RETIREMENT OF CAPTAIN JOHN
SON FROM CITY FIRE COMPANY
AFTER NEARLY TWENTY-FIVE
YEARS SERVICE.

Our veteran Captain, Silas H. John
son, of fire company No. has applied
for retirement from his duties, and
his application is approved by Chief
Healy. Born in Helena, Ark, he has
resided in Denver for thirty-five
years, twenty-four years and nine
months of which he devoted to the
city's service. He was always at his
post of duty, being in many instances
at the risk of his life for the safety
of others.
Chief Healy, the head Of the fire
department, in offering a compliment
to Captain Johnson, said: HE has
been one of the most efficient men
in the department and has risked his
life hundreds of times when called
to suppress fires" Having been ac-
quainted with the Captain for more
than twenty-five years, we have found
him genial companion, also large
hearted and popularly respected citi-
zen of the community, and his re-
tirement, while regretted by his col
leagues, stands out as well-merited
and deserving result from a life of
service.
The Colorado Statesman hopes
many more years may be added to the
Captains existence and that he may
enjoy the rest of his days peacefully.
Captain Johnson is the father Of
Mrs. Harry Cowell Of this city.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year is our wish to the Captain.

Woman's Curiosity.

The worst OF women is that they
are always wanting to see what will
happen if they do certain things. They
make man angry just to see what he
looks like when he is angry; and they
make men miserable just to see what
he looks like when he is miserable;
and they never realize how much gra-
tuitous suffering all this entails upon
the man.-From Concerning Isabel
Carnaby," by Mrs. Fowler.
