broad shoulders. fine forehead, superb
face. dark bushy hair and small hands
and feet. The most marked feature
about him was his eyes, which were
small, and, although such eyes are not
usually attractive. his were black.
sparkling and absolutely beautiful
He was not gamester at anything
and could play only indifferently at
checkers. In 1862 he explained to me
that ne had never visited theater be-
cause in his youth he lacked the OPP
portunity and always afterward would
rather study and work or go to bed
than spend his time at a playhouse.
He looked on all kinds of gambling as
wrong. never knew one card or one
domino from another and was never at
a horse race. He had been to a few
circuses and minstrel shows and liked
them.-Recoliection Of His Secretary,
Major Truman, in Century.

ADVERTISE -MENT.
THOMAS v. DUNCAN
A Believer in Square Dealing
Candidate for
Commissioner Of Public Property

The name of Thos. w. Duncan has
been mentioned in connection with
the commission form of government
longer and perhaps oftener than any
other candidate in the field.
When the agitation for this new
plan of city government began, he
was one of the first workers in the
cause and gave literally or his time,
energy and money TO further IT.
He was urged to become a candi-
date by large number of represent
ative people. not only in South Den
yer but all over the city. Having al
ways been identified with leading re-
form movements. not only In politics,
but in business. his friends felt that
he was abundantly equipped to carry
the banner of business and efficiency
in public life. Having made sue
cess of his own business, they felt he
could make success of the city's
business.
He has therefore become a candi-
date for commissioner OF public prop
erty, and is well qualified for the du-
ties of the position.
Duncan has lived in South Denver
for twelve years and in that time has
built up one of the largest individual
coal concerns In the entire city. This
has been accomplished by fair deal
ing and honest treatment to all. He
is large taxpayer in the city and
therefore has the personal interest In
public affairs that will make him ear
nest in his aim to serve the city we'll.
Mr.. Duncan believes In fair dealing.
regardless Of race OF creed. He can
be approached at any time, always
has a pleasant word and is friend
to the common people. Help him win.
