LEE HANEY, BOOSTER.
Tackled Man VINO Was Already Boosting
Denver Fifty Millions worth.

Lee Haney is in town on business with a
Rocky Mountain bear. He's the man who
got the job az the main guy in the Boosters
Association, which was organized to boom
Denver a few years ago.
He worked 80 assiduously that even the
chronic hustlers OF The Colorado city opened
their eyes with surprise. Let no guilty
man escape" was his slogan as he went about
the city. by dint of irresistible argument,
or otherwise, compelling everybody to dig
up for the good of the cause of making the
town the greatest west Of the Mississippi.
A friend Of Haney here tells of one of the
comical incidents of the wonderful cam
paign which the Head Booster conducted:
He went into the First National Bank
OF Denver, of which David Mofat is the
president" said the Denver man. deter
mined to get a big subscription for the
Boosters fund. He was new in the town
and didn't know much about David Moffat.
except that he had a swell bank building
and was reputed to be wealthy.
-Haney didn't know even that it was
Moffat, who, right out OF his own individual
pocket. was building the great $50, 600 600
Moffat railroad to Frisco-a thing which
in itself is one OF the biggest boosts Denver
ever got. He got hold Of Motfat \ nephew.
who was in the bank that day. With MIN
he argued long and eloquently about the
prospects Of the enlargement and enrich
ment Of Denver. N finally got down to
the point.
Say he said, your uncle's got a lot Of
money; why don't you get him to do some
thing handsome for Denver to boost it
along''
The nephew. thinking Of the $50. OOO, 600
his uncle had sunk in that until then I'M
paying enterprise. smiled and then said
simply;
TELL you what III do, Haney. I'll try
to get him to finish that railroad Then
he turned to another caller.
when Haney looked nd the records
and learned that the Moffat ~ the bank
was the Moffat OF the railroads. connection

Why NOT A WINDOW LITTER:
A Handy Thing for . Man to Garry Along
When He Goes Travelling.


.I've been riding on the elevated roads
Of this city since they we're built" said a
Harlemite, but never until yesterday
had I seen a window litter; and I suppose
they must have been in use all hat time
only 1 never happened to see one. You
don't know what they are either? Well,
I'll tell you.
you know how car windows stick when
a car has just come out Of the shop, with
new varnish, or how they stick when SASH
or window frame swells in damp weather
and how you throw yourself against n Of
these windows and tug and tug at it and
finally have to give IL up? You don't have
to do that IL you have a window litter.
The guard came through this car looking
for something under the seats, and even
when he had found it and brought it out
I didn't realize at first what il was for, but
I saw in a minute. 1t a a little stnp Of
thin board stuff. about a foot and q halt
long by three inches broad, and having a
small square block Of wood about two inches
thick nailed to one end Of it.
The guard first put the block end Of this
lever on the window sill, against the window
frame and under the hand hold screwed
10 the frame, ana tnen prieu. lou couldn I
raise the window far In this way, but you
could raise il far enough to make the bottom
OF the sash clear the window sill by ar
inch or less, and then you could get the
thin end Of the lever under the sash and
pry the window up a little more; and with the
window thus started, and up enough so
that you could get your hands under the
window and get a good square lift on il,
the rest was easy.
Handy thing, that window litter, and I
think I'll get one to put in my
bag when I 90 travelling"

BEGGARS on VESUVIUS.
Rich Harvest Reaped From Tourists as
Result Of Last Years EruptiOn.

Since the last eruption Of Mount Vesuvius
the volcano has beef extremely profitable
to the beggars that infest Naples and its
vicinity. They are fleeing the visitors to
Boscotrecase and Ottajano, the two places
laid waste by the lava fow last year.
Huddled in groups which might have
been posed by a skilful stage manager,
the population Of Boscotrecase awaits the
arrival Of the strangers. Men, women
and children, shrieking and bowling, be-
gin to depict the terrors of the catastrophe
of 1905.
Emotional women are moved and i'm
mediately contribute. Those who do not
give freely are so beset by the weeping
and complaining natives that they are
finally convinced that il would be heartless
not to help those who have suffered so
deeply. Every day the beggars make a
highly profitable haul in spite Of the fact
that not n of them ever lived or was at
Boscotrecase until after the eruption.
At Ottajano the same appeal is made to
the sympathies Of the visitors n often
by the same impostors. Here the beggars
have made a sort of gypsy camp where they
cook beans in the hot laws and lead senti-
mental visitors to talk with an old man.
Seated on a block Of lava with the wind
blowing through his long white locks and
beard, he stares in front Of him.
This old man was very rich says the
chief OF the beggars. His house., his
fields. his fortune are under this lava.
Worse Of all his sufferings was to see his
wife swept alive under the flowing lava"
AZ these words all the beggars begin to
howl and weep. Many Of the visitors
contribute literally to the fund that soon
accumulates in the old mans open palm.
Some return to Naples profoundly touched
by the sight.
They would be consoled by the fact,
did they but know IL. that not a person
was killed at the explosion last year either
beggars are nevertheless earning a for
tune out OF sympathetic travellers who
journey there to see the lava fields.

of collegians in the cattle pens
Then, too, for many IL was the beef route
alone which made wanderings abroad

Superintendent Carroll who lives /
at Dover is having strong pressure
brought to bear to hold the sessions
in Dover this year. The fear of |
Smyrna not supporting an institute !

If Local Option dosen't do any
thing for the people of Smyrna but
better the order of things on Sat
urday nights, it will be doing a
blessed good thing, yet this is only
one of the many benefits to be
derived from a no license system.
The drunkenness and rOwdyism
that took place on the streets of
Smyrna Saturday evening should
be enough of an object lesson to
make any man vote to discontinue
the sale of the stuff which nine
cases out of ten is at the bottom of
all such disturbances. Saturday
nights in all such country towns is
pretty much the same. The week S
wages are paid and the 1aboring
classes mostly negroes come to
town and spend their earnings to
crafty their appetites for drink.
The result is that such drunken
negroes and whites take the town
and of times it is unsafe for lady
70 be on our streets. We repeat i
that Local Option, if it does moth
ing else but make our Saturday
evening traffic clean and respecta
