When my hand was dealt me there were two kings in it. 1 drew three cards, one of them being a king. The card l had picked up off the floor was king. I had given up an ace, so no one could hold four aces. The only hand to beat four kings was a royal flush. pretty hard hand for any one to purpOsely make up while being watched.

The Meredith Cocoanut.

George Meredith may not have been an altogether familiar author to the ordinary reader who craves for quick sensation. He never came down to the simplicity of Sherlock Holmes or Captain Kettle. Meredith required an acute and trained intellect before he could be appreciated.
 It was once mentioned. in referring to the difficulty which some people ex- perience in reading Meredith's novels, that the Meredith "cocoanut" was very hard. but that the milk when reached proved to be very sweet This joke got into the papers.
 Two days afterward well known firm of fruiterers had au inquiry after these cocoanuts from country cus- toner! The letter was to the effect that. having read somewhere that Meredith's cocoanuts have had large sale lately and that the milk was fashionable, the writer would like to have few to try.-London Tatler.

HIS NARROW ESCAPE,

 when l was twenty-five years old I passed crisis in my life at which I shudder today. though it happened for ty years ago. For two hours was suspended, so to speak, between a life Of comfort and prison, and the two hours ended with five minutes between life and death.
 This is how it happened:
 When the Union Pacific railroad was building l was taken up by one of it's most influential directors with il view to preferment The only position he could secure for me at frs. was pay master. but promised if proved worthy to do better later on My work was to go over the line as far as conl- pleted in pay car and pa, off the em- ployees. Well. on one of these trips I reached Julesburg. then the terminal though Laramie was to be made the terminal in few days paid off at Julesburs, having between S4,OOO and $o,OOO left for the force at Laramie, and was to go there the next morn- ing.

WaIkinq.

The ordinary man who is employed indoors throughout the day does not walk enough. He needs the fresh air and sunshine of the outdoors, and, no matter how tired he may be, short time in the open air will rest him. If he has no opportunity to walk during the evening. he ought to do it in the morning. There is no better tonic than two mile walk before going to work. Some business men who live some distance from their offices or stores walk down regularly every morning and are greatly benefited thereby. No matter how sluggish they may feel on arising. the morning walk puts them in good trim for the days work. Exercise in the open afr starts the blood to circulating in every artery and vein in the entire system, opens up the pores of Inc skin, so that the waste matter in the body may be set free. limbers up the joints and muscles and puts one in shape for the duties of the day.-St. Joseph Gazette.

PLANS TO ORGANIZE ANOTHER
GREAT COLORADO WATER
POWER COMPANY.
M'FADDEN CANAL DEAL
WILL INCLUDE THREE CANAL sYs-
TENS At AGGREGATE COST
OF $1o,ss4,ee1.

Denver.-The Republican Thursday
Forming prints the following:
Complete plans for a gigantic water
power organization. intended to COM
pete with the Northern Colorado
Power Company's works in northern
aud eastern Colorado. were fully re-
vealed yesterday when George B. Nc
Fadden. engineer, filed maps and spec
ifications in the state engineers office
additional to those filed one year ago.
The deal is being swung by Denver
capital and is one OF the most ambi-
tcus power company propositions ever
formulated in this state. Only one
feature OF the plans as submitted is
the construction of dam 400 feet in
height to form the Elkton reservoir.
hll reservoirs are to be located on the
Clche la Poudre river. and the total ag-
gregate cost OF the three reservoir
systems with their corresponding pipe
line and canal system is s10.9S4.GG1.
The plans are filed under the guise
Of an irrigation project. although this
Is known to be the smallest part of
the enterprise.
The prospectus states that the sys-
tens to be installed will furnish irriga.
ton for l49.s00 acres of land in Lari'
mer. Weld. Logan. Sedgwick, Morgan,
Washington. Phillips. Yuma. Adams
and Boulder counties.
The company will store water first
IN the Roosevelt reservoir. the farthest
up the Cache In Poudre river. Water
viii then be piped down t the juno
ton OF the Elkhorn and dropped per
r"ndicularly in falls ON the Niagara
plan adopted by the Central Colorado
Power Company at its Shoshone works
II, this state near Glenwood to gcner-
ate it's power. The water will then be
run down to the Stove Prairie rescr.
voir. and after leaving This reservoir
viii be used for irrigation purposes.
-hc canal and pipe system as filed yes
tcrday in the state engineers office
nre for power creating purposes. The
company expects to build Its own ca
nails and laterals for irrigating pur-
poses and supply with Its 10000
100000 cubic feet Of water 100000
acres OF land In the course of time. al
trough II does not possess this amount
OF land.
The Central Colorado Power Com
pany. under the name OF the Eastern
Colorado Power Company. has entered
into competition with the Northern
Colorado plant. already with a
plant near Boulder and the
new company will make the third big
combine in northern Colorado. One OF
the most important Developments from
the competition Of the power com
panies will probably be the interlacing
Il northern Colorado by electric rail
way lines. said to be one OF the objects
Of the new company.
The reservoirs themselves are
claimed under the following specifica-
tions:
Roosevelt reservoir-origlnal capac-
ity. 4.67S.S14. 400 cubic feet. capacity
after enlargement, 5.l03. 1.95s cubic
feet.
Elkhorn reservoir-original capac.
ity, 692.915.344 cubic feet: capacity
