NEW SUIT AGAINST BOLLES

Colorado Springs, July 2e.-Another
complaint in the long-drawn out legal
fight between Richard Bolles and Will
liam O'Brien of this city has been
filed in the district court, in which
'Brien charges Bolles with fraud.
OBrien fled writ of attachment
on the Hotel Glenwood at Glenwood
Springs, owned by Bolles, at 10 O'Clock
the morning of July and at $3.50
clock the same morning Bolles had
fled deed transferring the property
to his brother and sister for a consid-
Grafton of 81.
1t is claimed by o'Brien that tha
deed was given solely to defraud him.
He has attached all the Colorado prop
erty of Bolles he can find in his suit
for $4,000 against Bolles and the
Florida Fruit Lands company for legal
services alleged to have been rendered
defendants.
The supreme court of Florida recent
ly decided in favor of Bolles in
O'Brien's suit against him for one
quarter interest in the Fruit Lands
company, and the present suit in the
local district court is based on services,
and not on any partnership agreement.
More than $1,OOO,OOO individends and
lands was involved in the partnership
suit which Bolles won.

Steamboat Memories.

London Opinion, commenting on
the recent celebration of the centen
airy of the steamboat, remarks that
it is interesting to note that the Brit
ish admiralty of that period rejected
the invention with the declaration
that "a paddle wheel steamboat could
be of no use in navigation" and that
a DR.. Lardner, a pundit of that day,
who proved that no steam vessel
could ever cross the Atlantic, lived
long enough to bolt to America in a
steamer along with another mans
wife!"

and sanitarium In connection with Min
eral Wells Park and in bringing addi-
tionay industries to the city. We
find that majority of the women of
city have plenty of time to take part
in civic affairs and that all they need
is an invitation to participate. We
started the organization with about so
women a week ago, and now we have
membership of 400, and it is still
growing.
Nor is the membership confined to
the society set and members of the
clubs. 1t takes in the women who are
the most prominent in church work. 1t
includes the girls in the stores and
Offices, the telephone girls, numerous
stenographers, newspaper women,
women physicians and will eventually
include through auxiliaries the wives
of the farmers throughout the county.
In fact, the farmers wives are already
organizing district auxiliaries to the
County Farmers Institute, and the
Women's Chamber of Commerce will
work in connection with these through
system of committees.
There are to be many committees,
for in this manner the work is to be
divided. Mrs. Finch, the president, is
now working on her list of standing
committees and expects to announce
them in the near future. Prominent
among them will be three consulting
committees-on each for the Guthrie
Chamber Of Commerce (the mems or
ganization), the women's federation Of
clubs, and the auxiliaries 20 the Ccun-
ty Farmers Institute. Practically all
the work looking toward the city beau
tiful is to be done through the sepa-
rate women's club organizations, of
which there are ten in Guthrie.

ITCHING, BURNING ECZEMA

BIT s. Wolfe ST., Baltimore, Md
My trouble was caused by a severe
sprained ankle; the bruised blood not
having been drawn off caused a skin
affection which the doctors pro-
nounced eczema. 1t first started with
an itching and burning, with very dry
skin. Constant scratching, especially
during the night finally broke the
skin, and during the day the watery
fluid that came from it would dry and
peel off like fish scales. My stocking
would stick to my ankle as If it were
glued. I also had it on my fingers.
IT was treated without getting any
benefit. I began using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment as directed and then ap
piled the Cuticura Ointment and bound
the ankle with soft bandage, after
bathing 1t with Cuticura Soap. They
cured me in about two months

Significant Symbols That Always Have
Had Deep Purpose and
Meaning

When man is not telling the truth
he is apt to clench his hands, as few
men can lie with their hands open.
A man who holds his thumb tightly
within his hand has weak will power.
Strong willed persons hold their
thumbs outside when shutting their
hands.
Shaking hands when greeting was
originally an evidence that each per-
son was unarmed.
Among the savage tribes when a
man holds up his hands it is sign of
peace, an evidence that he is unarmed
or does not intend to use weapons.
An outlaw says, Hold UP your hands!"
meaning thereby to make victim pow
erless to resist attack
When a man kisses the hands of a
woman he expresses his submission.
This is also the idea when kissing the
hands of kings. BY this act their
superiority is acknowledged.
When an oath is taken it is done by

HIS MIND UP IN THE CLOUDS
Professor imagined Appeal Was From
Fido, and the Situation Became
Embarrassing.

A great lover of animals, Professor
Dryasdust was much given to having
his pet dog sitting beside him at meal
times eating tidbits from his own lit
tie plate.
The other evening he was at dinner
party, and his partner was very
great lady, who was proud of her
title.
But the professor paid absolutely no
attention to her. His mind had
switched off on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the
problem.
The duchess did not approve of this,
and presently, to attract his attention,
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab
bing half-picked chicken bone from
his plate, he thrust it under her
startled nose.
Don't bother just now, Fido!" he
said CURLY. Here, take this and go
and eat it on the mat, like good dog
gie!"
