Game Smooth
But Gait .Slow

smooth gentleman dropped into
Florence the latter part of las. week
from Goldfeld. Colorado, and began
interviewing Florence ladies osten.
sibly for the purpose Of securing or
ders for enlarging photographs.
The story Of his operations as given
to The Tribune is that he would ap.
proach lady in her home, first in.
quiring II the man of the house were
about; finding that he was not in,
he would explain that he WAS in the
business Of enlargiug photographs,
and producing bunch Of envelopes
would ask the lady to draw one, and
II upon opening it shs found cou-
pom, she would be entitled to pic.
ture upon the payment of 9s cents in
advance. 1t is needless to ray that
there was a coupon enclosed and a
number Of ladies paid the 9S cents.
whereupon he would give a receipt
signed 81. W" and instruct the par
ties where they might send sbe cou-
pom and the copy Of the photo to be
enlarged. There were various ad-
dresses given one being the Home
Photograph gallery in Canon City,
and also the Walsh Art company Of
Omaha. and various other places.
Some of his customers asoertained
that the addresses were ficticious. and
complaint was entered and de-
scription given. Officers Furniss and
Kelley both hunted all day yester-
day and finally discovered that the
description was at fault. They final
ly landed the man, however at the ID.
and r. g. depot when No. 2 came In
late last evening. He was arrested
upon warrant for having obtained
money under false pretenses, and
after much reticence over the mat
ter he gave his name l.. K. Welch.
The district attorney WAS commu.
nicated with and came down this
forenoon to prosecure the case. Tele-
phone communications from the mar
shall at Goldfeld. Colo. orders him
held here until he can take him back
to Goldfield where he is said to be
much wanted.
Lateral the trial this after.
noon the evidence, documentary and
otherwise WAS decidedly unfavorable
to the defendant. The case was con.
tinue until tomorrow afternoon
and the marshal was instructed to
investigate and verify If possible,
statements which we're made in evil
dence by the defendant.

THE THREE WISE MEN.
Hhe Were Thsy?-An UnSofVSd
 Christmas Mystery.

One Christmas mystery remains un- solved. Who were the wise men of ths east-the magl who followed the star of Bethlehem from afur to do homage to the newborn Saviour?
 The simple story as told in the Bible Is one of the most familiar In Christ mas lore. Any child could reclte lt ln detail. Painters and sculptors have made lt the theme of the most inspired products of their brushes and chisels. but to this day the Identity of these wise men remains mystery. A search of the great paintings In which the subject is treated produces a be- wIlderment. There are half hun dred different Ideas presented. The varying versions of the books of the ages are as many.
 It Is fair to assume from the fact that the visitors were received at court by King Herod and that they carried gifts of value that they were In their own country men of royalty or close to It. Herod evidently deemed 1t well to treat them with deference, for dis Quieted though he was by their news

Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances.

of the comet that was to lead them to the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis sembled and told them that when they had found the newborn he would re- turn to worship with them.
 Much of our Information about the carly days of the Christian era comes from the monks of the fourteenth cen tury, who delved deeply into historical sources since lost to the world. Their story of5the three wise men has recei7- ed wide credence. According to these monks. the wise men were three great kings called Caspar, Melchoir and Bal thasar. Caspar was the oldest and from the north At the time of the birth of Christ he was sixty years old and for more than two-thlrds of that time he had ruled In Arabia Baltha- sar was black. native of Saba, from the east, and forty years old. The youngest was Melcholr, from the south, whose country was Tarshlsh. He was twenty years old.
 Impelled by some mysterious power they dropped all the cares of state and followed a single star thirteen days and nights without eating or sleeping tiIl 1t led them to Jerusalem.
 Then the story follows that of the Bible until they returned to their own countries.
 The story does not stop here. It tells circumstantinlly the after life of the three wise men. The good Apostle St, Thomas journeyed to their country and baptized tbem, and all three went out to preach the doctrine of the Christ
 They were slain by barbarous gen tiles, and later the Empress Helena, mother of Constantine, recovered their sacred bones and took them to Con stRntinople. Thence they were carried to Milan and finally found an ultimate resting place ln Cologne, where they now are.-New York Post.
 Eskimos Turn cannibal.
 Cannibalism has been resorted to by the Eskimos in the Ungaya bay dis trict and on the shores of Hudson strait, according to the Rev. Mir. Stew, art, an Anglican missionary to the Ungaya bay Eskimos. The Rev, Mir. Stewart states that owing to the se- verely cold weather and the unusual scarcity of game many of the natives in remote regions have perlshed from starvation and exhaustion, and the sur vivors have been forced to cannibalism to sustain life. Recently the crew of a Newfoundland vessel which was in Ungava bay discovered thirty skele- tons lying unburied on the beaches. It Is supposed that these were the bones of some of the victims of the famine.
