pipe.

To obtain the best results from a
briar pipe and increase the pleasure of
smoking. the following hints will be
fopr1 of value: Fill the pipe well,
light the tobacco evenly and smoke
slowly. This will avoid excessive heat
ing of the wood and will prevent 1t
from burning. See that the tobacco
is entirely consumed, so that the cake
may form all over the inside of the
bowl. Do not fill a new pipe until 1t
has cooled on Remove the cake which
forms inside of the bowl frequently, as
If the cake is allowed to become too
thick 1t will split the bowl, because
when heated the cake expands more
rapidly than the wood. When the cake
has been scraped away the same care
should be taken a. with a new pipe.
Always keep your pipe clean; this will
prevent 1t from getting strong. Best
of all, keep several pipes in use and
change frequently.
1t is no easy task to give direction
that will insure the life and coloring
of every meerschaum pipe. Much de-
pends on the quality of the material.
as also on the care exercised by the
smoker. Always smoke slowly. Use
a meerschaum button. Allow the pipe
to cool before refilling. Keep the
hands away from the bowl while it is
hot. Use top bowl If the smoker de-
sires to color the pipe to the top.
Avoid smoking the pipe out of doors
in rainy or extremely cold weather.
Unscrew the mouthpfece only when
necessary; that is, when the pipe is
clogged and needs cleaning. Use a
knife with a rounded edge when 1t be-
comes nee 'sary to remove the caking
in the bowl
