A General View of Glenwood 8pringa.
Glenwooi Springs sparkles with social
lights and fairly bristles with tbe in
vigwrating spirit of outdoor sports and
rccveation. Polo, frshing, mountain
climbing, horse-back riding, tennis, ana
numerous other diversions, not to men
tion the many coinpetetive water
sports in the famed hot pool, are in-
dulged in by all, according to the aev-
eral separate ideas of pastime.
President Theodore Roosevelt, who
was a guest at the Hotel Colorado sev-
eral days during his bear hunting trip
in this state, declared that he had not
witnessed such a display of elegantly
gowned women and well-dressed men
at SHaratoga, Newport or other more or
less exclusive resorts than at Glen-
wood'Springs. Classes and masses
are intermingled at the Colorado re
sort.. The millionaire hob-nol)8 with

which penetrates and aoothea tha very

The hot swimming pool haa a capa-
city of 1,000 bathera, and la equipped
with all modern appliances, auch aa
iaddera, a "slippery elide," huge loga
and inflated air bags for novices in
aquatica. From inquiries already re-
ceived the management of the hotel
and hot springs company estimate that
40,000 people will visit Glenwood
Springs during the summer and tall
of 1908, while the Democratic conven-
tion t Denver during July will doubt-
les swell this number 10,000 more. Mr.

▼ate not long ago, after aecuting an
anquallfled statement from an octo-
genarian, who waa bravely enduring
eroaa-examlnatlon, that he "aaw the
whole thing aa If It had oocurred ten
feet away." auddenly challenged him
to tell the time by tbe clock referred1
to. The lawyer did not look around
hlmaeif, aa be had done so about half
an hour before, when he had noticed
that It waa half after 11. The old man
looked at the clock and replied, after
a pause, "Half paat 11," upon which
tbe lawyer, knowing that It must be
nearly 12, turned to the jury and burst
Into a derlalve laugh, exclaiming sar-
castically, "That Is all," and threw him-
aelf back In his seat with an air of
having finally annihilated the entire :
value of the witness' testimony. The I
distinguished practitioner, however,
found himself laughing alone. Prea-
ently one of the jury chuckled, and la
a trice the whole court room was In
a roar at the lawyer's expense. The
clock had stopped—at half-paat 11.—

Female Doctors in Germany.
Professor von Bergmann—the great
German surgeon who attended the Em-
peror Frederick during his last illness
and bad such a frightful quarrel with
Morell Mackenzie--has been telling
the editor of a medical journal that
"I am decidedly against women entert
lng the profession." Briefly put, hla
reason is that "so long as women are
unaMe to beat crooks and tailora at
the vocations which women are apt
to regard as their own specialties, so
long will they be unable to compote
sucaessfully with men doctors. • * •
I have too high a regard for women ta
encourage them to become doctora."

How to Wash Cut Glass.
Never put heavy, elaborately cut
glass into very hot water. The depth
of the cutting makes it dangerous to
expose the glass to sudden expansion
caused by the pMange into the hot wa-
ter. Rinse in tepid water to which
haa been added a little ammonia, and
clean the irregular surfaces with a
soft brush. It also is unsafe to turn
ice into a cut-glaas dish unless it haa
been gradually chilled In the icebox.
Cracked cut glass can frequently
be preserved to a useful old age by
the skillful insertion of a few rivets.
Theae will not be noticeable, and can
be obtained at any crockery store.
Tommy Won.
At a child's party lately one boy
created quite a sensation in his efforts
to outdo the others. They were play-
ing "Button, button, who's got the but-
ton?" and presently, after a very con-
fusing hunt, the mother of the little
hostess said:
"No one seems to have the button.
Now, who had It at the beginning of
tbe game?"
"I did!" exclaimed a little girl.
"To whom did you give It?" asked
tbe lady.
"Tommy Jones, ma'am."
"Tommy, to whom did you give it?"
Silence.
"Speak up, Tommy."
*1—I—swallowed It!" gaaped Tons-
my.
"Mercy!" said the lady, "how big
was it?"
"Well," answered Tommy, "whea

Talking of German opera, the Lon-
don Telegraph relates the story of a
' lady who brought her little son from
tbe country the other day to witness
tbe pantomime at Drury I^ane, and
took bim by. mistake to Covent Garden,
where there was a matinee of "Lohen-
grin." "The opening of the first act." }-
