COLUMBUS IN STATUARY COLUMBUS IN STATUARY VOL.28.NO.36. HRISTOPHER COLUMBUS was a Latin, whether he be considered as a native of Italy, where undoubtedly he spent his early boyhood or seafarer of Portugal, where his maturing manhood years prepared his for the in- HRISTOPHER COLUMBUS was a Latin, whether he be considered as a native of Italy, where undoubtedly he spent his early boyhood, or serving under the flag of Portugal, where his untimely manhood years prepared his for the incomparable triumphs he secured for the home of his final adoption, Spain. Latin America, too, was the area over which his discoveries were extended, for it is a fact that he had no knowledge of the existence of the vast continent to the north of the Caribbean sea and the West India islands. He had been to England and at one time in despair had applied to the court of England to help him in his great ambition, but his experience and his fame were Latin. Perhaps on this account the name of Columbus is incorporated more proudly than the name of Columbus Latin America than in that of Anglo-Saxon America. The Republic of Colombia bears witness to the honor with which he was held from the beginnings of independence in the western world. Today the one-time insignificant little port in Panama, Colon, at the northern entrance to the canal, indicates another attempt to perpetuate the name of Columbus in a geographical way. Other countries have districts or rivers, public parks and theaters, with the name Columbus in Spanish, as its equivalent, Colombo, in Portuguese, a mark of affection as well of honor for the discoverer of America. The United States has given his name to the District of Columbia as soon as the founders of this Republic could consider designations apart from those inherited from provincial days. As the country grew in area, towns were named Columbus, and the designation of the federal district, which was to be the seat of government, was not forgotten, on the continent that once might have been his. Perhaps, however, the greatest compliment to the memory of Columbus is that implied in the poetical appellation "Columbia," the allegorical name given to the United States. There can be no denying the fact that the recognition of the great achievement of the admiral has been tarnished, known, however, that often the colonial judgment of history alone awards to the honor they deserved. We are all so familiar with the story of Columbus, as it has been handed down to THE MEMORIAL OF THE DEATH OF THE MAYOR OF LONDON us, that there is no need here to recount the many injustices which he suffered at the hands of his contemporaries. The salient fact that he was shorn of his honors and returned laden with chains, proves conclusively the cruel contempt with which the fearless navigator was treated in his own day. Time recites many mis-presentations, the case of the discoverer of America. The wonder of his achievement is universally recognized and the worlds, both old and new, have testified in many monuments to the respect and honor in which they hold Columbus. The custom of preparing effigies in stone, so that the names and achievements of a nation's heroes may be passed on to posterity, finds its origin in most ancient times. It is but natural that this custom should have been in the case of Columbus. Today the statues erected to the discoverer in Italy, Spain, France, and in nearly all of the countries of the new world. At Genoa, who city claims the honor of being the birthplace of Columbus, there has been erected a very magnificent statue, which overlooks the bay. It was completed and dedi- COLUMBUS in CHALNS COLUMBUS STATUE in BUENOS AIDES COLUMBUS STATUE in WASHINGTON cated on November 9, 1862, although the foundation had been laid as far back as 1846. The inscription it bears is: "To Christopher Columbus, the Fatherland." Spain, which country failed the Genocide during his lifetime, has been more generous to his memory, and here are many shafts raised to record the greatness of his deed. Perhaps the noblest monument yet erected to the memory of Columbus is that which stands in Barcelona. It was in this city that King Ferdinand and his consort, Isabella, received the admiral on the return from his first voyage. It is most appropriate situation. Much care was taken in the selection of the design of the Barcelona monument, and the result is astir in every sense of the word. In the new world nearly every country has testified in recognition of the deed of Columbus by the erection of some character of monument. From the magnificent effigy which graces the center of Columbus circle in New York to the simple shaft COLUMBUS STATUE in BUEVOS AIRFS COLUMBUS which marks the spot of the supposed first landing on Wattlings island, we find a great number of statues erected in honor of the discoverer. Even the English have done honor to the navigator at Nassau in the Bahama islands and at Trinidad; and the people of Santo Domingo have also raised splendid monuments; while in Cuba, where in the cathedral at Havana, the bones of Columbus were so long interred, there are a great many representative statues. The statue which is now placed in president's palace, Havana, is an artistic piece of work, but the most striking effigy of all in Cuba is Vallitziana's sculpture depicting Columbus in chains. It is to be regretted that this beautiful work is only a clay model. The representation is that of Columbus in his old age. He is seated on a coil of rope on the deck of the ship which is carrying him to Spain. He reclines against a capstan, his fettered hands held before him. The artist has caught a striking expression of resignation combined with melancholy. The work is a masterpiece of sentiment and expression. Another historical group is that which was presented by Empress Eugenie of France to the Republic of Colombia. It now stands at Cristobal, the Canal Zone. Throughout Latin America the generation for Columbus is universal, and we find his memory honored in cities of Mexico, Colombi, Peru, Chile and other Pan-American states. It is curious to note that it was also a Latin, a Frenchman, who erected the first monument in the United States in honor of the achievement of Columbus. In Baltimore there still stands a monument erected over a century ago in honor of THE APPEAL. the first discoverer. It is said to be the original monument erected on this continent to commemorate the achievement of Columbus. It is unfortunate that there is no contemporaneous painting or likeness of Columbus extant. For this reason artists who have attempted to reproduce his lineaments in marble have been at a great disadvantage. As a matter of fact the accepted likeness of the admiral is after the manner of being an idealistic conception. All are familiar with the strong, clean-shaven face from which deep, expressive eyes face out under a broad brow. The deep lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth are also characteristic of the popular portraits of Columbus. Who would have the discoverer depicted with a gray beard? Yet it is more than probable that he was more one when he planted the banner of Spain on the shores of the New World. The few descriptions of the personal appearance of the admiral which we have from those who knew him well tell us "he was a man of sturdy stature, rather above the average height, of a very ruddy complexion, with freckles and red hair when he was young. The latter soon turned white, which was also the color of his beard." Beards were the fashion of his day in Snail, and it is easy to BUS STATUE in WASHINGTON? believe that sailors wore them for protection. The representations which we see today of Columbus can nearly all be traced back to an engraving called the Paulus Jovius cut, which was made from a painting that has been lost. Even the lost painting was not an original likeness, for it was painted on what the lawyers would call "hearsay evidence." But as was executed some time in the early years of the sixteenth century the features may be taken as fairly correct. In this cut Columbus is drawn without a beard, thus he is always Original "Old Oaken Bucket" Original "Old Oaken Bucket" Was Stolen Shortly After the Well Known Poem of Samuel Wood. worth Became Famous. Not far from Boston is located the well which inspired the familiar lines of Samuel Woodworth to the "Old Oaken Bucket." Every time the place is visited many new traditions are told concerning the famous old bucket, about which 'people have been singing these many years. Having drunk deep of the snatches of waters, between whisked snatches of the familiar refrain, how disconcerting it was to have the charm broken by learning that the original "Old Oaken Bucket" was stolen shortly after his well-known poem became famous. The youngest daughter of Samuel Woodworth, the author, died recently in Berkeley, Cal, and she often used to tell about the real old oaken bucket and of the sadness which came Defective Page clean shaven in engy. So it is with the new Columbus statue unveiled in Washington on June 8. This marks the first great memorial which the United States government has erected to Christopher Columbus. There has long been a feeling that this country has not had a really worthy monument to the man who is primarily responsible for the existence of the nation. The feeling took concrete shape when, in 1906, Representative James A. Goulden of New York introduced a bill appropriating the sum of $100,000 to fund the national Congress passed the bill and it was signed in 1807 by President Roosevelt. The design is a combination of fountain, shaft and statue. The fountain is semi-circular, 70 feet wide and 65 feet from front to rear. The balustrade which half encircles it bears the emblem of a heroic lion at either extremity. The salient feature of the memorial is a splendid stone shaft surmounted by a globe. Before this shaft, which rises in the center of the fountain circle, is the statue of Columbus. Before this shaft, which rises in the center of the fountain circle, is the statue of Columbus. This globe is supported by four massive eagles MBUS in CHALKS with outstretched wings. Upon it, in high relief, are cut the topographical features of the new world. At either side of the shaft there appear figures portraying the sculptor's conception of representative types of the new and old world. The figure of an American Indian, energetic in pose, one hand reaching over his shoulder and grasping an arrow from a quiver, represents the new world, while the statue of a patriarchal Caucasian of heroic proportions and thoughtful mien, typifies the old world.

TELLS OF GEYSERS Every Year More Tourists Throng Yellowstone Park. *Old Faithful* Resembles Symmetrical Cone Containing 250,000 Gallons of Steaming Water 150 Feet High. Yellowstone Park—Yellowstone National Park every year furnishes a center of interest for increasing numbers of vacationists. The government has taken precautions to preserve this, the greatest of American wonders, for years to come. The acting superintendent of the park is the commanding officer of Fort Yellowstone, a four-company hunt. Hunting is not permitted in the reserve, but visitors may fish for trout. The Government protects the animals in the park and sees to it that the natural formations of stone are not damaged by vandals. The geysers are principal attractions in Yellowstone. There are thousands of these strange natural phenomena there; are almost constantly active, while others seem to be extinct. Old Faithful geyser has been thus described: "In imagination lift in a symmetrical cone 250,000 gallons of scalding, steaming water 150 feet high and hold it there three minutes, jewel the grand fountain with a million diamonds, filled through it the hues of innumerable confusion every sound of splash and splutter—and you will have a faint idea of Old Faithful in action. "It is the immutable water clock of the Yellowstone, the most perfect illustration of geyseric phenomena, the most famous and beautiful geyser in the whole world." "The note of the beginning of the play of the geyser is an angry growl down deep in its throat, whence almost instantly the water, in rapid recurrent leaps, forms the stately fountain that plays for three minutes and then slowly sinks into the earth to await its time to rise again. Sometimes the winds unfold from its top an iridescent banner of spray, but more often the fountain form is a perfec- "Old Faithful plays every seventy minutes, and never disappoints. In the daytime, under the sun, it glistens and gleams with prismatic hues; but the most unchanging hour to witness "Old Faithful." its performance is that when night is falling—when the dusk is around it and the last faint tints of the sun linger in the sky. Then it is a spectre in ghostly white standing against the sombre background of the wilderness—a sight strange and startling and never to be forgotten." The visitor to Yellowstone Park will find the animals there of unusual interest. No sound of gun or bark of dog is ever heard and the wild animals have become so tame that they have no fear of the tourist and give only a passing glance at the visitors. Bear, duffalo, elk and bear roar through the Yellowstone. The bears come down from their caves in the evening and feed about the hotels. Excellent hotel accommodations are to be found in the Yellowstone and competent guides are to be hired.

GARDEN OF FORUM AT ROME Beautiful Flora Is Again Revived and Flowers Are Ages Ago Are to Be Seen Rice—The wonderful discoveries which have taken place during the last few years in Rome have now allowed the general public to grasp an almost perfect idea of what must have been the life of our ancestors of over two thousand years ago. The love of the Romans for their gardens often occurs in Virgil and Horace, the poets of antiquity, as well as in Pliny, the naturalist, and in Juvenal. In a recent visit which I took to Ostia, the pleasure city of the Roman epoch, I noticed that with every house of the place a garden or a roof garden has occupied a considerable space, just as in England to-day. No doubt, then, the magnificent“villas” of the Palatine and the Forum—the residence of the emperors and their court—must have Corner of Old Roman Garden. contained the finest garden plants available in those days, together with a large selection of those plants which, for some reasons not fully known to us, were believed to have religious power. It was with the object of reviving a part of this beautiful Roman florat that Commendator Boni has been working for the last two years collecting a large number of plants chosen among those which are supposed to have grown in the very place where the most important monuments have been discovered. This unusually difficult work has necessitated extensive study, together with common technical and botanical knowledge, and the almost completed, and the visitor can find among the marbles and the stones left to us through the centuries some fine specimens of the plants which were in existence in Roman times. The aeanthus, whose beautiful leaves have inspired the design of the Corinthian capital, is fully represented in this "botanical garden of antiquity;" the white jasmine, which, according to the legend, was sacred to the vestal virgins, is now climbing again on the beautiful porch which had been erected under the kingdom of Trajanus "aere senatus populusque romani" ("with the money of the senate and of the people of Rome"). The large, mysterious basils found near the used area of the basil, which probably was used by the haiden of the S sacred Fire, had their borders fully covered by velvet roses, while the white roses, a symbol of virility purity, are now blooming around the statues of the "vestales maximus." The women of priests antiquity. White and red roses are also decorating the statue * of Vettius Agonius Pratexatus, one of the last prefects or mayors of Rome, who, having been one of the most strenuous defenders of the dying paganism, had a marble statue erected by order of the religious authority of the time. IS THE PANAMA METROPOLIS Port Antonio in Jamaica Ships 9,000, 000 Bunches of Tropical Fruit Every Year. New York—Port Antonio to the United States was eastern shore of Jamaica, is the greatest banana port in the world. In 1911 it shipped more than 9,000,000 bunches of bananas, nearly all of which came to the United States. Jamaica leads all other countries in the world in the production of bananas, and Port Antonio has the lead over all other towns in Jamaica, because the heavy rainfall in its neighborhood is favorable to the production of this fruit. During the busiest season—July, August and September—eighteen to twenty-one fruit ships leave Port Antonio every week in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore or Charleston. But are all these bananas boats tiring to the United States American body? From it. The consular report shows that in 1911 the number of clearances issued to vessels from Port Antonio to the United States was 708, of which 523 were Norwegian, 102 British, 74 American and 9 German ships. Perhaps we may rejoice, in the present state of our neglected merchant marine, that as many as 74 ships out of 708 were American. Robber Vills to Finger. Vancouver, B.

FOWLS OF THE AIR Incubator Has Been Used by Birds for Ages. Australian Brush Turkey Builds Huge Nest, Eggs Are Laid and Permitted to Hatch Without the Aid of Female. London—Most of us, probably, are under the impression that man invented the incubator. He did nothing of the sort. Certain of the fowls of the air forestalled him by a few hundred thousand years or so. Both in the gardens of the Zoological society and private parks, such as that of the duke of Bedford, one species of mound-builder, at present at least, has been annually induced, for successful demonstrations of the skills which the propagation of the species may be carried on with the least possible expenditure of care and energy on the part of the parents, while they evidently ignore the fact that that method, obstinately persisted in, has left them hopelessly in the race for life. This bird is the Australian brush turkey (Talegalia lathami). When it becomes imperative that nature's annual tribute should be paid, this bird knowing nothing of the word "co-operation," yet acts upon it. Two of the females, and perchance an unusually good-natured male, start throwing dirt with their feet, which are of enormous size. Working with an energy worthy of a better cause, they soon create an enormous head of soil and decaying vegetation. Camping out for a few days on the spot, the tiresome task is soon completed. Then the bored females scrape a hole in the center of the heap and between the deposit about a score or so eggs. This done, the birds are free! The only care they seem to take for the well-being if the brats that are to be is that when laying, they contriuc to leave the egg with its large end downwards. A gardener was once asked why he always pulled the barrow after him. He replied: "Because I 'ates the sight of it." And, apparently, for similar reasons, the mound-bird, in building its unlovely nursery, throws the earth behind it. Sooner or later, however, a mound, some six feet high, and twelve or fourteen yards in circumference, is raised. The rotting leaves, embedded in leaf-mold, soon begin to ferment, and with this the process of incubation begins. Now, nesting birds, as everybody knows, require a tremen- Australian Brush Turkey. dous lot of feeding and nursing; and the megapodes seem to have taken particular care, therefore, that this should not be the case with their youngsters. Why should their fine intellects be wasted in catering for squeaking nestlings? And so they found a way out. That was by laying enormous eggs containing enough food to tide over the whole of this trying period. Accordingly, the young megapode battens on his food yolk; and grows and sheds his nestling down, and develops his first suit of feathers while still within the walls of his ivory cradle. When, at last, by means of his "egg-teeth" he cuts the roof of his cat and wriggles out, he huses and warm, resting bed of mold. And he hends quietly, resting his next move. This is to wriggle out. So soon as this is done his quill-sheaths peel off, and lo, presto! he can not-only run, but fly alone. And having never known his parents, he never pines for them, but forthwith proceeds to explore the world and grow big. FARMER ASKS FOR $500.00 Tells Uncle Sam He Wasn't Able to Do Much Work and Lost Live Stock. Washington—An urgent appeal for a gift of $500 from the federal government came to the treasury department from a luckless man of Lamport, Colo, who wants life made a little easier for himself and companions. He wrote: "We are not able to do very much work and we lost several stock last winter. We did not make very much feed last year and were not able to buy feed and grain. We had to buy most of our provisions to help us out of a hard place. We could use about $500. We sure would be glad and thankful for your kindness. Hope the Lord will bless you, as your prayer.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN. On last Sunday, in Chicago Lawn Congregational church, the widow of Dr. H. W. Thomas read a sermon that was delivered by him in 1893, on the occasion of the opening of the World's Columbian Exposition, entitled, "The Universal Brotherhood of Man." In the audience of over 4,000 persons who heard the original sermon there were representatives of every race and nation in the world. It was a plea for the abolition of race prejudice and an exposition of the common interests of all human beings. The sermon was a remarkable one in the undisputable facts it contained. It said: "The human mind is the same wherehuman beings live. It puts men on a common plane, above every other form of life or matter. Be he European, Celestial, Jew or African, he stands above everything around him. Human conscience is the same everywhere. It tells every human being to do what he thinks is right. It is the common possession of men of every race and stage of civilization. Afections, love of music and the aesthetic --- SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE. W. H.

Mr. Taylor was born in London August 15, 1875, and was, therefore, just a little more than 27 years old. Perhaps no better eulogy could be made than that of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who said of the deceased, among other good things: "It is given to but few men in so short a time to create for themselves a position of such prominence on two continents as rell to the lot of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. He early gave evidence of creative powers of a high order, and at the time of his death ranked as one of the most interesting and remarkable of British conductors and composers. His sympathetic setting in cantata of portions of Longfellow's "Hiwatha" did much to make him known in England and America. "Mr. Coleridge-Taylor has written much, has achieved much. His work, moreover, possesses not only charm and power, but distinction, the individual note." --- Of all inconsistent and senseless things, color prejudice just about tops the whole list, and it is often quite expensive, too. Just now, it seems, that it's costing the city of St. Louis $15 per day. R. A.

The fool white people of that particular district resented the "Negro invasion" by setting fire to the sheds in the rear of Hudlin's residence several times. Hudlin complained to the authorities, and ever since last May the city has been paying in $15 per day for five policemen to guard the property.

Lewis, Wilson and Morris, the three Afro-American members, retained in that body, despite the action of the color prejudiced executive committee. The action of Mr. Morris in resigning after the mooted question had been settled is condemned by many. It was prompted, doubtless, by a desire on the part of Mr. Morris to show he did not wish to belong to a body of men who did not want him in it. Well, these same men, if they ever get to heaven, won't want Mr. Morris there; then, is he going to resign and go to hell just to satisfy their color prejudice? According to our recollection the great and only T.

WASHINGTON—When one looks on the picture of the Camorris们 in their cage in Viterbo, where they were being tried as instigators of crimes and members of criminal organizations, it comes right home to the clerks who work in the treasury department in Washington. Since the economy cranks got to work they have turned the old treasury department upside down.

Ajax wilted when he saw that piece of timber in the muscular hands of the brawny Alexander, and beat it.

THAT FISH WEICH'S JUST-AH-UM-M-AH TEN POUNDS THE official guesser for the United States government has lost his job. For years the government has bought live salmon upon the good eye of a veteran fisherman, who took a squint at each fish and then put down in his book what he guessed to be the right weight. The bills were paid accordingly—thousands of dollars. Every year the government buys from 600 to 1,000 live salmon for breeding from the weir owners on the Bucksport, Verona, Orland and Penscot shores. The price paid is the market rate, from 20 to 35 cents a pound, with 60 cents bonus for each fish for the trouble of keeping them alive. To get at the exact weight of a live salmon is practically impossible, for it is very delicate work at best in dipping them from the "pound" in the weirs to the "car," which is an old dory filled with water, carefully lined with cotton fannel and covered with a netting, which is covered outside with canvas. The utmost can "A ARE the post-office employees here doing their duty?" "Yes," said Postmaster N. A. Merritt curtly. "How about the cats?" he was asked. "They are on the job too." They are on the job, too. Then Mr. Merritt stopped to consider whether Washington had any cats on the official pay roll or not. He wasn't sure, but insisted that they were working overtime, provided they were recognized civil service employees. Whereupon, a copy of a scandalous report concerning Philadelphia cats was shown to him. Philadelphia has had her post-office supplied with a collection of high class cats. As soon as these cats reported for duty at Uncle Sam's office there they immediately contracted a bad case of Philadelphia hookworm. Although on the official pay roll, so runs the story, they fell into line, formed a union, and announced themselves old-time Philadelphia conservatives. The mice have recovered from their scare and the cats are taking graft. placita was fixed up as a sort of a glass house, and several hundred clerks fired out into that. Of course, the sun beats down on this glass house from the time that it rises until it sets, and the result was that about half the clerks were ill all of the time from the heat last summer. So this summer they have put a great canvas over this glass house, and keep water running on it all the time. The poor clerks' that work under this are turned in in the morning, and the iron gates are closed like a stone prison, and to get out to get a bite to eat in the 30 minutes they have at noon they have to tell their name, age, nativity, place of residence and a lot of other family history. At least those who have to eat say that it seems to them it takes up enough time to give their pedigree from the Revolution to now before they get out without having to do the same things to get back in, and that takes up at least 10 minutes from their scant half hour from eating. It is said the iron cages are necessary for the safety of the money which the clerks are counting, but the treasury department has been running for about 100 years with no such safeguards, and there hasn't been $100 lost in the whole 100 years. So, after all, the clerks in that section of the treasury department haven't anything over the Camorrists who were shut up in steel cages every day. HE CUSSED WUSSER DEM HIM-YALLER MUSCER EBBER SEED -YASSER "So you cussed a little yourself during the argument?" "No sah, Jedge, ah ain't nevah cussed, hit war dat trifling Ajax wat and de cussing, all ah did was ter run him off." "How about you, Mythicology?" asked Judge Douglas of Ajax. "Ah ain't never seed him, Jedge; he ain't in cote." "I mean did you use the profanity as charged by Alexander." "Ah belongs ter de 'Tobeca class' of de fust African church, an' ah don't nevah use no 'fanny whatsumever. Hit are a mistake. Judge; dat nigger Alex he done,lied erbout hit." "In the language of a popular song, 'Somebody Lied in the case,' said the court, "as it appears from the evidence that 'cussing' was certainly done. You Alex, have displayed somewhat of the combative spirit of the ancient Alexander, who conquered the then known world, while you Ajax, have hardly come up to your mythological prototype, who defied the elements. "However, that is neither here nor there, and much as I regret the necessity of imposing a penalty on such distinguished personages, you will be required to deposit $5 each in the hands of Clerk Bill." tion is necessary, for in the spring the salmon is strangely delicate. So it is that weighing them is entirely out of the question. The government has for years hired a veteran fisherman to make the rounds of the weirs on the little power boat and keep account of the fish. All the man had to go by was his judgment, but he could tell by a glance at a fish, even in the semidarkness of the car, about what it would weight—ten, twelve, fourteen or perhaps sixteen or eighteen pounds. It was, guessing Perhaps the government officials in Washington didn't approve of paying out money by guess. Whatever may have been the conclusion, the government guesser has lost his job. Hereafter twelve pounds will be the fixed weight of every salmon paid for. It may weigh eight pounds or it may weigh twenty pounds, but the fishermen are to be paid for a twelve-pound fish and no more nor less. This weight is below the average, as the fish run, but, of course, the fisherman is not obliged to sell an eighteen or twenty pound at the twelve-pound basis to the government unless he chooses. He can send it to the markets. The government is buying 1,000 fish this year, which, at the twelve-pound standard will cost from $3 to $3.50 a fish ILL FIX THAT MOUSE An immediate investigation was ordered at which Assistant Postmaster Louis Robinson presided. Testimony was to the credit of the local office, and developed the following facts: No highly cultured civil-service cats were on the register. No cats of any kind had ever sought official appointment, though some were on the job. If any cat crusader ever finds his way on duty bent into the post-office he most likely will be lynched. The post-office cats have good records, and count their friends by the official register. When summoned before the investigating committee, the cats did not come. "Always hustling in the interest of the service," chuckled the division chief. Defective Page Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. Atlanta, Ga.

Honor Your Business It is surprising how many men there are who do not desire their sons or anyone else to adopt their calling. But is it wise thus practically to speak ill of your business? It is a good sign when a man is proud of his work or calling. Men are frequently heard finding fault with their particular business, demeaning themselves unfortunate because fastened to it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood. They thus destroy all their efforts in the work and keep shifting from one thing to another until they are finally failures in life. A man should put his heart into everything he does. There is no profession that has not its peculiar cares and vexations. No man can escape annoyance by changing his business. There is not any mechanical business altogether agreeable. Commerce is affected, like all other pursuits, with trials and unwelcome duties. --- Schoolgirls as Mountain Guides. One of the novel occupations that the summer tourist business has developed is that of a guide to the high points of the continental divide on the Moffat road, and this unusual avocation has been selected by Miss Grace Nelson, a Denver high school girl, who is spending the summer at Corona, at the crest of the continental divide. Miss Nelson has explored the region around the station on the top of the divide and is daily engaged in taking parties of tourists to see the emerald lakes that lie hidden among the shadows of the giant crags and across the white fields of snow which lie unmelted beneath the glare of the July sun. She has been able to add to her bank account during her vacation, besides paying all her expenses at the crest of the divide by this novel means of money-getting. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for over fifty years by millions of mothers for their children while teething, with perfect success. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic and is the best remedy for diarrhea. Soid by drugists in every part of the world.
