Let a man choose what condition he

will, and let him accumulate around
him all the goods and qualifications
seemingly calculated to make him
happy in it; if that man is left at any
time without occupation or amusement,
and reflects on what he is, the meager,
languid felicity of his present lot will
not bear him up. He will turn neces-
sariy to gloomy anticipation of the
future; and unless his occupation calls
him out of himself he is inevitably
retched.--Pascal

mans, for instance, the Mediterranean

times it is a poetical and not untruth
full expression denoting the worlds

mystical number signifying completion

Many a fellow with small ability, but

left town that night They haA tried
70 make get away with . car stand-
ing out in front Of the Ems Club, but
did not succeed. Thnk was the last
sesa Of them until Monday Afternoon.
About noon, Monday, . Ford with
two men came thru Pnrlins and stop-
ped ct the store there to buy gasoline.
They said they did not have tie cash
% paid in stamps After they had
gone, Mel Deering, the store keeper,
got to thinking things looked rather
saspicious and that something was
up, so he phoned to Sheriff Hsnlon.
Cndersherifff Dan Lehan located the
men, who were in Gunnison, where
they were buying supplies and pay
ing for them in stamps. In fact, about
this time Ed Collins grew suspicious
and informed Mr.. Lehan. The men
were lodged in jail about three p. m,
and word was sent to Sheriff New
comb of Canon City.
The men gave their names rs John
Weber and Lyle Hollenbeck. Sher-
in Newcomb came in on the noon
train after the men. The officers at
Canon City had tried to get Gunnison
Monday but the lines were down.
The men had stamps Of different de-
nominations from a one-cent stamp
to the fifty-cent ones. When taken
into custody, the men had s3S.s8
with them.
Webber boasted of having stolen
five cars in Colorado Springs, and get
ting away, besides innumerable cars
in Denver. II he did this, he IL
slicker at the game than his actions
showed, for when . stranger peddles
stamps, suspicion is 1t once aroused.
However, he is . kleptomanic al right,
for while in Jail here. he stole some
small articles from an Italian prisoner
there. and Was getting OF with them,
when Sheriff Hanlon heard Of II, and
bod him searched at the train again
and the articles were discovered n

LOST LAKE IN cuNNlsON

f0Oul80.-
Breathing some of tie rumanee Il

unsuccessful effort to and the lake.
But NO wonder say those who have
1t last discovered Il, for the body Of
water Is effectively hidden by osaDe

and the shores are strewn with logs
and dead timber, and other debris %
thickiy that approach to the waters
edge Is exceedingly difficult. In area
the lake covers perhaps fifteen acres
and the water is crystal-clear. "Half-
way creek is its outlet, and il is now
possible to drive within a quarter Of .
mile Of the lake.
And the water is literally alive
with fish. Few small trout are to
be found, the average running from
thirteen to about seventeen inches in
length. These are chiefly Of the
Eastern Brook variety. indicating that
long ago the white man stocked it..
With some difficulty, the visitors who
made the trip to the lake the Fourth
of July constructed y raft and fshed
in the deep waters of the center Of the
lake. There sport was rewarded by q
large catch Of unusually fine trout.
