they will make their future home. 1t
is understood that Denver parties
will occupy their former residence
here and will open firs.-class board

came to him he would jot it down on a
scrap of paper. His servant often
found bedclothes and floor covered
with white bits containing aphorisms
which have now become hackneyed
quotations.

DepiorabIe Accident at Frontenac.

caught in the machinery and his leg
drawn between the swiftly revolving
cogs. His frantic cries for help
brought immediate assistance but be-

crushed to pulp. The unfortunate
man was released from his perilous
position and Dr. Asquith summoned.
EXa amnation revealed that amputation
was imperative and Tuesday evening
he was taken to a hospital in Den

ed Tuesday night. Although extreme
ly weak from shock and loss of blood
his condition is such that no fatal
results are anticipated. The Frontenac
people rendered every assistance to
the injured man and he is receiving
the very best of care. Although oper-
attng one of the largest mines in the
district few accidents have occurred
at the Frontenac property. 1t appears
that the unfortunate affair came as
result of the victims own careless

About IT'S different pieces Of ma
terial enter into its construction, and
upward az 2,4O0 separate operations
are comprised in its manufacture.
Some OF the facts connected with
its performance are simply lncredh
ole, when considered in total. A
blacksmith strikes several hundred
blows on his anvil In day, and is
right glad when Sunday comes
around; but the roller jewel OF a
watch makes every day, and day af-

says matchmaker in the Chicago
News.
These figures are beyond the grasp
Of our feeble intelects, but the mar
vel does not stop here. It has been
estimated that the power that moves
the watch is equivalent to only four
times the force used in flea's jump;
consequently it might be called a
four-fea power. One horsepower
would suffice to run 27O,OOO,0o0
watches.
