DENVER, Colo, Sept. 9.--Are you
tall, good looking. and magnetic--the
sort of man that women will turn to
look at?
II you are there's Job waiting for
you on the Denver police force. You
won't have to wear blue coat and
brass buttons-your uniform will be
the best that the tailor and haber-

will be to lead fiirtatiously inclined
women into the police net.
In word, Denver Is to have a
"fiirt cop" but this individual Is TO be

who Is to discover when a roguish
smile, q sparkling eye, and fash OF

The C'olle9ian.
BY sERToN BRALEY.

College seals upon his letters,
College pennants on his wall.
College letters on his sweaters,
College clothes and shoes, and all;
College slang he's fond of singing,
width no end of savoir faire.
College songs he's always singing.
College cut" he wears his hair!
Oh, he tells of college capers
And he has college walk,
And he reads the college papers,
And he talks the college talk,
Sports a college belt and buckle,
Wears college fob and chain,
Laughs with quite a college chuckle
Swears in quite college strain.
Then he dances college fashion
And he eats at College Inns,
And he has a perfect passion
For displaying college pins
And you'd never In creation
Guess this student-calm and cool
Got his college education
In a correspondence school! -

on striking out until she reached
stiller waters and approached within
400 yards OF the opposite rocky shore
after an hour OF billow tossing had
become history.
The rest OF the journey, though
comparatively short called upon all
the reserve energies that the plucky
girl possessed, and she was fully 10
minutes without apparently moving
an inch, so strong rushed the current
through the main channel Of the Gate.
The only sign of fatigue exhibited by
the swimmer during the journey was
here noticeable, as she made several
faint appeals to her coach, Pomeroy,
to lend a hand with the oar. But a
word OF two Of encouragement had
the desired effect. and she was event
ually waited away by the outrushing
tide away from the current. That
ended the battle with the waves and
the swim was soon over.

to the eastern part of the Unit
ed States, when young man, aft

and which he sold to the late Samuel

OBITUARY.

BY the deaths that occur around
us daily we are reminded constant =
ly that the longest life covers but a
brief period and the distance from
the cradle to the grave is but at best
a span.
Mrs. Elizabeth Murray Wade, whose
death was chronicled in these columns
last Monday was probably our Oldest
citizen and it is only fitting that one
so aged and whose life has been mark
ed by so many vicissitudes should he
given more extended notice.
Elizabeth Murray was born IN he
Cumberland mountains ninety-six
years ago. AS she lived far from the
industrial centers she, in common with
all her associates, became proficient
in all handiwOrk necessary to pre-
pare every article Of clothing from
the growing of the flax and cotton to
the intricate dressmaking arts.
Elizabeth Murray's father was II
slave owner and her early childhood
was spent with the little slave chill
dren. When she became young lady
her father gave her a colored girl
to care for her personal wants.
In 1845 she married and moved TO
a farm five miles from Atchison, Kas,,
where at that early date white women
tvara indaad scarca Here her eipht
children were born. Two have pre-
ceded her to the other side. Those
surviving her are Mrs. Zell Letcher
of st. Joe, Mo-; ]. W. Wade of Chi
|cago, Boone Wade of Antonito, Hal
ilton Wade, Jackson Wade and Mrs,
Barker of this city. 1t was with the
latter and her granddaughter, Mrs
Johnnie Farrell of Pine river her de
clining days were passed.
Shortly after the death of her hus-
band in the waning seventies she came
to Colorado where she has resided con-
tinuously since that date. She lived
near Colorado Springs until ten years
ago. The last decade of her life was
spent in or near Durango. Being coun
try born and bred she was never so
happy as when living near to the
heart of nature.
Elizabeth Wade possessed unusual
mental ability which was evidenced
to the last. Through her whole life
she was firm believer in the Chris
tian religion. Her faith in Him who
doeth all things well" gave her for
titude to bear the ills that resulted
from her advanced age with the se
renity of unswerving patience and
we'll grounded hope.

dcnds and we have the testimony OF
those who apparently have been lead
ers among their class To prove that We
are right.
The best counterfciter of bank
notes the world has ever known, we
have forgotten his name, said, to a lot
Of young men who visited the peni
tentiary at which he was stopping"
that "if had have gone into any
legitimate line OF business and used
the same energy and persistence that
/ have used in my unlawful profession,
might easily have been wealthy
and respected member of society,
man with home instead Of an out
cast"
Sol Waterman, the noted horse thief
Of Kansas and Missouri, spent thirty
two out of his sixty years, in the peni-
tentiaries of the two states. He said
that the business Of stealing the prop
erty Of others and converting it into
cash had never paid him even section
hand wages"
A Kansas banker who stole from
the bank q vast sum of money and
fled to South America found that 1t
did not pay. He died in government
hospital during cholera epidemic and
was, it is said, buried before his heart
had stilled. He left letter which
was sent to his son in which he said
1.-THE money for which I traded my
home, the love Of my children and my
wife, the respect Of my neighbors and
my own self-respect, has been TO me
only a curse and ! would now give
every dollar / have to hear one kind
word from an old friend"
Only a few weeks ago woman
threw herself into the river and died
suicide. She had been wooed from
happy though humble home by a
libertine who played upon her love of
dress and excitement and, after few
weeks Of swift life, was deserted by
the wretch who had ruined her life.
Did she find profit in the step?
In this city very recently there was
young man, the husband of an in
telligent and loving wife, the father Of
three little children, who had good
position and was drawing substan-
tial salary, one which was amply suf
fcient, If carefully used, to maintain
himself and family in comfort If not
| in luxury. He became attracted by
the possibilities of the gambling
games and lost not only all his own
money but the money belonging to
others which was entrusted in his
hands, in gambling. He is now wan
derer on the face of the earth, his
wife, whom he deserted, leaving
here with the children in destitute
condition, obtained divorce and went
to her people broken-hearted wom-
an, the children will be taken care of
by relatives and will never know more
of their father who will probably
never see them again. Did he find
profit or loss? Was the momentary
excitement of the game worth the
price paid?
To the young man and young woman
reader we want to carry the news that
the only thing that pays is straight
forward and honorable life in all its
various ways, the respect of others
and your own self-respect is worth
more than any money value which
can be imagined. There is no doubt
of this fact, the jails and the asylums
ot the country are full of individuals
who have tried the lanes Of vice and
the quick roads to wealth and their
testimony Is, in every case, that ''it
don't pay"
