This town is only my adopted home,
but / like it and hope to remain perma-
nently When | came out of the mint j

other state. But after a time | was sent
off to big city many miles away. j
turned UP in mail order house. For
several years | stayed in that city. Mil
lionaires bought cigars with me. / did
not like that, for | believe in the plain
people.
Finally travelling man brought me to
this town and left me here. / was glad
to get back to a smaller town and / de.
termlned to make desperate efforts to
stay.
One day a citizen OF this town was
about to send me back TO that big city.
found him looking over mail order
catalogue. Suddenly found my voice
and said to him he was dentist, by
the way:
snow, look here, Doc; il you'll only let
me stay in this town I'll circulate around
and do lots of good. You buy big
beefsteak with me, and the butcher will
buy groceries, and the grocer will buy
dry goods, and the dry goods merchant
will pay his doctors bill with me, and
the doctor will spend me with farmer
for oats to feed his buggy horse and the
farmer will buy some fresh beef from
the butcher, and the butcher will come
around to you and get his tooth mended.
In the long run, as you see, I'll be more
useful to you here at home than if you ID
send me away forever"
Doc said it was a mighty stiff argu-
ment. He hadn't looked at it in that
light before. SO he went and bought
the big beefsteak, and began to circu-
ate around home again.
Now, just suppose all the other dollars
that are sent to Chicago or some other
big city we're kept circulating right here
at home. You could see this town grow.
Honest now, am | not Exchange.

Colorado Chautauqua Ten Years Old.

The assembly which opens July 4th.
1907, at Boulder. Colo, will be the tenth
one held on the grounds of this associa-
ton. From an uncertain experiment at
the beginning it has grown to be one of
the few really great assemblies of the
country and the greatest in the West
This has come about from a settled pol
icy of giving to its patrons the very best
obtainable talent regardless of cost and
at all times minimizing the expense OF
attendance. This assembly is closely
patterned after the parent Chautauqua
OF New York. Its sessions are long
enough to admit of a strong educational
feature, and the Summer School has
come to be one of its popular depart
ments. In it thirteen regularly organ
lzed schools are maintained under the
direction of specialists. Besides the
class room work more popular form of
education is offered in the lyceum, where
the most noted educators of the country
deliver courses of lectures. The even
ings are given up to social functions and
auditorium entertainments.
The tenth anniversary number of the
general announcement of this assembly
has just been issued 1t is neat LITTLE
volume of forty four pages, well illus
trated with typical western scenes, and
presenting with fullness the charm of
l'fe among the mountains of Colorado
1t also gives detailed account of the
platform program and the Summer
School courses. Twenty thousand cop
les have been issued for free distribu
ton
Three kinds of excursi ons are describ-
ed: Railway excursions, carriage drives
and mountain climbs. Some very at
tractiye trips are offered under each
head among them being the famous
Georgetown Loop trip, the Wild Flower
excursion, through Platte canon, Snow
ball excursion, up Boulder canon to the
falls, to Arapahoe glacier and Silver
lake, up the new Flagstaff road, and
many others.
At this Assembly the choice is offered
between tent and cottage life. All about
the grounds comfortable little cottages
have been erected and many of them are
for rent to visitors. Among these cot.
tages many tents are pitched and fur
nished during the session, thus making
ideal camping conditions. The grounds
are most beautifully laid out and parked
and taken all in all there is no site in
America more beautiful or better adapt
ed for building up an assembly OF inter
national importance. The attendance
for 1907 promises to be larger than dur
ing any previous session.

In his decision Judge Pritchard
said that the penalties inflicted by the
statute would close the doors to ju-

two and half million dollars a day
if the penalty was enforced on the
sale of each ticket, which is eight
times more than the amount involved
in the original suit. Also that 1t

was permitted to be pursued it would
have the effect Of defeating the juris-
diction of the United States courts.
