The heOptinnistic
Philosopher

of Nature has made a picture so per-
feet that it could never be reproduced
by the camera or painters brush. Up
Bear Creek canon, around Genesee
mountain and over the high road to
Lookout mountain it was an ever
changing panorama of natural beauty
with foliage of every shade of color
ing. Great patches of quaking aspen
on the distant mountain sides resem-
bled fields of gold while nearby were
the fiery red and purple naples inter
mingling with evergreens. 1t was
poetic dream.
THE October number of Outdoor
Life, that sterling sportsman's
magazine of the West, comes to
US in new, larger and improved form.
J. A. Mcclure, the editor and man
ager, has adopted the fashion of the
more progressive magazines by in
better opportunity for illustrations and
display of reading matter. Outdoor
Life is a Denver product and has
grown to be the leading magazine of
fish and game sports in America, be-
ing an accepted authority on these
matters, with corps of writers who
know how to tell of events and scenes
in a most enhancing way. There are
number of cracker jack articles in
the October number, among the best
being "Thru the Heart of the Bitter
Roots" by Ralph Edmunds; after
Oregon Blacktail Bucks" by Gus
Peret; Bears and Their Habits" by
A. C. Powell, and Northwestern Que
bee, the Moose Country" by S. E.
Sangster. This magazine is an ency-
clopedia of information for the game
hunter and the fisherman.

EATHER o'RYAN will celebrate the
II twenty-fifth anniversary of his
pastorate at st. Leo's church with
a solemn high mass tomorrow morn
ing. Father Organ is much more
than a priest-he is a great broad
minded citizen and a participant in
every constructive civic undertaking.
Everybody likes Father Organ, for
he is not tied to narrow ecclesiastical
rules, but believes in and breaches the
brotherhood of man. He is one of
Denver's landmarks, and perhaps is on
speaking terms with more citizens of
high and low social status than any
other man in Denver. Father William
Organ, LID, holds the longest rec
ord for service in a single parish of
any Colorado priest. When he took
charge of st. Leo's in 1892, there was
an Indebtedness of $4,000 on the par
ish, but for some years past there has
not been one cent of debt. When Fa-
ther Organ assumed charge, Den
yer was going thru one of the most
terrible business ordeals in the his
tory of the city The times were ex-
ceedingly hard. 81 saw millionaires,
like Tabor, reduced from affluence
within a, week to a stage where they
could not buy a shirt. hardly got
enough to eat myself, and lived in a
little room in back of the church."
said the priest.
NHIEF ARMSTRONG sat in his
lonely office at police headquarters
in the city hall Wednesday night
and mediated. There was not single
prisoner in the city Jail. Never. be-
fore had the cells and corridors been
without occupants. 1t was, indeed,
a novel situation, and the chief called
in the night desk sergeant to have
company and make a noise. The place
was SO quiet that it got on Hams"
nerves. prohibition has either
worked havoc in Denver or else the
police department has become seri--
ously impaired" solemnly soliloquized
the chief. AS matter of fact crime
and depredations have decreased to
such an extent since the "dry" spell
began in Denver nearly two years ago
that police officers are now being used
to guide tourists about the city.
