the girl despondently.
Perhaps you have been too long at

That's a good suggestion. l began

Every morning after that the girl
sat before her easel, and often the
stranger, who sOjourned-for his health
at the same hotel as She Strolled by,
looked at her work and spoke to her
about it, now and then venturing a
friendly criticism. But the only words
of encouragement he gave her We're:
Don't work too eng at one time.
When your work looks unsatisfactory
to you, leave it, and likely you will
be better pleased with it when yo,
have rested" And what the stranger
said proved to be true. In the morn,
ing she was surprised that she had
been dissatisfied with her work of the
previous day. She would sit down be-
fore her canvas, and after spending
couple of hours with her brushes it
would seem that she had undone all
she had achieved the previous day.
Then the stranger would come along
and remind her that in the morning
when refresbeds she would likely again

he said. Paint in the morning; stroll

ONLY - VOTES WERE CAST
Interest in School Election Even Less
Than Anticipated. Board
Will Proceed.

Never was there held in Grand
Junction n school election in which
so little interest was taken As devel-
oped in the special election held yes
terday for the purpose of voting up
on the proposition to vote $4,000 in
bonds for the purchase OF a site Of
new high school building.
The election was held between the
hours OF two O'Clock and five O'Clock
in the afternoon at the Lowell build
ing and the officers of election had
so little to do that il was hard for
them to keep awake.
A total of only % votes were cast.
. of these votes were for the two
bond isSIes, 3 were against and one
vote was blank. Up to the last hour
only II votes had been polled
Very little interest could be arous-
ed in the matter. There was practic-
ally no opposition to the bond issues
and it was conceded all along that the
two PROPOSITIONS would carry easily.
The school board will probably at
once take steps to make the bond is
sues and to eXpend the proceeds Of
the sale of the bonds for the purpose
designated as soon as feasible.

Proceeds to Attack The Sentinel

Evidently Editor Holmes, of the

trouble to ascertain that he is right
before he makes an attack on another
paper. If he had watched the edi-

that we have given more attention to
the public lands convention to be held
in Denver soon than have the great
majority of the western slope papers.

he tell the truth and state that there

anxious to jump on something or

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
CURED. They are speedy in their &C.
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

may have nose for news, but

up any. Now, when a newspaper man
