Death of count PourtaIes.

Colorado Springs.-Count James de
Pourtales, a prominent and active fig
ure in the early history and develop
ment of Colorado Springs, builder of
the Broadmoor casino. founder and
first president of the Cheyenne Noun
tain Country club and oHe of the first
men to invest any considerable amount
of money in the Cripple Creek district,
died Saturday at Mentone, Italy, after
a brief illness, at the age of forty-seven
years. Countess de Pourtales, his
wife, died in Los Angeles two years
ago. Her remains were taken to Ger
many for burial.
Count de Pourtales, who was a man
of great wealth, first visited Colorado
Springs in 1887, stopping here while en-
route to the Pacific coast. He intended
to stay but few days but prolonged
his visit to several weeks. This event
ually meant much to Colorado Springs
and this region because Count de Pour
tales decided to locate here perm
anently.
In few months he acquired the
now noted suburb of Broadmoor and
built the casino. at time when Colo
RADIO Springs had only 10000 inhabi
tants. Soon afterward he founded the
Cheyenne Mountain Country club. now
the most exclusive social organization
in Colorado Springs.
About this time Cripple Creek was
discovered by Bob" Womack and, al
though many scoffed at the new camp,
Count de Pourtales was confident that
it had great future and bought
small hole in the ground. then known
as the Buena Vista claim, which after
ward developed into the famous Isa-
bella mine. Strangely enough. Count
de Pourtales never realized much from
his Cripple Creek investment for the
reason that his interests in Germany
called him to that country at the height
of the mining boom. He sold his min
ing property content to know that his
judgment had not been at fault, and
sailed for his estate at Glumbowitz
in Silesia, Germany, where his life
work was spent in relieving the condi-
ton of the worthy poor.

RESOLVED TO sNUe EVE.
Mrs. Intheswln, Intended to Draw 3d.
cial Line in Heaven.

The minister had dropped In to tea,
and the conversation had drifted
through various channels to the ques-
ton of whether or not we should know
each other in heaven. Presuming that
our physical beings would be perpetu-
ated and that recognition would be as
sured, the minister had asked various
ones at the table among whom the Bib
lical characters they would be most
interested in recognizing.
Some mentioned one prophet and
some another, but one lady. noted for
her social eXclusiveness, had not
poken. Turning to her the minister
aid: "And who would you like to meet
in heaven, Mrs. lntheswim?"
Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. Il

is one thing | do know, and that Is

success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

Sunday School Lessons for the World.

year they gather to make this choice.
and when a decision has been reached
the lessons are handed out to the
printers and by them literally scat

OF languages. Europe and Africa, east
and west, north and south. get these

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
Tremble.

The surgeons duties require clear
judgment and a steady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir.
reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble, an Ills.
surgeon conscientiously gave it up and
this is his story.
For years l was n coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
Besides, how could I safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments of pre-
cision? When l saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee, l decided to stop it,
and three years ago l prepared some
Postum, of which l had received
sample.
THE first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time / gave some Postum TO friend
who was in a similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"A few days after, l met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de-
claring he would never return to cof-
fee but stick to Postum. We then Or
dered full supply and within short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling. as well as insomnia, disap-
peared, blood circulation became nor
NAL, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
MY friend became a Postum en-
thusast. his whole family using it ex-
clusivey.
ut would be the fault of the one
who brewed the Postum, if it did not
taste good when served.
