SWELL DOINGS TAXING PLACE
IN CANON CITY ORCHARDS

Miss Spring. fairest daughter of the
calendar, is having swell doings for
the buds of the season in the orchards
of the Canon City district. The affair
will probably last for several weeks
as it will be impossible for all of the
blossom sisters to arrive at the same
time, although the warm weather of
the last few days has brought them
here in troops.
Among the first to materialize was
Miss Peach Blossom, a charming lit
tie thing, who spent the winter months
in retirement because of death in the
family last year. She remained here
only short time, taking her depar-
ture last week to the realms of the
unknown, but was succeeded by her
handsome sister, Miss Pear Blossom
and Miss Cherry Blossom, who now
hold sway. although rival for public
favor has appeared in the person Of
Miss Apple Blossom, whose pink and
White beauty is of most bewitching
character. These Blossom sisters are
the grandmothers of the goddess Po-
mona, by whose bounty millions of
dollars annually find their way into
the pockets of the people of Colorado.
Long may they hold high carnival in
our orchards and gardens.

ATTORNEYS HERE WEDNESDAY
TO PLAN WATER CAMPAIGN

A conference OF the attorneys repre-
senting the water boards of Pueblo
and the commercial organizations of
salida and Canon City, was held at
the offices of Messrs. Waldo, Dawson
G. Stump here Wednesday for the pur-
pose of deciding upon the line of pro-
cedure to be followed in their efforts
to compel by legal process an aban-
donment of the placer mining at Gran
ite because of its pollution Of the
waters of the Arkansas river.
There was present at the confer
ence John A. Martin of Pueblo, Wal
lace Scheduled and Judge c. E. Wal
do. The matter was thoroughly dis
cussed in all of its aspects and sub
stantial progress made in the case.
All of the preliminaries have not yet
been worked out and until they are
the matter cannot be taken into the
courts for adjudication.
It is the opinion of those who have
looked into the case that the people Of
the three cities mentioned have good
grounds for action, and If the attor-
neys are backed up in the fight it is
more than probable that they will sue
ceed in the matter.
The undertaking is difficult one
and will no doubt arouse keen op-
position on the part of the defendants
who have vested rights in the prem
ises. 1t Is reported by Mr. Schoolfield
that the company which operated the
placers last year has surrendered it's
lease and it is not known who will
have charge of the property this sea-
son, and, until the new lessees, which
will be made one of the parties in de-
fense, can be ascertained it will be
useless to appeal to the courts for an
abatement of the trouble complained
Of. Both the company owning the
property, and its lessees, will be made
defendants in the proceeding.
Just where the case will be brought
has not yet been determined, but it
seems more than likely that it will be
instituted in the Chaffee county dis
trict court, as the placers, which are
the source of annoyance, are located
in that county. 1t is possible, how
ever, that the case will be tried pri-
marily in the United States district
court, owing to the fact that the COM
pany is an alien corporation. While
the attorneys have nothing definite 20
give the press at this time in regard
to the matter it may be stated that
preparation for the suit is being made
by the complainants and that the out
look for ultimate success Is more en-
couraging now than at any previous
time.
A great deal of data pertaining to
the matter has been accumulated and
many points of law looked up. Just
as soon as few necessary details
can be settled prosecution will be be-
gun.

1t was said in the Norton family that

he failed to appreciate the vocal eff
forts of his niece Margaret. But if
his ears were defective his pocketbook

take lessons and practice regularly.

Percentages In Shopping.

"There goes one of the per cent
said a conversational f1oorwalker in a
big department store as he indicated
a slender, active woman who was max
ing rapidly for the street.
"You must be right, of course" re-
marked his visitor, "but what do you
mean"
''Why, divide women shoppers into
four classes-frst, those who do not in
tend to buy; second, those who intend
to buy, but don't know what they
want; third, those who know what
they want when they leave home, but
become absolutely confused when they
get among the goods, and, fourth,
those who know all the time what
they want, go direct and get it and
get out as soon as possible.
"The fourth class, don't you know.

Not As LIZ ReSd.


A certain NJ. F., as proud and fond
as a man should be of his beautiful
young wife, was just about rising to
speak in debate when telegram was
put into his hands. He read 1t, left
the house, jumped into cab, drove to
Charing Cross and took the train to
Dover. Next day he returned home,
rushed into his wife's bedroom and.
finding her there, upbraided the aston
ished lady in no measured terms. She
protested her ignorance of having done
anything to offend him.
"Thep what did you mean by your
telegram he asked.
Mean? What | said, of course.
What are you talking about?"
Read it for yourself" said he.
She read: Il flee with Mr.. X. to Do
yer straight. Pray for me-
For the moment words would not
come. Then, after merry fit Of laugh

ed:
ooh, those dreadful telegraph people.

dear. l telegraphed simply: 4 tea with
Mrs. X. in Dover street. Stay for

When Does Reason Dawn?

AS there must be point back along
the line of our descent where con-
seriousness began-consciousne in the
animal and self consciousness in man
so there must be a point where real
son began. If we had all the missing
links in the chain no doubt we might
approximately at least determine the
point or the form in which it first
dawned. The higher anthropoid apes.
which are. no doubt, a lateral branch
Of the stem Of the great biological tree
that bore man, show occasional CLEANS
of it, but reason, as we ascribe it to
the lower orders, is more a kind of
symptOmatic reason, vague foreshad-
owing Of reason rather than the sub
stance itself. For long time the child
is without reason or any mental con-
cepts, and all it's activities are reac-
tons to stimuli, like those of an ami
NAL. 1t is merely a bundle of instincts,
but by and by it begins to show some
thing higher, and we hail the dawn of
reason and it's development from the
animal plane into the human.-John

Chinese Sarcasm.

Once in awhile you meet a common
Chinaman who has some of the native
wit Of his country. One such has a
laundry in Lexington avenue, not far
from Twenty-third street The other

customer: You no pay? Then you pa
per tigerv' 1 asked what he meant by
paper tiger" and he replied, "Oh. in
China a paper tiger is a BLACKBOARD
who blows much, but is harmless!
He added: when a man is very proud
of himself what Americans call stuck
up we compare to rat falling into
scale and weighing itself. When a
Chinaman overdoes a thing we say he
is a hunchback making bow. The

French Schools.

The quality of the secular fnstruc-
ton in the French schools seemed to
me extraordinarily high. It happened,
for example, that l was taken into a
classroom where a lesson in English
was being given to some French boys
of sixteen, mostly the sons of opera
tives. The exercise was: conducted in
excellent English, which the pupils
seemed to speak almost as readily as
the teacheT, and the point under dis
cussion when l visited the class was
one which would have puzzled Har-
ward freshmen. 1t was the distinction
in meaning between the words priest
a Catholic ecclesiastic; clergyman-an
Anglican, and minister-a dissenter.
In American schools, or, rather. in the
results of the instruction there Afford
ed, | have never come across the
teaching of any foreign language
which compared in efficiency with the
teaching Of English in secondary
schools throughout France. And to all
appearances this was only one exam
pie of the thoroughness and the vitali-
ty of French teaching in all it's branch
es.-Barrett Wendell in France Of To-

An Arab HONEYMOON.

For seven days after the wedding
the Arab bride and bridegroom are
supposed not to leave their room. The
bride may see none of her own family
and only the women folk of her hus
bands, who wait on her. She remains
in all her wedding finery and paint and
does absolutely nothing. The bride
groom generally slips out at night aft
er three days and sees a few friends
privately, but he persistently hides
from his wife's family, and should be
by accident meet his father-in-law be-
fore the seven days are over he turns
his back and draws his burnous, or
haik, over his face. This is their view
of honeymoon, and they grow as
weary of it as any European couple do

a Paris RESTAURANT.

The Partisan men are not likely to
grumble at being asked to dine in
dress clothes in any particular London
restaurant, for they have in Paris one
dining place where this unwritten law
has always been enforced. No man
ever goes to dine at the Armenonville
in the Bots de Boulogne without put
ting on his dress clothes. Why fash
ion has decreed that a Frenchman may
dine at any of the boulevard restau-
rants in tenue de vile, but must wear
a swallowtail coat when he drives to
the big park of Paris to dine, no one
knows. 1t is custom. and there to a
Partisan is the end Of it.-Bellman.

Under the laws of Kentucky the

holding a term Of circuit court, and
when the case of the commonwealth

had not, and Judge Jones asked him
what he wanted to do about his case,
which was charge of gaming.

'just a nickel or dime on the corner"
'Well, Daniel" said the judge, Il
will see your dime and raise you 500"
Daniel looked rather crestfallen for
a moment; but, catching the force of
the judges remark, he quickly looked
up at the judge and said, swell, judge,

A .Seman.s Complexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or ''local'' treatment, as advocated
by the ''beauty Doctors" The only
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat OF disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
