Lost Hair
"My hair came out by the hand-
ful, and the gray hairs began to
creep in. I tried Ayer's HairVigor,
and it stopped the hair from com-
ing out andrestored the color."--
Mrs. M. D. Gray, No. Salem, Masc.
There's a pleasure in
offering such a prepara-
tion as Ayer's Hair Vigor.
It gives to all who use it
such satisfaction. The
hair becomes thidker,
longer, softer, 'and more
glossy. And you feel so
secure in using such an
old and reliable prepara-
tion. ,l.,,, ~i,. ~. ~a~

Foolish Verselets.
Will you please tell me, if yOU kuow,
Why is it that a crow can't crow?
The curious zebra is covered with bars,
He'd make a nice flag if he only had stars,
He told a story, his facts were blurred,
i And now he's called the lyre bird.
i The goat's not a cycle yet in books I've read
i The pictures show handle bars up on his head
The quaint porcupine, people say disappoints,
But yet you'll admit he has many fine points.
The owl is a bad bird. at least so they say,
He's out every night aud he's sleeplngall day.
It may rain c~ts and dogs and I never would
fear,
But gracious, suppose it would ever reindeer.
1he kangaroo never will dance till he drops,
And yet he's attended a groat many hops.
Money flies, but then I've heard,
That there exists a dollar bird.
The trade mark is good, It prohibits a ste~l,
And even the Esquimau uses a seal.
When on the water, it's fine luck,
To watch and see a steamer duck.
An animal here which is down on the blotter,
They say catches fish, but I don't think it
otter.
"Ah" sighed the wren when all was still,
"What made the nighthawk whip-poor-will?"
The elephant hasn't got clothing they say,
To pack in his trunk when he goes tar away.
"Now. see here, ma I'm more than sure,"
Cried Teddy, who's a sage,
"Our canary bird eats fish becmme
There's perches in his cage."
"What are you doing in the woods?"
Cried Daisy to her brother Ned,
"O, nothing much, It's Just a scheme
I have to tame wild flowers, he sa|d,
King Leo Lion, a beast,
One fine day attended a feast,
He ate up each guest,
And then took a rest.
And murmured, "Well, I,m not the least."
Said Tommy to his sister,
"Come here, before you go,
Here s an awlul lot of funny things
Which I would like to know,
Is a young man ant an uncle?
Is a Jayhird always green?
Do llghtiling bugs make lightning7
Does a king crab wed a queen?
Is a bluebird melancholy?
Does a ~ea enjoy a hop?
Do butterflies make butter?
Does a skybird ever drop?
Is a little bull a bullet?
Does a partridge make you quail?
Is a parson bird a preachel~'
Can a raUbird make a rail?
And there Is only one thing more
About which I really care,
Is the Welsh rabbit related
To the festive Belgian hare?"

A Born Commander.
His parents proudly looked at him
When he in childhood lay,
And marvelled at his strength of Jaw,
And wondered at the way
His brow projected o'er his eyes,
And clasped each other's hands,
And said: " 'Tis plain enough that he
Was beta to give commands."
He rides down through the streets today,
And olt he lifts his hand
And fiercely jerks the rope above
His head and gives command,
He cries, "Move up in frontI" and when
Forgetful women dare
To loiter on the step he yells,
"Come now, be lively there."

Never Took a Dare.
The case of Douglas vs Douglas which
was tried iu the county court last Thurs-
day was a little out of the ordinary. The
story told on the stand by Mr. Douglas
was as follows: "About four years ago
when he was about 21 years old he was
keeping company with Mabel Baily, the
19 year old daughter of a Bastings, Nab.
attorney. They went for a drive one
day and he dared her to marry him. She
replied that she "never took a dare" and
so they continued the drive to Clay Cen-
ter, Nab., where a license was procured
and a clergyman performed the cere-
mony. The license, however, at the ur-
gent request of the girl was ismied in the
names of Stella R. Bailey and Wm.
Douglas, the first names being assumed.
Aftor the ceremony was performed the
young wife repented of her action and
insisted upon being taken to her home.
Thts was done and tho couplo never lived
together as man and wife. It was nearly
a year later before the fact of the mar-
riage became known.
Douglas was informed that because
the marriage was under assumed names
and that they had never Jived together
it was invalid and left Nebraska for
Colorado. Later he learned that his for-
mer information was not correct and
that they were legally married. Then
he wrote his wife to this effect. He stated
that he was in a position to make a com-
fortable home for her and asked her to
come to Colorado and be in fact, what
she was in the eyes of the law, his wife•
She refused to do so, and at last Mr.
Douglas became satisfied that she did
not love him and applied for a divorce
which was granted him.
Knights Templar at Louisville, Ky.
Tbe most notable gathering in the his
tory of Free Masonry will be the trien-
nial conclave of Knights Templar which
meets in Louisville, Kentucky, on the
26th, 27th and 28th of this month. The
sons and daughters of the Blue Grass
State are famed for their hospitahty, and
the elaborate preparations being made
by the citizens of Louisville, and the
state generally, for the entertainment of
the Templars, indicates that all previous
records will be eclipsed. Already ~100,-
000 has been raised for the purpose.
A rate of one fare plus $200 for the
round trip has been made from all points.
The dates of sale from Colorado are Aug.
23rd, 2~:th and 25th, return limit by ex-
tension, September 16th. The official
route is via the Burlington from Denver
to St Louis, thence Baltimore & Ohio

Knights, and the Burlington has ar-
ranged a special Pullman train, vesti-
buled throughout, to leave Denver about
2:30 p. m. August 23rd, and run through
to Louisville without change, arriving
there on Monday, the 2~th, at 7:80 a. m.
Applications for berth reservations on

Noblesse obl l~.
Crestone Rebekha Lodge.
Last Saturday evening under the per-
sonal supervision of the state president,
Mrs. Tillie Shively, a Rebeka lodge was
instituted in Crestone with about thirty
members. Owing to the inability of the
Saguache degree team to attend, the
floor work was omitted. The lodge will
be known as Alpha Rebekha lodge No.
82. The officers elected and obligated
are as follows: Noble grand, Mrs. Loretta
Rich; vice grand, Mrs. Tomlin; prelate;
Mrs. Crooks; warden, Mrs. Keough; sec-
retary, Mrs. Frank Brumbly; treasurer,
Mrs. Bunn; conductor, Mrs. Frank Wil-
son; out sideguard, Thos. Keough; in-
side guard, Gee. Ludwig. After institut-
ing, delicious refreshments were served
and a general good time was indulged in
by everybody. Regular meeting night is
Thursday of each week until further no.
tice.--Miner.
r The hail last Thursday afternoon was
much worse than was generally known.
The appraisers were kept busy for sev-
eral days. A few miles north of town in
the neighborhood of James Carson the
hail completely destroyed everything,
not even enough loft for hay. Most of
the people are insured in the home in-
surance company, but as there is such a
great loss in general this year there will
be little left for those who have lost all.

George Buckus Found.
Sheriff Williams on Friday night of
last week received a telegram from the
sheriff at Livingston, Montana, that he
had arrested and was holding George
Buckus wanted in this cuunty. Buokus
was under arrest for stealing a horse
and was out on bonds. Just before the
June term of the district court he jump.
ed his bonds and decamped. Since that
time Sheriff Williams has been hunting
for him and sent to the sheriff's of Mon-
tana and other states circulars with a
good photo of the young man. Sheriff
Willams left on Sunday morning for
Denver and there procured his requisi-
tion papers.
Astounded the Editor.
Editor S. A. Brown of Bennettsville,
S. C., was once immensely surprised.
"Through long suffering from dyspep-
sia," he writes, "my wife wasgreatJy run
down. She had no strength or vigor
and suffered great distress from her
stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters
which helped her at once, and, after
using four bottles, she is entirely well
can eat anything. Its a grand tonic, and
its gentle laxative qualities are splendid
for torpid livor." For indigestion, loss
of appetite, stomach and liver troubles
its a positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50
cents at Lord & Wilcox's drug store.

Want Better Fighters.
The following from the Colorado
Springs Gazett's Victor correspondent
would seem to indicate that the rec~nt
scrap between Pete Everett and Jack-
son was not a very swift affair:
The Gold Coin club management an-
nounces that there will be no more prize
fights pulled off in the arena of the club.
The management has adopted every
means in the past to have its pugilistic
events first class, and it has been par-
tially sttccessful in this effort. The tame
affair of Wednesday between Mexican
Pete Everett and Jackson, colored, has
led the club to bar all fighters. Enter-
tainments of a higher class will iu the
future be given.
P.T. Thomas, Sumterville, Ala., "i
was suffering from dyspepsia when I
commenced taking Kodol Dyspepsm
Cure. I took several bottles and can di-
gest anything." Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is

natural digestive fluids. It gives weak
stomachs entire rest, restoring their nat-
ural condition. Saguache Pharmacy.

The MounteAn Girl.
Her step is as light as the step of the dear, she
is a real dear, don't you know.
Her flaure, unhampered by cinches and sta/s, is
the prettiest thing in the show,
Her face, though 'Sis galvanized over with tan,
would quicken the pulse of a god.
The trails of the mountains by heulthxer feet nor
nester ones never were trod.
Her voice is a mixture of music and mirth
bunched up into harmony sweet,
Her laugh fills the ear with a shiver of bli~s that
flashes clear down to the feet,
Her song is as ripples of salver sound that
all the eohee with glee,
It ranges from scream of the eagle clear down to
the buzz of the wandering bee.
A feslina of fear never lodged in her breast, her
ooursg0 is there to remain,
The thought of retreat when a danger xs near
would give her a violent pain,
She handles a rifle with wonderful skill, but bet
your immaeular boot~
There's trouble ahead for the bird or the beast
that gets iu the way when she shootsI
O! she is a daiey grown wild in the hil~, and
fresh as if kissed by the dew
That sparkies as gems in the new morning sun
'neath the borderland heavens so blue,
The neatest and sweetest completest young quail
that ever came out of the nest,
That lively, vivacious and sometimes pugnaoiou~
brave wild mountain girl of the west.

The Burlington route announces a rate
of $36.90, lees than one fare from Pueblo,
Colorado Spring~ and Denver, and Inter-
mediate puints, to Cleyeland, Ohio, and
return. The rate from other points in
Colorado will be one fare added to the
nearest point from which the $36.90 rate
apphes. All agents will be instructed to
sell through tickets on September 7th to
10th inclusive, routed via the Burlington
if so desired by the purchaser. These
tickets will be limited to September 15
with privilege of extension to leave
Cleveland as late as October 8th. No
other line can offer a cheaper rate or bet.
ter service. One can leave Denver on
the Burlington'e famous 0hioago speoial
at ~ p. m. and reach Cleveland the sec-
ond morning at 7.40, the only change of
cars being at Ohioago. This service is
available to every one, whether Pullmaa
berths are desired or not, for the latest
pattern reoliuing chair oars, in whioh
seats are free are carried on this train,
in addition to Pullman sleepers and buf-
fet library observation oar. Meals are
served to all in dining ears on the popu-
lar plan of "pay only for what you get"
whether only 25 cents' worth or more.
These dining ears are not expected to
realize a profit, but are in operation for
the convenienea of the traveling public,
which accounts for the e~oeUence of the
service. No where in the world can one
get so much for so little money.
If you contemplate/t trip to the east
why not join "the old guard"and radiate
from Cleveland to )our further destina-
tion.
The ann~al encampment of the G; A.
R. will soon be a matter of history, and
as this onepromises to eclipse all othe~
iu point of lavish hospitality, it is well
worth a visit. Why not go and take the
Burlington? It costs no more than amy
other line. With reference to berths
and other information, a letter addressed
to Gee. W. Vallery, general agent, Den-
ver, will elioit prompt attention.
The grip, or an influenza conveniently
called by that name, struck New york
horses a few weeks ago and raised a
merry time with them. The disease ie

dence in many places. Down east a
