HEALTH SEEKERS BUREAU.

Denver.-A Health Seekers Bureau.
equipped to give advice and informa-
ton to new.coming health.seekers to
Colorado has been established here by
the Denver Visiting Nurse Associa-
ton. The aim Of the Bureau is to
post health-seekers upon the necessity
Of taking proper hygienic care of them
selves. and so not depending futilely
upon the sole benefits of the Colorado
climate for their recovery.
Accordingly, the bureau seeks to get
In touch with health-seckers not only
upon their arrival at Denver. but even
before they make the journey. so as
to give prospective newcomers the In.
dispensable advantage OF knowing
how to care for themselves, and also
to assist them In finding sanitary and
hygienic quarters.
The work of the bureau Is under
the supervision OF A. II. Ortmeyer,
who himself came to Denver fifteen
months ago from Chicago In the ad-
vance stages of tuberculosis. Since
his recovery he has devoted himself
actively to the cause Of strangers hero
In guest OF health. Through tho
Health.Seekers Bureau he Is able to
do In more consistent and organized
way what heretofore he could do in
only an individual and hap.hazard
way.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS TO DENVER
Daylight Run Made by Autos In Four
teen Hours.

Denver-The practicablity of a
daylight run by automobile from
Steamboat Springs to Denver has been
demonstrated. A party of residents
from Steamboat Springs, Craig, Hay
den and other points in northwestern
Colorado accomplished the trip in
fourteen hours. Leaving Steamboat
Springs at a. m, the first Of the
party arrived in Denver at p. m.
the same day.
The route followed the new forest
service road over Rabbit Ear pass for
a distance Of twelve miles, then over
the old road along Park range, strik-
ing the Midland Trail at Kremmling.
The trip is said to have been made
primarily for the purpose of trying
out the new link in the Rabbit Ear
read across the continental divide
within the Routt national forest. This
portion Of the road was constructed
by the forest service in cooperation
with the state and Routt county.
According to forestry officials of
Denver, the road engineer OF the for
est service now has a party on the
ground making final survey Of the
remaining portion of the highway
leading through the forest. which is
to be built in cooperation with Grand
and Jackson counties. 1t is expected
that the entire road will be completed
in another year.

THE BEASTS KNOW.

F. G. Bostock, the celebrated trainer
of wild animals, says, 'In some curl
Gus, incomprehensible way, wild ami
mails know instinctively whether men
are addicted to bad habits. 1t is one
of the many problems that are beyond
human understanding. For those who
are in the least inclined to drink, or
live a loose life, the wild animal has
neither fear nor respect. He despises
them with all the contempt of his ma
ture and recognizes neither their au-
thority nor their superiority. If man
has begun to take ''just little" or has
deviated somewhat from the straight
road, the animals will discover it long
before his fellow-men. Absolute per-
sonal integrity seems to be the first
requisite for the man who would get
the confidence and control of animals.
The quality in the trainer which DOM
mates the animal nature within is pre-
cisely the quality which dominates
the animal he trains. If he yields to
the brute within him, no matter how
little, his perfect poise and self-mas-
terry are gone, and the keen instinct
of the wild beast recognizes this in
stantly. Beasts seem to understand
mans degradation to their level, and
his life is in danger every moment he
is in their cage"

HOW WASHINGTON MET
TREACHERY.

Among the many anecdotes told of
Washington is one related in the
Child Apostle of how he escaped cap
ture at the hands of a treacherous
host, whom he afterwards pardoned
at the earnest pleading of the cul-
prit's family.
The American army was encamped
near West Point, when one day their
commander was invited to visit a
nearby mansion and dine with an old
gentleman at precisely 2 o'clock
Having been accustomed to visit the
family, he had at first trusted this old
man, but whispers got about question.
ing his fidelity to the patriot cause,
which at last Washington resolved to
put to test. The host had been in.
sistent as to the hour for dinner and
intimated that a guard would not be
necessary. This somewhat aroused
Washington's suspicion, so he decided
to arrive at least an hour earlier than
the appointed time. The host sug-
gested a walk on the piazza, and by
his nervousness soon made it evident
to his guest that something was
wrong. Washington brought the con-
versation around to the subject of
traitors, and he wondered at the lack
of principle that would cause native
born Americans to join the enemy for
little glittering gold. His fixed look,
as he made these remarks, made the
traitor quail; but now the sound of
horses hoofs was heard, and up rode
company of dragons in scarlet
coats.
What cavalry are these?" exclaim-
mean?"
"a party of British light horse sent
for my protection" answered his host.
British horse-to protect you
while 1 am your guest-what does
this mean, sir?"
The troops, now dismounting, came
toward the piazza, and the old man,
getting close to his guest, said: Gen.
eral, you are my prisoner!"
81 believe not" said Washington
DuC, SIT, KNOW Cnat you are mine!
Arrest this traitor, oficer!"
Not knowing what to make of this
turn of affairs, the hypocrite looked
from Washington to the troopers, and
then saw that they were American
cavalrymen whom Washington had
disguised in British uniforms, and
who arrived promptly at quarter be
fore two, in order to protect their
General and aid him to test the truth
or falseness of his host.
Being conducted, prisoner, to the
camp, the false friend afterward con-
fessed that he had been bribed to de
liver Washington to squadron of the
enemy at o'clock on the day when
the American commander was his Wis.
itor.

THE MOTHERS STRIKE.

Such dream 1 had! So dreadful!
That I never heard the like;
For I dreamt that on a sudden
The mammas agreed to strike.
1--WE are tired" l heard them mtr-
muir,
Tired of working night and day,
And not always hearing, Thank you!'
Such long hours and such poor
pay!"
So they would not mend the jackets,
Nor the holes in stockings small,
No one ran to kiss the bruises
When poor Tommy caught fall.
No one bound up wounded fingers,
No one glued the broken toys,
No one answered all the questions
Of the eager little boys.
No one tied the little bonnets,
No one brushed the little curls,
No one basted dolly dresses
For the busy little girls.
No one heard their little troubles,
No one held them on her lap,
No one sewed on truant buttons,
No one hunted Johnny's cap.
And there were no bedtime stories,
And no loving hands to tuck
Blankets soft round little sleepers;
For their mothers all had struck.
o, so lonesome and so dreadful
And so queer it all did seem!
Aren't you glad, dear little children,
It was nothing but dream

READING ALOUD.

1t is a great pity that the good old
practice of reading aloud should have
fallen so sadly out of favour as it has
done of late years. For certainly no
pleasanter method of passing long
evening can be found than for one of
the party to read aloud some inter
esting book, while the rest are sewing
or engaged in some other quiet oc-
cupation.
One great advantage of reading
aloud is that only really good litera-
ture can be read aloud; poor or film
sy literature becomes intolerable
when every word is properly empha-
sized and when skipping" is made
impossible.
In the same way taste for poe
try is often aroused in those who
have the opportunity of hearing good
poetry read aloud; they become inter
ested in what they hear, and are
tempted to read further for them
selves.

Tue CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE THREE ANTS.

A little black ant
Found a large grain of wheat
Too heavy to lift or to roll;
So he asked black brother
He happened to meet
To help him down into his hole.
Il have my own work to see after
said he;
Just shift for yourself if you
please
So he crawled of as selfish and cross
as he could,
And laid down to sleep at his
ease.
Just then black brother was passing
the way.
And seeing his neighbor in want
