Henry C. Bolsinger, a prom inent mining man and politician of Gilpin county. Is showing great In terest in the different propositions cut by the big Clear Creek tunnels.

In early days Mr. Bolsinger pro duced a large fortune from the Hu bert mine, which had the sad effect of beguiling him into politics, but he has gotten over that now and is confining himself to legitimate lines. However, he still occasionally gazes towards the state capitol and sighs for the good old tlmeB when he held the speaker’s eye and told those tenderfoot statesmen how to do things for we the people. Mr. Bol singer is a frequent visitor to Idaho Springs and a steady patron of her excellent mineral baths, by which he solemnly affirms.—Idaho Springs Min er. r 1 ' j ; When You Buy BUY AT HOME Tb» lam.

The Observer below prints the text of tho Sulzer parcels post bill, sub mitted for passage in the national congress. Just at present this, meas ure is taking the attention of the members of the house and senate and is being freely discussed by tho masses of the American people. Op position to the measure has devel oped among tho retail merchants of tho country for the reason, as they claim, that it places the local dealer in direct competition with the big dealers of the city and the eastern mail order houses. Tho parcels post also finds vigorous opposition in the express companies, as its passage would moan a groat reduction in the revenues of these grasping corpora tions: A bill (by Mr. Sulzer; H. R. No. 26581) to reduce postal rates, to im prove the postal service, and to in crease postal revenues.

To be able to write a good letter is an accomplishment, but to know when not to do so i 3 wisdom. We wish at this time to call the attention of the public in general to tho fact that a genial gentleman by tho name of Sherman is now presid ing over the upper house of congress. He once boro the distinction of be ing a member of that/ body. If you can feel pain, you can bo roasonably certain that you are not dead yet, which ought to bo worth something. Repentance that comes only when punishment stares you in tho face will be materially discounted when you come to balance accounts with St. Peter at the Pearly Gate. The average woman, doesn’t spend over $25 a year for hats. The aver age smoker doesn’t spend less than SSO a year on tobacco. Ladies, here’s your argument. It beats all get out how a woman will make a blamed fool of a man and then go right ahead and marry him. What is the sense of all this talk about love at first sight when we all know that love is blind? Tho Wright brothers’ castles in the air have all come true. Luck consists of nine parts hard work and the balance good, common sense. The most sensible man, and the one with the best chance for, happi ness, is the one who doesn’t try to delude himself into the belief that he understands women. The policeman is the only one who can make a business of looking for trouble and be commended for find ing it. The person who expects but little deserves credit for prophetic fore sightedness. To be on good terms with those whom you do business is to have your invoices stamped: “Terms, 90 days.” A father who makes the rules for the house should stiefc around a bit and see to the enforcing of them. The editor of the* Congressional Record could improve his magazine very materially by blue-penciling tho contributions at least as much as a country , editor does. A New Jersey farmer has started a suit against an airship owner for trespass—but the chances are it will be found that there are no grounds for such an action. A St. Louis woman says she shot her husband “Just fpr fun.” She made a hit with her, humor, all right. A Chicago man offers to sell him self to the highest bidder. He must have been successful at the recent election. “Everything comes to him who waits,” it is said—and some get what they bave coming. Woman can’t expect to make much progress while she wears the hobble sxirt. A correspondent writes: “I do not sleep of nights, I become possessed of the idea that someone is break ing into my safe. What can I do?” This letter was received before Christ mas. No doubt he has by this time had all cause for worry removed. A few congressmen will soon bo franking their household goods home from Washington. After March 4th their name won’t carry any weight with the U. S. mail department. “Hobson now has a dream that the Japanese will eventually annex the United States,” says a dally. That’ll be an easy way of doing away with all this war talk. The man who wears out his pos terior can't expect to leave much to posterity. An exchange makes the statement that “every time John D. breathes ho draws $29.60.” It might also be ad ded that he has the faculty of hold ing his breath developed to a nice ty. Politics makes all men equal for the time being. Rockefeller says he can do a bigger firmity should overtake him, the day’s work now than ho could twen ty years ago.

The Bolder the Plan the More Likely la Buccess—lf Criminals Could Keep Quiet More Would Get Away. The case of Dr. Crippen and Ethel Leneve and their attempt to escape in disguise from Europe when wanted on a murder charge by London’s po lice, leads the London Spectator to observe that "a moral or material disguise is, of course the chief part of the secret of disappearing. A ma terial disguise may be the most ef fectual method of all. Imagine a man who can permanently disguise himself as a woman, so that no one would be lieve even on the closest scrutiny that he was not a woman; he might merge himself in a new community for tbe rest of his life with little risk of be ing discovered. But the possibility of such a disguise is rare indeed; it would have to be aided by natural defects such as a falsetto voice, halr lesuness and a feminine countenance. “For most fugitives the only per manent resource—helped, perhaps, by the temporary *adoption of a disguised physical appearance—is moral dis guise. “The more audacious the plan the more likely is success. Criminals are commonly betrayed not by too much daring but by vanity or ineradicable talkativeness, which may be the same thing. If congenital criminals could only keep quiet more of them would get Anally away by undertaking some resolute change of life; by Joining a ship- short of hands at the last mo ment —by what sailors call a pier head Jump—or by some such exotic occupation as one of the accomplices in Lincoln’s murder is said to have embraced when he become a member of the Papal Guard at the Vatican. “But if a man does not ebtray him self. as by a fortunate dispensation of Providence regular criminals gen erally do. how could he most success fully be audacious? The extreme of audacity would be to become an em ploye in a prison, a warder, or a po liceman. Another line of safety would be to commit a minor offense and be safely locked up under the caro of the law in some strange district till the hue and cry was over. In fact, one of the best refuges of the fugi tive is to keep himself well before the public in some new capacity. If he were to do something preposterously different from his crime, if he were to give exhibitions in a life saving suit of his own Invention like Captain Boyton, or wheel a barrel from Naples to NlJni-Novgorod to advertise a new diet with a marvelous percentage of protelds or set up a' private detective agency, he would be exerting in his own case something comparable to the counter-irritant in medical treat ment “One is led to imagine the art of disappearance—we are not now think ing of crime—as a fascinating game. How many of us who pride ourselves on our sagacity could remain hidden for a month with Scotland Yard and all the gossip of the country and all the newspapers bent on ferreting us out?" All of It. Some of his friends heard Atlas sigh ing and asked him what was the mat ter. "I've got a world of trouble on my shoulders." he answered. PROOF POSITIVE. Winks—My landlady Is a cruel hearted woman.
