The Broadway crew is now putting

=, most enjoyable time.
John Decker, formerly of Denver but
now a resident OF the flourishing town
of Milliken, was present; and John GER
tainly looked fine and says he likes
Milliken very much. Johns exhibition
an the drum was sure great and his

was the best ever seen. If John will
entertain the people of Milliken as
he entertained the bar boys here he is
liable to become mayor of Milliken-

Of refreshments and cigars.
Clint Houston, editor of the United
Labor Bulletin. was present and made
L very able address and told some of
his experiences with the bar boys in
various cities throughout the country.

with the boys.
Dan Grenier did not sing "Tipperary,"
bat instead rendered the Lower Five;
tud he sang so low that there was not
even five heard him.
Michael Flaherty gave an exhibition
Of man balancing a chair, and Mike
balanced it well. as he never got up.
Wilhelm Flaherty gave an imitation
OF disappearing man. VIII disap-
peared at $3.50 and was not seen the

BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.

The committee from the Denver Build
ing Trades Council, composed of Charles
Nj. Moore, Peter Johns and c. J. Com
mon. reported the first contributions
Tuesday during the noon day luncheon at
the Albany in the campaign to raise
SlO0,OOO by the Federated Charities for
upkeep of 81 charitable institutions of
this city. On the nights of December
81, 22 and 23 great vaudeville show
will be put on at the Auditorium, the
entire proceeds to go to help swell this
fund.
At the meeting of Denver building
Trades Council last Friday night reso-
lutions were adopted opposing the
movement of few taxpayers TO cut
wages of city employees and reduce the
working force. A committee consisting
of Peter Johns, Thomas james and VIII
liam Camerer was appointed to present
the resolutions to the city commission
ers which was done Wednesday. They
are as follows:
Whereas, An effort is being made by
a few wealthy citizens of Denver, styl'
ing themselves the Taxpayers League
to induce the city commissioners IN
making up the 1915 budget to discharge
a large number of city employee and
reduce the pay of those retained; and,
Whereas. Under the existing indus
trial depression, and with hundreds oil
men who have dependent families now
out of employment, this parsimonious
policy would only result in increased
depression and suffering among our
working citizenship; and,
Whereas, 1t is our belief that the best
interests of this city would be- con-
served by retaining present employees
without any cut in their already meager
pay, and that public improvements
should be inaugurated by using the

The Guarantee

William J. Burns, the famous de. tectiye, was talking in New York about the recent dropping of his name from the honorary list of Police chiefs
 Tt is easy MT Burns said "to read the significance of that action Its significance is evil It relates to certain graft exposures on my part Yes, it's significance is as evil as the clothier's guarantee.
 "A young fellow went to a clothier to buy a pair of flannel pants.
 The last pair l got here shrunk.' he said. I was caught in the rain in them, and they shrunk something ter rible. Do you guarantee that these won't shrinkT
 Young feller,' said the dealer I guarantee them up to the hilt. Why. every fire hose in New York but three has squirted on them pants"

DISAPPEARED Coffee Ails Vanish Before Postum.

It seems almost too good to be true, the way headache, nervousness. insomnia, and many other obscure troubles vanish when coffee is dis missed and Postum used as the regu- lar table beverage
 The reason is clear Coffee con- tains poisonous drug-caffeine-- which causes the trouble, but Postum contains only the food elements in choice hard wheat with little mo- lasses
 A Phila man grew enthusiastic and wrote as follows:
 Until IS months ago I used coffee regularly every day and suffered from headache, bitter taste in my mouth, and Indigestion; was gloomy and irri- table, had variable or absent appetite, loss of flesh, depressed in spirits, etc.
 I attribute these things to coffee, because since l quit it and have drank Postum l feel better than l had for 20 years, am less susceptible to cold, have gained 20 lbs. and the symptoms have disappeared-vanished before Postum."
 Name given by Postum Go, Battle Greek, Mich. Read The Road to Melville" In pkgs.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Regular Postum-must be well boiled 15c and 25c packages.
 Instant Postum-is a soluble DOW. der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar. makes delicious bever- age instantly. BOG and soc tins.
 The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

 Since his sixtieth birthday. when he began his sourmilk regime, Metchni- koff has not aged On the contrary, he has become rejuyenated
 TO the committee that has in charge the splendid honors of his birthday celebration, Metchnikoff gave some advice on the benefits of frugal eating-the benefits of taking no alco- hol, very little meat, and an abundance of well cooked green vegetables. And he ended his lecture with this crystal of wisdom
 Good eating makes more pessi- mists than bad luck.

Found in A Glacier

Sir Martin Conway has recently told this story of finding a lost ax in the Alps: Zurbiggen. one of the cele- brated mountain climbers of the world, in scaling a peak of Les An glaises. near Chamounix, accidentally let his ax fall near the summit of the peak It fell some thousands of feet. In the normal course of things 1t was buried in snow and swallowed up in the glacier being covered deeper and deeper each year. and at the same time being carried slowly downward as the ice flowed on. Seven or eight years afterward Hon. c. c. Bruce and Harkbir. a Sepoy chief. in descending a peak of the Alps just as night was falling and great crevasse barred the way being unable to find the bridge over 1t, cut path down to t bottom, where Harkbir stepped on an ax which had NJ z. Zurbiggen's ini. tials on the handle. There could be n, mistake as to the identity of the ak. as Harkbir had seen 1t and used 1t before

He Knew That Money TaJks-

He couldn't talk English though per haps he understood a little, but he knew a thing or two. He was riding on a huckster's wagon past a public school. His partner had gone into s house to sell some truck, and he was learning the business His clothes were ragged and shabby. much like those of the stage tramp The chil. dren started to jeer at him, making remarks about his clothes He seemed to understand that they were making fun of his clothes, so he reached in his pocket and pulled out the bromidic roll of bills that would choke a COW" These bills he waved at the children, for apparently he believed that money would insure respect. even if hs did have old clothes.

WOULD MAKE A POLITICIAN
Little WlIe's Capacity for Sticking to One Idea SingularIy Like Way
 of Rabd Partisan.

The late Adlai E. Stevenson" said Republican leader of Bloomington, hadn't, after all much use for poli- tics. He once explained to me H ny this was.
 He said that party politicians be- lieved their side to be always right, and the other side to be always wrong. Whatever the other side advocated, 1t was hossible and internal; whatever their own side advocated was holy.
 He said the partisan couldn't un- derstand that you might arrive at the the right thing by more ways than one-and thus the partisan was like the urchin whose teacher said:
 Willie, what does six plus four make?"
 Eleven
 No Try again
 "'Twelve'
 No.
 Thirteen
 :" No. no, no. You're just guessing But why couldn't you have guessed that six plus four makes ten?"
 Because it don't make ten sait Willie. Five and five makes ten remember that"
