ment for Canary

An odd story of bird friendship,
Vouched for IS true. was told by q
friend the other day:
My sister," said the friend, has a
canary. Every day, when the weather
is fine, she puts it's cage out OH the
porch where it can enjoy the sunlight
and the air. She has kept this up for
so many months, putting the cage al.
ways in the same place, that the
canary has made friends with the
sparrows who live near by.
In nesting time, myself have
seen the canary tear bits of paner
from the floor Of its house and push
them out to the sparrows, who use
them in building their nests. When
the winter IS at its height, and food
is. scarce, | have seen the sDarrOws
hop Familiarity up on the outside Of
the canary's cage, and help themselves
from It's seed cups. In return they bring
bits OF string and horsehair which
they have gathered, and push them
through the wire bars to the canary.
These are quite useless to the little
yellow singer, but ii seems to ap-
rreciate the spirit in which they are
given just tho same"

oIdtime Treatment of Maniacs

Vienna's Fools tower" which is
to be replaced by a more modern
building. was remarkable for its ex
traordinary collection of strange in.
struments and letters used in the
treatment of the insane of past ages.
There was a curious machine in which
unruly maniacs were swung until they
were in a state Of stupefaction and
therefore quiet And the same idea
caused the invention of wheel that
revolved like that in modern squirrel
cage. There was a narrow upright
box called an English coffin" from
which the patient could look out, but
could not move. When it was built
in 1894, the Fools tower" marked O
great change for the better in the
housing Of the insane. From 200 to $50
patients occupied its 1879 cells.

National Apple Day.

We doubt il many people in the

is known as the National Apple Day
Such a day occurs each year on the

is to stimulate the demand for apples
as a food and bring to the attention
of hotel and restaurant keepers as
well as housewives, the value of the
apple in producing palatable and nu
tritious table delicacies. Clinton l.
Oliver, secretary OF the Colorado Ma
tional Apple Exposition to be held in
Denver, Colorado, January to s
1910, has issued circular to all ap
pie growers and dealers calling theiI
attention to this day and asking tina,
1t be religiously observed by every
apple producer and handler in the
country. Be sure to order apple pie

Probably the Oldest white barber

Colorado board OF examiners, Is Rich
ard Lichtenheld OF Golden, who Il.
past II years Of age and has work
ed almost continuously at his trade
for fifty-five years. He has lost two
fortunes, one by the outbreak of the
civil war and the other in the panic
OF 1898.
dchtenheld was born in Saxony
Germany, in 1888, and was apprentic.
cd to New York City barber soon
after arriving in this country in 1854.
Four years later he established a
shop in Charleston, S. c. In those
days money was plentiful in the
South, and Lichtenhe!d acquired con-
siderable property.
Then came the war, and dark days
for Lichtenheld, whose sympathy for
the North was soon discovered by the
people OF Charleston. Finally he was
obliged to escape under cover of
night to avoid being forced into the
confederate army. A trunk contain
ing oil his valuable papers including
deeds to his property, was either
confiscated or lost in transit, and he
has never since been able to estab-
lish ownership Of his fortune in
South Carolina real estate.
Lichtenheld made his way to Ohio
where he enlisted as a private in the
One Hundred and Sixth Ohio infantry
early in 1862, and was discharged a
sergeant at the close Of the war. He
participated in number of battles
and was twice captured.
He came TO Colorado IN 1868. While
running a shop in Golden he spent
each summer mining in Gilpin or
Boulder counties, and became part or
whole owner of number Of good pro
ducing properties. but all were swept
away in the panic OF 1898. For year
or more Lichtenheld also ran a shop
in Central City, and was Senator
Henry NJ. Teller's favorite barber.
His two sons were reared to follow
their fathers footsteps, and the elder

few months ago to accept a job

met his death Saturday, according
to the following article which ap-

John Cody. 1881 Acoma ST., mar
rowly escaped death at 1870 O'Clock
this afternoon when the team of
horses he was driving dashed into a
telegraph pole at the corner of 18th
and fremont sts., near the U. S.
mint.
Cody is teamster for Dan Hines,
contractor. He was on his way for
a load Of craven when he stopped
at the watering trough on w. 'Colfax
ave-, at the intersection of 18th and
fremont.
'"I crawled out onto the pole to
check up 3-year-old mare. As l did
so the horse got frightened and
pitched me under the wagon. For
an old man like me and an ex-
perienced teamster,' said Cody, I
ought to have known better"
The team ran about 300 feet and
crashed into pole, wrecking the
heavy wagon. Cody escaped with sew
