to note that though fashion old

A popular means Of achieving the

Is to copy some old picture or print.

The other cloak Is of satin vandyked

DOPE ARTIST IS
NOT CONSISTENT

The new and youthful reporter ven
tured to the racetrack one afternoon
and won, says the Cincinnati Enquirer
He was late getting away from the
course, having been in line with a win
ming ticket on the last race. When
he entered the car homeward bound
he spied Professor Brown sitting up
in front and that was the spot he Sc
lected for the journey. The professor,
who carries his title because he picks
the "best bets" for a morning paper,
looked worried and the youthful re-
porter thought it was the proper caper
for him to open a conversation with
the man who viewed the races with
the "eagle eye of science"
How did you fare today, Mr.
BROWNE" asked the reporter. A stony
stare was all he got in response to
that query, and silence reigned for a
few minutes.
The reporter, believing that Brown
had not understood the question, then
asked, "How much did you win today,
Mr. Brown2"
Sir" blurted out the professor.
"what do you mean by asking me such
a personal question:"
Il did not intend to affront you in
any way" continued the youth, "but as
quit a good winner myself 1 naturally
became curious as to what my fellow
''How much did you VIM" asked
the professor.
''Well, 1 went to the track with So
and won about $780," was the answer.
What ridiculous nonsensei" growled
the professor. "a man what don't
know horse from goat goes to the
track and wins. Here am l with
world of inside information and l ex-
perience another financial disaster. l
am ruined for all ages to come Well
some people go up in a balloon and
actually land safe again on terra firnla
But how many do not? Tell me, young
man, how did you accomplish such an
extraordinary thing as increasing your
holdings over fifty fold? Are you
gifted with second sight or what?"
"Well, professor, was the answer
sit will probably pain you bit to learn
that won because l played your tips
as they appeared in the paper this
morning You had six winners"
That was a sumner for Brown, and
he abandoned his seat at once and for
the rest of the trip stood on the plat
form.

When Bill Wolf was pitching for
Washington one day he threw couple
of his ribs out of order by reason of the
fact that he made too sudden a jerk at
the moment he was taking MS swing
Tn consequence something went wrong
with Bills ribs and Bill went on a run
to the nearest doctor.
Some time afterward, when BilPs in
iuries had all healed and he was once
more back in harness, the team was IN
a Detroit hotel washing up before going
to dinner. when Wolf, who had been
reading of a remarkable operation per-
formed by some Chicago physicians, ex-
claimed as he threw down the paper:

Lumber is on the ground. We have
just bought new Buick three seat
automobile for irrigation use. We
will convey people who are figuring
on buying land from either Florence
or to Canon City out to the grounds,
or we will use it for the members of
the company who are in the city from
time to time. o. K. Parker of Los

expert, has been engaged as chief en-
gineer. He is good one and made
all tho original maps aud filings of
the original survey that WAS taken
some months ago.
"We will open selling offices both
in Florence and Canon City and have
regular agencies established. We
expect to sell lot land to Canon and
Florence people. They have been
clamoring for it for some time and it
will be only the matter of short
duration until their longing can be
satisfied. We expect to do consider
able advertising with all the local
papers, too.
''We are not going to push the peo-
pie who buy land of us. We will
ask $50 per acre and expect one tenth
OF the amount down The remainder
is to be paid at the rate of one tenth
every year, which gives the purchas-
er nine years to pay out. We think
this will be an inducemcnt that will

and we don't care how much publi-
city you give it. We have the water
and the land and are ready to do busi-
ness. Florence within the next few
weeks will be Just as lively as bee
hive and her worst days are past.
We have worked hard to bring tho
deal to its present status, but we have
it Mt that point where it is almost
impossible to fall through. Our
scheme is going through and Flor
ence will be the gamer. +"
This is the encouraging statement
made to The Tribune by Vice Presi-
dent Macdonald of the Beaver Land
and Irrigation company and man
the company as any member Of 1t.
Mr. Macdonald is more than enthu-
siastic over the success of the land
and water deal.
"We will have 5000 acres ready
for farming between now and spring
and we expect to get the land ready as
soon as such arrangements are made
for the irrigation of other certain
tracts. We do not propose to let this
scheme go through with the irriga-
tion of only few measly acres, but
expect to continue developing and
making arid land productive for the
next few years.
I'VE have bought outright more
than 5000 acres lying between the
Arkansas river and the foot hills and
from Eight Mile to Beaver. There
is a tract Of thirty thousand acres in
there and we own more shan half OF
it, We have also bought all the
Beaver creek water that was purchas-
ed by the Thatcher interests of Pu-
eblo few months ago and in addi-
tion to this have bought the water
rights belonging to r. X. Potter, J.
| G. Pierce, John Tremaine and others.
Therefore we have enough water to
irrigate all the land we own and then
some. So you can see that the deal
Is not contingent on the water be-
cause that has been arranged for.
