CHILDREN'S CORNER.
ONI! OF HIS NAMK8.
8t. Nlchotaa
NcTcr a boy had to many name;
Tlicy called lilm Jimmy, and Jim, and Jamc,
Jcems and Jamie; nnd well lie knew
Who It was that wanted him, too.
The boys In tho drect ran after him,
Shouting out loudly, "Jim 1 Hey, J-1-m-m l"
Until the echoes, lltllo and big,
Seemed to bo dancing a Jim Crow Jig.
And llltlo Mabel out In tho hall
"Jlm-mi Jlm-mj."' would sweetly call,
Until ho answered, and let her know
"VVhcro she might And him, sho loTed him so.
Grandpa, R'ho was dignified,
And held his head with an nlr ot pride,
Didn't believe In abridging namci,
And mndo the most that he could of ".T-a-m-c-s 1"
But If papa ever wanted him,
Crisp and curt was tho summons, "Jim!"
That would make the boy In his errands run
Much faster than If ho had said, "My son."
niddy OTlynn could never, It seems,
Call him anything cho hut "Jcems;"
And when tho nurse, Old Mrs. McVyse,
Called him "Jamtnlc," It sounded nice.
But sweeter and dearer than all tho rest,
Was the one pet name ho liked tho best;
"Darling I" he heard It wherever he was at,
For nono but his mother called him that.
aiv MONICUY.
11V JIMMV nitOWN.
Thcro novcr Was such luck. I'vo al
ways thought that Til rather liavo a
monkey than bo a nillllonhclr. Tlicro
is nothing that could bo half so splendid
as a real li7o monkey, but of cotirso I
knew Hint I never could liavo ono until
I should grow up and go to sea and
lirtnrr linmn monkeys and narrots and
shawls to mother just as sailors always
do. Hut l vo aetuauy got a nioiiKey
and If von don't believe it lust look at
tlioso pictures of him that Mr. Travers
made for mo and told mo to send to tho
Youtia rcoulc so that Mr. Harper would
know that tlio nioiiKey was genuine nnu
unadulterated. It was Mr. Travers
that got tho monkey for me. Ono day
thoro camo a woman with an organ and
n monkey Into our yard. Sho was an
Italian, but sho could speak a sort of
Kiin-llsh. and sho said that tho "mur-
donn' spalpeen of n monitor was just
wearlmr tho llfo out of her." So says
Mr. Travers. "What will you tako for
lilm?" and says she, "It's firo dollars
I'd bo after selling lilm for, and may
fond luck iro wiilye!"
What did Mr. Travers do butgivohor
tho money and hand tho monkey to mo
saying: "Hero Jimmy! Tako Film and
bo happy." Wasn't I just happy
thouirh.
Jocko that's tho monkey's namo is
tho loveliest monkey that over lived.
Tobr Trier mar talk about his "Mr.
Stubbs." and toll how ho understands
crorrthing said to him, nnd begs for
crullers and all that, but I tell you "Mr.
Stubbs" was just an ordinary Illiterate
rnonkor alongsldo of my Jocko. I
hadn't had hTin nn hour when ho got
out of my arms and was on tho supper
table, beforo I could get him. Tho ta-
blo was nil set and Bridget was just
going to ring tho bell, but tho monkey
dldnH wait lor her. Iosco lilm eating
tho chicken salad was just wonderful.
Ho finished tho whoto dish in about two
minutes and was washing it down with
tho oil out of tho salad bottlo whon I
caught him. Mother was awfully good
about it and only said, "poor little beast,
ho must bo half-starved, busan, now
muoh ho reminds mo of your brother."
A good mother is as good a thing us a
bov deserves, no matter how good lie
is."
Tho salad somehow did not seem to
ngrco with Jocko, for ho was dreadfully
sick that night. Ion should have seen
how limp ho was, just like a girl Hint
lias fainted away and her young man is
Irvine: to lift her up. Mother doctored
lifm. Sho gave him castor oil as if ho
was her own son. and wrapped him up
in h blanket, and put a mustard plaster
on Ids stomach, and soaked tho end of
Ids tall in warm wator. lie was all rignt
tho next day, and was real gratoful. 1
know ho was grateful, becauso ho
showed it by trying to do good to others
at any rato to tho oat. Our cat
wouldn't speak to him at first, but he
coaxed her. with milk, just as ho had
soon mo do. and finally caught her. It
must haro been dreadfully aggrovoking
to tho cat, for instead of letting her
hnro tho milk ho insisted that sho was
hare tho milk ho insisted that sho was
sick and must haro incdicino. So ho
took jsriugers doiuo oi imir uu mm u
uigspuun, umi uiui,ai,BHuiuujii.
When I caught him and mado him. let
tho cat go thcro was about six tabic-
spoonfuls of oil missing. Mr. 1 ravers
said it was a good thing, for It would
imnroro tho cat's voieo and mako her

Mother said that tho monkey was cruel
nnd It was a shame, but I know that ho
meant to bo kind. Ho know tho oil
mother garo lilm had dono lilm good,
and ho wanted to no mo cat goon, j
know iust how lie felt, for Pro boon
blamed many a timo for trying to do
good, and I can tell you It alwas hurt

Ono aftornoon the boys camo alone

Unelo Felix wasn't catching anything,
they began to navo the way lor a story.

A correspondent of tho Manchester
Guariliun referring to tho statonent that
British heads are smaller than they used
to be. nnd to tho Idea that tills diminu
tion in size is caused only, or chlolly, by
the greater educational pressure oi our
days, says: "I should like to point out
that there is good reason to ferr that
diminution In tho size of tho skull is but
part of a decrease in tho slzo of tho

bo rapidly taking place in this country.
It would bo strange if such a change
did not tako place. For while tho En

favorable than almost any other ellmato

In the last half contury every year a
largo proportion of the population has
been piuecu miner conuuions which pre
vent it from getting exorcise and pure

couraged are, I believe, often driven in
to public-houses mid niusio hulls, and
the habits of drinking, gambling, smok

aro not eonduclvo to physical and moral
growth. The result of tho community's

connection between badly grown bodies
and bably grown minds and souls Is so
oloso that it Is astonishing that all relig

pleasure, the query hns many times

and trnvol should be so universally ex
tended to foreign lands, to the exclusion
of definite knowledge of our own sur
roundings. Stllllngthu conjecture how
ever, wo gavo reins to our own enjoy
ment In tho contemplation of what was
beforo us, and after nitlos of travel, over
plain and valley, arrived at Denor, the
heart of Colorado's civilization nnd
growth.
Lazy, indeed, must bo tho pen that
would not Incline to enthusiasm in this
almost wonderland of experience.
Deliver, though still out union;- the
plains, is pleasantly located upon roll
ing lands that hint tho mountain gran
deur fourteen miles beyond. While
it is not our purpose to
enter into the detail already
familiar through commercial Inter
course, yot it pertains so maryolousl.y
to tho lusthetle, that to pass It by, would
be an Indignity, a shame to Indulge.
Nestling among trees and shrubbery,
wo forget that she was born upon a
plain less than twenty years ago, with
out a hit of green to mark the place
of hor nativity.
Arid nnd sterile was her cradle but
with strength nnd growth, ench blad
of grass was nurtured, until to day wo
seo her broad avenues lined with trees
and foliage, her lawns and gardens
bright with colors, concealing moU
dexterously the struggle that promoted
so luxuriant a verdure.
Next In architectural display, sho is
tho peer of her sister cities in her col
lossal structures for business and gen
eral purpose.
Native enterprise has been most lav
ish in tho adornment of residences,
hotels and public buildings, uniting as
it has every modern appointment until
wo can scarcely realize that six hun
dred miles of dreary wasto llo between
her and much that would constitute her
base of supplies. Thoroughly cosmo
politan with her driveways and park,
theatres and halls, churches and libra
ries, sho is truly tho "Queen City" of
tho plains.
Again, hor business propority is most
matured. Whilo mining interests have
added directly or indirectly to her na
tive wealth and advancement, to-day
sho stands, through her commercial In
tercourse, tho great distributing centre
of Colorado, and tho ond is not yet. So
with obstructions, natural and compul
sory, no wonder wo stand in awo be
foro the power, that almost in the space
of six days, created out of chaos, so fair
a handiwork. Among her most, recent
gigantic constructions is the Union De
pot, occupied jointly by the Union Pa
cific, with Its branches, and the Denver
and Hlo Grande. In design and archi
tecture, it is most lavish. Upon Its
tower will ho placed an electric light of
ln.OOO candle light power, and when en
tirely completed, with Its lawns, gar
dens ami fountains will be ono of tho
most commodious, eonrenlent, nnd cle
an! structures In this country.
While, however, tho wi.rkot man with
his cities and towns havo beguiled, it is
tho work of God of which wo would
especially write.
Hoarding tho Colorada Central train
at Denver, wo prepared ourselves for
ono of the most charming seonlo grati
fications it was over our experience to
know. Few realize the vast contribu
tion to comfort and enso our rtilroads
extend to traveller and tourist, but nono
havo conferred moro furors and eourto-
ies, or aided tho slght'Seor by greater
facilities than tho Colorado Central
now under the management of the
Union Pacific. Leaving Denver at au
altitude of 5221 feet, wo began our up
ward pathway to tho mountains. Pass
lug pleasantly and rapidly over iiftcon
miles of plain nnd valley, leaving be
hind us manufacturing establishments,
and later Argo, with horsmolting works
of enormous capacity, wo arrived at
Golden tho "Lowell" of Colorado, and
gateway to Clear Crook Canon.
Hero began tho charm of the trip. With
observation car to assist sight-seeing to
the utmost, tho seonlo ell'eet Is drunk to
the brim.
Following the stream from whence
this canon derives its name, for miles
the engine forces its circuitous ascent.

among mountains and cliffs, halting
now and again for exchange of tvafiio
that marks for the miner the only soc
ial oxeitoinont ot the day, passing
placer mining, locations washed again
and again, and at somo points remun
eratively so by the patient John China
man, we at last reach Hlaokllawk at an
altitude of 7075 feet amid tho center of
tho mining district. Horo, mining dl

To overcome the rapid nscont of
over five hundred feet from Hlnok

Again pursuing our adventurous
pleasure wo hero sought variety by
mounting the primitive coach, nnd
with driver eccentric in history and in
illvliluality.thogulfh ringing with many
a laugh and merry jost, wo traced tho
downward mountain effects of Virginia
canon for a distanco of six miles. Upon
mountain slopes wo sighted the pros
pector's course through his trail of
gophcr-llko holes, ami then again
inhaled tho fragrance of myriads of
wild roses, facing formidable precipices
and rounding dextrously yawning
chasms, guided always by tho saucy
streamlet at our side, we finally reached
tho plain that heralded to u s, one of
tho pleasurable resorts of Colorado.
Idaho Springs. Hero, shclte.'ed
on nil sides by mountains, with
dainty houses and bits of green,
possessing springs renowned for medi
cal virtues, wo found indeed a fitting
home for invalids and tourists. Not
nlono for this however, lay tho charm
of Idaho Springs. Within three miles,
on the summit of Hollevuu iiiguntaln,
nl au elevation of 11,000 feet lay tho
very acme of our trip.
This "Look out" point, mado famous
iV Hierstadt's "Storm in the Kooky
mountains," unrolled a panoramic view
before which wo stood with uncovered
leads. To the oast lay the plain, appar
ently a vast Nlieet of water in whoso

thirty miles away; to the south a con
tinued lino of myriads of elevations,
tinted in shadows ami misty in lines,

of the snowy range, crested with white
lining the summit of tho
wliolo mountain sweep whilo
it our feet lay gorges and chasms,
running streams and verdant valley,
tracing their travels until lost in the
misty distance of their source. Never,
while memory lasts can this wonderful

by mountain heights at an altitude of
S.fiiJU foot, outer a hotel with modern
furnishings and gratefully nestlo under
blankets for the night, conscious of n
neighborly stove, a requirement at all
times in this high altitude.
Hero again aro enchanting views and
remarkable scenery. At one glance we
