24 HUMOR AND THE HUMORIST. DENVER POSTSCRIPTS. James Barton Adams, of the Denver "Post," has long been known as the "cow-boy poet." His acquaintance with cow-boys, cow-girls, Indians, Mexicans, the prairies and the Rockies is entirely real, not ideal. His fund of knowledge and his ability to express it in verse is unlimited, and many of his nature's sermons will outlive him. His daily double column of humor relates to current topics, but nearly always the column is started by a poem which perpetuates life on the plains, as in this: AU-GU-RI-TA'S VENTURE. In the eyes of Au-gu-ri-ta, Hard the breath came from the breathworks, Of the hidden Indian maiden, And into the eyes referred to Came a look you might interpret As of grim determination, Backed by nerve and gall commingled That would beat the Banda Rossa, As, like serpent more than human, Crawled she through the shelt'ring bushes Closer, closer to her victim She who sat upon the boulder Picking sand-burrs from her stockings, Little dreaming of the presence, Or immediate adjacence, In the lustrous eyes we've mentioned. How often prejudice cheats us out of the rights of reason, investigation and justice! SOME men's definition of friendship consists merely of a tool with which imposition can be safely practiced. Ir is easier to forgive a pretty woman for doing wrong than to reconcile one's self to an ugly one for being so. THE humanity of a lie is most ably illustrated when used as a substitute for a painful truth. Ir requires extraordinary and unconscious ability to accept good advice gracefully and utilize it without prejudice. SENTIMENT Softens some natures, hurts others, and causes doubt to exist in the hearts of all. ONE form of genius is that creative talent which finds upon the shore of thought two ideas where only one lived before. MANY apparent virtues are but vices masked by the motives that produced them. EVERY man of individual thought and expression must be prepared to receive the scorn that comes with the curse of egotism. THE ordinary ways of friendship too often lie only in the lighted places of the lives of those for whom it is expressed. PLAY the manly role in all emergencies of life, even if you do not feel the part. OUR value in any cause is lost as soon as an earnest interest and enthusiasm is absent from it. A MAN always loses respect for himself before others suspect his lack of worth or integrity. SOMETIMES the hearts of children in the breasts of men lead great minds into the paths of simplicity and peace, and point out purer, better ways of life than they have ever known. In order to spare ourselves humiliation, it is best to restrict ambition within the circle of our conscious strength. WHEN a woman loses a man's affection on account of having misplaced it, she generally looks in the wrong direction to recover it. MEN who permit their sentimental sensibility to control them in the garden of love should for their own happiness content themselves with the flower of friendship. LET all your manly sympathies out to the simple, unconscious fool who revels in the knowledge that he does not possess. THE world is often old and senile in its reason when young inquiring minds dare to ask a question. SELF reliance is not conceit, but its surface appearance is closely related to it.
