the life and work OF the late Adolph
Bandetier, by Edward Albes. In the
June number of the Monthly Bulletin
OF the Pan-American union, Washing
ton. y. G. Bandelier, 1t seems, es-
IA blished the fact that "a chieftain
who WAS gilded for a certain cereino-
NAL occasion, once really existed on
the table land Of Bogota. in the prov
fnce of Cundinamarea, in the heart
of New Granada"
On this high plain dwelt the agrIcul-
turai village Indians known as the
/ Muygca, They wove cotton cloth,
mined emeralds, and also salt. These
products were exchanged for the gold
OF other tribes, and by thrift and In
dustry, the precious metal was accufn-
itlated to superf1uity on the table land
OF Bogota- On the plateau were sew
eral lakes which were regarded By
the Muyseas a sholy places. Each
/ Of them was the supposed seat of .
special divinity, to which gold and
erneralds wera offered by throwing
them into the water. Among these
the Lake of Guatavita became famous
! Near the lake lay the village OF Qua
tavita. whose inhabitants. in the year
I 1890, constituted an independent tribe.
A legend was current among them
| that the wife of one or their earlier
chiefs had thrown herself into tha
water TO avoid a punishment, and
had subsequently become the goddess
of the lake When a new chief of
/ Guatavita was chosen an imposing
ceremonial was observed. The male
population marched out In a long
procession TO the lake. In front walk

black robes, adorned with white

them came the mobiles OF the tribe and
the chief priests, bearing the newly
elected chieftain upon a borrow hung

MIL USE TRA|l[RS
WITH MOTOR TRUCKS
ANNOUNCEMENT is OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE TO CoNTRAC-
TORS AND OTHER PEOPLE.

An event of much importance to.
contractors and others whose business
-eQuires the movement of large ton
lages OF material over the streets and
-oads Is the public announcement of
bne maker of high grade motor
rucks, the Peerless Motor Car COM
my. that under favorable conditions
t recommends the use of trailers
With its trucks. This means In many
.ases the doubling of the amount of
material truck can move with prac-
ically no addition to the cost of
operation.
1t will give the motor truck greatly
Extended usefulness and make a heavy
tut in the ton-miIe cost of road trans
lortation In the past numerous con-
ractors have operated trailers with
heir trucks. but they have done It
without the approval of the truck
makers and often in the fact of their
tctive opposition. owing to the fact
hat the makers did not believe the
ruck mechanism could successfully
withstand the additional strain for
Any considerable period. ---
For several years users of Peerless
rucks have operated their trucks
With trailers and secured thereby
great advantages in reduced hauling
II the operation of these trucks for
several years the Peerless Motor Car
company has come to the conclusion
hat the practice results in no injury
% a Peerless truck and Is therefore
eeady to recommend it
In its truck and trailer bulletin, just
ssued, the company says:
peerless trucks carrying their
-ated loads may be used to good ad-
vantage with traiIers. Under suitable
Conditions a four-ton truck will pull
i've tons OF pay load In trailer In ad-
iition to It's own burden. With a
hange of gearing to reduce the nor
nal speed and under specially fav-
orable conditions, Ii is ometimes poo
.ible 10 haul two traiiers carrying five
ons each.
..The use Of trailers Is most success
ful where power-dumping body can
10 employed and the loading can be
done by steam shovel chute or power
oader. In this class of work Peer
ess trucks have hauled their loads at
nosts greatly reduced under that Of
steam tractor and trailer train.

Eineering tests that the dfaw-bar pun

A Little Boys Dream.

Once upon a time there was a little
boy who had a. dream. He thought
he was sitting on a fence so high that
he could see almost the whole world.
He could see the farms and fields for
miles aud miles away.
On one farm there was barn ana
a house. As the little boy looked at
this house he found that he could see
right in at the windows, although h6
was sitting on the high fence. In
this house he saw IA little boy who
would not get up when his mother
called him in the morning.
Jimmie Jimmie" called the moths
err; but the little boy shut his eyes
tighter than ever.
Il never did that said the little
boy on the fence. Then he said:
How queer that other little boys
name should be Jimmie, just like
mine"
Slowly the little boy awoke. His
mother was standing beside his bed,
calling Jimmie, Jimmie"
II was dreaming" said he, and I
saw another little boy just as Lazy
as me"
Sometimes II Is good for us te
see now we seem to other people"
said his mother. Exchange.

Gets $1,000 DAMAGES

A jury in the district court this Week
awarded damages in the sum of $1,000
to j. w. Baillee, father of Haro'd i
who was killed about year ago while
working for the Central Colorado
Power company near Shoshone. Attor-
ney W. v. Hodges of Denver repre-
sented the company while Attorneys
Noonan and Ethel of this city repre-
sented the complainant.
According to the contention of the
company, Baillee was not obeying ,n-
struetions when he climbed the pole
and began working with the wires, but
the jury evidently believed the parents
of the young man were entitled to some
recompense for the loss Of their son
and awarded the $1,000 after being out
several hours Wednesday night.
