The trouble with most people
around here, we find, they are too
impatient. They want prosperity
but won’t wait until it comes.
If there is anyone around here
figuring on dying there is a fellow
over in Loveland who wants to
trade a monument for a good
Bingle buggy or road wagon.
A writer in an eastern paper re
marks that one or two more turns
of the screw will raise the price of
meat so high that a look at it will
take away the appetite.
The recent slump in copper
which caused the laying off of
6,000 miners in Butte and threat
ens to be the cause of more being
out of employment, should be re
ceived as good news by the people
of the gold and silver camps of the
west. The miners in Butte have
received high wages and as long
&b there was a demand for men in
that section, it was difficult to pro
cure miners in the smaller camps.
The men who are being laid off
will have to look to other fields for
work and will drift to tho gold
and silver mines.
Action is being taken by the
government to prosecute the busi
ness houses of the state that sell
convict-made goods. The deputy
labor commissioner claims he has
sufficient evidence against a large
store in Denver to warrant his
bringing proceedings. The goods
that are being sold are not stamp
ed as penitentiary made as the
law requires, and while it isn’t
against the statutes for firms to
deal in these wares provided they
are properly marked, dealers are
required to pay a license of SSOO.
It is the aim of the commissioner
of labor to procure the names of
firms violating the law in this re
spect and the same will be made
public.
Tho writer received a rather
unique invitation from Sam Dut
ton, the genial proprietor of the
Albany hotel in Denver, and his
wife, to attend a “huskin' 1 , held
last evening. We didn’t attend
because judging from the tone of
the invitation it was to be a full
dress affair and a fellow was sup
posed to ccme attired in one of
those suits called “full evening
dress,” the coat of which the front
endlines just below the diaphragm
and the rear takes a decidedly
downward course, almost coming
to a point. We always did feel ill
ut ease in one of those coverings,
and never could figure out just
what the tuilor who designed the
garment intended the wenrer
should do with his hands. How
ever, from accounts, the “huskin”
uns a big social success despite
our non-attendance.
A general canvas of tboso high
in the Republican party through
out the United States has just
been completed by the Chicago
Tribune and the sentiment of the
people lenrned regarding President
Roosevelt for a third term. About
100 expressions in the form of bal
lots were received from each state
of the union. The ballot proved
that he is a popular idol in all sec
tions, savo among the negroes of
the south. These are opposed to
him on account of the course he
took in discharging the colored
regiment for shooting up Browns
ville some months since. While
not favorable to Roosevelt they are
still with the Republican party
and have their choice among the
several Republicans who have been
mentioned as presidential possi

of Alcohol
Doctors prescribe very little, if
any, alcohol these days. They
prefer strong tonics and altera

with modern medical science.
It explains why Ayer’s Sar

free from alcohol. Ask your
doctor. Follow his advice.
