YEARS ago.
To Pike’s Peak. That is what folks
said years ago. They did not go to
Pike’s Peak, but to the junction of Cher
ry Creek with the South Platte river,
where in the bed of the stream gold was
found. Pike’s Peak was a landmark seen
for hundreds of miles, and to get within
seventy-five^miles of it was ‘‘getting
there’’ in those days.
The beautiful temperance city of Colo
rado Springs, forty-nve miles south from
Denver, is oetwesu Denver and Pike’s
Peak, but there are no springs at Colo
rado Springs. At the foot of the moun
tains, five milee west, are springs, at
Manitou, or in the garden of the gods,
as some one named this grand, majestic
locality, from which folks start on horses
or mujes for the top of Pike’s Peafo and
a chance to see the world below. We
see into the valley of the South Platte.
It comes out from a doorway in the
mountains, about twenty-six miles south
west from Denver, as the water came out
of the rook struck by Moses.
By the way, Moses was different from
some people of to-day, as he was a suc
cessful striker.
See the crooked line of bright, green
trees, thrifty cotton-wood, that mark the
course of the river. See the belt of green'
farms along the river, clear down to
Denver, ana on forty miles north, -show

There it is, fourteen miles cast of the foot

mountaina, on the plains. It looks like
an oasis in a desert. A city four miles
long and about a mile and a half wide.
A city of 80,000 inhabitants. One of the
handsomest, taost progressive cities in
the Union. Considering all things it ha*
no rival on earth. Where thirty year*

The great advantage claimed for the

The undulating motion of the ordinary

to dive without striking its object The
new one, it ia said, can be aimed more

Tan Wyck, of Nebraska, ia the only
Senator whom his associates do not pre
tend to understand. He is liable to ret
up at any time and create a *ow, and the
records of the present Congress will show
that he has had as much of the fun of
the Senate ae any two men in it Van
Wyck is nothing if not audacious. Ha
will attack any one who stands in his
way. Only a few days ago Edmunds
arose and attempted to squelch the fiery
Nebraskan with an avalanche of Sena
torial precedents. But Van Wyck abso
lutely refused to be squelched, and gn re
ly replied- in his most rasping tones:
“Now I suppose we shall be treated to
the terrors of the Supreme Court. ” The
Senate, of course, laughed, and that, too,
at the expense of the great Edmonds.
Van Wyck is no respecter of persons.
When fully convinced that a certain
project is right and ought to prevail
there isn’t anybody in the Senate who
can prevent his fighting that measure to
the bitter end. “Old Van,” as the boys
call him, is against secret seasons. He
believes that the Senate was created for
the purpose of attending to a part olthe
people’s business. Therefore, he argues,
the people are justly entitled to a full
knowledge of all that is going on. —Wash
