George Fitch Tells

Humorist Declares Colorados
Real Estate Indulges In
Some Fantastic Stunts

Speaking of this state George Fitch,
author OF AT Good Old Siwash," in-
dulRes In the following:
Colorado Is the roof garden Of the
United States. 1t Is located mile
above the sea on the shoulders Of the
Rocky mountains and Is nearly three
miles high in large number Of spots.
Colorado has 10000 square, oblong
and pryamidal and parallelopiped
miles. Many OF its miles contain as
many as IA sides and some of them
have upwards Of 5000 acres-a thou
sand on each side. Half OF Colorado
is SO badly broken out with mountain
peaks that it looks like a Mastodonic
picket fence to the reckless aviator
travelling over 1t. Colorado trains
travel farther going a mile than
small boy does in coming home from
school, and there arc whole counties
where II the daring resident lets 60
the state long enough to moisten his
hands, he will land. total stranger,
In another voting precinct couple Of
miles below.
Colorado has the grandest collection
OF mountains in the United States or
almost anywhere else. Even the
humblest citizen has scenery three
times day with his meals and all the
fresh aud sanitary air that he can
breathe. The mountains are stuffed
with precious metals and as COlorad-
oans are digging s75, 900, 900 year out
Of their interiors, the tourists are
clamoring over their exterior with
almost equally profitable results to
the state. Colorado has more mines
than any other state and also more
prospect holes masq as mines.
Buying mining stock IL the greatest
Colorado dissipation, and selliog ~
the greatest Colorado vice.
For many years Colorado was only
good to climb over and fall OF Of and
pry into with pick. Nowadays,
however, It contains 500, 900 permanent
citizens, half OF whom are farmers.
BY judiciously soaking a Colorado
desert in water, it can be made to pro-
duce enormous crops OF apples. pota.
toes, sugar bects and alfalfa, while
Colorado can taloupes are gastronomi-
cal feature-though Oklahoma claims
that Colorado stole the Arkansas river

gion and Is suing the state to get IT..
The greatest crop 10 Colorado is the
tourist, who ripens In June and is
found over the state 10 vast numbers,
shedding $40 bills with the utmost
freedom. Colorado is also a natural
sanatOrium and its mountain air II
breathed persistently will revamp,
half sole and entirely renovate worn
out lungs.
Colorado was admitted to the Union
In 1876 and Is progressive state, in
which the women vote, but not to ex-
cess like the men. Pixies Peak, IA, 100

ident, presiding. The services were
purely a Flower Service, and as
flowers are the emblematical tokens
of friendship, kindness. trust, happi-
ness and love, one, could not help but
whisper deep down in the Utmost
soul little prayer of God bless the
women of the w. c. T: u" The
program was carried out as printed
with but slight exceptions. The
scripture lesson was well adapted
for the occasion, the solos and other
music we'll rendered and deserves
highest praise. But the most beau
tiful and mind Strengthening portion
of the service was the sermon ad-
dress of Sweet Mother in Isreal'
who is an officer of the National
w. G. T. U. Her text was: BE Of
good cheer; l have over come the
world" John 1888. Her appeal
to mothers boys was full of pathos
and love, and the spirit Of devotion
to right thinking and her labor of
love for humanity shown in her
mother face. Rev. Benson thanked
the ladies of the w. G. T. U. in be-
half of the inmates for their visit,
and as we passed out of the chapel to
our cell homes each one was pre-
sented with a beautiful boquet of
flowers, card with white bow of
ribbon which is the emblem of the
White Rlbboners everywhere, and
the one received had this message
printed thereon: Rest in the Lord,
and wait patiently for him. Com
nit thy way unto the Lord; trust
also in him; and he shall bring it to
pass" Psalms 81: rs. And last
but not least, "A printed message
from friend, to the locked in,' by
Mrs. Mary F. Lowell 215 Summit
Ave-, Jenkintown, Pa. The mes
sage contains thoughts of elevation
and is pen picture OF life's journey.
God bless the w. G. T. U. and
may their noble work for the re-
demptlon of the race from under the
rum curse go on and on until not
only the locked IN will not indulge
in the habits Of intoxicant liquors,
but that all humanity will be intox-
icated in the love of sobriety.

The various stations are known
as first SACK second SACK third
sack and home plate To decide
whether the runner reaches the sta
ton before the ball there is an Of
hclal known as umpire who passes
on all other disputed questions as
they arise. Decisions are frequent
ly very close, and partisan spirit
runs high among the spectators.
There are cheers when the umpire
cries saved!' There are loud cries
OF protest when the umpire declares
ball fouled or out of bounds.
Clever plays are always applauded,
and after PECULIARLY difficult catch
the stands ring with cries of Well
fielded; well caught, indeedp"
How vivid, yet how exact, is that
description! As one reads those
marvellous lines of the Hon. Chilling
ly Butler-Stout he can almost hear
the umpire calling out Saved" as
the runner reaches the first, second
or third station as the case may
be, and the enthusiastic cry of well
caught, indeed!' from the wild eyed
excited mob of fans on the bleach
ers as the fielder manages to engulf
an unusually difficult fly.
There has been in the past some
criticism of British books on Amer
lea. Dickens and Kipling, as well
as divers other notables, have been
charged with viewing this country
with eyes jaundiced by British
prejudice. But in the case of the
Hon. Chillingly Butler-Stout such
criticism is silent. His genial and
instructive criticism leaves room for
nothing save admiration.
