WHEN 1T SNAPS;
THE LAST LINK

(By Rev. Thos. B. Gregory
When 1t snaps-that last link
the sensation that comes over one Is
almost mortally depressing.
Was it not Campbell who wrote the
Last Man" And is it not easy for
him who hears the swapping of the
last link-the last link binding him

hands took hold of you, little lump

voice trembling with joy exclaimed.
"A man child is born unto rs. Let
us rejoicei"
1t was the hands of your father
that so held you. and it was your
fathers voice that proclaimed the
happy news of your advent into the
strange bitter-sweet that men call
life.
For years those hands pressed you
close to the heart that loved you,
and that voice crooned to you pat

You grew to manhood. had trials

But the dear old father lived on,
a hale. hearty, happy old man, low

as ever. and the love was returned,

heart of a man of so was still tender
ly full of the old memories, and you
felt as warmly toward him as you did
when a little boy upon his knee.
And the dear old man sent for you
one day and told you that he was
going, and the dear old withered
hands again took hold of yours, and
the old familiar voice, trembling now
with age. bade you Goodbye" and
your best friend was no more.
The last link was brokeni Des-

and comrade, but no longer have you

hands like those that half a century
ago held you up to your mothers

THE WAY TO HELP COLORADO.

The way to help Colorado is to put
into effect some of the many sugges
tions that from time to time are made
10 utilize or develop its resources.
Newspapers may discuss and cham.
bers of commerce advocate projects
recognized as wise, but nothing wills
come to them and no good will result
II they are not placed upon practical
business basis.
One might name a score of things
which If done would promote the in
dustrial development or the improve
ment in other respects of the state.
In fact suggestions of this kind have
been made times without number, and
yet few of the men who read do more
than approve. They do not act They
do not organize companies, for in
stance, TO carrying into practical eff
feet any suggested scheme.
Take the matter of hotels at noun
tain resorts, for instance. Every Colo
rado man recognizes that tourist tray
Ell to this state will never attain the
proportions it should until all import
ant places in the mountains which
might for considerations of health or
because OF scenic attractions be made
popular resorts are supplied with good
hotel accommodations. The subject
has been discussed innumerable times,
and yet little effort is put forth to
bring about the conditions desired.
1t would seem TO be an entirely prac-
ticable business proposition to organ
iZe a company to erect hotels at all
the mountain resorts where they are
needed, and thus one of the most wide
ly recognized needs OF the state could
be supplied.
This is presented solely by way Of
illustration. There may be serious OBJ
stacles In the way OF such scheme.
Nevertheless 1t is by that kind of work
that theories concerning the improve
ment of conditions could be given prac-
teal effect. Both the state and the
city need the development Of projects
to make concrete some OF the sugges-
tions which In many instances have
been little more than dreams.-Den-
yer Republican.
