Getting the First Thousand.

z Denver Republican,: Get the first
$1,000. After that money making is
easy" This the old-time sage advice
of the hard-headed self made man.
That axiom has set many men to saw
ing. They fix upon that sum as the
glittering, far-off herald of a fortune
some time to be made. To man on a
small salary-a salary, say, out of
which something can be saved weekly
without too much depriyation-th adj
vice is good. There is something in
1T that acts as stimulus to economy.
And who will deny that economy is a
good thing or that any truth that lights
the way TO it should not be known?
Many men, therefore, have been bouy-
ed up in their economies by the be-
lief that the first 81 900 is the hardest
to get and that afterward all the rest
would be easy and the good things of
the world that follow a bounteous sup
ply of money would be within easy
reach.

Sage aims to make men better and
happier. While the statement that
end sought is "the Improvement Of

the ground Of vagueness. it Is evident
from the ensuing explanation that

been carefully thought out Mrs.

by noble desire to devote this large
sum Of money intrusted to her for disc

works that would reach the source of

help to those who for whatever reason
are not always able 10 help themselves.

Bathers say the skirt is a bother, any

tendency, however, toward scantier

MRS GUNTHER
 Is ACQUITTED Was Not Fined When Ar raigled in Justice Cheek S Court ozl a Charge of Mis- treating Her Children
ALL CHARGES DENIED
Husband Acted as Her Counsel and Cross Questioned Witnesses--Doc- tor HankinsOn Testifies Other Testimony.

Mrs. Mary Gunther, wife of the East Sixth avenue grocer, who was arr ast- 1 ed yesterday on a charge of assaail i'and battery, it being alleged that she
 mistreated two small children of de- ceased sister, was acquitted when ar raigned before Justice l.. E. Cheek yesterday afternoon.
 Justice Cheek, who permitted the
 women to go on her own recognizance
 after being served with the warrant, informed Mrs. Gunther that he would not fine her, but that he would recall the case if any further complaints were made against her for alleged mistre atment of the small children in her care. Judge Jones, who repre- sented the state, did not insist on a fine, but believed that the incident
 would serve as a good example for
 the foster mother and others in the future.
 Mrs. Gunther's husband acted as her attorney in the justice court. He cross questioned witnesses like a full fedg-
 ed lawyer and succeeded in getting several of the witnesses considerably tangled in their testimony. Doctor o. c. Hankinson, who attended Mrs. Gun ther during her recent illness, testi- fled that Mrs. Gunther always treated the children we'll and motherly, as far as he ever observed. He said she was sick woman and that sometimes the little boy in her care needed spank ing' to quiet him.
 Mrs. c. E. Yowell testified that Mrs. Gunther beat one of the children with a board four inches wide, one inch thick and two and a half feet long MT. Gunther, as counsel for his wife, attempted to show that if his wife had attacked the child and struck him with all her might, as testified, she would have maimed him, notwith- standing the fact that she was not very strong Mrs. Yowell stuck to her statement however and other witness es testified that Mrs. Gunther had giv- en the children unme rciful whippings Mrs. Gunther denied the statements however and her testimony was cor roborated by MT. Gunther.
 MT. and Mrs. Gunther are raising the children, their mother having died. They are not compelled to care for the children, they say, but are doing so out of goodness of heart and add that they have never mistreated them
