Tho Kindness of the Poor.

The old adage that the poor are the
best friends Of the poor was instanced
IN the story of a chambermaid, who Is
young widow with two children to
support. After a lingering sickness the
younger OF the children died, and, the
young mothers bank account having
been depleted from defraying the ex-
penses Of the weeks Of medicine and
doctors visits, she was obliged to con-
tract debt at the undertaker's. After
that she paid small monthly Install
ment until the bill was half settled,
when one day there came through the
mail receipt for the remainder. The
receipt was accompanied by a badly
written and blotted note from a scrub
woman in a large uptown hotel, who
knew Of the trouble, knew the family
and the circumstances and in her note
explained that she had no family nor
near relatives and that she earned
enough to support herself and that she
wanted to use this surplus money for
the little mother, who needed all that
she could make extra to support the
remaining child, AS scrubwomen re-
ceive only 80 or 10 cents day, one
will readily appreciate the spirit which
moved one kind soul to help another
in distress.-Leshe's Weekly. ti III

People swear because they do not

anything with common words. No

Denver's Population.

Uncle Sam has given Denver the
worst of 1t in estimating her popula-
tion for last year, the figures being
but about $4,000, says the Denver
News. The Denver city directory
for last year contained nearly $4,000
names, and on a basis of but two
people for each name the city would
now have 10000 population. The
Forthcoming directory will contain
many more names than last year. and
the enormous building Indicates that
the city has grown so that 100000
would be more accurate estimate
of the city's population at the pres
ent time.
