My Dear Mother and Sister:--- I will try and tell you where I have been and what I am doing. I began work for The F. C. Austin Manufactur­ ing Oo.' June 1, and have since been em ployed selling well machinery. Have been in the following cittcn: Milwaukee, Wis.; St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn.; Aberdeen and Faulkton, S. D.; ] City, Mo.; Topeka and Elderado, Kas.; Denver, Pueblo, Pagosa Springs and Colorado Springs, where I am today. This is a wonderful town of about four or five thousand inhabitant I should judge. Pikes Peak is just wis of the town with its snow covered summit, a striking contrast with 98 in the shade in the town. I was up on the Peak a few days ago. The scenery can not be des­ cribed, one must see it to appreciate it Looking down to the south-west you overlook that wonderful mining town of Cripple Creek; to the north-east Denver is in view, a distance of ninety miles, but the air is so clear one can see very plainly without the aid of a glass. In going up we started at a small town about seven miles from Colorado Springs, reached by electric cars. From here runs the famous cog road to the sum­ mit, a distance of nine miles, and some of^the way we are making a 40 per cent, grade, that is, we raise forty feet in go­ ing 100 feet. There are a great many people who can't go up on account of the altitude. You see it# is very high, being 14,147 feet above sea level. They are affected in different ways; some bleed at the nose, others at the ears, and all are more or less nervous. The least exertion would make me tremble so that I would have to stop and rest. It is certainly a wonderful sight, and well worth the price of transportation which is five dollars. * * My business here is to sell deep well machinery for drill­ ing wells for oiL I have sold in the last month $6000.00 worth and have traveled 8206 miles. I rather enjoy the work but sometimes wish I was in business for myself again. Although I am get­ ting $100 per month and all expenses paid, it is small compared with what some get. By the way, I saw Mr. and Mrs. J. W. G-rimoldby and Miss Winnie last Sunday. They have bought lots at the corner of Yama and Wasach streets and are building themselves a home. Mr. Griinoldby's health is not good, but expects to improve in this climate. 1 have made the acquaintance of several wealthy people since coming here and am thinking of investing in oil land, for I think there is better prospects for oil or gas here than any country I ever r. * * Denver is quite a nice city and is kept very clean. Chicago would do well to pattern after it. I went through the capitol building while there , very magnificent building. The main floor is just one mile above sea level As to Pueblo, I can't say much in favor of it, I was there three days, changed hotels three times and got a worse one each time. They get their water supply from the Arkansas river which is always muddy. Gambling houses run wide open and on the whole think it the toughest and dirtiest town I was ever in. * * Give my best regards to all my friends. Your son and brother, G. H. SPAULDING.

THE DRUMHEAD BUSINESS. a Bag* liong hlsad Industry WMeli Prospers by War. Few people know that more than half the banjo and drum heads sold in the United States are made on Long Is­ land. Near the railroad station at Cold Spring is a little red building sur­ rounded by frames, in which skins are stretched for drying, while near by is an artificial pond, with wooden sides and bottom, filled with a chemical mix­ ture. It Is an unpretentious establish­ ment, but in our two wars and in the peace between it has fathered a great deal of noise. The business was estab­ lished in 1860, and success was almost Immediate. Competition was strong after the rush of war orders was over, but the business has advanced in im­ portance until now there are but three factories in this country whose opposi­ tion can be felt. Two of these are in Brooklyn and the other at High View, N. Y. New York markets furnish the salt­ ed raw skins from which the drum­ heads are made. The hair is removed from the skins by a chemical bath in the artificial pond, and the skins are then stretched on the racks and dried. A thorough scraping removes any par­ ticles of fat or flesh that may have adhered to the dried skin, which is then the thickness of parchment. The skins are thoroughly bleached In ttye drying process and are then ready for cutting into heads. During the Span­ ish-American war the factory was fair­ ly swamped with orders for drum­ heads, 500 dozen heads often being or­ dered at one time. The principal de­ mand was for the "tenor" drum, on which a loud accompaniment to the fife or bass instrument can be pro­ duced. Kangaroo skins make the costliest drumheads. When dressed, they are showy, but beyond their appearance and name they are of no greater value than heads made from calfskin. Sheep­ skin is used for cheap toy drums.--New York Post QUAINT COLONIAL NAMES. How the Offspring: of Oar Ftrst Cslo* slats Were Christened. It is an interesting study to trace the underlying reason for many of the cu­ rious names which are given to the off­ spring of the first colonists. Parents searched for names of deep signifi­ cance--for names appropriate to con­ ditions, for those of profound influ­ ence presumably on the child's life. The Rev. Richard Buck, one of the early parsons in Virginia, in days of deep depression^ named his first child Mara. This text indicates the reasen for his choice: "Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord has brought me home empty." His second child was christened Gershom -- for Moses' wife "bare him a son and called his name Gershom, for he said I have been in a strange land." Many names have a pathos and sad­ ness which can be felt down through the centuries. Dame Dlnely, widow of a doctor, or barber surgeon, who had died in the snow while striving to visit a distant patient, named her poor babe Fathergone. The children of Roger Clapp were named Experience, Waitstlll, Preserv­ ed, Hopestlll, Walt, Thanks, Decide, Unite and Supply. Madam Austin, an early settler of old Narragansett, had 15 children. Their names were Parvis, Picus, Plersus, Prlsemus, Polyblus, Lois, Lettice, Avis, Anstlce, Eunice, Mary, John, Elizabeth, Ruth, Freelove. All lived to be threescore and ten, one to be 102 years old. Edward Bendall's children were named Truegrace, Re­ form, Hoped For, More Mercy and Re­ store. Richard Gridley's offspring were Return, Believe and Tremble.--- "Child Life In Colonial Days.** French Baiters. Bakers In France are subject to re­ strictions and regulations undreamed of In England. In the fortified towns along the frontier they are bound by law to have a certain stock of flour al­ ways on hand in case of emergencies. The bakery not only has to be kept clean, but the baker has to deposit with the local authorities a certain sum of money as a surety for the prop­ er conduct of his business. The law also looks after his weights and measures, which circumstance places him in the same position as the British baker, but in addition the law regulates the price at which bread can be sold. Napoleon III ordered on one occasion that a loaf about equal to our quartern should be sold for not more than six­ pence, and this at a time when we were paying eightpence and ninepence. --London Tit-Bits.
