of entertainment afforded by the circus
must have been rudely awakened from their
delusion on Friday, especially If they at
tended the evening performance, for net Icjg
than n dozen parties of the very smartest
were scattered through tho big tent nnd the
way In which some of them ndjusted them
nclves to tho benches Indicated that It was
not their first experience.
Tho parade In the mornlnK nlso received
a nbcral sharo of their attention and oc

To llntore Youth.
To mako the old young again has been
tho scientific problem of the centuries. In
splto of evorythlug nervous nnd muscular
tlssuo wjll wear out. Tho nearest ap
proach to bucccss Is the Renstrom bath,
massage nnd electric treatment. By this
most agreeable method vigor Is restored to
tho muscles, and quiet to the nerves. Re
freshing sleep Is Induced and a healthy ap
petite restored. Ono thing aids the other
nnd tho bulldlng-up process Is natural and
gradual. Youth cannot bo restored, but
ovcry woman, nt least, can enjoy a halo
nnd hearty old age, for tho Bathory, 216

Tho Renstrom bath treatment is not a
euro all. All that is claimed for It In what
ever Is beneficial In thermal and electric
baths and massage accompaniment scientifi
cally ndmlnlsterod. Thcro is nothing so
good In convalescence, or in cases whero a
woman Is physically or nervously run down
for rheumatism or muscular troubles nnd
In a number of organic and functional cases.
Tho preference Is to glvo theso treatments

Ono might think thnt when n man made a

Many a deserted prospect today may be

Since there hnvo been state mining Inspec
tors less accidents hnvo occurred on ac
count of moro scientific methods. In four
yenrs In thirty mines nround Aspen. Includ
ing leasers, only twenty to thirty were
killed, three-quarters of whom wero among
tho leasers on account of their economy tn
fuse nnd timber supports. If company rules
wero lived up to but few accldonts would
occur. As railroads aro extended and
cheaper methods of concentration discov
ered hundreds of low-grade mines will be
worked with profit. Mnny will make for
tunes by holding on to low-grndo propor
tions. Tho mountains around Aspen are n
sportsman's paradise, tho finest of fishing
In otrenms nnd lakes, nut tho true sports
man must, not grumblo If In places ho hns
to crawl over fallen timber ten feet high,
Two men lu nine hours caught 471 rain
bow trotit, ranging from six to twenty
Inches. This probably wns beforo the new
game law passed limiting the number to
bo caught. There Is nlso the finest of
grouse, elk, deer and bear hunting.
Aspen Is not llko an ordinary mining
camp, except It were for tho mines nnd
mills on tho mountainside. Ilenutlful
shade trees, lawns nnd pure mountain
streams line tho streets nnd It has many
lino residences, some costing $43,000. One
Is astonished to find nt n lnborlng mlner'u

pets, fine library, mineral cabinet, silver

that would delight even nn epicure. Hut
this Is ono of thoso men who Invest money
whero It brings tho best results. This
nnd many llko Instances mnke ono believe
thnt Americans nre the best paid nnd
best fed people In tho world. Somo days
one can see trains of burros nnd pros
pectors going out Into the mountains. You
mny talk of your knight errant of tho
mlddlo nges, but he Is not In It with tho
steady, patient courage of the mining
prospector, who, year after year, explores
tho wilderness, enduring all kinds of hard
ship In opening up to the world Its mineral
wealth.
In Colorado (If ono has the means), at
Us summer resorts, you can 800 and ejoy
