The best estimates of the National

more. The whole United States has

Colorado committee has this state

larger number relatively will be in
Denver than from any other single

arranging to get into communication

The state democracy should get to
gether at Glenwood Springs and teach
Denver lesson. II now looks as
though the regular contest will come
up from the capital city and when it
does both sides should be thrown out
and the delegates from the rest OF the
state TO go ahead and do business. At
any rate there should be no one chosen
from Denver as a delegate to the Ma
tional convention. The Denver Democ-
racy has been in the habit of taking up
about half OF the time OF the state con-
venuons with their perpetual rows and
We have listened to them long enough.
Until the Denver Democrats get to the
point where they can demonstrate that
they are Democrats even though they
are not candidates for office they have
no right TO be honored by the party. A
few fellows have been in the habit OF
monopolizing all the honors of the par.
ty and this is a good time TO teach
those self styled leaders a lesson.
Colorado Democracy will never win
another state election until new lead
ers arise and the men who have been
dominating the party for twenty or
thirty years take back seat This is
the year to do II. now is the time
Glenwood Springs is the place Every
Democrat who lives outside of Denver
is interested in the carrying out of
such plan. Get busy.-Herald, Fort

TREES AS TOWN BEAUTIFIERS
How a Missourian Made His Homo
City Attractive.

How a Missourian Made His Homo
City Attractive.
The prairie town without trees is
cheercSS and unattractivc. Few things
add more to the attractivcncSs of Il
town than rows of thrifty shade trees
planted along its streets.
Village and town Improvement SociC.
ties and civic associations have done
much to promote tree planting. cSpc-
cially in the prairie regions of the mid
die west. Where trees adapted to To-
cal conditions have been planted and
where the citizens have cared for them
and taken an interest in them the re-
suits have been remarkable.
\ public spirited man residing in
city in Missouri has been doing COM
mcndablc work along this line in con-
ncction with the Civic Improvement
league of his city. In the year 1901 he
planted large quantity of seeds of va
riouS trees in nursery rows. He care
fully tended the young seedlings and
Il few years later dug them up, labeled
them and turned them over to the
school children free upon condition that
they should be planted and cared for.
Since the trees started life with the be-
ginning of the present century they
We're called century trees" and this
gave them additional interest.
Each child was given printed direc-
tons, which were headed rs follows:
Ornament your homes. Plant CEN
fury trees, seedlings of 1901. They are
living monuments; watch them develop.
They began with the century, and the
century as it advances marks the rec
ord of their age year by year.
Those who received trees We're d.
rected to dig holes two feet in diameter
and one and half feet deep. They
were told to keep the roots of the trees
moist and covered until planted, to
see that all torn ends Of roots were
cut off smoothly and to cut back the
side branches about a quarter or third
Of their length or, if the tree was a
straight shoot without branches, to cut
back the tip few inches. This prun-
ing was to balance the loss of roots in
digging up the trees.
In planting the tree they We're told
to spread the roots out into natural
position and to set the tree about an
inch deeper in the ground than 1t stood
In the nursery; to use good rich soil,
but to allow no fertilizer or mulch to
come into direct contact with the roots;
to work the soil carefully about the
roots and to water the tree plentifully
every few days after it was set out
and during the dry weather of sum
mer.
Five or six thousand trees We're
given away In this manner. Two or
three trees were given to each child
who asked for them, and almost every
child did so. There were many Spc-
Giles. and naturally some died. but few
children lost all that they planted.
Each child who received trees was re-
quired to fill out a slip giving his name
and address and the place where the
tree was planted. The trees in public
places will be labeled when they have
grown somewhat larger.
The town Is now dotted with these
little century trees, which have become
the pride Of those who planted them.

TOOK HIS OWN FROM RossER
How Pilgrim Got Back His Stolen
Purse in Church..

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca of
Polish pilgrims. comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while no was in church. and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief. Il shall go into the
church and steal money from some
body else" said the pilgrim. for
have nothing to go home with" He
went into the church and seeing u
man in the crowd with wallet on his
back slipped his hand into 1T and
pulled out his own stolen purse. with
the exact sum he had left in it. He
was so glad to find his money that he
hurried off to tell the priest and the
thief got away.

Tennyson's Terror.

There are many stories of Tennyson
in the duke of Argylls recent book.
Passages from the Past and one OF
the most characteristic relates to the
time when the marriage of his grace
then the marquis of Lorne-and Prin-
cess Louise was in the air.
One day Tennyson had number OF
guests at luncheon. among who was
the marquis of Lorne. In the course
of talk, the marquis told Tennyson
then poet laureate, that the queen
liked his new volume.
Il am glad to hear it," Tennyson
said, in his sonorous, slow, musical
bass voice. Il have given good &C
count of her in that volume. but the
newspapers don't like my rhymes-say
they are bad.
Il live in terror he continued, "of
any of the queens family marrying,
and of hearing from her that she
hopes will write something. l have
no news of that kind yet, but l live in
terror OF It,"

humble little flower that Words

Manuel Garcia,s Simple Life

The just published biography of
Manuel Garcia, by Mr.. S. Mackinlay.
contains some interesting details of
the daily habits of that distinguished
parsonage, who died at the age of 1902.
1t is recorded that he led the simplest
of lives:
His lunch invariably consisted OF
the same simple fare-some sponge
cake and pint of milk, which would
be fetched from a baker close by by
my younger brother Charles. I asked
Senior Garcia once If he did not feel
hungry long before dinner. teaching as
he did all day on such slender diet.
No" he answered, Il don't feel half
the discomfort from waiting that |
should if I took hearty meal in the
middle of the day and then tried to
teach Immediately afterward. Besides.
| don't really need it. Most singers
and teachers of singing eat more than
they should. A man with moderate
teeth, such as I have. can grow old on
sponge cake and milk" And he lived
for more than 80 years after that to
prove the truth of his remarks.
