HOT STUFF.

One from the July Philistine:
Here is a silly and slanderous story
which reaches us from Reno. Nevada.
A young woman gets on a suburban
car. and taking a copy Of the Philis-
tine out of her Boston bag. begins to
read. She evidently has not read
more than a couple of pages. when
she slowly and carefully takes OF her
shoes and stockings. She turns the
stockings wrong side out. puts them
on again. and replaces her shoes.
The passengers look on, first
amused and then perple1ed. An old
gentleman finally reaches over and
says. you will pardon my seeming
rudeness. lady. but why did you Just
now indulge in this strange proce-
dure?"
Why, kind sir. was reading the
Philistine Magazine. and l find the
text such hot stuff that felt COM

Denver, Dec. 10.-Appie states east
of Colorado are taking great inter-
est in the Colorado National Apple
exposition and will send exhibits to
compare for honors with Colorado

WEATHER DRIVES ANTELOPRS
DOWN TO THE FOOTHILLS

John Freek of Garden Park was in
town Sunday and reports the weather
in that part Of the valley as being the
coolest experienced in that locality
for many years. The unusually low
temperature, combined with the deep
snow in the hills. has been very nard
on wild animals. according to Mr..
Freek. and he says deer and mountain
sheep will starve to death II present
conditions continue much longer.
Although the antelope is an excep-
tionally timid creature and gives the
habltation of man as wide a berth as
possible. a bunch of seven of them
came down from the mountains and
approached to within few rods of
he front door of Mr.. Freek's house in
search OF something to eat. They re-
NAMED about the premises for few
hours. when they went into a field
near by and later into the hills. Mr.
creek had some hay scattered on the
round in the vicinity OF the house
CT his unusual visitors. but they have
not been seen since.

RAILROAD AGENT FROZEN
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT

Harry p. Randall, agent of the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek r. r. at Alta
Vista, had his hands and feet frozen
from being exposed to the fierce
winds which blew in the vicinity of
Straub mountain last Friday. Ran

the outskirts of the town, he faced
a fierce wind which blew from the
south, and. blinded from the snow,
lost the trail. Wandering around in
the country near Straub mountain,
Randall did not arrive at the Alta
Vista station until 1890 o'clock. The
distance usually walked Is about a
mile. but the station agen walked sew
eral miles before reaching his desti-
nation.

the station. Randall went TO the sec

AGAIN IN TOLLS FOR
KILLING GAME OUT OF SEASON

Fred Klantzky, notorious for his eff
forts to exterminate the flock of Rocky
Mountain sheep that has for several
years made its habitat in the vicinity
of Adelaide and along the upper por-
ton of Phantom Canon, was taken in
custody by Game Warden L. A. Peteet
this morning and brought here and
locked up in the county jail pending
an investigation of the suspicious of
the authorities.
Klantzky was found in a cave near
bridge No. 13 on the F. & C. c. r. r.
and placed under arrest. No game of
any kind was found in the cavern that
he occupied, but the officers are con-
fdent that some of it is cached in the
vicinity. The game warden has been
looking for Klantzky in the neighbor-
hood of Adelaide for a week or ten
days, but was unable to obtain any
trace of him until this morning. when
it was accidentally learned that there
was a cave hundred yards or so from
bridge No. 13, which might afford him
a hiding place.
1t was suspected by the officers that
an associate by the name of Russell
was with him and had been his ac
eomplice in killing game, but no trace
of him was secured this morning and
it is believed that the missing man has
made his way to Victor or Cripple

REFUSED HONOR
FOR SERVICE

]. Pierpont Morgan, at the ripe old
age of 72 years, has Just assumed the
burden of the greatest financial en-
terprise ever undertaken by anyone
at that age. In the purchase of the
Thos. f. Ryan holdings of the Equit-
able Life Insurance Company he be-
came the head of the most gigantic
money trust in the world. thus put
ting to flight the new theory that a
man at the age of 40 should be dis
placed by one of 90; at so he is worth
less, and at so he is a usurper in
life's field of industry. This great
deal is the largest consummated in
the last decade, and will place this
great financier in control of $3,644,-
100000.
Our attention is also directed to
financial project lately consummated
at Canon City, which not only places
Dali DeWeese as chief figure in a
s1O.OO0,OOO reclamation and irrigation
scheme for the Arkansas valley, but
also represents decade of time, pa
tience and thoughtful concentration
in the development of this, the great
est proposition ever exploited in the
United States, either by private or
governmental supervision. The De-
Weese scheme means something more
than a financial enterprise; it means
the reclamation of territory at least
one hundred times the area of all the
irrigated lands in Fremont county.
and is one that will add to the value
of property and to the ADVANCEMENT
of the interests of the whole Arkansas
valley. It's far-reaching commercial
and industrial effects will accrue to
the interest of every inhabitant with
in It's radius; which will compensate
Mr.. DeWeese in this, the crowning
achievement of his life, for the loss
of sharing the honor. which it is said
he refused to perfect his scheme of
locating with Mr.. Peary the north
pole.-Salida Mail.
