Denver.-Final consummalion of the

they now have the legal title vested in
them.
1t is interesting to recall the facts
in connection with the acquisition of
Estes park by Lord Dunraven 1t was
his original intention to create great
game preserve similar to those in the
Highlands of Scotland and in the west
of Ireland, by the acquisition of all the
land in Estes park, but owing to the
difficulties confronting him with set
tiers, he was reluctantly constrained
to abandon the scheme.
Had he been permitted to exercise a
free hand the results would have been
most advantageous to this state, for
the influx of numbers of the English
nobility and aristocracy bent upon
sport, would have advertised Colorado
all over the world. and the expendi-
ture of large sums of money in i'm
porting Irish Thoroughbred and
winger game. must of necessity have
created desire on the part of the
best sportsmen on the other side of
the Atlantic and in the East to pay
the park periodical visits, until 1t
would have become the most attrac
tive hunting ground in the West AS
it is now. its development ms sum
mer resort which will equal Davos
Platz, is being pushed rapidly forward
by the new owners, and as they pos
sess both the finances and the enter
prise. it is almost safe to predict that
the park will ultimately become one
of the greatest charms of this state.
With the new roads, which have
been constructed under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Stanley, and the
lines of steam automobiles which he
himself has inaugurated. the time re-

again through the redemption of notes.
After his retirement Mr.. Cleveland
became one of the foremost citizens of
the nation. He came into extraordl-
nary popularity. in view of the harsh
criticism that was directed at him dur
ing his tenure of office. He took no
pains to attain this popularity but 1t
seemed that the people came to I'M

At the Ege of forty-eight Mr.. Cleve-
land married Frances Folsom. daugh-

Folsom. Mrs. Cleveland was one OF

domestic life was one of model happi-

woods. hoping to decoy them SO deeply
into the interior that he might. turning
suddenly and straightly. gain time for
his desperate sprint across the expos

Baker and Johnson would take care
of him there.
Black returned the fire vengefully.
A bullet scraped his horses flank. His
hat was shot from his head. He turned
savagely in his saddle with yell OF
defiance.

The fusillade was furious, but the
trees and branches proved Black s
friends. 1t was impossible to Judge

Another bullet sang and purred
through the foliage, and the horse fell.

For answer Jim sent another bullet
whistling forward. Black. rising from
his fallen horse, fell back.

He spurred forward.

says:
MIR. Cleveland's success was his in
tegrity. his courage and his common
sense within the radius Of his mental
vision. Impatient of restraint, he had
a leaning towards the lowly and dis
trust of the official great; somewhat
over-quick to resent advices and to re
gard it as an intrusion. In point of
fact he was a sympathetic though not
an emotional or effusive man, and as
sensitive as a woman.

Local Comment

The prosperous business man,
touched to the heart by reports of pow
erty and distress. was somewhat con-
scious stricken when, upon inquiry to
the mission workers for the names of
some needy person, received the adj
dress of the woman who scrubs out his
office every week. We are all of US
generously inclined, but what we need
is more personal and human interest
in our charity. 1t is our business to find
out about those in our own vicinity,
in our own residence block. That is
why Judge Battin noticed more con-
sideration for the poor in Marshall
town in 1860 than now. Marshalltown
was village then and everybody was
a kind neighbor intimately acquainted
with all of his neighbors.
Some of the merchants, when dis
cussing the gas question in this city,
have suggested that if the local com
pany would make an effort to take care
of the business which it might have from
the stores on Main street in which pri-
vate lighting plants are now operated.
