Who will be with me, when am

the Heir.
Quoth the Angel: ''Nought will
be with thee but thy works.
II have no works" said the Heir.
And replied the Angel: Doubt
less. thine abiding place will be in
the fire.
When the Heir heard this, he
wept grievously and groaned, say
ing: May God curse the wealth
that hath undone me and diverted
me from usefulness"
Whereupon the gold that was in
the Heirs pocket spoke, and said:
why dost thou curse me? Curse
myself for God created both me
and thee of the dust, and appointed
me for usefulness and goodness,
but thou and thine did hoard me up
and bestowedst me on thine own
lusts, neither gave thanks for me,
and now must leave me to thine
enemies" And tnen the Angel of
Death made off with the Heirs soul

IN AND SERIOUS con-

ers of the Daily Record to learn that
the condition OF little Miss Genevieve
Cox. who had the misfortune to break
her right arm while playing with
some companions in the City park last
Sunday afternoon, has become very
serious as the result of blood poison
ing. She was conveyed from her home
on Riverside avenue. South Canon. to
the hospital in this city Tuesday af-
ternoon and her arm amputated near
the shoulder to prevent the poison
from spreading to other parts OF her
system. The amputation was perform
ed by DIR. Cochems of Salida and was
a successful piece OF surgical work.
The condition OF the little sufferer
Tuesday afternoon was such as to
create the utmost apprehension as to
the outcome of her illness. indeed. il
is yet regarded as critical. She Is sew
en- years Of sge and is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Cox. Her father,
who is employed at Leadville, came
home on Monday and has since been
at her bedside.

Evan Albeit, a young man about
twenty years of age, was accidentally
killed at Williamsburg as the result
Of a blast in a mining shafe at 2:45
O'Clock last Sunday morning. For
several days past the Rocky Noun
tain Fuel company, which owns the
coal mines at that place, has been
engaged in sinking a shaft near the
center of the town and it was while at
work there that young Albeit lost his
life.
The shaft was forty-two feet in
depth and a tripod had been erected
directly over 1t as means of hoist
ing the loose rock as fast as 1t was
blasted by the miners. The company
has been requested by the village au-
thorities to use the maximum guam
tity of powder in its blasting opera

people in the vicinity In consequence
Of Tying rock from the bottom of the
shaft.
For some reason the request was
disregarded in making one of the
blasts Sunday morning and the un-
