Why He Was There.

She said it was shame, an out
rage. She was a timid, reserved
girl, who gave no man encourage
ment to firt, yet
"There is that man." she said,
"bothering the very life out Of me.
I don't know how many times he has
seen me in the street somewhere and
has followed me right up to the
door. The next time he annoys me
I shall get the hallboy to order him
away"
She had occasion to speak to the
hallboy the next evening.
"Do you see that man in the YES
tibule lighting cigar?" she said.
"I wish you would order him away"
81 can't" said the boy.
"But you must" she said angrily.
"He has no business to be hanging
around here"
pardon me, but he has business
here" said the boy. ole lives on

Work on New Courthouse.

Arrangements have now been
perfected under which the new
courthouse will be pushed to
completion.
r. G.. Kirsch, architect of the
structure and who also had the
contract for its erection, has
now associated with him in the
work Gillcoat & Skinner, con-
tractors of Dallas.
The bond for the construction
according to the original plans
was approved by the Commits
sioners' court Monday.
Some of the brick is already
on the ground, the cement and
other needed material is in
transit and will be ready in a
few days to not only resume
work, but to continue it until
the building is ready for occu-
pancy.
The court has appointed Com
missioner S. B. Lotion to look
after the construction in behalf
of the county and he, acting with
the county Judge, is empowered
to call in the services of an ex-
pert should it, in their combined
judgment, be deemed necessary.
Canyon City may now rest as
Sured that the new courthouse
will now go up without any fur
ther delays.

DEFIES ATTACK.
The Wonderful Strong Room Under t'ss
Bank Of England.

There is close analogy between
the struggle of the locksmith against
the burglar and the contest between
armor plate and big guns. Time aft
er time has the locksmith exhausted
his ingenuity in devising apparently
impenetrable chambers, and again
and again have the marvellous skill
and patience of the burglar foiled
his efforts.
A hundred years ago the Bank of
England kept its cash and securities
in great oak box clamped with
iron. From this the strong room of
today, constructed of armor plate,
has been gradually evolved.
If a mob overcame the guards and
swatch clerks" at the Bank of Eng
land, they could not possibly pene-
trate into the vaults, for their pas
sage would be blocked by large reser-
voirs of water. The strong room
here is one Of the largest in the
world. The foundation, sixty-six
feet below street level, is bed of
concrete twenty feet thick.
Above this concrete is a lake sew
en- feet deep, and above that thick
plates of iron specially manufac-
tured to resist both skill and force.
Any one attempting an entrance
from above would find a similar bed
of concrete, similar lake and SINH
lar plates of iron. The walls are i'm
penetrable, while the doors are one
foot thick, weigh four tons each and
are made absolutely undrillable.
Many years ago, when the strong
room was less vigorously protected,
the directors were startled one
morning by letter from a man who
said he had been in the vault.
Some days later a heavy chest,
which had been distracted from the
treasury" was returned to the bank
by the writer of the letter, who had
gained entrance from the sewers.
He was rewarded and given a pen
sion for life.
I In the safe deposit, which has be-
come a necessary adjunct of mod
ern life, are to be found the most
modern developments in strong
room construction. One Of the lar
gest in London, which cost 1,000,-
900, consists of thirty-two great
vaults, whose doors have no locks
and are worked by hydraulic power.
When tho doors are closed the
mechanism IS disconnected, and any
one attempting to connect it would
release $4,000 gallons of water and
food the place from floor to ceiling,
although the strong rooms would re-
main absolutely dry. Many and va
ried are the valuables stored in these
treasure houses.
At another London depository the
writer was shown Il room which con-
tanned $l50,OOO,OOO worth of Sc
curities. The next contained a col
lection of rare books worth $4,000
each, and another held a collection
of old china. In Il fourth were paint
ings worth $50O,OO0, and fifth
contained tapestries which could not
be duplicated for $25O,000.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

Gospel Truth.

A young man who habitually
speaks evil of women is unfit to
be trusted with any business re-
quiring integrity and honor. AS
rule, he is low minded and i'm
pure. He looks at others
through his own mirror, which
reflects nothing that is good and
pure. He indicates to others
that his associates are evil and
that the estimate he places on
women is obtained from a com.
panionship with those beneath
the pale of respectable society
Man happiness in this life is
based largely upon his absolute
faith in woman. She should al
ways be to him pure and holy
creature, and instead of seeking
to discover her faults, man
should be diligent in eXtolline
her virtues. A jealous and sus-
pecting husband is invariably Il
man of low and debaSed nature.
He is himself evil, and can see
no good in others. Always de
fend womanhood. Daily Panhan
die.

On another occasion an English

upon the difference between Eng

Denver, Mar. 12.-Ground was
broken today for one of the exhibit
buildings for the first annual Colo
RADIO Interstate fair and exposition.
which will be held here the second
week in September of this year.
There were no special exercises
concentrating this event. as work
men have been clearing the ground
and preparing 1t for several weeks,
one of their labors being to move
the Platte river 1000 feet, filling
in the old river bed and clearing
more than 40 acres of underbrush
to make room for this and other
structures.
The exhibits, according to reports
which are being received by Presi-
dent C. E. Stubs, will equal If not
excel in every department those of
similar large eastern shows. This
fact is largely due to the liberal cash
prizes which are offered in the diff
ferent classes. The total cash pre-
miums will exceed $4,000, and
there will be expended this year, ov-
'er 100000 on buildings and, i'm
provement of grounds.
For amusements there will be on
ly the highest class features obtain
able, including grand spectacular
night show, passenger carrying air
ship and captive balloons, an up-to-
date midway to be known as the
Great Divide, and other striking
features which President Stubbs is
at present in the east arranging for.
The fair is designed to encourage
and assist in building up all of the
Industries of the west and is not con-
fined to any particular state, terri
tory or locality.

turned to Portsmouth whore she told
the authorities that following a family
dispute her husband and brother be-
came engaged in q pistol duel. during
which Carkins received . fatal wound
In the head. In order to protect her
husband she said nothing about the
matter at the time.
