Some New Neck Ornaments.

Among the really useful trinkets may be counted the flexible metal sup ports for collars. The newest of these are shown set with diamonds or sap phires. In this form they make de cidediy satisfactory substitute for other materials. There Is nothing more becoming to a woman than a simple ribbon or band of black velvet around the throat, and these ribbons are now decorated with jewels, span gles and tiny beads. Seed pearls aa velvet are lovely and for older womeD steel beads and paste on black are most appropriate.

TRY THE SUNSHINE

Few people realize the import

legion. If you are tired out from

If possible. 1t Is better than medi-
cine. Revel in the sunshine when
ever you can.
Think a moment and you will
remember that the cloudy day is

DEATH IN
THE FACE 10 TIMES

While in that city he fell in front
of car and was dragged so feet,
clinging to the fender. He was
considerably bruised, but managed
to be up and about within a week.
1t was 13 years before accident
seven put in appearance. Mcmahon
was a football enthusiast and he
went to Lafayette to accompany
the Purdue university eleven to In
dianapolis on the special train
which was wrecked just at the out
skirts of the latter city. Mcmahon
was knocked senseless. The man
next to him was instantly killed.
An accident in foundry and the
big powder explosion at Fontanet
this spring brought the number of
lives up to nine. 1t was in the
latter tragedy that he lost little
finger and escaped in miraculous
manner with his life. He was visit
ing a brother who lived near Terre
Haute and had planned to go
through the powder mill at the ill
fated village. He was close to the
mill when the explosion which
killed so many occurred. He was
knocked to the earth and a falling
plank lacerated his hand and arm.
The last chapter happened three
weeks ago and was probably the
most painful of all the experiences.
Friends were willing, however, to
give patches of their skin and
enough was secured after the Sc
we're scalding to give him fair
chance with life. The latest report
is that he will pull through with
flying colors.

FORDSVILLE. Ind, Sept. g.
Having passed the danger point in
his latest nearly fatal adventure.
John Winter Mcmahon of this city
holds the record of having faced
death probably more times than
any man in the country. He fell
into a vat of scalding water in a
lumber yard few days ago. Ten
times has this man stared death in
the face in 35 years-four times
hope for his recovery was aban-
doned by the physicians.
AS result of these experiences
McMahon's friends have dubbed
him Cat" but they are now look
ing for new nickname to apply
in a suitable fashion. In his own
words, II have any of the cat fam
lily beat a whole city block when
it comes to this life proposition"
With this he sank on his pillow
and allowed the nurse to rebandage
his hips where few days before
skin had been grated to take the
place of that which had been
scalded away.
The visible results of the 10
times that Mcmahon had been at
deaths door, so far as his anatomy
is concerned, are: The loss of the
left eye, the loss of half of an ear
little finger and the right foot.
An artificial limb has removed the
difficulty of the loss Of the latter
organ, and he is firm believer in
the expression that life Is dear at
any expense"
When n boy of II, with two other
little fellows. neither of whom
could swim. he went out to the
creek for a plunge. The current
swept John into deep water. Twice
he had gone down as his little COM
panions called for help, when he
blindly grabbed at a floating rail.
1t proved his savior. and he was
dragged to shore by a fisherman a
quarter of mile down steam more
dead than alive.
Nothing out of the ordinary hap
pened in the way of accidents until
three years later.
In attempting to hop onto a
train, now 10 years old, missed his
footing and slipped under the
wheels. His right foot was cut off
just above the ankle. The mishap
was not observed by members OF
the crew. Unconscious from loss
of blood, he was picked for dead a
few minutes later and carried into
a nearby house. For several days
the boy was more dead than alive.
While still ON crutches fortune
again frowned and smiled on Nc
Mahon. lie was watching the con-
struction of a stone building when
the clamps slipped on large stone
being lifted by a derrick. The huge
weight fell toward his head. He
lodged and the corner of the stone
struck him on the shoulder, spin
tering the bone.
Near death No. came when he
was IA. In attempting to dislodge
a kite which had been caught in
a tree. he slipped and fell from
dizzy heights. The branches helped
break the fall, but in striking the
ground his skull was fractured, and
for days he was In precarious
condition.
While hunting, when Is, a shot
gun explosion caused him to lose
half an ear and one of his eyes. He
was climbing over rail fence
when the accident occurred. 1t was
thought for time that the eye
could be saved. and he went to a
Chicago specialist for treatment.

Carelessness on the part of for

for Water Commissioner John Wet

to remove the big water main that
supplies the Cooks hill reservoir
If the city does not get busy soon
and remove the offending main it.

trouble in the water department
for one season and is little 10th
to tackle such a heavy proposition
as the removal of the reservoir
-SApply main, so he has called in
Corporation Counsel Hamblin to
help straighten out the tangle.
1t seems that when the city laid
its supply main to the reservoir 1t

An easement is said to have been
given the city by Finch, but, like
some other papers at the city hall,
1t has disappeared from the files.
Easements are not usually re-
corded by the city, hence no record
of the one in question appears.
George w. Owens purchased the
ground traversed by the water
main, lots 10 and II, block 2, Park
Hill addition, on warranty deed
from the Finch company. In pre-
pairing to build Owens found the
water main obstructing his base

interests promptly denied that the
city had any rights on the ground
and referred Owens to the board Of

DEN Eli, sept. 9.-FOr seven
long and faithful years DR.. John
H. Sidney has waited for Mabel
Horlick, daughter of the multi
millionaire matted milk manufac-
turer to say, Now l will marry
you"
For seven long, yearning years
Mabel Horlick, stunningly lovely,
spirited, independent, answering,
has, through filial affection and rev.
erence, bent her wishes to the will
of stern parent instead of fol.
lowing her hearts desire.
For seven long, hoping, confident
years both have been slowly, but
surely educating the crotchety old
manufacturer in the knowledge
that he must sooner or later meet
and face the inevitable-the loss
of his dear daughter and chum in
her marriage with the young Den
yer physician.
At last youth and fidelity to pur-
pose have won, and to the doctors
offices on fremont street has come
wireless message from midocean
telling that Cupid had snatched
and was holding the bird of vic
tory, and October, the glowing
month, would see an end of the
protracted woOing.
1t is one of the prettiest ro-
mances in land of enthusing,
quick changing love affairs, the
story of DR.. Jack" Sidley and
Mabel Horlick. 1t isn't the story
of a youth and a maid who lived
in village where the girl was
the prettiest and the boy the no.
blest and no others could compare,
but of young man and woman
who have seen pretty much all that
the world has to show of beauty
and wealth, and charm and oppor-
tunity, and yet they have seen only
each other
In Chicago John Sidley and Ma
bel Horlick first met at the Sidley
home, with it's gay consignment of
six sons and one daughter, she hav-
ing come to spend her vacation as
the house guest of her schoolmate,
Jacks" sister, now the wife of
Rev. II. S. Foster, assistant rector
of St. Marks Episcopal church of
the metropolis.
Mr.. Sidley the father, was a
prominent and vastly respected at
torney, and the mother one of those
women of fine culture and manner
who live to make their children
happy.
Only moment was required for
the boy and young woman, who is
several years older than he, to
read life's meaning in each others
eyes. That meaning has never
changed.
1 The girl went home and wills
pered her secret into the ear of her
dear old chum--her father. Forth

! POUNDS and rubbish! The boys
got no business, no fortune. All
he's got's fine family name and
a lot of nonsensical ideas about a
profession" roared the milk matter
at the unaffrighted daughter, who,
by family friends and intimates,
has always been called "a chip of
the old block"
John Sidley heard, smiled and
went to work to complete his edui
cation and acquire profession
which would land him in the class
of his father and FIVE brothers, who
are either doctors, attorneys or par
sons.
Three years ago. having secured
his diploma and certificate to prac-
tice medicine, DR.. Sidley came to
Colorado, establishing himself first
