Newspaper Bulwark of Sanity.

Sir James Crichton-Browne, the
British authority on mental and ner-
vous diseases, maintains that the
newspaper is bulwark Of sanity. He
says:
1T is the antidote to corroding ego
tism, and gives worldwide horizon
to the purblind and shortsighted. 1t
is real and earnest in its tragedy and
comedy, while novel is only a make
believe. 1t supplies snacks of biog-
raphy in the form of gossip. 1t man.
,ufactures heroes by the dozen, and 1t
furnishes an easily digestible intel
lectual pabulum. Many man has
been saved from melancholy and ia.
tuity by the daily paper. Suppress
your newspapers and you will have to
enlarge your lunatic asylums.'

WOES OF YOUTHFUL PRINCE.
condign Punishment That Followed
Loss of Temper

What inexhaustible treasures of his
tory, political, administrative, and So
cial, are contained in those acres upon
acres of parchment called the French
Archives! NJ. Jules Lemaitre has
lately unearthed the diary of that
promising heir of Louis XIV. who died
of smallpox in the flower of his youth.
Here is an extract: September, 1898
"A few days ago Monsieur rAbbe
(his tutor, Fenelon) laughed at me be-
cause l blundered in reciting my Vir-
gil. l said to him, Monsieur, correct
me, If you please; but do not make
merry at my expense. There are GER
tain persons who are not to be
laughed at. He continued to tease
me, whereupon l lost my temper and
threw my copy of Virgil in his face
My governor, NJ. de Beauvilliers, was
told of this, and l got for it whipping
at his hands" Further on the boy
adds, But NJ. rAbbe is so fond of me
that henceforth l am determined to
please him to the utmost" The ill

CLEAN MONEY HER HOBBY.
Young Woman Had Distinct Prejudice
Against SoiIed Bills.

She stopped in front of the paying
teller's window and produced wad
of soiled bills
Would you kindly exchange these
notes for clean ones?" she asked, in
response to his polite inquiry as to
what he could do for her.
why, yes, madam, certainly. You
are afraid of the disease germs, sup
pose,' he remarked as he counted out
the amount in new greenbacks and
pushed them over the little brass door
No, not exactly" she smiled. TT
is simply a case of habit. Before l
married l had experience in the bank
ing business as working woman, and
like all in the work, acquired a love
OF fresh bills. l positively refused to
handle anything soiled or worn. 1t
is one of the few things l have had
to regret in married life. The trades
men will give one that kind of tainted
money in making change, usually they
have nothing else in the cash draw
er. AS soon as l can possibly do so.
l hurry to the nearest bank and get
clean ones. These are lovely; they
smell quite like old times. Thank
you SO much. Good morning."

"BREAKFAsT FACE" A FRIGHT.
First Meal of the Day in England Can.

An observant writer in Health says:
"The woman who spends her every aft
ernoon on visits to friends is bound to
develop the tea face The tea face
is frozen vivacity. The eyes have an
uninterrupted sparkle, the head has a
permanent sudden tilt of interest and
expectancy, while the smile looks as If
it had been done up in curl-papers over
night"
One knows that face. 1t is prefer
able, however, to the breakfast face.
The breakfast face is washed vacuity.
The eyes have the sparkle of cold lead,
the head has a weary droop and an
unwillingness to turn either direction,
while the scowl looks as if it had been
left out in the rain all night.
BY the way, l speak merely from
memory. Since the day of my emanci-
patton, some eight years ago, 1 have
carefully avoided that pleasant,

During 1906 the death rate in
'Gilpin county was less than any
year within the rast thirty. The
records show only sixty-four bur-
ials last year and perhaps ten of
these were the bodies of those who
died outside of Gilpin county and
shipped here for interment. In
1905 there were considerable over
Ia hundred deaths. While the
death rate throughout Colorado
showed a decrease in 1906, accord
ing to population there were few
br deaths in Gilpin than any
kounty in the state. Nineteen
hundred and six was an unusually
healthy year in Gilpin county and
in tie entire state.

The people of Gilpin county
appeared very we'll pleased with
last weeks number of the Obser-

three hundred bunch orders of the
mining men, scores of people got
small punches to send to their
acquaintance in outside towns
that they might see the large cut

ing the gulch where gold was first
discovered in Gilpin county.
These views were regarded as
about the best ever taken of Cen

Senator Patterson in Sundays
Denver News answered the
charges made against his paper
and the editorials appearing some
time since written by Livernash,
by the several commercial organi-
cations Of Denver. The senator,
according to the way we construed
the editorial, said practically what
Livernash had said, the only diff
ference being he didn't have the
polish or ability as writer to con-
dense his statements. 1t required
five double columns for him to
say what Livernash said in less
than one.

Denver papers have published
their big New Years editions.
They were big, too, in point of
paper-not in information. The
News, Post and Republican all
had different figures regarding the
output of the mines of Gilpin
county and the dividends they had
paid during the past year. Their
figures were mostly unreliable and
as all three were different, none
could be depended upon for au-
thentic information. The Pueblo
Chieftain as usual got out the
best edition by far of any of the
large dailies of the state.

Greek Emigration Increasing.

Information received by the govern
ment from various Greek provinces in
dicates that the emigration to America
is increasing. A committee of depu-
ties has been appointed to look into
the matter. and it is probable that
measures will be adopted to restrict
and limit emigration from Greece. 1t
is estimated that by the end of the
year the number of those who have
expatriated themselves will reach 90
900. Hitherto emigration has taken
place principally from the Peloponne-
sus, but it is now spreading to central
Greece, to Thessaly and the Islands.

cheeks Altogether she looks like a

all the fascinating ways and the dan

seems possessed of the red-headed

The Loves of Priest and wife.

1t remains to tell how these great
things had come to pass. We must
return to the Isle Rugen and to the
lonely grange on the spit OF sand
which separates the Baltic from the
waters of the Freshwater Haff
Many things have happened there
since Conrad of Courtland, Cardinal
and Archbishop, had awaked to find
by his bedside the sleeping girl who
was his brothers wife. Storms had

A certain gentle sadness passed over
the features of the young man.

BY this time it needed no Peter Alt

now all about save upon the meadow
side, where a lane was kept open.

head to foot, dozen squires and men

come within the square the living

fists were shaken at the grand stand,

About the center platform wherein
the living cross was extended the
crush first grew oppressive and then
dangerous.

Then strong men took slaves and
halberts, and by force of brawny arms
and sharp pricking steel pressed the
people back breast high. The smiths
who had riveted the wristlets and
ankle rings were already busy with
their files. The lashings were cast
loose from the frames. A hundred
hands chafed the white, swollen limbs.
