THE CANON CITY ORCHARDS
COMPANY F0RMEI IN DENVER

Mr.. Frank McGillicuddy and Charles
Deyine and Claude Hensch have form.
ed in Denver The Canon City Or.
chards Company and have offices at
1911 Glenarm street.
The purpose of the company is to
sell Canon City apples direct from the
orchard to the table. Mr.. McGilh-
cuddy got the idea while in Denver
after he had discovered that not a
commission man or dealer in the CAPT
tol handled Canon City apples in any
quantity.
He said it was surprising how little
the people OF Denver knew about
Canon City apples and how glad they
were to get good apples such as are
grown in this vicinity. Mr.. McGnli-
cuddy sold sorty boxes OF apples to
consumers in less than half n day and
while selling them cheaper than the
dealer gets he was. however, en-.
abled to give the grower here 100
for choice and s1-25 for fancies and
yet made good substantial profit for
his company.
Mr.. McGilliouddy is now In town
and is loading car today for ship
ment TO Denver.

FoNDNESS CARRIED TOO FAR
Devotion Of Fashionable Women to
Pet Dogs Becoming Absurd
Christening, Latest Fad.

How far will eccentricity go? PEG.
pie are actually trying now to have a
ceremony Of baptism for their dogs.
II sounds like Joke, but the invita-
lions sent out lately by a fashionable
Paris woman were not intended in
that sense. The card bore the follow
ing words:
Madame and M. x have pleas
ure in inviting Madame Z to a
musical evening and dance, which will
take place on Saturday, June 6, 1914,
from o'clock, on the occasion of the
christening of their Scotch collie
Thanus."
Needless to say, the chosen guests
accepted with pleasure. No commen-
tary is required. 1t is quite true that
dogs are becoming more and more i'm
portant in the scheme of fashionable
life, and they have really an enviable
fate. It is only necessary to take a.
glance at any of the special shops set
aside for articles devoted to these ia
vored animals. Their kennels contain
dining room and bedroom Each dog
has it's own brush and comb, and it's
bath of adequate size.
One lady goes even further than this
in her love for her pet She has had
a special automobile made for Fido,
and it was in this vehicle that it ar
rived at the Tuileries on the occasion
of the last dog show
All this is doubtless an exaggera-
ton, and many of us will be of the
same opinion as poor, ragged child
looking through the ratings, who
wished he had share in the good
things showered on the fortunate dog
gies and casting wistful and aston
ished eyes at the quadrupeds arriving
in their special automobiles.

Sport shirts for tennis and golf wear
during autumn weeks are exceedingly
mannish in cut. In fact, they have
even masculine shirt-tails, to be
tucked out of sight, of course, beneath
the shirt-band. and the sleeves are
finished with link cuffs which may be
rolled back on the arm during the
game. These shirts are beautifully
tailored and finished and are of white

WAGNER'S FoNDNEss FOR PET
Great Musicians Devotion to His Dog
Said to Have Been Remarkable
in Its Intensity.

Richard Wagner's fondness for his
faithful dog Pops is we'll known. At
the time when almost all the musical
world had turned against him he
would sometimes, in his walks with
the dog, declaim aloud against his
foes. Then the dog would rush back
ward and forward, barking and snap
ping. as If helping his master to de-
feat his enemies. When Wagner re-
turned home from an excursion to
some other city Pops would always
receive present as well as the other
members of the family. "Peps re-
ceived them joyfully," he writes to a
friend after one of these excursions.
When the time came for the little life
to be ended Wagner scarcely left the
dying dogs side. He even put off two
days an important jd1rney because of
Pops illness and death. He writes
afterward to his friend Praeger: HE
died in my arms on the night of the
ninth, passing away without sound,
quietly and peacefully. On the NOR
row we buried him in the garden be-

New coaI-cuttIna Machine.

Revolutionary changes in coal min
ing methods are promised upon the
general introduction of coal mining
machine developed by H. A. Kuhn, a
Pittsburgh mining and mechanical en-
gineer.
The device, constructed OF struc-
tural steel, can attack the coal seam
in any position, moving up or deWn
or in any direction in which the sean
leads. It takes out more than ninet'
per cent of the coal in the ground,
whereas the best practice OF today
seldom RECEIVERS more than ~ per
cent of the coal.
It is stated that the machine mas
demonstrated that it can cut the cost
Of mining by half. 1t is said that
ten of them can produce over one
thousand tons of coal a day. Only
two men are needed to guide the
mechanism of each machine. which
takes the coal from the seam. cuts It,
nuts it on a conveyer and loads it in
a nit car without human hand touch
ing it.
Electricity or compressed air can De
used and SO little power is required
that the cost thereof is less than one
cent a ton for each ton of coal mined.
