After leaving Fort Worth, Texas, I went to Colorado Springs, Colorado, on a visit to my friend, John E Ray. The route was through what is known as the Panhandle of Texas, and all day and as late at n'ght as I was awake, we were traveling over prairie land level land, heavy with nature's clothing of grass stretching away on either side as far as the eye could reach, with only now and then a few trees in sight. On these fields grazed the thousands of cattle for which that State is so famous. Passing out of Texas we were in New Mexico, very little of which is attractive to the traveler on the rail road. To see the Dobies, as they are called, in which the Mexicans live, and their surroundings, calls up some of our old geography lessons. These houses are built of mud, which in V4. eAAtinn n 4" i n T r" n 1 1 1 r -i Inn aha lln pitched and usually only one room. Folsom, where we stopped for break' fast is a little town that is just now being boomed as a health resort If the breakfast they furnished, and charged 75 cents for, is a sample of what invalids get to eat, we pity the health seeker that lands in Folsom The Sierra Nevadas and the Spin- ish Peaks all covered with snow were in constant view during the morning as we journeyed on our way. At 3:30 p. m., we reached Man itou Junction, Colorado, where we changed cars for Colorado Springs. Here we found our friend, Mr John E Ray, who came to meet us on the way. It was a hap py meeting. He was not at all well, having been sick for past five weeks with kidney and liver trouble. But he grew better and better while we stayed with him and expects to spend his vacation in North Carolina and at the Buffaloe Lithia Springs of Vir ginia. He has been engaged in plan ning and looking after the erection of a large and splendid new building connected with the Colorado Insti tute for the Mute and Blind of which he is Principal, and is over-worked and needs rest. If there lives a better or truer man or a more enthusiastic worker for whatever he undertakes, we have never known him. We found Mr. Ray's family very well and delightfully situated in the institution. Here. we found rest and comfort and 6lept soundly during the night. Awaking early next morning we looked out of our window to find . the snow falling as briskly as if it was January instead of May. But it did not last long and soon the sky was . clear and the air delightful. Thurs day we spent in riding over the city and in the country around. A more beautiful place or more attractive Bcenery our eyes have never beheld. . Two years and a half ago when Mr. ay reached Colorado Springs it had population of 7,000. Now it has 15, 000, and as it is the acknowledged .for those suffering with .ny lung trouble, people are settling there from every quarter, and ' owners of Jots and real estate dealers are enjoy-! ing a fine harvest. We also met and greatly enjoyed Mr. David C Dudley and family. He looks very well, and has really taken on a new lease of life. He is a teacher of mutes in the institution referred to. Mr F II Manning and J M Brinson, Esq , young gentlemen who graduated from Wake Forest College a few years ago are also there. The first a teach er of blind in the institution, and the last engaged in the practice of law. Both are succeeding well. On Thursday afternoon Mr Ray and I went up to Denver, 75 miles away. Having telegraphed to Mr Robert Wynne, formerly of this city, that we were coming, he met as at the depot, and told us that Mr Hard ing, with whom be boarded, and who was formerly from Washington, N C, desired that we should stop with him while in the city. We did so and were entertained in royal NorthCaro Iina style. There we met Mr Logan Terrell, another younij Raleigh gen tleman. Messrs Wynne and Terrell arrived in Denver about the middle of last December and are now in good positions and well pleased with their Western home, Next morning we met Charlie Ward another Raleighite. He went to Den ver five years ago and is now the pro prietor of a well stocked Pharmacy of his own. After looking into a few of the business houses of Denver we were taken iu charge by Messrs Ward, Terrell and Wynne and given a ride of about five hours over and about this wonderful city of the west. Space will not permit my telling the many interesting places shown us and of the marvelous recitals of rapid strides made by individuals and com panies. In our rounds over the city we call ed on Mr Richard Battle and wife formerly Miss Belle Wingate. Mr B was for a long time the popular cor respondent of the News and Observer of this city. He is now the represen tative for the west of the cigarette combination with headquarters at Denver. H e is well posted in matters generally in the west and can enter tain you by the hour on that line. Mr Battle and his charming lady gave us a joyous greeting, and inquired after their many friends and kins people here. At 3:30 p m we bid good bye to the North Carolina Denverians and took the Sante Fe cars for Colorado Springs. Another article must tell fuither of our trip. He Tried to Lift 2,000 Pounds. Toledo Blade. There were probably a hundred peo pie in the old Island House Depot in Toledo, when a tall, thin man, who might have been 40 years old and did not look to weigh over 90 pounds, who had a rope harness on him, pass ed around the waiting room and said : I am going to give an exhibition of strength outside the building, and shall expect the small sum of a dime from each looker on. I am going to attempt to raise a dead weight of two tons." All the men and quite a number of the women went out, and enough townspeople came down to make a crowd of 300. The thin man passed around through the crowd and took up a collection, and he must have got an average of ten cents for every one present. When he had pocketed the money he approached several large grindstones lying in a heap and chained together, and announced: Ladies and Gentlemen I thank you kindly for your contributions. Here is a dead weight of 2,000. I shall attempt to lift it." . An iron hook in the harness was hooked into the chain shackling of the grindstones, and the thin man began to straighten up. He was encourag ed and applauded by the crowd, but the strain he put out would not have raised fifty pounds. He kept at it three or four minutes, and then unhooked and backed off, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's no use; I can't do it. I have failed." See here this looks like a fraud?" exclaimed a man who had chipped in a quarter. Oh, don't say that 1" sorrowfully re plied the thin man. "You all saw me try." . , But you'iled us to believe yon could lift 2,000 poiinds." "Well," I was in hopes I could. I really wish I could, but I don't be live I ever can." "Thats pretty thiu!" growled red whiskers, "and I'm a good mind to give you a taste of my boot !" "Oh, pi en se don't 1 I tried my best. and when a man has done his best such talk hurts his feelings. You don't know how badly I want to lift 2,000 pounds " . "I believe you are a fakir." "A fakir ! Hear him, ladies it nd gen tlemen ! Because am not ns strong as a dray horse he calls me a fakir I This is too much too much 1 I am used to adversity, but this breaks me !" And he sat down on the 2,000 pounds of cold griudstonrs and wept like a child wept until the crowd scattered and he could get away with his $30 without being kicked Standard---Flavoring RACtS HOUSEKEEPERS can prove by a single Irial that these Extracts are the cheapest; pey are true to their names, full measure ind highly concentrated.
