OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BOYS.
Poetic Name Of Cottage Furnished Fun

Governed by the ruling passion for

sweet, poetical names, man who lives

"Why?" responded the man, with

HABIT OF FOLDING THE ARMS.
u Causes Flat Chest and Round shouI.
ders-NaturaI Position.

BY folding your arms you pull the
shoulders forward, fatten the chest
and impair deep breathing. Folding
the arms across the chest so flattens
1t down that 1t requires conscious ef-
fort to keep the chest in what should
be its natural position. AS soon as you
forget yourself down drops the chest.
We cannot see ourselves as others
see us. II we could many of us would
be ashamed of our shapes. The posi-
tion you hold your body In most of the
time soon becomes its natural posi-
ton. Continuously folding your arms
across the chest will develop fiat
chest and rounded back.
Here are four other hints which
should be made habits. Keep the
back of the neck close to the back of
the collar at all possible times. AL
ways carry the chest farther to the
front than any other part of the an
terror body. Draw the abdomen in
and up hundred times each day.
Take a dozen deep, slow breaths
dozen times each day.-Family Doctor.

The Meanest Man.

ut has been my habit in the morn
ing to sprinkle the stone coping out
side the dining-room window quite
literally with broken bread crumbs
for the benefit OF the army OF spar
rows. Well, sir, yesterday morning
the meanest man threw open his win
dow and across the narrow airshaft
growled that II didn't stop that sort
of thing he'd have the board Of health
after me for maintaining garbage
nuisance.
Now what do you think Of thatf
Can you beat it?"

Realism,

The defenders of this pitiable stun
uphold it on the ground of truthful
ness. Taking the thesis into question,
this truthfulness is the one overwhelm-
ing defect. An original idea that-to
laud the accuracy with which the
stone is hurled that knocks us in the
head! A little less accuracy might
have left us more brains. And here
are critics absolutely commencing the
truthfulness with which only the dis
agreeable is conveyed! In my view,
II an artist must paint decayed
cheeses. his merit will lie In their
looking as little like decayed cheeses
as possible.-Edgar Allen Poe.

The trunks belonging to Leonard and
Dodge who were arrested last week for
stealing some silk from the New York
store and who are now languishing in
the county Jail, were sent to Denver on
Monday by Agent McGinnis, upon order
of the general baggage agent of the C.
& S. railway. Some of the goods in the
trunks very likely were stolen from
stores in other towns and the owners of
the goods probably induced the railway
company to have the trunks sent to
Denver.

The local BARRIERS have entered into a
compact that after the first of the COM

on these evenings the change will not
inconvenience anyone and it will enable

The water mains of Central and Black
Hawk have been connected at Gregory
gulch. This is being done to give Black
Hawk supply of water. The reservoir
of that city contains very little water
and the people before the connection

quent intervals.
