The Reshoar.RareIa Contest.

The Senate committee on privileges
and elections began the examination
of witne sses in the Beshoar-Barela
contest on Wednesday, holding day
and night sessions. Many witnesses
were examined. The principal claim
of the contestor is that the county
commissioners of Las Anamis county
failed TO select for Democratic judges
the persons designated by the Demo
cratic county chairman. 1t was sought
to be shown, however. that because the
commissioners failed to do this, the
Democratic party did not have proper
representation at the November cleo
ton.

According to Expert Opinion, Play
wright Had Got Off Easy.

That Beerbohm Tree, the player,
has a caustic wit is evidenced by an
incident wherein he and an unknown
playwright figured.
The writer had obtained permission
to read his offering to Tree. The actor
evinced no great degree of enthus-
isam, either during or after the read
ing; but he did take the manuscript,
upon which he scribbled hastily few
suggestions for its betterment.
"See here. Mr.. Tree was the indig-
nant ejaculation of the ambitious play
wright, its hardly fair of you to dis
pose Of my work in this summary and
nonchalant fashion. I'd have you
know that this play cost me years

BIG CELEBRATION OF CARBONATE
CAMPS THIRTIETH ANNI-
VERSARY.
CITY IN GALA ATTIRE
MARVELLOUS CHANGES WILL
GREET THE VISION OF
OLD-TlMERS.

Leadville.-Every incoming train is
bringing in it's little party of former
Leadvilleites who have strayed away
from the great carbonate camp, but
who are here to exchange reminis-
cences with associates of thirty years
ago upon the strenuous happenings of
the early days.
Manager S. D. Nicholson, of the
Western Mining Company, has com
pleted the task of opening the Wolf
tone shaft for the reception and enter,
tainment of the visitors. The old tim
ers will for a few hours be his guests
at most unique entertain
ment 100 feet below the surface of the
earth.
He has chartered a special train on
the Denver & Rio Grande which will
convey the visitors from the city to the
mine on Carbonate hill. The giant
hoist will lower the people to the sta
ton, where the entertainment will take
place. This station has been boarded
up almost to resemble a room of the
house. The walls have been painted
and decorated and except for the op-
ening, which leads into the drift of the
mine, it could easily be mistaken for a
well appointed hall.
Myriads of incandescent lights have
been artistically arranged so as to bril-
liantly illuminate the place. Bunting
and flags from prominent part in the
decorations. A piano will be taken into
the mine, which will furnish the ac-
compartments for an octette of young
ladies who will sing popular airs.
In the hotel lobbies and at various
places the returning seventy-niners are
swapping stories of their early day
experiences. Many tales that in the
rush of events of those exciting times
were overlooked or blue penciled by
the newspapers of those days are now
coming to light for the first time, but
in the lapse of years they have been
tinged with the probable inaccuracy
that goes with being dormant in the
minds of their relators for so long.

JOY WORK
And the Other Kind.

Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number who
were forcing themselves along be-
cause it meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfully and eagerly pur-
suing their way because of love of
their work.
1t is a fact that ones food has much
to do with it. AS an example:
If an engine has poor oil, or boiler
is fired with poor coal, bad result is
certain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch of
healths temple and you will find
"Grape-Nuts" as daily food is the
most nourishing and beneficial you can
use
We have thousands of testimonials,
real genuine little heart throbs, from
people who simply tried Grape-Nuts
out of curiosity-aS last resort-with
the result that prompted the testimo-
nial
If you have never tried Grape-Nuts
it's worth while TO give it a fair impair
tial trial. Remember there are mil
lions eating Grape-Nuts every day
they know, and we know if you will
use Grape-Nuts every morning your
work is more likely to be joy-work, be-
cause you can keep well, and with the
brain well nourished work is joy
