F.ii? TIIK j NI KM ! i NC r.i: COLORADO. Thc Switzerland of America---Ils Moun tains and its .Mines. lTEItl.ii, Coi,., July 15, 1HU0. Kmbraeing that portion of tho Rocky Mountains in which is thc grandest scenery of thc West, and at whose feet lies the most fertile plains and valleys, it has ever commended itself to thc sturdy laborer, the cautious capitalist, the energetic agriculturist who, pausing in their westward ven ture, have not failed to profit them selves by its mineral, agricultural and manufacturing resources, and win? have builded by their industry a social and political fabric which sustain in its pose oue of the brightest stars on thc banner of Americanism-Colorado. Senator Teller, the Republican ex ponent of Aryanism, recently remark ing on thc undeveloped mining re sources here, said that a number of young men make thousands of dollars yearly by locating claims and selling them to capitalists. They do. But while their system of locating and selling is regarded by miners in gene ral as being thc moro profitable, on account of the usual lack of funds to develop, and thc numerous instances in which a promising claim turned out to be worthless, many, however, hav ing located a claim stay by it, some times to a bitter end, yet often to reap a rich reward. Cripple Creek, which is thc heart of the mining region, was a few years ago unknown, except to a few cow-boys and some peregrinating apostles of thc pick and spade. A cow-boy, chasing along " Poverty Gulch," rode his bronco into a small creek, breaking a neck for thc beast on a big log and a legforhimself,hence "CrippleCreek." "Poverty Gulch," now thc centre of thc city, engaged thc attention of these miners, but they were regarded as lunatics for prospecting where all their predecessors had failed. Though it looked all right, no gold had ever been discovered. 'Twas at this time that "Old Man Stratton*' came over thc horizon from somewhere-North. Strat ton was a carpenter by trade and a vc. y old man ; yet, with all his years, he determined to dispatch thc dragon n,,n~AnA ?V? -l.la-Wont after week he dug incessantly, assisted by the decrepit old lady, his wife ; but, dig as he may, he still failed to "dig up" for his "grub stake," and the people at home had ceased to send him money to squander in his crazy schem Relatives had endeavored to dissuade him, but the old gentleman had thc bit in his teeth, he refused to "jump" his claim, but swore ho would perish by it. After sinking his shaft over a hundred feet ono fourth of July ho struck a richly-paying gold quartz, and in a few weeks1 time had extract ed several thousands. In honor of tliLt day he called his raine the "la dependence," now the richest in Crip ple Creek, a district that turned out twenty-five million iirgold last year. This isn't all of the gentleman now known as Mr. Stratton. After foroing old earth to disgorge somo thousands, ho shut off work, and Bit ting down commenced to coquette with capitalists. Peoplo told him to dig his gold, but he took no ohances. Ho said it waB safer in thc earth than it would be in a bank ; so he went to London to negotiate, and after pocket ing a cool ten million from its sale, turned thc "Independence" over to an English syndicate. It was some time after this that Mr. Stratton went to Denver and reg istered at the Trown Palace-finest "hotel there. Whether his appearance betrayed the poverty of his earlier days, or indicated rawness of present . ones, or whether he merely neglected ' to tip thc waiter has not been definite ly stated ; at any rate tho hospitalities ot the house did not seem to him to be forthcoming in a manner compati ble with Mr. Stratton's dignity, or rather with his dollars. So bc goes to thc lessor of the hotel, whose at torney picks a flaw in the lease that bad been made to Mr. Stratton's host, all of which culminated in thc pur chase of the Palace for several hun dred thousand dollars by the Cripple Creek cnesus, who prooeeded to run it in a manner corresponding to his aesthetic tasto. Wages in this country aro regulated by the Western Federation of Labor in which the mining unions predomi nate. Experienced miners are paid five dollars per day; "muckers," or those unskilled in mining, and are ^> m rv In tr fri nt rvrr? in or TT laborers -TO" Hi! ?he mines, receive from two seventy five to three and one-half dollars per day, or in Western vernacular, "from two dollars and six bits up." Eight boors is the working day, also regu lated by the Union. If one would labor he must belong to the Union ; otherwise he will not hold his job. A Union representative ?alls on the working stranger, and if ?tho stranger pay a six-dollar member ship fee, he may be allowed to work ; if not, he is liable to be drummed out .of town. But this is needless, for the TJnicn representative may eall on the employer and say! "You have em ployed a non-Union man ; discharge liii?." lu Gther words, on theques lion of ".-cab" ?>r lion-I'D iou work men, labor speaks t<> capital ?ii?' a l'eu d al lord, and capital obeys ilk?' a I vassal. This may bc w. 1! from a so cialist point of view, but it doubtlce'i accounts to same extent i"?' thc thou sands of idle men laying around Lead ville, Urippie and other mining towns who ' brace" people for thc price pf a |n>ik chop, and claim lo have ruined their eye sight looking for work ; that a dollar in their pocket would feel like a cord of wood. .Journeying northward along the Santa Fe 1'ucific, from the southeast ern boundary of Colorado, may be seen the choicest farming landa of the west. Vast plains, extending from the foot of the Rockies southward to the arid plains of New Mexico and Arizona, have within three or foui years been converted into proliflc farms. Though it seldom rains iu this section, ditches leading from thc Arkan.-as River have been extended as far as a hundred miles into thc interior, supplying wa ter in all seasons. Continuing northward toward Colo rado Springs, while yet seventy miles away, can be seen the snow-crowned crest of Pike's Peak towering above the city to an altitude of nearly three miles-a sight for the gods. I felt that Bryan's lines on Mount Blanc would bo appropriate here. Thc surrounding valleys and plains, garbed in green, arc a limitless ex panse, flecked here and there with gold ; these flecks of gold, however, being stacks of brilliantly colored alfalfa hay, and the green represents broad fields of beots. A million dol lar plant has been erected at Rook Ford for thc purpose of manufacturing these beets into sugar, which, when placed by the side of that made from cane, none but an expert can discrim inate. These Elysian fields become a bit prosaic when you inquire for the facts. But Pike's Peak is grand-nine miles from thc city. You go up on a steam cog road. I stood on top of that mountain and struggled for breath. Thc "(Jardeo of (he Gods" is not the least attractive of Colorado scenery. Thc gods look grimly from thc foot hills of thc Peak, 'neath thc protect ing .-egis of whose shade they serenely rest. Huge boulders of rock, in life like form, one draws but lightly on thc imagination to give them the per fect features of mammoth monsters ol forgotten ages. Some coiled on mas sive pedestals stare with brazen cf frontcry ; some disport in acrobatic feats ; others arc engaged in deadly hand-to-hand conflict, and one hideous looking demon stands aside, his face distorted by thc malicious leer and grin of an horrid devil-as if he knew of aud gloated in the calamity abouf to befall ; for, apparently, the gods in thc midst of some fearful orgy looked all simultaneously on thc Heat of the Medusa and became transfixec tho instant, and, as in that instant ol wicked carousal, remain to thia day monuments to their own folly and un righteousness. Poor gods 1 Obsolet* in their office the stalwart "Red Man' no longer kneels to them in supplies tion against thc savage encroachment! of the pale-face ; the foul hand o! mammon hast invaded the sacredness of their precincts, converting it int?, a museum for the curious, and tin godless kodak fiends vio for the shaun of portraying them to the irrevcren gazo of man. By-the-way, Colorado will cast he vote for Bryan. Hurrah for Bryan CLIFTON A. BROWN. SlooO Poison Cured by B.B.B.-Bottle Free to Suffet . rs.

U. DEPARTMENT. Conducted by lin- ladies ol' the W. C. 'I*. I*, of Anderson, S. C. < tar "White HibboocrV' have a gold en opportunity now to show their colors. The object of our organiza tion is thc encouragement of purity of life, the uplifting of the human race. With thia noble motto ever before us, "For God, Home and Native Land," naturally the W. C. T. I', worker yearns to lend her aid to any cause-in tended to uplift the fallen or as a shield to thc innocent. We are not a woman's suffrage organization. No, a thousand times no, but we have minds to think and hearts to feel. The influence of a strong, noble wo man is beyond calculation. She gains this sweet power over strong men, not where crowds are gathered together, but in the sacred quietness of the home. Oftentimes unconscious of thc fact himself the husband is moulded to thc fancy of the wife, the big boy yie'ds to the wishes of his mother, etc. Ah! the mystic power of a good wo man's love. The W. C. T. U. workers desire and work for tho furtherance of all that is pure and elevating, but above all our object and aim is the suppression of intemperance-drunk enness; and as a drowning man grabs at a straw we should avail ourselves of every opportunity tD push on our worthy cause. Tho ocean is made of drops of water, the land of grains of sand; the combined influence of the women of South Carolina can win a glorious victory for prohibition-tem perance. God hasten the day when this temptation will be out of the way of our youths, the coming men. It stalks aroun? a devouring wolf, yet often in sheep's clothing-the punch room or bowls is made mostattractive, cut glass sparkles, while hands fill the glasses, feminine lips invite men, young and old, to-sometimes their doom-for I've been told oftentimes the thirst kindled iu this fashionable way burns on until quenched behind thc scene or later in the night with drinks stronger. We fear before the judgement seat many a man will ex plain his fall as did Adam of old, with, "Thc woman gave me and I did drink." Women, arise shake off your lethargy, open your eyes to the oppor tunities for good around you. Wield your iuflueuce for the cause of tem perance, and surely vietory will fol low. Thc prohibition cause is now led by a man in every way worthy of the high honor bestowed on him. A man with executive ability and wide experience. Tho cause will be wisely managed by him, but we plead not for the man, 'tis prohibition-anything that will remove this curse out of the easyorcach of our men that we long and pray for. Mothers and sisters, take this temptation from the road that leads your young sons and broth ers to manhood; Wo admit the dispen sary is an improvement on the saloon, but that has been tried and found wanting. Now the time is ripe for an other step onward, upward. Woman's Idea of Man's Courage. It is a conceded faot what woman most admires in a roan is courage. That indomitable courage which causes him to toy with the perplexing pro blems of life as he would with the cherry lips of a blooming maiden; courage that gives him the presence of mind, should the lines break, to seize tho tail of a runaway horse. Courage to give his girl an additional hug in thc presenoeof her father when he chances to run upon them unex pectedly. Courago to enter his neigh bor's room at a hotel at midnight and assist the poor, sleepy father in walk ing .the oolioky baby until thc first ap proach of dawning day; courage to sit by and swallow the prophecies of his mother-in-law in regard to his future welfare; oourage to show his superior skill in fencing with a broom when his wifo is sick and tho servants fail to put in their appearance; courage to leap out of bed in winter time when thc thermometer stands ten below zero and walk barefooted across five yards of oiloloth to scare a mouse out of the bureau drawer; courage to mash a.fly on the slick bald head of his father-in law should the opportunity present itself; courage to leap through the winnow of a parsing train running at tho rate of thirty miles an hour, and, amid showering bullets, seise the bold outlaw and hurl him from the oars, after receiving suoh injuries as a bul let hole through both ears, broken i 2020, disjointed ksCC ?.?'' . ?ftCe arv disfigured his girl would simply be a fool if she failed to jilt him. In faot, man must have suoh cour ago as will enable him tc oope with anything whioh might have happened in the psst, is happening now, or which may happen io the future, eveo though it be twins. Man. poor man, ovon under all these trying circum stances, must not in any instanoe show the white feather. Men, if you have not suoh oourage. you might as well crawl under the bed and court the spiders and bedbugs. Hugh Kuy, in Courier-Journal.

Lt h not as cusj always to tell thc truth ns may sometimes appear. Thc average man docs not tell an untruth deliberately or maliciously, but he is quite likely to tell untruths out of lib good nature, his fear of giving offense or his vanity. It takes a mau of mor al courage to say "I do not know." Nine men out of ten (all of them be ing accounted honest as the world goes) will pretend to know rather than confess their ignorance. Some of them will do it with effrontery; others will shirk thc confession and by their silence pretend to have knowledge they do not posses. During a politi cal campaign like that upon which wc are about to enter a vast amount of this kind of untruthfulness is devel oped. In the discussion of thc issues of the day questions arise respecting constitutional provisions, the laws of thc country, the history of parties, and but few of the disputants will have tho honesty to say "I do not know" when cornered in a debate. They will either evade the question or invent a reply to carry them over the awkward place They do not lie mali ciously, but they are insinoerc. So also in social life men and women act a part and deceive or try to deceive sometimes out of vanity, someties out of good nature-because they do not wish to give offense. It is quite com mon to meet otherwiso honest men and women who 'pretend to have family connections or means or technical skill that they do not really possess. They are seeking to give themselves a de gree of importance to which they are not entitled, and while they may not either tell or act in untruth they sug gest a false impression and are abso lutely insincere. A more common form of insinceseity, because it is pre scribed by their ules of ordinary po liteness, is that which leads us to treat with respect and apparent interest one who is really despised. There is in sincerity in this, no doubt, but it is to some extent excusable, because the opposite course is moro offensive. The man is boorish who, being introduced to one whom he does not like, says so in words'ior manner. Such insincerity as may be involved in polite, behavior is in such a case excusable, but it should not be extended beyond neces sary conventionalities. The sociil falsehoods that are to be reprobetid are the effusive utterances that ha?c no basis or true feeling. Politeness does not require that onp shall say pleasant thing to a man for whom one has no regard, and t.ie insincerity if< absolute when one uses such expres sions for purposes of deception and a few minutes afterwards recants them to a mutual friend. To be sincere and truthful it is not necessary that one should disclose to the world his inmost thoughts. But he should not conceal them by falsehoods. He may remain silent if he chooses in case? which do not require an expression of opinion; he may conceal his thoughts or feelings under a conventional ob servance of the rules of society with out being justly accused of insincer ity, provided he is careful not to give positive expression to false sentiments with an intention to deceive. It is well, however, to keep a close watch on one's self to see that there is no unconscious drifting away from the habit of telling the truth. The testis one's own conscience, or feeling of Bolfreapect. What the world may say is a matter of smaii importanee com pared with what conscience says. Have wc dealt fairly and sincerely hy our fellow' men, saying disagreeable things only when duty required us to do so? If so we have been sincere even though we may not have told the world everything we thought or gone out of our way to tell the troth when justified in remaining silent.-Balti more Sun. - mm mt rn* A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little Daughter's Life? I am the mother of eight ohildren, and have had a great deal of experi ence with medicines. Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die.

I saw by an advertise ment in our paper that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in tho house. It saved nay little daughter's life. I am anxious for ev ery mother to know what an excellent medicino it is.
