WASHINGTON BASED ON OBSERVATIONS AbROAD. VOL. XVII. The Ma thes LIFE AND LABOR ON THE ARTICLE WRITTEN BY BASED ON OBSER One clear, cold morning, about the first of September, I took a train at Bonar Bridge, in the north of Scotland, southwest bound. There was a cold wind blowing, and Bonar Bridge is about the latitude, as I learned from looking at my atlas, of northern Labrador—farther north, in fact, than I had ever my lifetime dreamed of going. I spent the next four or five hours looking out of a car window across the bleak, brown moors, studying the flocks of sheep and the little thatch-roofed cottages clinging to the lonesome hillsides. Three days later I was in the beautiful mountain region below Dresden, on my way to Piague, the capital of Bohemia. In many ways conditions in the farming regions of Bohemia are quite as primitive ar they are among the crofters of northern Scotland. There are, for example, a larger number of small farmers owning their own land in Bohemia than there are in Scotland, but the Scottish brofter, although he remains a tenant on a small estate, has, at the present time, a more secure position on the soil than the man who rents his land in Bohemia. In other respects the Scotch Highlanders, whose country I had just left, and the Czechs, whose country I was just entering, are, I should say, about as different as one could well imagine. Among other things I noticed that the farming people in this part of the world do not live apart, scattered about in the open country, as they do in Scotland, and as in the case everywhere in America. On the contrary, the Bohemian farmers live huddled together in little villages, in the center of the surrounding fields, from which they go out to their work in the morning and to which they return in the evening. These different manners of settling on the soil are one of the marks by which the people in the north of Europe are distinguished from those in the South. The northern people settle in widely scattered homesteads, while the southern people invariably herd together in little villages, and each individual becomes, to a great extent, dependent upon the community and loses himself in the life about him. This accounts, in large measure, for the difference --- in character of the northern and southern people. In the north the people are more independent; in the south they are more social. The northern people have more initiative; they are natural pioneers. The southern people are more docile, and get better under the restraints and restrictions of city life. It is said, also, that this explains why it is that the people who are now coming to America from the south of Europe although most of them come from the land, do not go out into the country districts in America, but prefer to live in the cities, or, as seems to be the case with the Italians, colonize the suburbs of the great cities. Another great thing that interested me was the sight of women working on the land, I had not gone far on my way south from Berlin before my attention was attracted by the number of women in the fields. As I proceeded southward, the number of these women laborers steadily increased until they equaled and even out numbered the men. One of these I had an opportunity to see close at hand; she was coarsely clad, barefoot, and carried a rake over her shoulder. I had seen pictures of something like that before, but never the real thing. Outside of Italy I have rarely seen men going barefoot either in the country or in the city, but in southern Europe it seems to be the custom among the working women and I took it as an indication of the lower position which women occupy among the people of southern Europe as compared with the position that they occupy in America. I saw many barefoot women later in the course of my journey, both in the field and elsewhere. I confess, however, I was surprised to meet in Vienna, Austria, as I did on several occasions while I was there, women walking barefoot on the pavements in one of the most fashionable streets of the city. One day, in speaking to a native Austrian, I expressed my surprise at what I had seen. "Oh, well," he replied, "they are Slovaks." How vividly this reminded me of a parallel remark with which I was familiar, 'Oh, well, they are Negroes!" DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 3 1911. State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO It was the tone of this reply that caught my attention. It emphasized what I soon discovered to be another distinguishing feature of life in southern Europe. Everywhere I went in Austria and Hungary I found the people divided according to the race to which they belonged. There was one race at the top, another at the bottom, and then there were perhaps two or three other races which occupied positions relatively higher or lower in between. In most cases it was some section of the Slavic race, of which there are some five or six different branches in the Austrian Empire, which was at the bottom. Several times, in my efforts to find out something about these so-called "inferior people", I made inquiries about them among their more successful neighbors. In almost every case, no matter what race it happened to be to which I referred I received the same answer. I was told that they were lazy and would not work; thai they had no initiative; that they were immoral and not fitted for to govern themselves. At the same time I found them doing nearly all the really hard, disagreeable, and ill-paid labor that was being done. Usually I found, also, that, with fewer opportunities than the people around them, they were making progress. I was frequently surprised at the bitterness between the races. I have heard people talk more violently, but I do not think I have heard any one say anything worse in regard to the Negro than some of the stotements that are made by members of one race in Austria in regard to members of some other. I reached the city of Prague late at night, and woke next morning in a world that was utterly new to me. It was not that Prague looked so different from other European cities I had seen, but the language sounded more strange than anything else I had ever seen, but I do not pretend to understand German, yet it seemed to me that there was something familiar and friendly about that language as compared with Czech. The Czech are but one of the seventeen races of Austria-Hungary, each one of which, with the exception of the Jews, who are an exception to everything, is seeking to preserve its own language, and, if possible, compel all its neighbors to learn it. Preserving its own language is not difficult in the country districts, where each race lives apart in its own districts, where each race lives apart in its own village and maintains its own peculiar customs and traditions. It is more difficult in the large cities, Vienna and Budapest, where the different nationalities come in intimate contact with each other and with the larger European world. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

To finish the building as it is planned at present will cost $20,000, and it is one half of this cost which has been tendered by Mr. Carnegie on the contingency that those interested raise the remaining $10,000.

It takes 42 men to do it daily. If any mischievous stranger should seek entrance, he would not get far. Twenty-four men guard the outside of the building and 18 the inside. Eight are in the executive offices. Fourteen guard the White House within and without at night. The number of men enumerated does not include the secret service men who guard the person of the president and who are sometimes in service to guard the members of the president's family. Every door in the White House has its policeman constantly on guard. There are always two in the basement of the executive offices, where there is a large door leading from the street for the reception of supplies. There is always a policeman at the kitchen entrance. Two men in livery, not policemen, guard the main entrance into the White House at the north portico. In the daytime there is a policeman in the east room and one each at both stairways that lead THE exact chance of any one person having a bad piece of money is hard to determine, for the reason that no one, not even the secret service, knows at any one time just how much counterfeit currency is in circulation. But from years of experience the government agents at Washington have figured out that in paper money the proportion of bad to good is about $1 to $100,000, and in coin somewhere between $2 and $3 to $100,000. The larger the coin or bill to be counterfeited the greater the danger of detection and need of a more expensive plant. The commonest way of making spurious money is the turning out of base metal coins—but the operation is expensive. Silver, for instance, cannot be successfully cast. Base coins with silver in them must therefore be struck off in a steel die—a die representing days of work on the part of an expert engraver. Then there must be a powerful press to make the impressions. In the counterfeiting of paper money there are three methods used, copying by hand, photographie reproduction, and the raising of genuine bills from lower to higher denominations.

Bliss of Sheridan, Wyo., who has just applied for a pension on the grounds that, dressed as a man, she served four years in the federal army as a member of Company G. Sixty-third infantry, from Illinois, from 1861 to 1865. Mrs. Bliss is now an old woman, with white hair and wrinkled face, and is almost destitute. In one cheek she bears the scar left by a bullet fired at Vicksburg; a long gash across the upper left arm is a memento of Corinth and a Confederate saber. According to the story told by Mrs. Bliss to the pension agent, and sworn to by her, she was living in Illinois at Jonesboro, when the war broke out. She was enthusiastic and WAR on the mosquito, as well as on the house fly has been declared by the department of agriculture. As a disseminator of disease the mosquito is branded as being as great a menace to humanity as the fly. L O. Howard, chief of the bureau of entomology, has issued a bulletin on the protection of communities from mosquitoes. He lays stress on the necessity of abolishing breeding places of the insect pest. "Where the rain barrel and rain water tank are necessary they should be screened. The waste places in the immediate vicinity of a house should be carefully searched for tin cans, bottles and wooden or tin boxes in which water can accumulate, and all such receptacles should be destroyed or carried away. The roof gutters should be carefully examined to make sure that they are not clogged so as to allow the water to accumulate. "The chicken pans in the poultry yard, the water in the troughs for domestic animals, the water cup of the grindstone are all places in which Is Closely Guarded to the private apartments of the president and his family on the upper floor. There is a policeman always in the basement, the entrance to which is from the east wing of the mansion. At night a policeman guards the basement corridor of the interior, another the corridor of the main floor and another the corridor of the upper private floor. Outside there is constant vigilance in front and in the rear, if the White House may be conceived as having any rear. The south front is as beautiful as the north front and indeed more so. That the White House should have to be thus carefully guarded may seem strange to Americans whose chief executive is after all only a democrat who is a citizen temporarily, holding a high public office. But it is necessary. Three Presidents have been assassinated, although none ever at the White House. It would seem none ever could be because of the vigilance kept there. But a fierce light plays upon the White House and the occupants of it, especially the president. It attracts all kinds of people, and cranks are ever dangerous. Many is the one apprehended before he has gone far. And in this land of liberty there are also other people who have dangerous ideas centering on the life of the chief magistrate. HA, HA! IVE DISCOVERED A COUNTERFEIT BILL -THEY CAN'T FOOL ME change one bill. Flives raised to tens are the most frequent offenders of this sort. The workman thus makes $5. And yet in spite of all care and all precautions, counterfelters are eventually run to earth. Why? Three reasons: Bank, secret service and system. In the long run most money in circulation comes into the hands of some bank. And there the counterfeit, good or bad, eventually meets its downfall. Tellers and cashiers handle so much currency that they seem to be gifted with second sight. If he cannot tell at first glance whether the money is bad, he consults two monthly counterfeiting magazines and usually finds what he is after. The magazine people co-operate with the secret service. And the next teller or cashier who gets the mate of the note knows right off what the counterfeit is. patriotic and wanted to join the army, but of course could not do so in skirts. So she cut off her hair, obtained a suit of men's clothing and applied for enlistment. In the excitement and hurry of the early days of enlistment, when there were thousands of applicants, the disguised girl was passed and found herself a member of Col. McCowan's regiment, the Sixty-third infantry. She was assigned to Company G under Captain Richardson. After drilling and being otherwise "whipped" into line, the Sixty-third started south, and with it went the girl soldier. For four years she stood the strain of army and camp life, taking her "medicine" as it came to her, and in all ways being treated as were the other soldiers of the regiment. Just before the war ended the true sex of the young soldier became known to a comrade, and immediately after being mustered out of the service because of the termination of hostilities, she married John Sibler, who had served in the same company and regiment with her throughout the war. these pests of mosquitoes will breed. "In slightly marshy ground a favorite breeding place is the footprints of cattle and horses. In one country village, which contains many small vegetable gardens in clay soil, during a rainy season mosquitoes were found breeding abundantly in the water accumulating in the furrows. "Even in the house these mosquitoes breed in many places. Where the water in flower vases is not frequently changed mosquitoes will breed. They will breed in water pitchers in unused guest rooms. Public dumps are great breeding places, because here accumulate old bottles, cans, boxes, bits of tin or iron vessels and other objects in which water may accumulate for a time." An Even Game (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) Mary, like the other flowers, was out in the early morning exploring the greenness of the grounds of her friend's house. She had come the evening before and was new to the surroundings. At a turn in a winding path she met a fair-headed young man in white flannels, who could not remove his hat because he wore none, but who bowed charmingly. She answered in kind, looking at him gravelly. "I know you are Miss Mary Sumner," he said. "And I know you are Frederick Denton!" She held out a pretty hand, which he took while he murmured how glad he was, but she interrupted: "But you aren't glad, you know! You expect to be bored beyond measure—and you didn't want to come because you knew I was to be here, but you couldn't refuse your sister's party! Am I not right?" Her charming dark face was flushed and sparkling, and she seemed to speak in a hurried, soft breath. He all but stared. "What makes you say that? Won't you tell me?" "Play fair!" she begged. "You know perfectly well what our families are up to—don't you?" It was his turn to flush, but he laughed. "I wish they had minded their business, but you are right. Of course we are expected dutifully to—fall in love. Of course I don't have to! It's all over—the first glance did it. Now if you could—" "Don't be polite," she laughed, her brown eyes mocking him. "It's horrid to be planned for. Let's make them suffer. We both have spirit enough not to be captured by the machinations of my mother and your sister. I'm glad you're—really so—nice. You might not have been—charming. You've been talked into my ears until I nearly hated you—and I knew you must have felt the same about me." "I never doubted that you were all they said," he admitted, "only as you say—let's make them uncomfortable. But let's be good friends in secret. Will you?" She nodded, and they sat down upon a rustic seat to talk it over gally, while birds sang and the fulness of late May bloomed about them. "Let's be stiff and distant, and almost rude and indifferent before the others." "And get up early every morning like this—and talk it over. Will you?" He held out a brown hand and she laid a white, slim one in its clasp a moment. He gave her hand another little clasp and let it go. "She rose and prepared to go. He noticed how tall and graceful, how very lovely and dignified was her bearing. "Remember," she reminded, "that we have not met. We must not be seen together—you might come in a little late to breakfast. I'll be stiff." "And I'll be cool enough to blight every rose on the place!" He watched her go away, and almost wished that Alice Shaw had not made love a thing far from him, and left a raw wound hard to heal. When Denton appeared where the others were all seated at the informal breakfast, Mrs. Rawson introduced him to Mary—he knew all the others—and she looked at him. an instant, gave a polite, distant little bow, and went on with her talking to Mamie Rosseter. Denton, on his part, had been formally courteous. Neither had said one friendly word, though their families had for ten years beeh most intimate. The hostess was astonished beyond measure, but too clever to show a sign. But what did they mean? She watched them all day when they were within range. Neither went near the other voluntarily, and if any chance brought them together, they passed a few most formal remarks. She tried seating them next each other at dinner—each talked to the neighbor on the other side. This went on for nearly a week, and the good lady was in despair. Finally she spoke to her brother about it. "I don't know what you mean, Mattle. I'm never discourteous to a lady. Do you want me to gush? What, in short, do you want?" She was slammed and made haste to retreat, inwardly discomfited. "I didn't mean you were rude, only I depended on you to help amuse her—she's the only strait." Of course you're never rude—I just thought as her family and ours are so intimate, we ought to be unusually nice to her!" "Well, I think you're mistaken—she seems vastly amused—always in the thick of things. By the way, where does Molly Fairly keep herself mornings? Hasn't she grown stunning? She was an ugly enough little girl—I like her quiet manner, don't you?" Mrs. Rawson defently got away from the subject. Could Fred take a fancy to Molly? She was dangerously attractive and poor, but had been asked because of the hostess' obligations to the girl's mother. Later in the day, Mrs. Dawson wrote Mrs. Sumner, among other things, the following maint: "—My dear, they simply don't see each other! Have we managed to overdo things? Mary never looked more utterly charming, but she's ice, and I could shake Fred--he doesn't She shook her head. make the first effort to be more than vaguely polite. I've thought I caught one or two knowing looks pass between them, but I must have imagined it. I ought to tell you that Mary is flirting in a refined but constant way with Percy Kaylor—I wish I hadn't asked him. And Fred does nothing but moon and watch the mail bag. He gets a daily letter addressed in a woman's hand from Kenosha, some western place. What shall I do? And—I don't want to tell you this, but it's my duty—the other night when Edith was in Mary's room and they were chatting and hair-brushing, Edith saw that Mary had a slender chain around her neck with a solitaire ring hanging from it. She seemed unaware that Edith had seen it. Of course Edith told me—she's a dear child—and I bade her say nothing to anyone else. Supposing you come on for a few days? I told Mary I should ask you. Mrs. Sumner came on with exceeding dispatch. She dared not question her daughter, but could discover no chain, no ring, and no change in the girl, save that, if anything, she was prettier, sweeter, more dutiful. She had even taken to rising early for the walks her mother had so long wished her to take, and came to breakfast glowing and happy. Meantime, in the morning's dewy freshnes, Mary and Frederick Denton were having beautiful meetings. He told her how he had a man friend out west send him a letter addressed by a stenographer on lady-like envelopes filled with circulars. She gleefully told him about the $5 fake diamond, and how Edith's eyes had bulged while she, Mary, brushed her hair and looked innocent. They walked into the country, they went on the river in a little canoe, they read magazines, and always they escaped being caught together, and approached breakfast from different directions, Frederick usually from his room as if he had just risen. But a time came when, without either knowing why, a sort of restraint fell upon them. The young man redoubled his efforts to be interesting, wondering meanwhile if she were not tiring of his company. One morning she was late, another, too tired to walk, a little languid and silent. A few happy mornings would ensue, and then the constraint again. He thought of asking if he were demanding too much of her, but feared she would think he were tired of it himself. It became uncomfortable, and both were less frank. But, in public, they were still just on the polite side of being disagreeable to each other. Mary's mother casually asked her why she disliked Fred Denton. The girl looked at her, wide-eyed. "Whatever put that into, your dear head? He seems very nice, I'm sure." And she put another pin into her soft brown hair and went downstairs. Coming down to the porch a little later her mother found her in a gale of merriment over something Percy Kaylor was saying. And, with a queer look in his eyes, Frederick Denton watched her. What did the look mean? And Mary's gayey seemed somehow not quite spontaneous. A few mornings later Mary did not go into the garden at all, and said at breakfast that she had a headache. She was pale. All day Frederick watched for her, but had only a word alone. "I'm sorry you were not well," he said. "It was nothing—it soon passed," she answered. "I missed you," he said, but she was ready moving away from him. He went angrily away by himself, and with his pipe in his mouth he lay flat on the grass in a distant spot and discovered what alled him. Of course he had loved her from the first moment, and had been a fool, and had lost her! He should have openly wooed her from the first second—of course it was Kaylor! Men like that always fascinate a girl just out of school! He hated himself vigorously. Frederick was up at dawn the next day, and out with a last hope. Surely she would come this last time! He waited in the usual place, but she did not appear. It seemed impossible. He searched his memory for any word or look that might have offended her. And, looking vaguely about, he saw at some distance beneath the trees of a little wood, a gleam of blue dress. In an instant he was almost running towards it. It must be she—it was! But she was walking swiftly away from him. He called to her, and she stopped. "I don't blame you for hating me," he gravely said, "but why hurt me more than you must? You know I love you—Mary. Why can't you at least be kind—as you were until a little while ago? Does it amuse you to—hurt?" Then he saw that tears were running down her cheeks, and that she held out both hands to him. she held After a long time he held her off the she her better to see her: "I—couldn't come any more—I couldn't bear it after I—found that I did—care—and thought you still wanted Alice Shaw! I couldn't trust myself not to let you see—how I felt!" He stopped her in the most effective way in the world—it is impossible to explain during a kiss, which also does away with oceans of explaining!

ONCE upon a time Ulysses, son of Abraham, Republican, liberator, martyr, made love to Elba, daughter of Ethiopia, dwelling in Vespucchi, the Land of the Free, and Elba, afterward called the Colored American, surprised, be wildered, charmed, returned that that love with the undying ardor of her trusting, grateful, tropical nature. She was not versed in the ways of love; she only knew that a strange, wild passion was absorbing her being under the influence of the sweet, honied words which the tender wooer was whispering in her ear; and that they were arousing in her heart an unquenchable desire for the full realization of the things of which he told her, and to serve him, as her new lord and master, forever and ever. For he told her that she was free, when she knew that, before his coming, she had been a slave to Mammon. He told her that she was beautiful, when, before, she had been but an ugly, imitation of the beautiful beings of earth. He told her that she was a true daughter of the land, when, before, she knew that she had been but a drudging vassal. He told her that he loved her, and that through his conquoring might, he would bring her to the full enjoyment of her rightful inheritance. And so her love for him knew no bounds. She swore everlasting allegiance to him and his fortunes, and to his country and its destiny, for good or ill. The years wore on, and though troubles harrassed them, they were very happy. He, because she was blindly faithful and tireless in her service. She, because new realizations of the beauties of life were slowly opened to her, and new and grander and brighter promises were ever on her lover's lips. True, the binding ceremony that was to unite them beyond severance was never consumated, but he fought her battles and laid his heart at her feet; and why should she haste or fear or care? But "the course of true love never did run smooth." His o wn brothers grew bitterly opposed to the courtship, and when the javelins of wrath had no effect upon him, they beset him unceasingly with the merciless shafts of ridicule. They said to him: "She is black! See how fair of skin are you. She is dumb of intellect and groping! See how clear of brain and refined of manner are you." He replied: "Her color does not matter, and I will teach her what she has need to know." Then they said: "She is not human. She was made to drudge and serve us. Would you sacrifice the love of your family—your brothers and sisters of untarnished blood—for this mongrel?" He replied: "She may be all that we are." Then they said: "Think of the offspring of such an unholy union and of our everlasting shame!" Then he began to grow thoughtful and cold, thought, at first, he did not cease to convey his written protestations of affection nor alter the volume or fervor of his promises. But blighted love is never restored, though deceit and simulation often become its substitutes. Now Ulysses courts Elba only on paper or by unofficial proxy, while she, still true to her first and only love, yet trusts and hopes and waits for the return of her wayward swain. Now, with most lovers this would be considered a case of breach of promise, while some would doubtless seek the service of the desertion court under the rules of the common law. But Elba is appealing for the return of her lover. Throughout all the land is heard the sound of her wailing. For she is sad; very sad. "Ye told me that I was free," she says, "and they are binding my chains again upon me. Ye told me that I was lovely and fashioned for things high and glorious, and they are again debasing me and reviling my name." "Am I less worthy of your strong support than when you taught me to know the value of liberty? Am I less worthy of your love than when I knew nothing of the glories of life? Oh, Ulysses, Republican, emancipator, protector, tutor, benefactor, who taught me to love and to hope and to aspire, remember the days of our wooing! Despise not the word that brought light and truth. Forsake not the way that added to thy glory. The love of Elba is a raging flame that knows no cooling; a seething flood that brooks no straint; a mounting passion that seeks no satiating but in fulfilled promise or slowly breeding hate.

"Simmering" and "Boiling" Are Differ ent Things—Steaming Excellent for Cooking Large Joins— Braiding Pan Useful. The ordinary housewife rarely understands the meaning of the words "boil" and "simmer." Water boils at sea level at 212 degrees Fahrenheit; at high altitudes it boils at lower temperature. We find by experience that meat becomes tender more quickly at simmering point—a temperature of 180 degrees—than when it is boiled at 212 degrees. Simmering is when the bubbles form on the bottom of the vessel, safely pass through the water and rupture at the top, says the Christian Science Monitor. This is not the boiling motion. To have a piece of boiled meat rare, juicy and tasty the outside must be thoroughly sealed, the same as in baking. To do this, put the meat into boiling water, bring quickly to the boiling point, boil for 20 minutes, then push the kettle back where the meat will simmer 15 minutes to each pound. If the meat is to be served rare 12 minutes will be long enough; on the other hand, if it is to be well done, cook it 20 minutes to the pound. Even when well done it should be juicy, tender and palatable. Boiled meats are more easily digested than baked meats, even when baked meats are carefully cooked. Broiled meats are preferable to those cooked in a dry pan, and dry-panned meats are far superior to those fried; in fact, fried meats have no place at a well-regulated table. Steaming is an admirable method of cooking tough meats, or large joints like a leg of mutton or a ham. This may be done in a common boiler, using sufficient water to create a good volume of steam. Place the meat in the boiler, on a rack, above the water. As the water evaporates replace it with boiling water. Do not check the boiling or you reduce the heat and soften the surface of the meat. Braising is a cross between baking and boiling. This method is largely used for tough meats. A braising pan is a baking pan with a tight-fitting cover. These pans are sold under the astonishing name of "roasting pans;" roasting means to cook before a fire; you cannot roast in a covered pan. These pans are, notwithstanding their illogical name, admirable utensils in which to cook fricandreau of veal, beef a la mode, leg of mutton, braised beef, or an old turkey or fowl. Place the meat in the pan and partly fill the pan with boiling stock or water; add, if you like, a sliced onion, a bay leaf and a little chopped celery. Cover the pan, stand in a very hot oven and bake for three or four hours, according to the size and the kind of meat. A leg of mutton will require two; beef a la mode four, and fricandreau of veal three hours. Veal, to be at all edible, must be very well cooked. - Nut Bread. Beat up one egg and beat into it one-quarter of a cupful of sugar; add one teaspoonful of salt and two cupfuls of milk. Mix four teaspoonfuls of baking powder with four cupfuls of flour and sift this into the other ingredients, adding at the same time one cupful of chopped nuts. Stir these all together until smooth and then make into two loaves; let them rise in pans for 20 minutes and then bake for 20 minutes in a hot oven.—Harper's Bazar. Second Serving. Instead of serving roast beef on its second appearance cold, prepare it as follows: Lay the slices of cold beef in a dressing made of a saltspoonful of white pepper, twice as much salt, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and three tablespoonfuls of olive oil. Mix well and pour over the beef. Leave for an hour, then drain each slice, dip into a thick fritter batter and fry in deep fat to a golden brown. Serve very hot. Little Economy. There is nothing so small that you cannot save money on it. Make your pillow cases, for instance, of tubing. Then when they begin to get thin in the middle, you can rip the closed end and sew them again so that the creased edge of the pillow case will be now the middle of the flat side. The worn places are thus brought to the outer edge, where there is practically no wear upon them. Flour Starch. Mix first with cold water the flour. Then pour on gradually boiling water and boil till clear. Strain through cloth. Add bluing. For table linen add few tablespoons to rinse water. Clothes keep stiff longer and more satisfactory than by using regular starch. Snicker Doodles. Two cups of sugar, two eggs, cup sweet milk, six tablespoonfuls melted lard, cup chopped raisins, one quart flour, tablespoonful of cream tartar, half teaspoonful of soda; flavor to taste. Drop with teaspoon on greased pan and bake in hot oven. Cutting Butter. To cut brick butter for table use tear strip of oiled paper wrapping, place on butter the desired thickness, and cut through. Butter in squares does not break or stick to the knife. P. Chiolero, Pres. and Manager J. C. Chiolero, Vice-President S. Chiolero, Treasurer C. A. Grosso, Secy.

GIBSON SMITH Art Dealer 322 Seventeenth Street DENVER, - - COLORADO Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER --- STATUARY HALL A SIGHT NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED. Statuary hall in the capitol is the place where the states set up statues of dead statesmen as a warning to the living. Any statesman who ever had any aspirations to be great usually is cured after one look at the statues there. No matter how loudly of dead statesmen as a warning to the living. Any statesman who ever had any aspirations to be great usually is cured after one look at the statues there. No matter how loudly the call of fame sounds in his ears he is apt to think twice before he takes a step that will put him on a pedestal in a pair of baggy trousers and a coat that hikes up in the collar. In an age when statesmen wore a different style of clothing than is now the fashion, a statue, when turned out by a skilled union statue builder frequently was not only a work of art, but looked something like the person it was intended to represent. In the days of togas and such like flowing raiment, when statesmen went bare-legged and two-button vests and swallow-tailed coats were unknown, statues were all right; and it was worth a statesman's while to conduct himself in such a manner as to win one after he became cold in death. With all due respect for the late framers of the constitution, they were not, as a rule, built on physical lines adapted to being gracefully reproduced in cold marble, particularly when the sculpturing is done by infant prodigy home talent. We have the greatest admiration for the five pronged intellect possessed by the late Mr. Sam Adams of Massachusetts. He spoke some of the best pieces ever heard in Boston at a time when every patriot was working overtime thinking up sassy things to say about the king of England. It is to Mr. Adams that American his- A boy looks at a statue of a man. In Statuary Hall. tory is chiefly indebted for the notion that George III. was a deep, wily, clever tyrant—when as a matter of fact he was a harmless old gentleman subject to fits, and passed most of his time tied up to the bedpost counting the buttons on his vest. But, to get back to the point, Mr. Adams while endowed with an intellect that would give an ordinary man a headache was not exactly an Apollo in form. Pondering over state questions had given him something closely akin to a double chin, and even the tongue of flattery would hesitate to ascribe to him anything that could be described as a waist line. Had Mr. Adams been a Roman proconsul the sculptor would have represented him in a bathrobe, with a battle ax in his hand, and such little physical defects as have been pointed out would not be noticed. But attired as a substantial citizen of Boston, at a time when tailors were still proceeding on the theory that the masculine form was a thing of beauty and adorned in knee pants, a spiked tail-coat and a frilled shirt, the Massachusetts patriot does not look to the average spectator like a man capable of teetering the throne of England. Some improvement in the general effect of statuary hall might be produced if the sculptors did better team work. A convention of statuary hall sculptors which would adopt rules and regulations and some sort of uniform specifications undoubtedly would make for good. The first thing such co-operation should strive for should be a standardization of statues as to size. As it is, no two are executed on the same scale, and as a result what might be called the sky line of statuary hall is very bad. Artistic consideration aside, the conclusions invited by comparisons are most unjust to the statesmen represented. Some are giants in size and some are dwarfs. Uniformity of style in the matter of clothes also would work improvement. It is not too harsh a criticism to say that the average fit of clothing in statuary hall is very poor, and a good consulting tailor would not be a bad addition to the staff of sculptors. Still, as has been pointed out, statuary hall has its uses. Aspiring congressmen who pass through it every day derive therefrom a wholesome chastening effect such as could be conveyed in no other way, except perhaps by the reversal of the majority in their districts. ARE A NATION OF INVENTORS That Is Proved by Records of United States Patent Office in Washington. When an American wants something not to be found on the earth or in the waters under the earth he calmly gets to work and makes it. That is what has given this country the reputation of being a land of inventive geniuses. The records of the United States patent office shows that it received last year 63,293 applications for mechanical patents, 1,155 for design patents and nearly 7,000 for registration of trademarks. More than half the applications for patents were granted—exactly 35,807—while 4,329 trade marks registered. All of these were on behalf of citizens of the United States. From the date of the establishment of our patent office to the end of the year 1870 there were granted to American inventors 120,573 patents, while the total number granted in all other countries in the world during that period was 238,437. From 1871 to 1911 Americans received 809,561 patents, while those of all other nations got 189,654. The total number of patents issued by the United States to this time is 990,154. This greatly exceeds the total of any other nation. Germany ranks second in numbers with a total of 440,898. Great Britain is third with 425,374, and France fourth with 248.106. But with all their wonderful accomplishments it must be admitted that the inventors of this country still have something—or some things—to live and work for. There remains unsatisfied a long-felt want for a number of things which should make their inventors rich, of which the following are examples: A front door key that will score a bull's eye on the first trial—at any time of night. An automobile that will not exceed the speed limit when you're in a hurry. A home-run baseball bat. A commuter's monthly railroad ticket that always comes out even. A collar button that will not roll under the dressing case. Now that we have mentioned these few trifles by way of example, no doubt we shall get them in short order. Anyway, he is a rash man who challenges the inventive genius of the American people. MARKS FOR "LOAN SHARKS" Government Clerks in Washington Display Persistence in Getting Enmeshed in Toils. A most distressing feature of Washington life is the persistence displayed by government clerks in borrowing money and then getting themselves thoroughly enmeshed in the toils of the "loan sharks." Every once in a while cases of this character come to the front in the way of embezzlement by some trusted clerk, who hoped to recover himself and pay up, or when the worm turns, and the borrower has the loan shark yanked before the courts. A pretty bad condition exists now in the bureau of printing and engraving. About ten employees of the bureau, who are receiving salaries of only $50, $60 and $70 a month, have been playing "loan shark," and loaned out their small earnings almost at the rate of dollar for dollar until some of them have actually grown rich. Defalcation, or techincally embezzlement, by one of the trusted employees of the bureau brought his distressing condition before Director Joseph E. Ralph. When an investigation was commenced the disclosure of the other 10 or 12 "sharks" in that department came out. It is reported that a negro dressing room employee, who got a salary of $40 a month, was lending money at a tremendous profit to plate printers and others with salaries of $10 or more a day; also that one of the women employees, whose wages were $2.50 a day, had been loaning money at 10 per cent a month interest. It was shown that men and women who were getting large salaries were deepest in the toils of the "loan sharks." It is stated that none of these "loan sharks" are to be discharged, but that they are to be severely reprimanded. To a man "up a tree" it would seem as though they ought to be fired out of government employ, and honest men and women put in their places. Director Ralph says that he thinks they have been badly enough scared to keep them honest for the rest of their days in the department. Junk of Panama Failure Something like 10,000 tons of old French junk from the Panama canal is being shipped to New York for sale. This junk includes old locomotives, dump cars, tanks, barges, bollers, girders, dredges, sheet iron, parts of old machinery and other things for which the French Canal company paid millions of dollars and which it left to ruin on the isthmus. The scrap is being sent north in 700 ton lots, and three years will be required to ship it all. Each of the locomotives left by the French yields between $400 and $600 worth of copper alone. The commission will save the old steel rails on the isthmus to be used as re-enforcement in the concrete work and as telephone and telegraph poles. Some of this old French junk has been found in extraordinary places. Dredges have been discovered almost buried completely in sand, hundreds of feet away from any body of water and over-grown with dense tropical vegetation. Apparently they have been carried away from the river bed by high water or the river itself has shifted its course. TRUST MAGNATES ARE IN DANGER GOVERNMENT TO TRY TO SECURE CRIMINAL CONVICIATIONS. ATTORNEY GENERAL WICKER SHAM WILL GO AFTER LAW VIOLATORS. Washington.—The recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Standard Oil and American Tobacco cases will result in a sweeping attempt to secure criminal conviction of violators of the anti-trust law, according to Attorney General Wickersham, who appeared before the house committee on expenditures in the department of justice. Mr. Wickersham was asked why the government thus far had failed to lodge any "trust magnates" in prison. "We have done the best we could," he said, "but there has been an unwillingness on the part of the juries and courts to sentence men to prison under the anti-trust law. 'Until the Supreme Court laid down its definite construction in the two cases just decided, their reluctance was well understood, for the law has always been open to question and has been construed in different ways by different courts. Juries are becoming more willing now to convict and judges who have been reluctant to impose prison penalties now have the Supreme Court decisions to sustain them." Mr. Wickersham said he believed prison sentences would be the most effective means of enforcing respect for the anti-trust laws. Criminal prosecutions against the meat packers, milk dealers, grocers, the naval stores and window glass combination and alleged violators of the anti-trust law, he said, would be augmented by other prosecutions. On this subject the government had definite plans. Chairman Beall asked why there had been no criminal proceedings against the heads of the Standard Oil and tobacco corporations. "In view of the fact that we have secured decisions in these cases only within the last two weeks, it seems to me that question answers itself," said Mr. Wickersham. "Now, however, we have an interpretation of the anti-trust law on which we can proceed." The attorney general was closely questioned by Mr. Beall as to the cotton cases in New York, but he refused to disclose the government's future action. Canadian Reciprocity. Washington.—Public hearings on the Canadian reciprocity bill practically have concluded by the Senate Finance committee and next Wednesday was fixed as the time when a vote will be taken on reporting the measure. No amendments other than that offered by Senator Root on the paper clause, will have any chance for consideration, it was said by a member of the committee. Lumber, paper and woolen manufacturing interests, according to testimony given by Joseph H. Allen of the firm of Allen & Graham of New York, offered to contribute to the fight being made against reciprocity by the National Grange. Hill Executes Big Mortgage. St. Paul, Minn.—A move that is strongly suggestive here of railroad operations on the scale of the Northern Securities Company was outlined by J. J. Hill, chairman of the Great Northern Railway Company, when in a statement he announced the execution of a $600,000,000 first and refunding mortgage to secure bonds for the Great Northern and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad.

Eugene Hale, who retired from the United States genate last March, is to- day the country's most famous man from Maine. He had been in the sen- ate since 1881, a longer service than any other member now in the senate, and he had been in public life and public office practically continuously since he vame of age in 1867. But, so far as I koow, it has never been told in print how, after he had been a county attorney for ‘nine years, a member of the Maine legislature for two years and a member of the lower house of congress for five terms he began his political career all over again. ‘A few days after Mr. Hale had | been sworn in as a United States sen- | ator for the first time I met Thomas |B. Reed in a telegraph office in Wash- ington. He was in one of his delight- ful philosophical, contemplative moods and he spoke of the great enjoyment he was then experiencing through his discovery of a French classic. After a ‘while the conversation drifted around to national politics, then to Maine politics and then I reminded Mr. Reed that in 1879, when a stone- cutter of the name of Murch had de feated the new senator from Maine in his sixth candidacy for congress, predictions were freely made _ that that was the end of Eugene Hale po litically.” “Well,” drawled Mr. Reed, ~“that might very well have been the end of Eugene Hale if he hadn't begun all over again. At any rate, I'm certain that he wouldn't have got into the sen- |ate so soon if it hadn't been for the Greenback craze that swept over Maine dnd leveled him, among others. before it died down. “Not long after this fellow Murch defeated Hale I asked Hale what he was going to do. “‘Tom,' he said, ‘I am going to be- gin all over again.’ “How are you going to do that?’ } asked. “ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘you know I served two terms in the Maine house of rep resentatives in 1867-8. I made my po litical mark there and from there | was sent to congress. Now, they are saying that I am dead politically, be cause, after serving five terms in the house of representatives of the United States I have been beaten by an un known, a stonecutter, backed by the Greenbacks, the labor vote and the Democratic party. But I didn’t think so; in fact, I am going to prove to all who say I am dead politically that they are wrong, and I’m going to do it by going back to the Maine legisla Belleved It Imperative That He Re main at His Post to Meet Pos- sible Attacks Against Founda- tlons of Commonwealth. Melville W. Fuller of Chicago be- came chief fustice of the United States in 1888, being at that time fifty-five years of age. In 1908 after he had served twenty years, and when he was seventy-five years of age, some of the more intimate of his personal friends ventured to hint to him that {t would be well, in view of his advanced years, if he should give some thought to retiring from the bench. They intimated that he would find abundant opportunity for the cultivation of those refined and studious tastes which he had not en- ‘tirely neglected: while serving as chief justice. Some of these friends knew that he was as industrious as in the early days of his career at the bar, which was characterized by unusual habits of industry. Sometimes, often, bis studies were prolonged until late nto the night, | To these somewhat vague but well ‘meant hints the chief Justice at first paid no attention. He turned them aside by some kindly remark, some- times intimating, for example, that he was still physically strong, and ‘sometimes in a spirit of Jest, asking ‘his friends if they detected any men- ‘tal impairment in him. "Therefore, after a time, the matter ‘was dropped. But about a year after ‘the first suggestion of this nature ‘was made to him, Chief Justice Ful- Jer’s friend again, in a kindly and ‘sincere spirit which he fully appre- ciated, ventured still more earnestly to urge upon him that he owed it to himself to his famfly and to his friends that he take early advantage of the opportunity for retirement from the bench, which had beep his at any time since he had been sev- ‘enty years of age. This intimation was followed by others, and from ‘the same sources, and at last the ‘chief justice, perhaps conscious of ‘the fact that already intimations had ‘appeared in the public press telling of his contemplated retirement at an ‘Carly day, wae persuaded that the ‘time had comte when he should take ‘Harrison’s Pathetic Desire ture and beginning my politi¢al ca- reer all over again.’ : “Well, the following autumn,” con- tinued Mr. Reed, “Hale was a candl- dute for his old seat in the lower house of the state legislature. He was elected easily from the town of Ellsworth, ahd back he went to Au- gusta the same old Eugene Hale that he was when he first took his seat in that body. He did not complain at the come down; he did not moan over the fact that he was no longer in con- gress. He applied himself, assiduous- ly to his duties as a state legislator, and the first thing his political ene- mies knew—the very ones who had prophesied some time before that he was dead politically—Hale’s conduct had so won the admiration and re- spect of the state that when it came time for a new senator to be elected from the state of Maine Eugene Hale easily led the list of candidates and won the coveted honor. I anf™sure that his demeanor during this second period in the Maine legislature served, more than any other ene thing—more than hie long record {h congress, more than the fact that he had been offered and declined the post of secretary of the navy by President Hayes—to cause his party, without dissent, to insist that he succeed Hannibal Ham- lin in the United States senate. And I doubt whether he would have got to “Coldest Man Who Ever Sat in the White House” Wanted to Be a Good Fellow, but Did Not Know How. General Benjamjn Harrison has frequently been called the coldest man who ever sat in the White House, although history: has inter- mittently striven to give this distine- tion to John Adams. Certain it 1s, the politicians and public men of Harrison's day es- teemed the twenty-third president of the United States as one who had greater intellect than temperament. Especially the politicians, after they hed swarmed to\ the White House following Harrison's inauguration, confessed to one another that they had found the new president Icy. ‘They said with one accord that his greeting-was cold, that his handshake was limp; and speedily there grew up a popular’impression that there was no warmth of temperament in Benja- min Harrison, although there was general recognition not only of the Drilliancy but also of the profundity of his intellectual powers. But none of the politicians—nor, in his personal friends into his confi- dence. This he did in the manner and with the words here reported. “[ have not been unmindful of the suggestion that at my age it may be the better part for me to retire to the serenity and comfort of private life,” he said. “But I should say to you now that I have already placed my resignation in the hands of Di- vine Providence. It may be accepted at any time. It is certainly to be accepted within two years, I await with serenity the call. “I have done this because it has seemed to me that in these times, when great events are in progress— when it is apparent that some severe test of stability of a Republican: Democratic form of government is now or 1s about to be made—when there are to be observed certain preachings and agitations made, pos: sibly, in sincerity, but containing seeds of grave danger—it 1s impera- tive that I should remain at the post to which I was called so long as 1 have my faculties, to the end that our tribunal, the master work of our federal constitution, may still stand as a rock in permanent support of the fundamental principles upon which our great commonwealth 1s founded. You now have my reasons for not accepting heretofore your sug- gestion that I voluntarily retire from my high office. And you have my reasons for not accepting {t now.” ‘A few months later Melville W. Ful- ler had his resignation as chief jus- tice of the United States accepted by that Divine Providence in which he placed implicit trust. (Copyright, 1911, by EB. J.

It is not often that a fish is large enough to stop the progress of & steamer, but an incident of this nature occurred recently off the coast of Aus- tralia, when a huge sunfish became ‘wedged under the port propeller of the steamboat Fiona. The engine, as the account states, was brought up all standing and the steamer stopped to investigate the cause of the trouble. ‘It was impossible to extricate the fish at sea and the steamer, which for ‘tunately was provided with twin ‘screws, proceeded slowly on her way ‘with only one engine working. | The fish was removed at Port Jackson and found to weigh two tons fourteen hun- ‘dred weight.

DENVER, COLO. fact, any of the thousands of Ameri- cans who met General Harrison while he occupied the White House—was more keenly conscious of this tem- peramental defect than was Harrison himself. To his intimate friends he sometimes spoke of it. To one he declared he sometimes wondered if his Inability to appreciate music was not a part, or a cause, of his tempera ielafital difficulties. “I do not know one song from another,” he confessed, ‘excepting that at last I have learned to distinguish one of ‘se military tunes—I think {t {s Yankee Doodle.’ ” And some time later, when he was discussing his great weakness—or what he looked upon as his great weakness—with another intimate tele. he said—and there was an unmistakable longing in his voice: “I want, to be a good fellow. I have tried hard to be companionable. It has been my great desire. But I don’t know how.” Clearly, the mystery of his appa- rent coldness of disposition was as unsolvable to Benjamin Harrison as it was to the politicians who were hrought Into contact with him during the four years that he was president. But what neither Harrison himself nor the politicians could clear up, a great Democrat did, at least to his own. satisfaction—and that was Grover Cleveland, both predecessor and successor of Harrison in the White House. After Cleveland had ~etired from the presidency in 1893 he fell into the habit of chatting freely with his intimate friends of events that had occurred while he was president and of public men he met during those two periods. “Before I first met Benjamin Harri- son, when he was president-elect,” said Mr. Cleveland, “I, of course, had great respect for his intellectual abit: ity; and I may add that I had been told that he was a man of phlegmatic disposition, having no warmth of heart. But twice I had good oppor- tunity to learn that this was not the truth, The first time we met I ar- rived at the opinion that what was thought to be c@dness in Mr. Harri- son was, in fact, nothing but exces- sive shyness. I think he was the shyest ofall the men in public life I have ever met. That shyness, of course, caused some self-conscious- ness, and the two together worked to make him cold of heart, apparently. And I came to know what his kind- ness of heart and his capacity for courtesy were. Nothing could have been more cordial than hjs reception of mo when I returned to the White House in 1893, after I had defeated him; and it was due to his thought- ful consideration that I found the executive mansion perfectly fitted for our comfortable reception in every possible detail, This service Presi- dent Harrison himself had done, or it was doue under his direct over- sight. And this experfence confirmed ‘me in my earlier impression that Gen- eral Harrison's apparent coldness was due alone to excessive shyness, which he could net control ‘opyr . by EB. J. Edwards.

Dainty and Modish Hood THE LADY OF THE ROAD FLOWERS TO MATCH THE EYES | ELASTIC SIDE GUSSETS USED THIS new, pretty and modish hood is made of white chiffon mull, shirred as shown in the photograph. The borders of the tie are of Persian liberty silk. The hood New Freak of Fashion Altogether Charming When Carried Out With Due Consideration. The touch of velvet near the face, matching the color of the eyes, has long been popular with the women who study their own good points, and this has been easy to manage in these days of quaint little bows and pipings. Of late, however, the women of the smart set have taken to wearing flowers which carry out the color, too. There are pansies that are for the brown eyed girl, forget-me-nots for blue eyes and orchids for the maid with hazel eyes. The girl with gray eyes is the only one who has any trouble, for all she can find to match her eyes is the hum- ble dusty miller leaf. Sometimes she fancies her eyes, however, are "gray blue" or "green gray," so she varies her color scheme with orchids, mignonette or a dull blue blossom. If she is quite convinced that her eyes are really "matchless" she contents herself with the feeling of superiority arising therefrom and lets the jewels of her face sparkle unrivaled or wears the modest violet, which would never presume to resemble the eyes above them. When natural blooms are not procurable the woman with an eye for flowers buys artificial ones of the required tint. Parisian ingenuity has gone one step further in this art and provides for its leaders of fashion real flowers dyed with chemical dyes in any desired color or shade. Hardy flowers, such as camellias, carnations and all varieties whose stems are good absorbers, are placed in the liquid and allowed to stay there until exactly the right amount of color has been absorbed. To Keep Furs. Every housewife knows what a great worry furs and woolen garments are during the summer months, when moths are so ready to destroy any within their reach. Take a five gallon crock and after sunning and brushing the furs place them in the crock, then cover with a heavy piece of wrapping paper which is glued fast to the crock, making it absolutely air tight and there are no cracks or crevices for moths to enter. This can be kept in a dry cellar all summer, or if you have no cellar or clothes press get a large tin lid to fit the crock and make a cover of cretonne and use for a corner seat in any room, and save all worry over moths for the summer. Novel Breakfast Cap. The new nets, flowered in colors, are being turned into fetching breakfast caps for the girl who loves the picturesque. One of the new models has a deep Tam O'Shanter crown fitted into a crinoline band an inch and a half wide covered with folds of gold tissue ribbon. Over each ear is draped a pointed jabot effect of lace to match the net that fell to the shoulders and framed the face on each side like a sixteenth century headgear. Over each of these points was a single pink rose or a bunch of pink apple blossoms. Popular Trimming. Lace is one of the most popular trimmings on the new spring styles, being used on hats, frocks for any time of the day and even the suit of cloth, and of all the laces Irish is perhaps the favorite. Irish lace coped from Venetian designs is a new factor in the fashions, and has been widely taken up for the collar and cuff sets for either blouse or coat. is a fetching means of protecting the hair from the dampness of the seashore or lakeside. It is particularly charming when worn with a lingerie frock. Boon to Those of Stout Figure Are the New Corsets of Very Long Hip Cut. Elastic side gussets are introduced on corsets of very long hip cut, as shown in our illustration, and stout figures especially can be assured of added slimness in those shapes, which particularly give flat hips. A reduction in the circumference of the figure of from three to five inches is an important consideration to the smart woman, even if she now does not exceed an average build; every garment, as she well knows, looks and wears so much more advanta- A geously on a slim figure, provided that the rounded lines are preserved and the whole is well proportioned. There is no reason in these days why grace, increased support and comfort to the figure, extra slimness and consequent additional smartness should not all be achieved at the same time by the wearing of good though not necessarily expensive up-to-date corsets. The big, heavy woman, however, will do well to wear the special belt corsets which have reached such perfection this season. These are most comfortable to wear, besides making the figure inches smaller; therefore they will be found invaluable to those of corpulent or inclined to that build. The particular feature of this season's corsets, however, for ordinary figures is, as our illustrations show, their straight fit over the hips and abdomen, but their construction and style of cutting make them "sit" most comfortably, while affording extra abdominal compression and support. Plns Handy. Many dressmakers have a long, narrow pincushion fastened around the waist on a belt; but a better plan, says a Ladies' Home Journal, is to have a small round cushion and attach to it an elastic band from one side to the other, just large enough to slip comfortably over the hand and hold on the left wrist. The pins are always in sight by this method and easy to take out. Anthracite Beads. New beads are made of porcelain, wood and even rubber, but latest of all is the black anthracite bead, which is the most beautiful of all, says an exchange. As the light glances on these, one sees flashes of blue and red. A hint to the wise is sufficient. $5.00 to $10.00 on our suits made from strictly all-wool material. Are correct in style and fit.
