A Queer Couch Mixture.

Mrs. Delaney. so well known as an
eighteenth century parsonage. had a
strange prescription for cough mix
ture. Writing to a friend in January.
175S. she says: Does Mary cough in
the night? Two or three snails boiled
in her barley water or tea water or
whatever she drinks might be of great
service to her. Taken In time they
have done wonderful cures. She must
know nothing Of It, They give 40
manner of taste. 1t would be best
nobody should know it but yourself,
and | should imagine six or eight boil
ed in quart of water and strained off
and put in a bottle would. be good
way, adding a spoonful or two of that
to every liquid she takes. They must
be fresh done every two or three days:
otherwise they grow too thick" A
strange remedy, and one wonders
whether MARY" took it and benefited
by it.

RADIO republican politicians are gath.

be held tomorrow. The democrats
held their convention in Pueblo earl
Ter In the week, and the political
campaign will soon be on In full
blast.
Leaders OF both parties are exhibit
ing greal deal of confidence. Many
bitter criticisms have been directed
at the Rev. Henry Buchtel since he
became the republican governor OF
Colorado and personalities Will likely
figure largely in the fight.
Republican politicians express the
conviction that Taft is certain to car
~ Colorado. but IL IL admitted that
Bryan has many adherents In this
state. In 1896 the Nebraskan re-
eeiyed the overwhelming plurality Of
134.ss2. In 1900 the democratic
plurality was 29,661, and in 1904
Roosevelt carried the state by a.
$50. There Is no doubt that the per-
sonal popularity of the president was
largely responsible for the large vote
he received. While both Taft and
Bryan have many devoted adherents.
neither are able to arouse the en-
thusiasm Of the voters as did Roose-
Welt.
Whether Colorado's electoral vote
shall be cast for Bryan or Taft is
still uncertain, and until the votes
are counted next November. Colorado
will remain in the ranks OF the doubt

sides. The Hearst party vote will
not cut any figure, but the socialists
claim to have greatly increased the
number of their adherents In the last
few years, and the strength of that
party may prove a surprise. There
- also considerable prohibition senti-
ment In the state, which Is likely to
erystalize into votes for Chain.

MULES OF MEXICO.

Our Own Meek Brand.

They Are Even More Knowing Than
Our Own Meek Brand.
Everybody knows that all mules
are brainy, but the mules OF old Mex
leo have something on other mules for
a sort of precedence of their own" said
a man who has spent many years in
the neighboring republic. "A Mexican
mule will do just so much work and
not blamed bit more.
THE riding mule, for instance, is
fully aware Of the distance. down to a
rod, he Is supposed and required to
traverse in the progress of one travel
ing day, and all the sharp sticks or
goads or dynamite on earth won't get
him to do a bit more than what he
knows to be the correct distance. The
Mexicans have got peculiar saying in
connection with this characteristic of
the Mexican mule. You ask a Mex
lean, for instance, how far 1t is by
mule back to such and such a point
"'Two days journey If you are not
rushed, but three days ii you are in a
hurry the Mexican win reply.
His meaning Is that If you don't
ask more of your mule than you should
ask OF him, the mule will be able to
make the trip In two days. But If you
attempt TO drive the brute he'll soldier
on you, and in consequence the jour
ney will take you three days."-Ex-

OF the city free employment bureau,

The last seen OF Coulton was sew
eral days ago by his family, and 1t
seems to have been equally as long
since friends recollect seeing him
in the city. II is said here today
that hundreds of dollars OF the two
organizations are gone, and this
leads to the theory that the money
has either been spent by Coulton.
and that he feared exposure. and to
avoid this fed. or else that he has
taken the money with him. He leaves

Fishes have been put to many queer
uses while still alive, but probably the

propulsion Of submarine torpedoes was
the subject under discussion, and he
proposed that a shark be imprisoned
IN tube at the rear end Of the projec-
tile, its movements to be controlled by
the active application Of electricity.
In case the shark attempted to swim
away II was to be given an electric
shock and in this way kept on Its
course until the torpedo had reached
fits target.
Another remarkable use to which a
fsh has been put Is as a barometer.

The Deceased wife's Sister.

The law against marrying a deceased
wife's sister. which caused so much
discussion in England, grew out of
the ancient tribal law forbidding u IA
Their to sell more than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for q shilllngs Of the present money
a man might dismiss his wife or kill
her IL she would not go. As civil law
1t was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter-
marriage. When ecclesiastical law be-
came supreme misleading of some
Scripture text was used to put the
sister of mans wife among the pro-
hibited degrees Of relationship This
was the act of 1914 G2 Henry Wild:
"A man may not marry his deceased
wife's sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cousin. "-London
