Railroad wreek-None Killed.

Pueblo.-Sixteen people were uah-
gerously injured and score or more
of others were cut and bruised when
two day coaches on Denver & Rlo
Grande train were thrown into ditch
by defective rail while the train was
travelling thirty miles an hour, two
miles east of Cucharas Wednesday
morning at 2:3O O'Clock.
After plunging over an emDrahk-
ment ten feet high, the two coaches
landed upside down and the occupants
we're thrown about the interior against
the seats and window sashes, and
were bombarded from all sides by
shattered glass and broken timbers.
Chaos reigned within the wrecked
cars for several minutes after the ac-
cident and injured ones were trampled
under foot by those able to walk, IN
their haste to leave the cars.
Fearing that the coaches would be
destroyed by fire before the victims
could be rescued, strict orders were
issued by the leader of the party not
to light matches until gas which was
leaking from a severed connection had
cleared away.

Old Men in Responsibility.

The American business system.
which gives mere boys responsible po
sitions before they have acquired prac
tical experience, is to an EnglishmaL
quite unaccountable. He wonders
whether it does not cause reckless
trading and wild speculation. In other
countries they prefer to keep elderly
men in responsible positions because
they can be depended upon. Messrs.

RIGHTS OF OIL LOcATORS AND
MINERAL ENTRIES TO BE
PROTECTED.

Washlngton.-The Senate Wednes-
day passed Representative Taylor's
bill, previously passed by the House,
granting lands to Colorado cities and
towns for park purposes, with an
amendment adding the town OF Fruita
to those carried in the bill as 1t came
from the House.
This bill, as it passed the Senate,
authorizes the sale, at $1.25 per acre,
of tracts of public land to Colorado
towns as follows:
Six hundred and forty acres to
each of the towns of Glenwood

fle, Grand Valley and Gunnison; 24O
acres to Montrose, Pitkin and Meek
er; 16O acres to Dolores; so acres to
Olathe; 40 acres to De Beque and
Collbran.
The Senate public lands committee
decided to amend the bill authorizing
the President to make withdrawal OF
public lands by adding a provision
that the Withdrawals shall not affect
the legal rights of any settler or en-
tryman under the homestead or des-
ert land acts initiated prior to the or
der of withdrawal, and that mineral
entries and locations shall be except
ed from the Withdrawals made under
the proposed law. Also that locators
of oil lands who may have expended
large sums in developing their claims
shall be protected in the rights they
have thus acquired.
Western members of the Senate are
contemplating attaching to the DILL
when it passes, an amendment en-
bodying the provisions of the bill au-
thorizing the issuance OF S3O,OoO,oou
in certificates of indebtedness to COM
plete irrigation enterprises.
The House committee on irrigation
reported favorably the Warren Dill
previously passed by the Senate, au-
thorizing cooperation between the
reclamation service and private en-
terprises in building irrigation pro-
jects.

mated 36,32O acres of land in town

Stop
For the Critics.

Creston Clark, whose untimely
death at Asheville robbed America OF
a serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:
you chaps are unwilling to accept
a man for what he is. You want to
change him to your own taste. But
each of you has a different taste. Tc
whose inclination. then, is he to
bend?
mo, no! Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical attf
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin
once saw-an urchin who, as he
stoned a frog to death, repeated Sc

Nnl HAT General Grant was a

pressed upon a well-known
veteran. when he met
Grant near Vicksburg under rather
embarrassing conditions. He was In
General Hovey's old regiment. the
Twenty-fourth Indiana. from June
1861, until August, 1864.
"The stage of the great war drama
had. been shifted to Vicksburg and
vicinity" said the veteran In relating
his story. ION April 28, at Hard
Times Landing, thirty-five miles be-
low Vicksburg, | saw General Grant,
Governor Dick Yates and Fred Grant
(then a boy, apparently only thirteen
or fourteen years of age, but wearing
a captains shoulder straps) board
tug and cross the river. The can
nonading between our fleet and the
forts was terrific. and could see the
cannon balls come skimming along on
the water, some of them very near TO
General Grants tug, but he stood
calmly on deck, not In the least dis
turbed. The next day l crossed the
river on the flagship Benton and stood
within six feet of Grant for three
hours. He chewed an unlighted cigar

The Only ORIGINAL.

George Washington was very small,
very black and very new to the life
of the public school which he had Just
entered. His family had emigrated TO
the city from some unknown wilder
ness and the officers of the school
board had discovered little George,
and brought MIN into line with the
prospects of the higher education. 1t
was his first day and the teacher was
trying to make him at home.
And so your name is George WASH
ington?" said the teacher.
"Yassum, Jorge Washington"
And l suppose you try to be as like
him as little boy can, don't you?"
LAX who, mum?"

The youngster looked puzzled.
"Ah KANT help bein' LAX Jorge

Asked What We Were Doing There.


than ours, but we decided to take the
risk for a square meal. The day was
cloudy and dark and finally we lost
our bearings. But we had few
chickens. some sweet potatoes, peas
and duck or two, and SO really did
not worry over the situation. When
we were at last picked up by a patrol
guard of our own army we were so
relieved at not falling into the hands
of the enemy that we did not take our
predicament seriously. 1t was when
the guard took us to General Grants
own headquarters a short distance
away that we saw we had but stepped
out of the frying pan into the fire.
We knew Grant was good discipline
rian and we had broken the rules.
General Grant was not in his tent
at first, but soon came. He threw his
bride reins to an orderly and strobe
into his tent, giving us rather curl
GUS glance as he went by. In few
minutes he came out again and asked
us what we were doing there. Our
spokesman glibly manufactured tale
about a sick brother being weak and
hardtack on which to regain his
strength. 1t was at once evident that
General Grants sympathy had been
aroused.
"Then he proceeded to tell us that
he would forego punishment, in view
of the cause that had led us to go
foraging, but he asked us to promise
that we would never again be guilty
of such an act He said that we were
in the enemy's country and did not
know at what hour he would have to
order the army to move. He said he
knew we were short Of rations, but
that he had sixteen boats loaded down
with provisions waiting for us just
above Vicksburg. He said he would
get to them soon II all his plans to
dislodge and rout the enemy sue
ceeded.
you can bet we went away with
some new ideas about Grant. His talk
was our salvation, for General Hovey
was fully determined to make an ex-
ample of us until he heard General
Grant had ordered us back to our
company. That sick brother story
would not have done to tell General
Hoyey."

Debt owed to Boys In Blue.

1t is, perhaps, difficult for many OF
the present generation to appreciate
the nations obligations to the boys in
blue. But for them we should have
no union, and slavery would stain our

pay the debt 1t owes to these brave

of their heroic deeds perish from the
