Mr.. Todd came to La Junta some

tered the employ of the company
again. as hostler in the local yards.
I He fell from the engine one night
while a, work and was rolled over
the ground for some distance. and
received injuries from which he
never fully recovered. For years he
has been clerk and driver for dif-
ferent firms. About one year ago.
while engaged in running laundry
wagon. he was way-laid, sandbagged.
and robbed. This aggravated his old
I troubles and caused him great deal
of suffering, and he found II neces-
sary to resort TO the use OF opiates
10 relieve the intense pain.
Two weeks ago he packed his
grip and started on trip to Kansas
City and St Louis TO visit relatives
He has brother living near Kansas
City and two sisters at ST. Louis He

and lying on the bed. She notified
the proprietor, and Investigation be
ing made he was found TO be dead

an overdose OF the cocaine and died
while under the effects of the drug
He had written letters to his wife
and daughter, Mabel. OF this city. al
SO to his married daughter, Mrs. w
Z. McCarty, Of Lowell. Mich, but he

bridges. railroad stations. hotels and po
icemen and city debt are the biggest in
the world, but its churches are very
binary in size.
New York is composed of Americans,
Jews, Italians. Huns, Slavonians Lith-

hemians in equal numbers. The eighth
ward on the east side is the receiving
ward for most of the immigrants who
come TO this country. The United States
has established consulates all over the
East Side and the American tourist can
now travel through This part of the city
in safety.
The people of New York are the busiest
in the world. 1t keeps them husttng
trying to spend the money that the rest
of the country makes. The sights of the
city are the Brooklyn bridge, the Hudson
river, the Great White Way which is
Broadway, the great whitewaSheI way,
which is Wall street; Perpont Morgan
buying railroads. Harry Thaw on trial.
Hetty Green spending money. the Flat
iron building. the Flatbroke brigade and

is doing something that he is glad his
dad doesn't know about.
To the older boy It is doing something
he is glad his mother doesn't know about
To the young woman it means having
some young man spend money for her.
To the married woman it means max

The practical joker has fun when he
can get some other fellow into trouble
The millionaire has fun when he can get

The hunter has fun when he tries to
get ducks and pneumonia at the same

The college boy has fun when he can
get between a football and twenty

The college professor has fun when he

Having fun means to the wife and
