DR.. Rockefeller and W. II. Wha-

with their new automobiles which
they drove from Denver. As the
Monarch pass route is not open yet
they had to come around by the
Ponchn pass route and through the
San Louis valley via Saguachc and
over the Cochctopa to Parlin.
After leaving Saguache they got
the wrong road which took them
over a hundred miles out of the
way and caused the delay of a day
in reaching home. The machines
are two of the finest ever brought
into town, they are very powerful
and will climb any hill or go over
any road that it is possible to
drive u team over. An expert
machine driver came over with the
Doctor and the two machines were
thoroughly gone over before his
return.

erect a 500 ton plant ut the portal
of the tunnel. This mill is to in

Hudson mill uses amalgamating

sulphidc ores of Idaho Springs.
The system WAS perfected under re-
strictcd conditions, with several
makeshifts, but the results have
been satisfactory and the average
value of the ore treated has been
about $40 ton, some Of it running
rs low rs $3.50.
A new mill, willie following in

How Grant Cured . Badly Scared Staff
Ofheer.
One Of General Grants newly ap-
pointed stan officers had never been In
any serious engagement. But almost
the hrst day that he reported to Grant
he was placed under a fire Of the hot
test and most severe kind. The scream.
ing of the balls, the roaring OF the can
non and the sharp crack and rattle of
the musketry thoroughly demoralized
him. He became absolutely sick and
paralyzed with fear. He was so weak
from nervous excitement that he lost
physical control over himself.
General Grant came up at the very
climax of his fright, and, noticing his
pale face. his blue lips and chattering
teeth. he said: Captain, you are fright
ened That is natural enough. You
will get over it. Suppose" continued
Grant, II should come to you with q
hat containing ninety nine white beans
and one black one and l should ask
you to thrust your hand into the hat a,
a venture and pick out the black bean
Do you think your chance Of getting
that black bean would be very good
Well, your chance for being hit under
this fire is no greater than your chance
for dra living the black bean"
This officer at once took heart. and
from then on he never showed the
slightest sign Of fear.-Life.

It Probably Changed the History Of the

The most striking case in history of
the Importance of trifies is furnished
by the story of Musa. the leader of
the Moslem host which won from
Christendom in three and a half years
dominions which it took the soldiers of
the cross twenty generations to win
back. He had red beard This was
a trife.
Musa, though a very great general.
was a very vain man. and he dyed his
beard black. This was another tribe.
One Of his captains chaffed him on the
subject, and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged. For this, a,
the very height of his conquering en-.
reer, Musa was recalled by the caliph
and disgraced. This made it 1mpossi
BILE for him to command the Moslem
army at the battle of Tours, on the is
sue Of which, as all historians agree
the destinies Of Europe and perhaps OF
the whole human race depended.
1t is almost certain that If the genius
of Musa had replaced the incompetence

The THeQterS

That Jack Lewis is popular with

This Is demonstrated in more ways

had great vogue a season or SO ago
and which was seen here at the Gen
nett, was reminiscent of the older

ray this week, has a haunting memory
Of both.
1t is. however, a good play. And
we'll put on by the Lewis Players, be
ing what is seemingly anomalously
called a serious comedy" and with q
definite plot. Mr.. Lewis as Jack
Padem" and Earl Simmons as ''Adri
an Karge," were the friends" both
in love with the same girl, an opera
singer impersonated by Miss Mabe
Frost. all three giving consistent
characterizations
The company, in short, gave a vel
balanced presentation, the mise er
scene of the second act being effect
i've, and we'll composed, as the artists
say, in its grouping.
Mr.. Jack Darlington had, perhaps
the most difficult role in the father
of the heroine, his impersonation of 6
man of high character under the in
fiuence of drink and drugs being vel
handled and without exaggeration
Mr.. Coyle was good as the irasciblt
parent of a poet, taken by Jack Lew
is, and Mr.. Wolcott gave one of the
most dramatically consistent imper
sonations in which he has so far beer
seen.
