Th" Sea Of Peaks.

From the Denver Republican.
Billows that never break,
Great waves that never roar,
Firm strands that never shake
Motionless sea and shore.

Kissing not in the breeze;
Cloud ships that come and go,
Wraithlike, Ger silent Seas.

When ends thy mystery?
When shall thy breakers speaks
Startling eternity?

USES FOR CIGAR BANDS.
Unique Decorations Are Applied to

There seems to be no end to the

cigar band decorations might be
pasted. but now there are complete
smoking sets of glass to be lined with

were used IN covering the backs OF
al these articles, and the amount Of
natience necessary to flt together so
many small bits of color into such an
intricate design seems far out OF pro.

Dand ornaments are curious and in.
genious. but not even the inventor OF

Same for them.
This craze has taken such a hold
upon the public that genuine cigar
bands are now hard to obtain. and to
supply the increasing demand manu-
'acturers of the bands have begun
making limitations. which are sold by

some cases exactly like the genuine
