HISTORY TOLD IN POTTERY.

one interesting feature of pottery
making is illustrated in some of the
beaver shaped pots found in the Miss
iss;ppi valley says the Southern
Workman. The pots are intended for
use, so the abdomen Of the beaver Ia
made unusually large that the :sssel
may have capacity. This is also true
of some vases in human form found in
the same region. Another interesting
thing about such pottery as the beaver
shaped pots is that they do not differ
particularly from vessels representing
other quadrupeds except for three or
four conventional signs For inssncc,

Big Chicken Steal.

One night last week a chicken
thief visited Leon Piquette's
place and depopulated his chicken
ranch to the extent of six dozen.
1t seems strange that any one
could get away with that many
chickens and not be caught, but
such seems to be the case. Mr..
Piquettes dog had been sick for
several days and it is thought
that the party must have been
aware of the fact as the animal
is very fine watch dog. The
family heard a commotion in
their chicken yard and got up
and dressed to see what the
trouble was, but by the time they
got out to the houses, the thief
or thieves had made their escape
with the six dozen fine, fat hens.
The Denver police and the country
generally were notified but no
trace of the parties has been
found.

and the people stayed by the
ticket. The issue, if there was
any, was settled at the mass

their stamp of approval on the
gentlemen who consented to ac-
cept the various offices by coming
out and voting for them.

Denver to Golden have pledged
$40, 600 to help construct such a
highway and that $4,000 more
could be raised. 1t was also
stated that convict labor could be
secured and the read could be
constructed for about 5000 a
mile. This would be great re-
duction according to the cost of
the jefferson avenue road which
was recently constructed.

The jefferson county good
roads convention at Golden Sat
urday was the opening of the
campaign for good roads and the
foothills park which is to be built
near Denver soon. There was a
large attendance of jefferson
county citizens and the conven-
tion had to be held in the court
house to accommodate the crowd.
Committees from the Denver
Chamber of Commerce and the
Denver Real Estate Exchange
were present and showed great
Interest in the movement. E. L.
West was elected chairman of the
organization andCharles F. Quain-
tance secretary.
The chief subject of discussion
was the foothills park, and many
reasons were advanced why JEFF
erson county should be chosen.

600 for a road from Denver to
Evergreen via Bear Creek urged,
it being pointed out that with the
building of that road and the COM
