Frank Poorman an Inventor

The following clipping, taken
from the Denver Post, gives an
account of an invention gotten up
by Frank S. Poorman, who has
been a resident of Saratoga and
the valley the past four years, but
is now temporarily in Denver,
Mr.. Poorman is a bright young
man and is destined to make his
mark in the world and there can
be but little doubt but what his
invention will bring him in a con-
siderable sum of money. The in
vention is a practical one. Who
has not thot of the necessity of
some provision to prevent conta-
gion from a disease-infected tele-
phone transmitter? How I'M
pleasant the idea of talking into a
transmitter which has just been
used by a person affected by tu-
b~urculosis! We have no doubt
but what the invention will be a
great benefit to the public:
Another old-time Denver boy
has rome to the front as an in
ventor. He is Frank S. Poorman
Of 2OlO Clarkson street, who is
placing on public telephone
mouthpieces throughout the city
an invention of his which he
claims protects the user from all
possible contagion.
"The device il a metal casing
covering the mouthpiece and
holding in place "A perforated
chemically-ireated piece of felt.
The inventor says the appli.
ance is of practical utility, that it
improves the telephone service
Offering no resistance to the
transmission of sound. He adds
That there is nothing disagreeable
shout it as the odor given off by
The %antiseptic is more pleasant
Than offensive"

templated fishing trip.

Thousands of 'em" replied the
man.
"Will they bite easily" asked
another friend.
"Will theyP" said the man.
"Why they're absolutely vicious.

LABOR PREACHER

Charles Stelzle, the labor preacher,

I Believe in My Job.
1T may not be a very important
job, but it is MINE. Furthermore,
it is Gods job for me. He has a
purpose in my life with refernce to
His plan for the worlds progress. No
other fellow can take my place. 1t
isn't big place, to be sure, but Cor
years I have been nodded in a pecu-
liar way to fill a peculiar niche in
the worlds work. I could take no
other mans place. He has the same
claim as specialist that make my
self. Yes, I believe in my job. May
be kept true to the task which
lies before me-true to myself and to
God who entrusted me with it.

1T is the NOSE powerful institu-

dark the age, it has always been the
Whitest light in history. I believe

Then Billy dropped the dust, bored

After the luncheon was given to the

knew that she was happy and vaguely
wondered what her mother and Aunt

as she had supposed, and some she had
thought the finest were Clipped and
broken. Still there was quite a large
box of perfect pieces to carry to the
city.
Then Elnora hurried home, dressed
and was waiting when the carriage
reached the gate. She stopped at the
bank with the box, and Sinton went to
do his marketing and little shopping
for his wife.
At the dry goods store Mr.. Brownlee
called to him: "Hello. Sinton! How do
you like the fate Of your lunch box?'
Then he began to laugh.

savage.

heard of a NANCY old lion that
was too weak to travel which a
circus was willing to sell for a
song. Mr.. Lion was also shipped
south and was let loose in front
of the camera, and Mr.. Actor,
dressed like Roosevelt, undertook
to STAY him in true Smithsonian
Institute style.
But evidently the lion was fed
too literally on the way south. He
displayed unexpected ginger and
ambition. The actor fired. The
lion became angry. He took after
the actor.
But the actor. did not take after
Roosevelt. In courage, that is.
He fired. Lion got nearer and
nearer and actor took to a tree.
The moving picture operator
sought safety in flight, but re-
turned and shot the lion dead
from long range. %
The film company finally got
the African hunt pictures but it
had to buy another NANCY lion.
