The Boulder Herald takes the
position that now that the panic is
over and Colorado can get some
of her money out of New York
banks, we should do so and here
after keep it at home. To this the
Grand Junction Sentinel takes
vigorous exception. They claim
that such action would destroy
our power to transmit money to
New York IN payment of bills of
our merchants. We want to sub
NIT that it is not necessary to
carry our reserve funds in New
York A small amount for draft
ing purposes is necessary, but we
have been using New York as the
reservoir into which to pour our
surplus funds. We did so under
the belief that we could always
check it out when needed, but it
has been demonstrated that we
cannot do SO unless they see fit to
pay US. They have given US to
understand that they will pay us
just when they get ready. Common
prudence now dictates that we
bank less with New York. A Colo
RADIO bank should be carefully
watched by its dcpositors and
when they are sending money
east in excess of a reasonable
checking balance they should be

He Lost the Bet

An Irish waiter, named Kenny, was noted for his wit and ready answers. A party of gentlemen who were staying at the hotel heard of Kenny's wit, and one of them made bet that he would say something that Kenny couldn't answer at once.
 A bottle of champagne was ordered. The one who had made the bet took hold of the bottle and commenced to open it. The cork came out with a "bang" and flew into Kenny's mouth.
 "Ah," he said, "that is not the way to "Corkw

Room at the Top"

An old and true saying is: "Thereis always room at the top" Too many of our people graduate from our business schools and colleges with the idea in their craniums that they will have position at the top or none at all, hence their failure. The people at the top have gained their supremacy by some special merit, and before you can enter their class you have to "show them" The above recalls an occurrence in Kan sas City. A high school boy hunted in vain for job. Even letters from hls father to bis business associates did no good, and the parent, whom we shall call MT. A., started out himself. lie went to a wholesaler from whom be was heavy buyer and asked him to give his son position in his store. The wholesaler replied that he would gladly do so when there was an opening. My patronage" replied Mir. A., lis such that you can we'll afford to give the boy a place now" "You are right, 1 can't deny you if you demand it; now, what sort of position do you want your son to have?" "I want him to learn the business" replied A, "you can set him sweeping to start" "Why didn'G you say something like that at first, l sup posed you wanted him to have some nice position. OF course we have room for him." That was not many years ago, aud the young man has not reached the top,,but he receives several thous- and year, not on account of his fathers patronage, but because he earns it for the house. If he had started in one of the nice positions he would now be getting, at most, not more than twelve hundred dollars year as an of flee man with no prospect of another raise.

A1aska,s Coal Fields

There is occasionally talk of the eX- haustion of the coal fields of the United States, and articles appear from time to time, showing that, with an increase in consumption annually proportionate to that which has been seen of recent years, the time can be figured with al- most mathematical certainty when the coal supply of the United States will become extremely limited.
 All of these estimates are based upon the false assumption that all of the coal measures of this country are known and are being exploited. How wildly erroneous this assumption is may be judged by some recent state ments about the Alaska coal fields which have been given out by the geo. logical survey, correcting some misap- prehensions aroused by a recent in terview with Mr. Brooks, of that survey.
 According to these statements, geo. logical reconnoissances have been made of coal areas in Alaska covering about 12.OOO squares miles. In addition to this. however, coal is known to exist in the comparatively uneXplored re- gions of the territory, covering approx imately one-quarter of it's entire area. At all events, the present known area of coal fields will be doubled when the territory is fully explored, making a certainty of not less than 24,00O square miles of coal measures in this one terri tory alone.
 The total area of the coal fields of Great Britain, which have been worked from time almost immemorial, are but 5000 square miles. The coal area of all continental Europe, with the excep- tion of Russia, is but 6,800 square miles. It will be seen that in the limited state of knowledge about the great northern territory there have been already eX- plored coal areas but little short of the total areas of continental Europe, with Russia excepted and Great Britain added.
 The coal of Alaska thus far discov' cred covers every grade from the highest of anthracite, bituminous and coking coals down to low-grade Ignite The coal supply of the world is in no apparent danger of exhaustion, and the fields of Alaska will furnish an ample supply to make, good any deficiencies of the future in the other parts of this continent.-P.-I

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
#If Furred and Coated, II is a Warn.
ing Of Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the
night before. you do not have to look
at your tongue to know that the stom-
ach is upset, the head is aching with
a dull rythm, and that all the world
looks dreary.
The real time to watch the tongue
is all of the time. If 1t is coated with
a white fur, or possibly with dark
trimmings, even though the stomach
does not tell you by the acute pains
of indigestion that it needs help, yet
the coating shows that you are get
ting into bod way, and that there is
need of Mi-o-na. 81
Mi-o-na is SO positive, so sure, SO
reliable in its curative action on the
stomach that Lenhart Drug Co, the
local agents, give an absolute guaran
tee with every 50-cent box they sell

Postage Stamp Gum.

Every time a person licks a United
States postage stamp he gets a taste
Of sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed is made from
that succulent vegetable because Uncle
Sans lieutenants consider 1t the most
harmless preparation of the sort. All
of the gum used on American postage
stamps is mixed by the government at
the bureau Of engraving and printing,
where the stamps are made. 1t is
spread on the sheets after the stamps
have been printed. The gum, in a
liquid form, is forced up through pipes
from the basement, where lis made.
These pipes lead to series Of ma
chimes consisting Of rollers, between
which the sheets Of stamps are fed, one
at a time. A continuous fine stream
Of the liquid gum falls upon one of
these rollers The sheet with its wet
coating of sweet potato mucilage passes
from the rollers into a long horizontal
flue filed with hot air. When it
energies at the other end of the flue
the gum is dry.-New York Telegram.

STRAIGHT From the Animal.

A London gentleman, having taken
a small farm in the country as being
the correct thing to do, as well as to
get little fresh air, had invited some
Of his friends down to see his new
possession.
Having viewed the domain and not
ing the absence Of creature life about
the place, one of his friends remarked;
With nice, open place like this, !
wonder you don't have some animals
about, as is usual on a farm Some
cows, for instance, so as to have your
own butter and cream"
No-o," drawled his host, "don't care
about butter or cream"
y. "Some chickens or ducks, then. You
surely like fresh eggs ~
Moo, don't care for eggs. But I've
sometimes thought I'd like a sheep.
rather like kidneys for breakfast" -

Photoaraphina the Stomach.

An Improved apparatus has been
made by DR.. Fritz Lang Of Munich
by which the inside of the stomach
can be clearly photographed. The
camera is actually swallowed by the
patient, and when 1t reaches the stom-
ach the walls thereof can be flluminat-
ed by small electric lamp attached
to the apparatus. At the bottom of
the camera is wound Photographic
film twenty inches long and a quarter
Of an inch wide. All the surgeon has
to do Is to pull cord and thus run
the film past the lens. The electric
light is then turned on, and after the
sensitive film has been impressed with
the image the current is turned off and
another section of the film is brought
into play until the requisite number
Of pictures has been obtained.

Preserving the Balance.

Preserving The Balance.
A well known professor Of architec-
ture, commonly referred to as "Ham-
my" by his pupils, told a story Illus
trative Of the remarkable degree to
which certain persons possess the sense
Of symmetry.
1t seems that there was once a
Scotch gardener who had charge Of a
good sized English estate and under
whose direction the formal garden at
the rear had been laid out with abso-
lutte symmetry, even the two summer
houses, one on each side of the garden
being Identical in even the most minute
detail. On one occasion the English
man became angry at his son and
locked him up in one Of the summer
houses. AS soon as the Scotch garden
.er heard Of this his sense of symmetry
was SO outraged that he Immediately
sent for his own son and locked him
up In the other summer house to pre-
serve the balance. sHammy" neglect
ed to mention whether both boys were
dressed exactly alike, but it is to be
presumed that even this detail was at
tended to by the aesthetic Scotchman.

Court Clerks Bio Fees.

The Chicago Bar association has de
clared war on the fee system Of pay.
ing clerks in the supreme and appellate
courts. So large have the emoluments
Of these offices become, reports say,
that 1t Is not unusual for some of the
clerks to receive in year from two
to four times as much as the salary of
a Judge. The Record-Herald shows
that the clerk Of the supreme court
nets from $4,000 to $4,000 a year,
while In the appellate court the fees
run up to $4,000 The Bar associa.
tion demands that the Offices be placed
on a salary basis and suggests that
$4,000 a year is quite enough to tempt
good men to take the places.

The Palisades.

To see New York city from the Pali-
sades is to witness the multiple beau
ty and wonder of the Palisades them
selves. One of the most astonishing
facts concerning these towering
masses of grandeur is that they lie so
close to the most artificial, man sub
jugated area that civilization has
evolved, writes Philip Verrill Mighels
in Harper's Magazine. To come upon
the Palisades from the rear at night
is like stepping to the edge Of. the
world, where the slender, dark island
lies low beyond as If 1t were only
a part of space, its countless lights
looking like millions Of stars stretched
for miles across the sky. u The illu-
sion is dispelled when the wind flows
up with the tide to the base Of the
cliffs and lifts up the full throated
roar of the substantial city.

SELECTIONS
HAWAlI's v GOATS.
They Eat Up the Mountain Forests
and Cause Floods.

and Cause Floods.
The wild goat Of Hawaii In recent
years became serious menace to ag-
riculture in various parts Of the ter
ritory. Secure among the almost in
accessible cliffs of the mountains,
thousands of these nimble animals
find congenial home, and, although
no systematic efforts have as yet been
tnaugurated for exterminating them,
they are nevertheless extremely wary
and difficult to approach.
California and Australia have had
their scourges Of rabbits, and various
western states still have their trou-
bles in combating prairie dogs and
gophers, but these pests injure the ag-
riculturist directly by attacking his
growing crops while. on the other hand,
the goats of Hawaii do the same thing
indirectly by running the mountain for
ests, which conserve the rainfall on
which the water for irrigation pur-
poses is dependent. This was not for
q long time appreciated, but of late
years, with the rapid increase In the
number of goats, it has become very
apparent In some sections Of the
mountain districts, once heavily wood
ed, there is now scarcely any vegeta-
ton at all, due solely to the destruc-
tive feeding of the goats.
Goat hunting is popular diversion
in some parts of the territory and as a
sport is by no means to be despised.
Although the animals are numerous,
1t requires some hard tramping and
climbing to get to their haunts, and
then a true aim and good eye for dis
tance in order to have much success.
/ Occasionally parties are organized and
a week or more spent in goat shooting,
with the result that sometimes several
hundred are slaughtered. Were 1t not
for the injurious characteristics of the
! little animals the slaughter would seem
wanton in the extreme, for no value is
] placed on the carcass, and it is usually
left where it falls. Indeed, the charac
ter of the mountains would often make
1T difficult to secure the quarry after
1t is shot, and it is only in case of an
especially large animal, which the
hunter may desire to secure as tro.
ply, that any attempt is ever made to
recover the body.
The fact that there seems to be nc
market for the skins prevents theil
being hunted for any other purpose
