BUSINESS BOOMERS
Copyright 1912 by Geo. L. Patterson.

The difference between a dead town and a live town is the differ
enc between dead merchants and live merchants. Some merchants
re sc dead or free from enterprise that it takes sizzling hot thrusts to
awaken enough life in them to eve penetrate the outermost rim Of
business progress. They will sit around ende avoring to catch trade
that comes to town without offering Inducements to draw business.
They tell the public that they do ct advertise in the newspapers but
give their trade the benefit Of the little money they might spend in
advertising by giving them more for their money than the advertiser
(which they know is a faIsehood. The advertiser always gives more
and better goods or the money than the merchant who doesn't adVer-
tie, for the advertisers goods are turned quicker and are always nw
and uptodate. Besides the advertiser is thu town boomer, While the
non-advertiser is the town sponser, The advertiser through TIT med
ium of his ads, is reaching out and bringing ley people to town to
trade and is thus both directly and indirectly advertising the town.
There is a way in which every person trading in this town al help
the town and that is to encourage enterprise by patronizing tc ner
chant who does advertise. That's n way to boom a town that should
have vi admiration.
This is the first of a series Of articles prepared for the merchant
who wants a better business. Our aim is o be Of service to the enter
prsing merchant.

Some time ago a young lady
and a gentleman, whom we will
say to make the story sound good,
was her sweetheart, came out
from Denver one evening for a
nice car ride and decided to walk
around our little city while wait
ing for their car. They had
probably not been in the smaller
town much and were not used to
the irrigating bitches that flow
through SO many Colorado towns.
They were walking along, not
caring where they were going,
perfectly happy, when ker-
splash, and they had stepped
into the ditch, where several
inches of water was flowing.
We failed to quite catch the ex-
preston used by the lady, but it
was very easy to understand
what the young man had to say
even if it wouldn't sound we'll in
print. They had attempted to
cross the street where there was
no crossing,

BOY BROWNS
UNDER The ICE

Westminster Colo, Nov. 81. -
While his father, Otis Void, a
farmer, stood helpless on the
bank Of a lake near his home,
Forster Void, 13, dared his
chums to skate on thin ice and
then broke through into the wa
ter, not to come up until his life
less form was dragged from the
lake by the coroner.
The boy had finished his even.
ing meal when chums came to
the door asking him to go skat-
ing. The boys mother asked
him not to go and the father de-
cided to accompany the boys to
the lake. The mothers fears
were lessened.
"I'll dare you boys to follow
me" cried young Void, as he
skated toward the center of the
lake. The ice began to give,
but the boy thought it was rub
ber" ice and would hold him.
One of his companions started
out, when the ice broke and the
Void boy went to the bottom.
He screamed once for help, but
was beyond aid.
The father tried to get to the
spot where his son had gone
down, but the ice would not hold
him. The coroner was notified
and by laying boards on the ice,
rescuers were enabled to get
near the hole and take out the
boys body with graphing hooks.
Find Bride on Pixies Peak
AS Valde f. Hecht of Denver
stood on the summit of Pixies
peak one morning last summer
with a group of strangers, one
of them, young woman, tainted.
and he promptly caught her in
his arms.
1t was noticed by the others
that Mr.. Hecht didn't seem to
object to holding the young wo-
man, either, for he was so anx-
ious to hold her that he took off
his sweater and placed it around
her, still holding her, and he was
so solicitous about her that hs
held to her, attending to her on
the ride down the peak.
The young woman was Miss
Dorothy Chamberlain Of Wheat
ridge, and 50 interested did the
Denver man become in her that
Two or three times a week he
called at her house to see how
she was getting along, and a few
days ago the two went to Boulder
and were married, all Of which
goes to show that a fainting
young woman and a gallant
young man can start a romance
even ON the summit Of Pixies
peak.
Mr.. Hccht checrfully admits
that he had no intention OF
searching for bride on Pixies
peak, but was only searching for
| pleasure; hence, in the latter en-
dcavor, when he saw a pretty
! young woman fainting, he ran to
her with outstrctchcd arms.
Mrs. FIccht is equally sure that
she had no intention Of gather
|. ing in a husband when she
tainted, for as a matter Of fact,
she didn't know she was going
to faint At the foot Of the peak
was Il photographer who took
their pictures, and, quite natur-
ally that led to an exchange OF
names, addresses and mutual
thanks, for Of course, Mr.. Hecht,
being gallant, thanked the young
woman for fainting when he was
by her side.
Mr. Hccht is known on the
North Side Of Denver as the
mushroom king" as he has one
Of the largest mushroom farms
in the state and is a pioneer in
this industry in Colorado.

SEEN AND HEARD
AROUND TOWN

The other evening as we were
coming from Denver we noticed
a gentleman walk up to the
drinking fountain at the head of
the Tramway elevator (O, stoop
over and attempt to draw a nice,
long cooling draught of pure ar
tesian water. He suddenly
Strengthened up, looked around
like a boy who had been caught
with an April fool joke, muttered
something that sounded like,
----? x-y-z. and then walked
on up the street. The water had
been turned off for several days.
There are two young ladies at
tending the High school that
have been enjoying hugely a
rather peculiar joke they have
often played on the teachers of
two certain rooms, so we are
told. Now these dainty Misses
happen to be sisters and look SO
much alike that when they dress
exactly the same it is a very hard
matter to distinguish one from
the other. One is in one grade
higher than the other and every
now and then the one in the
lower grade will prepare the les
sons Of the other and take her
place while the other will, for a
day, drop back into the lower
grade. So far the teachers have
not discovered the duplicity the
young ladies have been practic-
ing and the pupils who are ''in
on the joke" have been having
many a quiet laugh over the
change.

A drainage pipe was put in the
gutter in front of Burton &

beneficial.
