A MAN WITH MONEY
Hi
we do want him to see what excel-
lent opportunities we can show him
for putting it where it will do the
most good to himself in Erst* class
real estate, which is universally rec-
ognized as offering the best and
safest investment.

two and three story buildings are
torn down and six, eight, ten and
twelve story steel and concrete build
are being erected in tbeir
places. When I Erst came here I
thought that real estate had reached
its limit. Old timers said they
thought that three or four years ago,
but it ia still climbing up. Fourteen
years ago a man bought a lot 100
by 165 feet for $31,coo, recently he
sold it for $650,000. Just think of
that, and the man's wife threatened
to get a divorce it he sold the prop-
erty even at that fabulous sum.
Residence lots three or four miles
from the business center sell at trom
$500 to $4,p;o, and there is no
boom here either, just a steady
growth. If we could have had
these chances in Denison fifteen
years ago we would all be million-
aires by this time. But perhaps it
a good thing that we are not. On
November 22, we had the first rain
of the season and on the nights of
the 23 and 34 a heavy frost, with
plenty of snow on the mountains in
plain view. I like the climate very
much. You can-always sleep under
cover during the summer months,
and during the day from 11 a. m
until 3 p. m. it gets quite warm
But at timea it is very chilly in the
winter months. As wood and coal
are scarce, prices are high. Wood
ia sacked and will sell for about $20
a cord, (acme say $40.) Coal is
| also Dut up in sacks and retails trom
$15 to $30 per ton. The majority
use gas for heating and cooking.

EVOLUTION.
By Langdon Smith.
When you were a tadpole and I waa a fish,
• In the Paleodoic time,
And side by side on the ebbing tide
We sprawled through the oosa and slime,
Or skittered with many a caudil flip
Through the depth of the Cambrian ton,
My heart was rife with the joy ot life,
For I loved you even then.
Mindless we lived and mindless we loved,
And mindlesa at laat we died;
And deep in a rift of a Caradoc drift
We slumbered side by side.
The world turned on in the lathe of time,
The hot lands heaved amain,
Till we caught our breath trom the womb of death,
And crept into light again.
We were Amphibians, scaled and tailed,
And drab as a dead man’s hsnd;
We coiled at esse ’neath the dripping traea,
Or trailed through the mud and sand,
Croaking and blind with our three-clawed teet
Writing a language dumb,
With never a spark in the empty dark
To hint at s life to come.
Yet happy we lived and happy we loved,
And happy we died once more;
Our forms were rolled in the dinging mold
Ot a Neocomain shore.
The eons came, and tbe eons fled,
And tbe sleep that wrapped us fast
Was riven away in s newer day.
And the night of death was past.
Then light and swift through the jungle trees
We swung in our siry flights,
Or breathed in the balms of the tronded palms,
In the hush of the moonless nights.
And oh 1 what beautiful years wers these,
When our hearts clung each to each;
Wnen life was filled, and our senses thrilled
In the first taint dawn of speech.
Thus life by life, and love by love,
We passed through the cycles strange.
And breath by breath, and death by death,
We followed tbe chain ot change.
Tilt there came a time in tbe law of life
When over the nursing sod
Tbe shadows broke and tbe soul awoks
In a strsnge, dim dream ot God.
I was thewed like an Auroch bull.
And tusked like a great Cave Bear;
And you, my sweet, from head to feet.
And tbe moon hung red o’er the river bed,
We mumbled the bones of the slapi-
1 flaked a flint to a cutting edge,
And shaped it with brutish craft;
I broke a shank from the woodland dank,
And fitted it head and halt.
Then I hied me dote to tbe reedy tarn.
Where the Mammoth came to drink;—
Through brawn and bone I drove the atone,
And slew him upon the brink.
Loud I bowled through the moonlit wastes,
Loud answered our kith and km;
From west and east to the crimson feast
The clan came trooping in.
O'er joint and gristle and paded boot,
We fought, and dawad and tore,
And cheek by jowl, with many a growl,
We talked the marvel o’er.
I carved that fight on a reindeer bone,
With rude and hairy hand,
I pictured bis tall on the cavern wall
That mea might understand.
For we lived by blood and tbe righ‘ of might,
Ere human laws were drawn,
And the age of Sin did not begin
Till our brutal tusks were gone.
And that was a million years ago,
In a time that no man knows ;
Yet here to-night in the mellow light,
We sit at Delmonico’s;
Your eyes are deep as the Devon springs,
Your hair is as dark as jet.
Your years are tew, your life is new,
Your soul untried, and yet—
Our trail is on the Kitnmeridge day,
And the scarp ot the Purbeck flags,
We have lett our bones in tbe Bagshot stones,
And deep in the Csraline crags ;
Our love is old, our,lives ere old,
And death shall come amain;
Should it come to-flay, what man may say
We shall not live again?
God wrought our souls from the Tremadoc beds
And furnished them wings to fly ;
He sowed our spawn in the world's dim dawn,
And I know that it shall not die.
Though cities have sprung above tbe graves
Where the crook-boned men made war,
And the ox-wain creeks o’re the buried calves,
\Vh:re the mummied mammotbs are.
Then as we linger at luncheon here,
O'er many a dainty dish,
Let us drink anew fo’the time you
Were a Tadpole and I was a Fish.
He Paid the Charge*'
A guest who had just registered
at a hotel was approached by e boy
with a telegram. It had $1 charges
on it.
“Whatl” said the guest before
opening it. “A dollar chargaal I
won’t pay it. Anybody who cannot
y for bis message when wiring
me is certainlv s cleap one. Wsit
a minute. I’ll just let you report
this uncollected, and the sender may
pay the charges.”
At that he tore the envelope open.
As he read a smile settled on his
face, and, pulling a dollar from his
pocket, be handed it to tbe boy.
‘‘It’s all right,” he said.
Then be threw the message on
tbe counter. “Read it I” he said to
the clerk. Tbe message read:
Papa’s little girl sends bim fifty
bushels of love and wishes ht was
home to kiss her good night.
