How to Grow Dollars.

Every worker in the ranks hopes
for a competence that will make his
old age comfortable and independent.
Sudden strokes of fortune are rare,
and, besides, they seldom come to
those who fail to put up their light
ming rods. There is no royal way to
wealth, and the only way the average
persons can hope for that competence
is by saving. You must plant pennies
and nickels and dimes now, that they
may grow to dollars when you need
them. That seems rather slow way,
to be sure, but 1t is the only way
You can't any more hope to gain in
dependence by spending all you make
than you can hope to grow potatoes
by eating them. Besides. 1t isn't
nearly SO slow as it seems. 1t is
slowest at the start. 1t gets fast
er all the time you keep it up, and
then is when it will begin to be really
nteresting.-Duluth Herald.

Desires of Men of Science.

Men of science care less for the find
ing of the actual poles of the earth's
axis than for the exploration of the
lands and seas surrounding them. DR..
William Bruce points out that the only
extensive work remaining to be done
in the arctic region is the detailed in
vestigation of the north polar basin.
In the southern hemisphere almost
everything south of latitude 40 de-
grees, corresponding with that of
Philadelphia in the northern hemi-
sphere, requires a thorough investiga-
ton.

A WOODLAND TRAGEDY

"He prayeth best who loveth best,
both man and bird and beast" sung
the wise poet and there was certain
iy ample opportunity to demonstrate
the truth of his lines in the woodland
retreat occupied by boy Charlie and
myself. No sooner had | condescended
to strip off my aggressive individuality
for while, and put myself implicitly
into the general order. and drift with
the ordained arrangement, than the
general order came inquiringly up to
my threshold and held out paws and
beaks and mandibles, and wagged tails
as if 1t carried in its poor, half-de-
veloped consciousness a kindly desire
to renew the paradisaical truce. 1t is
astonishing how quickly the gossip of
the wood carries. The birds told the
squirrels and the squirrels told the
woodchucks: THAT man and his boy
in the Hotchkiss hut are not killers. 1t
is incredible, but true, they haven't
destroyed anything since they ar
rived"
This rumor appeared to have excited
the curiosity of every bug and beast
and creeping thing within half a mile
of u.s. There was one adventurous
chipmunk which. having heard these
flying yarns in the bush, resolved to
find out for himself, and being of a
reckless disposition, he sat on our win
dow-ledge one morning. and pushed
his impertinence over the table where
there were some peanuts that Charlie
had left scattered about. We stood
still and watched him, and he sat up

COLDEN'S GOLDEN
ANNIVERSARY
COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES
CITY QUIETLY PASSES ITS
FIFTlETH BIRTHDAY.
ARE MISSED
GENERAL WEST, CAPTAIN BER'
THOUD AND D. K. WALL HAVE
GONE BEFORE.

Denver.-A Golden special to The
Denver News Thursday says: Today
is Golden's fiftieth birthday, and not
one person present at the christening
in 1859 is here to celebrate. A few OF
the original settlers still live, but none
near the present city of Golden. Capt.
e. l.. Berthoud and ID. X. Wall, both of
whom died within the year, were the
last of the original pioneers who re-
sided continuously within a few miles
of the town they founded.
Fifty years ago today hardy band
of New Englanders pitched camp on
the banks of what is now known as
Clear creek. They were George West,
James Mcdonald, Walter Pollard, Mark
Blunt, James McIntire, Thomas Pan
ton and Joseph Bird, and styled them
selves the Boston company. They had
brought n small stock of general mer-
chandise across the plains, and imme-
diately opened up for business with
the prospectors who We're then flock
ing into the mountains. Two weeks
after their arrival work was COM
menced on the first business house in
the new town. The first floor was oc-
cupied by the Boston Company's
store, and in the second George West
placed the printing plant he had
freighted at great expense by OK teams
from st. Joseph, Mo-. and commenced
publication of the Western Mountain
eer.
The town of Golden city was organ
ized by James Mcdonald, George West,
Walter Pollard, Mark Blunt, James Nc
Intyre, Thomas Panton, Joseph Bird,
d. X. Wall, J. NJ. Ferrell, J. C. Kirby,
j. C. Bowles, w. A. II. Loveland. H. ].
Carter, Ensign Smith, E l.. Berthoud,
William Davidson, James w. Stanton,
w. II. Clark and John Beebe. Twelve
hundred and eighty acres were marked
for the townste, one-fourth of which
was staked into blocks and lots. The
final survey was not entirely COM
pleted until early in 1860. By this
time the town had population of 500.
Golden's first municipal election
was held April 10. 1860. and resulted
as follows: j. w. Stanton, mayor;
S. NJ. Breath, recorder; w. C. Simp-
sui, uldTSudl, w. ~. II. LONelduu,
treasurer; R. Barton, j. NJ. Johnson,
r. 7. Davis, ID. G. Dargin, o. B. Henry,
A. B. Smith, w. ]. Smith and John
Kirby, councilmen. OF the above but
one is living at Golden, d. G. Dargin,
who still enjoys the best Of health and
is a persistent prospector.
A few days after the Boston Com
pany camped on Clear creek, the
stream became raging torrent. and
John Ferrel built bridge in the exact
spot where the Washington avenue
bridge is now located.
Several months ago the Golden I'm.
provement Club considered a celebra.
tion to commemorate the city's fifti-
eth birthday, but the project was aban-
doned. But few of the present popu-
lation realize the Importance of the
day.

Take Your Umbrella with You.

To the visitor in Paris a hat is
rather necessary in winter and a
Baedeker is desirable, but an UNI
brella is Indispensable, writes Ellis
Parker Butler in Putnam's. Paris
lans would be less surprised to see
an umbrella going out for walk
without person than to see a
person going out without an UNI
brella. Only idiots and feeble
minded ever do it. In Paris they
do not have a commissioner of in
sanity to test the sanity of people.
They wait until there is sunny
winter day-they have one every
three or four weeks-and then they
send the suspect out for a walk in
the sun. If he goes without an UNI
brella they put him in an asylum.
They know he is crazy. They don't
think so, they know so.

NEW METHOD OF ADVERTISING
Popularity Of Moving Picture Shows
Taken Advantage OF by Wide
Awake Manufacturer.

A novel method of presenting argu-
ments in favor of his products has
just been put into operation by man
ufacturer In the middle west. A mo-
ton picture act has been devised with
all the care that is given to such
performances by the best of the film
makers of France and the United
States.
The services of a playwright and
of actors and actresses were secured,
says System. and playlet was pro-
duced with all the dramatic force that
has made the motion picture show so
popular. Talking machine records
were made to accompany these films.
Both these records and the films
were sent out to the company's rep
resentatives in the various cities, in
turn lent by them for gratuitous use
to the proprietors of the motion pic
ture theaters, who were glad of the
opportunity to save the money usu-
ally paid for rentals of such mate
rials.
Thus the need of the company's
product was emphasized and unique
but effective selling talk was deliv-
cred to the public, who paid for the
privilege of hearing it. Films are
now being made that will simulate
flying machine trip from New York
to the factory, with motion views of
he various cities en- route taken from
1bove and including trip through
he factory departments and showing
as finale one of the machines as
sembling itself rapidly and mystic
riously without the assistance of hu-
man hands.

a TIE Deum.
Suddenly there broke in upon it all
