Dividing Up.


Two little darkies went wal
nutting one day and after filling
their pockets and everything else
about them that would hold nuts
they started for home. Passing
a cemctry one of them suggested
that they go inside and divide
the walnuts equally bet ween
them. This was agreed and the
lads scaled the wall. In the effort
they noticed that two. nuts drop.
ped out of their pockets on the
outside Of the wall.
Piling the nuts in heap inside |
the wall they then proceeded to
divide them. While thus engag-
ed negro came along the road |
on the outside and hearing voices
IN the cemetry stopped to listen
"Ah'll take this one"
"Ah'l) take that one"
"Ah'll take this one"
Anil take that one.".
''Ah'll take this one"
"Ah'll take that one"
The darkey's eyes began to
bulge as he listened. "Foh de
lands sakes," he suddenly ex-
"de debil and de Lawd's
up de folks"
Taking to his heels, he fed down
the road. About a mile away
white man rushed out and shout
ed, Whats the matter? What
are you running that way for?"
"Oh, don't stop me. boss, don't
stop me! | must get away frum
heah," walled the frightened ne
gro. "De debil's and de Lawd's
back in de GENTRY up dar dividin'
up de folks"
You'll have togo back with
me, said the white man, and
the negro by the collar he
ran him back to the cemetery.
The voices could still be heard:
"Ah'll talk this one,"
"Ah'll TAX that one"
There was short silence. Then
one voice said:'
Now we'll get the two outside
the fence and we'll be done.
1t is said that white man beat
the negro running.

DENVER LETTER

relative to road dragging which is de-
signed to encourage this work among
the farmers of the state in order that
each may aid in keeping the road in
front of his farm In good shape.
The increasing good road building
in this state is bringing to the at
tention OF those interested In road
building the need for some plan in
Colorado which will insure the proper
maintenance Of the highways. This
is a matter which has been frequently
discussed at good roads conventions.
and also by the executive committee
OF the Colorado Good Roads Associa-
ton. and it is likely that some definite
plan will soon be agreed upon between
the highway commission and the good
roads workers OF the state whereby
this question OF road care and main
tenance will be given more attention
In each county.
Announcement was also made yes
terday OF a meeting Of the executive
committee OF the Colorado Good Roads
Association which will be held at
Colorado Springs. August &c. at which
time questions OF importance will be
taken up with members OF the Ma
tional Highways Association. The
members OF the executive committee
are: L. E. Curtis. Colorado Springs;
C. r. McI-ain. Canon City; W. l. An
derson. Pueblo; W. s. whinnery. Lake

IF IT IS WORTH ADVERTISING

Often a lady is surprised that a

the case. but often women do not.
Here is the situation: A newspaper
has but one thing to sell that amounts
to anything-that's advertising. Ad-
vertising is of benefit to somebody or
there is no use In having 1t put in.
II Is of benent, financial benefit, 10
anybody 1t should be paid for. II it

an item is news or advertising by the

Denver, Aug. 22.-with the expen-
diture OF large sums Of money In vari-
GUS parts of the state in the building
Of good roads, the question OF the
maintenance OF these roads becomes
one of much importance. 1t is rec
ognized fact that the initial cost OF
good road is small as compared
with the monies which are usually
spent In the upkeep of the highway.
This is due, says a bulletin just issued
by the Colorado Good Roads Associa-
ton. to the lack OF care given to the
maintenance of the highways.
In writing to Leonard E. Curtis.

Another Newspaper Experience

In Colorado today is completely allied
by existing newspapers As 1t is many
OF them are not making any money
and others are just existing. One rea-
son for this is that Colorado newspa-
pers are ambitious. They want to
give a newspaper that Is Just as good
as eastern papers IN cities twice the
size. The result is they put their
profits back into the business and
make exceptionally good papers for
cities Of their class.
The newspapers OF Colorado Springs.
OF Pueblo. OF Trinidad. of Grand juno
tion. of Fl. Collins. OF Canon City.
and Greeley are as good papers as ars
found in any cities twice the size of
these in the east. But they do not
make large profits. and the suspension
OF the third paper in Pueblo has dem
onstrated that the field in that city as
elsewhere is completely Allied by two
papers.
