UNUSUAL NAMES ON SIGNS.
Many to Be Seen in the National Cap
itaI and Elsewhere.

Some day, when l get time" said
Representative Ryan, of Buffalo, re.
Gently as he seated himself in a COM
Portable chair in the Republican cloak
room and applied a light to a long
black cigar, Il intend to write a mag
azine article or something on bust
ness and professional signs"
Mr.. Ryan said that the jotting down
OF odd and unusual anne he beheld
on signs had become quite a fad with
him.
Frequently" he continued, 1.-THE
names on the doors of business places
are exceedingly appropriate, and then,
again, they are quite the reverse. For
instance, I have often noticed on my
way to the capitol the sign of a to-
b%acconist. 1t is Plugge. Another
speaking sign is that of Needle, q
tailor. DAILY & Knightly, on another
street, that they are en-
gagged In the business Of plumbing.
Yet in spite of their implied willing
ness to attend to the wants of their
customers at all hours, l understand
that their establishment Is closed
promptly at six o'clock every evening.
"Barnwell Robinson is a veterinary
surgeon, and his name should appeal
to the owners of live stock. There is a
tailor on a side street by the name OF
MakeOver. A man by he name or
Garden is a florist, and | have been
told of a saloon over in East Wash
ingtOn conducted by a man named
Booze, a very appropriate name. Re
minds me of a similar place in my
town of Buffalo kept by a German
named Sauerwein! But / new could
understand why two Of my cOnstitu-
ents at home, Drinkwine and Mumm,
by name, formed a partnership and
opened a tonsorial parlor instead OF q
sample room. Overturf would seem
to be a very appropriate name for a
real estate dealer, and a gentleman
Of that name in Buffalo appears to be
doing a thriving business in that line.
when Representative Steele, OF
the Hoosier state, vas defeated
for reelection he formed a law
partnership with a man named
Robb. OF course, there is moth
ing in a name, but-er-Robb &
Steele does not seem to have exactly
the proper sound for a firm of at
torneys. And | don't know that an
other sign, Chew, Chew, Chew, At
torneys at Law sounds much better.
When I get the time shall prepare a
brochure on this subject. In the mean
time, l should like TO know how the
firm of Irish G English, in Buffalo,,
got mixed up; English is Irish, and
Irish is English, The matter would
almost seem to warrant a diplomatic
inquiry"

Accusation a New One.

Secretary William Loeb, who car

A PLEASANT
SOCIAL Event

Thursday evening the members of
the Grace Dale class indulged in what
might be termed a Halloween birth
day party" held in the dining room OF
the First Presbyterian church.
The invitations had requested that
each guest dress to represent her
birth month and some of the costumes
were particularly pretty. Small silk
bags resembling pumpkins had also
been provided, in which each was to
place half as many cents as her years
and the sum thus accumulated will
be put to good use at Christmas time.
The walls we're most artistically
decorated with figures of witches and
bats and wierd light of jack-o-lan-
terms and pumpkin colored shades
gave one a creepy recollection of the
season.
Upon her arrival. each guest re-
ceived a number and soon numbered
slips were distributed and all pro-
ceeded to guess the months repres-
ented. After this the fortune of each
month was read.
In a game where each in turn was
blindfolded, Miss Clara Bancroft re-
ceived a prize for successfully pinning
a bow on the meet of black cat
fastened to the wall.
Later, the lights were turned out
and in the dim glow of the jack-o-
lanterns and candles in the pumpkin
shell candlesticks. the company shiv-
cred over ghost stories while the
apples and popcorn went round.
Miss McCray OF Iowa. the guest of
Miss Florence Maple. was the only

A woman's goal Is usually love and

hair. The loss Of her hair mars her

right here in Canon City. there are
thousands OF women who are neglect

extent that 1t is only matter OF time
when 1t will be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance of certain facts. They use
curling irons over-heated, or to ex-
cess, which destroys the natural oil of
the hair. causing 1t to split. break and
come out. They do not shampoo their
hair often enough. or too often. They
use soaps or preparations which con-

letter of more than ordinary interest
from Jonathan X. Taylor of Baltimore.

pany of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Taylor says that he visited Can
on City as a member of the Williams
editorial party from New York thirty
two years ago, and was so much i'm
pressed with the town and its sur
roundings that he has been interested
in it ever since, although he has new
er been back here. He desires that
some account of Canon City. with the
number of it's inhabitants, the extent
of it's manufacturs, etc., be sent him,
as he predicted at the time of his
visit here that the place had q great
future and he Is anxious to learn
whether his prophesy has been full
filled or not.
In referring to his trip here Mr..
Taylor says:
There were about fifty of US In
the party end the terminus of the rail-
road was. perhaps. a mile and half
from the town. The committee met us
in carriages and took us to the hotel,
where a splendid banquet was served.
In the afternoon we were taken for .
trip to the top of the Royal Gorge for
a view of the famous canon. This trip
was indelibly fixed on my mind and I
then said that the people Of the town
could not help making a great city Of

almost impossible trail to the summit
Of Pixies Peak and stood in line at the
Denver post office on very hot day
