REVOLUTION IS
 ENDED IN HAITI
LEADER OF MOVEMENT IS CAP TURED BY THE GOVERNMENT TROOPS AND IS IMMEDIATELY SHOT TO DEATH.

Port au Prince, January 25.-The revolu- ton has been suppressed. Jean Juneau, the leader of the movement, was captured at Desplaines a little hamlet close to Gonaives, and was at once shot to death by the government troops that made him prisoner. Gonaives has been occupied by 8 government force.
 The revolutionary movement in Hayti, which has come to an end with the execu- tion of it's leading spirit, Jean Juneau, was of very short duration. It began with the landing on January 15, of an expedi- ton of adventurers on the Haytien coast not far from Gonaives, which was speed fly occupied. The Haytien government at once undertook measures to suppress the movement and troops were dispatched against the invaders. The American gum boat Eagle was sent to Hayti and the navy department stood ready to send two other warships should occasion require. President Nord was on the point of bomb- arding St. Marie where the revolution ists had been, but was not permitted by the American minister. The royolution- ists received another setback by the ar rest in New York city several days ago, of Jose St. Pierre Giordani, the agent of the insurgents, on the charge of counter feiting the paper money of the Haytien government

There ls no concealment about that Besides the delegations themselves, visitors flock to political convention. Nowadays a con- yention is by no means discussion and choice of candidates and a framing of platform-it has become a remarkable spectacle. Provision for the crowds of ''rooters' is made with no less care than for the delegates.
 Then there are innumerable ''frills, which go along with every convention receptions and parades and sightseeing parties and such like. The enthusiastic Denverite will tell you that his town Is strong on these.
 First of all they take the stranger to the basement of the capitol and show him tablet which marks a point exactly one mile above sea level. This fact of the citys altitude is its chief pride-the foun- dation stone for all the other pleasant things which can be said about Denver. Next in importance is the death rate. which, unlike Denver's level, is very low. In 1900 it was only 1.3 per cent, and some years it is lower than that. The average number of clear days a year Is s14.

Columbus.

nothing when the United States govern Dent decided to, have trans-continental railroad built across the great plains and the Rockies. Backed by the government, the Union Pacific railroad was begun, stopped and begun again All sorts of obstacles were encountered, but the en- gipeers and work gangs kept pushing on. Finally they got to Denver from both directions.
 Since then the growth of the city and the growth of the railroad have kept pace with one another. Through bank ruptcy and congratulations the Union Pa cific passed, until in 1898. the present man agement took hold and began the work which has put the railroad in it's present efficient condition. Over on the same plains that the prairie schooners" tray ersed in '49 now passes the long trains Of Pullman cars The 40 miners were glad to make five miles an hour with their wagon trains; now the traveller is carried to- ward the mountains at 50 miles an hour.
 Growth of Denver.
 Settlement and civilization followed tho rails As fact as the railroad was ex- tended, so fast grew up villages, towns and cities In the first six months after the advent of the railroad S1,OOO00O worth of real estate was sold in Denver on rising values The mining of silver and gold continued with unremitting steadi- ness. Soon the era of building was In ful swing, and even now shows no signs Of ending. In quarter of century Denver has become famous for It's wealth and health and beauty.
 By getting the democratic convention" said a Denver man in Washington last month, Denver Is serving notice of it's importance to the country" When the democrats see how well their pow-wow turns out they'll never want to have one anywhere else. Then the republicans will be eager for Denver too, and we'll have both conventions regularly after that. Why not? There's no other place that can take care of the delegates as well or make them as comfortable"

You do not hear much about the
sale Of your book; your friends say
nothing about it, but perhaps they
are keeping its phenomenal success
secret from you. You live in the
country, and you never see the Book
man, so you do not know what the
six best sellers are, but you have
your suspicious. AT last the fate
full day arrives, the familiar envelope
of your publisher comes to you by
mail, and as you open 1t check fiut-
ters out. You remember the stories
OF du Maurier and "Trilby," and how
his publishers sent him several thou
sands over and above the contract
agreement.
To be sure. 1t is only a check, and
not money, but. after all, any bank
will convert check into money IL
you are known, and your book has
doubtless made you known through
the wide world.
You pick up the check and close
your eyes until you are holding 1t

appointment is over, you reflect that
1t is all clear gain. and you go to
the bank and have 1t converted into
new dollar bills, and then you go down
town TO the bookstore and you buy
thirty odd books that you have wanted
for years.
No. you don't You know very we'll
you don't, for the same mail that
brought the check brought its antith-
esis in the form of a bill from the
gentleman who raised the price of
beef on you, and the other gentleman
who charged you eight dollars ton
for coal. and like a good little man
you sit down and you write out two
checks which take up AZ of the dollars.

it be, remains in the memory long

II is a queer thing about gratitude.
Her thanks for the first bill would be
heartfelt. but by the time had reached
the first hundred she would have
grown tired OF thanking me. and I
verify believe that before l had hand
ed in the last bill she would have
asked me II couldn't be little more
expedient. Thus usage dulls the
senses.
On the other hand do you suppose
that IL were sued for thousand dol
lars | would pay the complainant In

times. no, would purposely buy the
smallest blank check that could find,
aud In my most minute chirography,

and before We start out | give him
money to cover the expenses, and he
buys the tickets and feel that have

One objection l have to royalties is
that they always come In the form of
a check-when they come at all. One
time, though, my publisher varied It;
Instead OF sending check he sent
bill. You see, l had given at least
ten copies of the book at Christmas
time, and, of course, the balance was
In his favor. Do you know, l really
enjoyed the thing for a change.
By the way, that receiving of royal
ties, even II they are paid in check
form, is a good game. You sell your
stories for so much, and then, when
they are all printed, you are induced
to make a book of them. Well, you
have already been paid for them, so
that you stand to gain, whatever hap
pens. 1t may be only ten dollars
that will come to you, but 1t may be
$4,000. and the Joy of looking
forward to royalty day is one
that cannot be expressed in words.
