tabliShed by DIR. PrenuSs was SuDse-
quently moved into the Mcclure house,
now the Strathmore hotel, and was
sold several years later to H. N.
Beecher, and passed successively into
the hands of George Pedley and W.
H. Peabody. DR.. Prentiss built up
splendid professional practice and was
for a long period one of the most
prominent physicians and surgeons in
this section of the country, often driv-
ing fifty miles to see patient. At
that time Fremont county embraced a
ent, taking in all of the territory with
in the borders of what is now Custer
county. DR.. Prentiss was known all
over that large scope of country and
was occasionally called to visit the
sick at some point days journey
from his home. He was especially
successful in surgical work and estab-
lished an enviable reputation for him
self in that line of practice.
In the early days of the Baptist
church, during its struggle to get a
footing in the place, he was the life
and backbone Of the church-a trustee
and an active member Of the choir for
many years.
Being of an inventive and mechani-
cal turn of mind, he was the first man
to conceive the idea of putting water
on Lincoln Park, and the first to carry
out the project. There were many
scoffers who did not deem the plan
practical or feasible. but he went
ahead with his own ideas and the evil
dence of his success can still be seen
in the ditch known as the old pump
ditch on Pump Hill, and In the many
acres of land under cultivation. For
years that ditch was the only means
of irrigation on the Park.
| DR.. Prentiss always had belief
that there was coal on Lincoln Park
and in 1889 he sunk shaft near the
corner of Elm avenue and Ninth
street. The coal was found and was
of a good quality while it lasted, but
the supply was not as great as sup
posed and the mine was soon closed.
DR.. Prentiss was always interested in
mines and mining, and took part In
the developing of Leadville and Grip
pie Creek, being one of the original
locators Of the Legal Tender mine in
the latter place.
The doctor was always an advocate
of the public schools and Of education
in general. For years he was presi-
dent of the school board and when the
Colorado College and Military Insti-
tute was established here he was one
of the trustees and a staunch support
er of it.
He was physician of the penitentiary
for five years and was charter mems
ber of Greenwood Post No. 10, G. A.
R., having joined that organization
April 20, 1888. He was the owner OF
the Hot Springs Hotel and Sanitarium
at the entrance to the Royal Gorge
and for several years has given his
personal attention to the management
of the property. Few men were as
we'll informed in relation to the min
eral and agricultural resources of the
Arkansas valley. and the Canon City
district in particular, as DR.. Prentiss,
and he did much to advertise the min
eraI waters of this region.
/ DR.. Prentiss was married three
times and is survived by wife and
four sons, viz: George A. Prentiss of
this city, E. L. Prentiss Of Denver,
James H. Prentiss of Ann Arbor, Mich,
and Marion Prentiss of Seattle, Wash.

One on the Teacher,

Among the corps of instructors in one of Washington's high schools is a woman highly esteemed as teacher of American history. The class under her care had under consideration one day topics concerning the civil war when one volunteered, in illustration of some point, lurid account of bat tie in which. he claimed, an uncle of his had participated.
 The teacher interposed to observe that the anecdote could hardly be cor rect, as the uncle in question was near her own age and she was not born un- til after the close of the war.
 At this the boy seemed a trifie cha grined at being so evidently in the wrong. After a few moments of em- barrassed silence he said. with the naive air of one who has much the best of the situation:

A BRONZE STATUE.
The Model, tho Core and the Pouring
 of the Metal

The Model, the Core and the Pouring
 of the Metal.
 Immense pains and immense labor attend the production of bronze stat ue of any size even after the artist has done his work" remarks a sculptor.
 "To begin with. the plaster model has to be completely covered with small Jumps of special kind of sand. sometimes as many as 1,5O0 to 2,000 of these pieces being required. After these blocks of sand are dry they are taken off the cast one at time and carefully put together to form the mold. The latter is then filled with clay, and the same operation is again gone through, facsimile of the plas- ter cast being thus obtained.
 Then comes the most delicate part of the whole work. The clay model, or 'core,' as it is technically called, has to have q quarter of an inch taken off it's entire surface, which, as may readily be imagined, is anything but easy, especially if the subject be at all or nate.
 "The core is then again put into the mold-which has of course to be recon structed once more-being kept exact ly in the center by means of iron rods.
 "The molten bronze Is then poured in from the top, completely filling the space between the core and the mold. After it has cooled the latter is again removed and the clay interior extract ed. when the statue, somewhat rough and needing slight touching up, is revealed. ."-Cassell's Journal Fsw

 am always embarrassed when ask ed by foreigners to give the definition of the word .bourgeois," which is gen. erally emphasized disdainfully. The dictionary defines it as common, with out distinction" It is not exactly that. Bourgeoisism, like provincialism. is a mentality. It represents a kernel with out the pulp and emanates from the shell of the dinner pot. It is one of the props of society. Props are never beau- tiful nor graceful. Without it, however, the world could not retain its equilib- rum, yet with it alone the world could not progress. It gives to indi- viduals the impenetrab bility of a shell. One often finds its characteristics in persons who have received good edu- cation, in those who possess superior culture, who have taste and a sense of beauty. It betrays itself by mean and narrow ideas. by implacable intoler- ance, by stubborn blindness and, above all by an incapacity to understand liberty or to accord it generously. This mentality creates. certain at mosphere which is felt at once. The workman, the peasant. the artist, are not bourgeois. could name king who is much more so than many of the residents of our worst districts. Napo- leon I. was bourgeois; Napoleon III. was not. Balzac. Maupassant, were not bourgeois; Zola was. England, Italy, Spain. are not bourgeois. Germany is. but her emperor is not, and so one might continue indefinitely. - From Mime.
