The Tell Tale Nnice

"If you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes"
said Denver bank teller to some
friends. ut is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But if he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
ton, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing you

FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy In Misery IL Years-Eczema In
Rough Scales, Itching and In
fiamed-Cured by Cuticura.

"Cuticura has put stop to twelve
years of misery passed with my son.
AS an infant noticed on his body a
red spot and treated same with differ
ent remedies for about five years, but
when the spot began to get larger /
put him under the care of doctors.
Under their treatment the disease
spread to four different parts of his
body. During the day it would get
rough and form like scales. At night
1t would be cracked, inf1amed and bad.
ly swollen, with terrible burning and
itching. One doctor told me that my
sons eczema was incurable, and gave
it up. 1 decided to give Cuticura trial.
When had used the first box of Cuti.
cura Ointment there was great i'm.
provement, and by the time had used
the second set of Cuticura Remedies
my child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine and

WILL HOLD MEETING TO DECIDE
UPON DEMAND FOR TWO CENT
CENT RAISE IN WAGES.
SITUATION is SERIOUS
UNLESS AGREEMENT is SOON
REACHED EVERY ROAD IN
COLORADO MAY BE
TIED UP.

Denver.-Whether a general strike
Grande system will be determined
at a meeting of the general griev-
ance committee of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen employed on that
system and the company officials. Mem
bers of the general committee from
along the line are en- route to Denver
to attend this conference, at which the
question of two-cent differential over
the Chicago scale of wages for switch
men will be discussed.
Should the Denver & Rio Grande re-
fuse to grant the increase, general
strike will be called Immediately. If
the demands of the men are granted,
the strike on the Colorado & Southern
will prove a victory for the strikers, as
follow the lead of the Denver & Rio
Grande.
Grand Master Morrissey refused to
discuss the question, and maintained
his usual policy of absolute silence.
When word was received that the In
terstate Commerce Commission had
failed in it's efforts to effect a recon
ciliation, the strikers began to talk i'm.
mediately of extending the strike.
The demand made upon the Colorado
& Southern was the same as that made
upon all the roads west of Denver, but
strike was declared on that line be-
cause Vice President Parker abso-
lutely refused to grant the increase,
while the other railroad officials
pleaded for delay. The strikers real
lze now that crucial time has arrived
and say they will enforce their demand
upon all the Western railroads without
further postponement.
General Manager Ridgway of the
Denver & Rio Grande, who conducted
the meetings with the brotherhood
several months ago, when a strike was
threatened, is on the Pacific coast re-
cuperating from an attack of appen-
dicitis. The Ilen will be able to meet
also Vice President Schlacks and Gen
eral Superintendent Welby, both OF
whom are in the city.

Watching the Knife PLAY.

There is an awful fascination
about seeing people eat with their
Knives said he who has just spent
a week on the farm for this health,
with a retrospective look in his eyes.
"a knife is such an unexpected in.
strument. You never know just where
1t is going to strike. You can't keep
your eyes off. You are afraid to look
for fear it might slip and cut the
mouth half in two, and you are afraid
If you don't look it might happen and
you won't get to see it."
