10 THE MEMORY OF ". 0. PARSONS.

offer this as humble tribute Of
respect to the memory of W. o.
Parsons, who was regarded by me as
my friend and a studiOus, able and
efficient member of the bar of this
judicial district, and who was so sud-
denly called in the early sprins-time
of his manhood to another sphere of
life.
He was genial, companionaBle
gentleman with those with whom he
formed an acquaintaneeship and inn
pressed one with his dignifed and
studious manner in the pursuit of his
profession. His brethren of the bar
with whom he associated and prac-
ticed will miss him because of his
readiness to advise and counsel with
them, his pains-taking Investigation
and clear analysis of legal questions
submitted to him by them and his
conservatism in giving results thereof,
his urbanity and ccurteousness in the
conduct of cases, and withal his
promptness and zealousness in behalf
of his clients.
But he has obeyed the last sum
mons, and nothing that we can do or
say will recall and restore him to US
or the home made desoIate by his
departure. A few tears, a few words,
few flowers are all that we can give
the dead. These we freely give him,
and let US not forget that his grave
covers every defect, hides every re-
sentiment, and from its peaceful
bosom spring only tender regrets and
pleasant recollections. May the soft
breezes of his native valley blow gen
tie requiems over his grave.
Blow soft Ger our dead 0, cool
winds, blow!
Whence ye have come, or whittier
ye go,
From a far-off cline, to a distant
bourne,
Ye are passing swiftly,-ye never
return,
Ye tell no tales, and we cannot know,
When your rustling wings are muir
muring low.
When ye come SO near US, with low
ing kiss,
And with perfumed breath,-lfke
those We miss,
fe hold US moment in close em-
brace,
And like them ye pass, and leave no
trace.
Moaning softly, our grief ye tell.
Do they hear it, Wind, who loved US
well;
Howling in fury, ye wake our dread
Of the waters they crOssed-our
peaceful dead.
Who bids ye come, and who bids ye.
go,
In whose mighty hand ye are held,
we know.
From the hither shore, to the far
away,
Blow softly Ger our dead, cool Wind,
to-day

above the water and still under the
log Diving down they come up un

hold their heads out of the water

ter drifting little way they heard a
splash of water, and Bob saw an
Indians body hanging below the
log Taking the knife he had taken
from the tent he thrust it into the
log in doing so, while the Indian
sank to rise no more. A bout noon
they landed and struck out towards
the west In an hour they were on
the open prairie. They hid in an
old buffalo waIlow until night then
resumed their journey. The next
morning they saw a body of horse
men in the distance and coming to-
ward them. Fearful least they were
Indians, they again hid.
In two hours they could see the
men were United States cavalry.
Rushing from their hiding place,
they ran toward the soldiers, the
men breaking into a gallop at the
same time. When they got up to the
children. they all dismounted and
Bob told his story The commander
said, He did not know a captain

her he said he was positive that she
was his little daughter whom he had
not seen for rs,although he had

Now Bob had found his sister and
his father and escaped all the periis

asked single business man to with
hold his support from the new papers
on personal grounds.
1t is strictly a business proposition
-merely a matter of self protection.
Too many newspapers create an
unjust tar on the business public.
The business man who knows what
advertising is fully appreciates this.
He knows that paying for advertising
In duplicate circulation. Is throwing
money away. So the Canon City bus
mess men almost to a man refuse to
give any material support to the new
propositions.
The result was that one OF the
morning dailies has gone to the wall.
Its end came a little sooner than
was expected. but in a conservative
old town like this. already overwork-
ed by newspapers, no other result
was possible. not even II II had been
much better financed.
Canon City is pretty well repre-
sented by newspapers. 1t supports
these fairly WE'LL

one OF the strongest and best local
dailies in the state in towns the size
of Canon City.
The Weekly Record, which has
been the leading paper In this county

in politics and clean in all its poll
cies.
The Weekly Times-a strong advo-
cate of Prohibition and Democracy.
The Weekly Cannon--a good local
county paper, advocating Democratic
principles.
The Messenger--the church paper.
Besides these we have with us at
present the Morning Cannon, of
which 1t cannot be said that II has
much visible support.
II costs money to run all these pa
pers and the business men pay the
bills. To add another would cost
the business men on Main street si0,-

The business men are wise In decid-
ing TO use the money for better pur-
pose.
