our passengers It was ..dearie this. =
and .dearie that They were SO taken
up with themselves that they did not
take notice OF anything that was going
on around them; and that of course
gave us more OF a chance to notice
them and have great deal of fun at
their expense.
It seemed that We almost flew over
the country. Time passed SO rapidly.
we were surprised when Uncle Tom
came in from the smoking car and
said. We'll, girls, we will soon be to
Denver"
..What" said we, tsAre we really in
Coloradopr
We finally reached Denver. and as
our train did not go up the mountain we
had to change cars here, and wait
sometime. So we all decided TO see
some thing of Denver-anythingstop pass
away the time. We were delighted
with the city and with our shopping.
which was done out of Curiosity as we
wanted to see the stores. We were also
surprised to find such large city here
and so fine one. When our train
was ready to take US up the mountain
we were all ready to go, and found
more beautiful scenery.
Colorado is noted for its beautiful
wild flowers, and going up the noun
tain seemed a continuous bed of flow
ers, SO lovely, but not the least bit
fragrant We had often heard and
read of those wonderful Rocky Noun
~ IL nd
how sublime! One could not help feel
ing exalted, elevated as we we're. On
and up we went! shall never forget
the many sights, in all their grandeur.
We reached our destination, and
we're comfortably situated in nice
boarding house, from which we had a
general view of the surrounding coun-
try. At the foot of one of the noun
tains is beautiful river. and between
that and the mountain is railroad,
which we could see from our window.
And how grand to see the trains as
they curved in and out of that beauti-
full spot. They did not look larger
than an ordinary trunk of tree here
in our country, from our window. But
the grandest sight among the Rockies
was. to me, the Holy Gross, which you
all have often heard of no doubt We
could see IL from our room window al
so. All the sights could not be seen
from our room, SO in order to get full
benefit of the scenery and mountains
we started to climbing the rugged
mountain side before we had been
there twenty-four hours. We found it
rather tiresome TO be sure, but we en-
joyed it. First one would fall; then;
one of us would run to her assistance
and both fall. But it was too laugha-
able to watch Uncle Tom; he must have
weighed at the very least $50 lbs, and
not an inch over feet high. Imag-
inc him trying to ciimb-why, [ can
even laugh to think of anything so
absurd! There were so many lovelyla-
dies out there we were afraid Uncle Tom
would fall in love with some of them.
but we arrived home safely with him.
We spent about a month among
these mountains and decided it was
time for us to return home: so
home we. came delighted with our
summer vacation. I think one of
our girls lost her heart out there. but
just SO we brought Uncle Tom home
safe We were all right.

from many windows, and excited yoic-

much talked of basket picnic day.
Wide-Awake Hollow was one of the
several small camps covering range
of ten miles under the supervision OF

was of mushroom growth, for less than
twelve months before the first settler
had ..pitched his tent" Since that
time other families had followed It'll

with the usual day labors. The Super
intendent had gained the confidence
and esteem of the settlers at all of the
camps, and as the Companiy's tenth
anniversary would be on the 21st of
August, had sent an invitation to each
camp to join in a union picnic-on

Colorado last year? But you mus
promise to be patient, for my friend:
cannot realize how enjoy talking O
that charming summer vacation.
| Well, we girls. q forgot to tell yot
that there were four of us), had made
up our minds to have a jolly good
time for once in our lives, after close
and tired work from September until
June. A good old friend, who shall
call Uncle Tom, asked US where We
were going to spend the summer; We
all exclaimed in chorous ..wherer
..Well," he said, young ladies,
supposed you have already your places
of resort in contemplation, but thought

would do you all a great deal OF good. .

SO far; it costs too much"
Suppose should inyite you all to

whatever.
..Oh! how good and kind of you. I'm
Gle Tom! now that is what call splen-
did; when shall we start?"
ssJust as soon as you can all get
ready"
Now, didn't we girls hustle? We
were all ready for the next train going
to Colorado; lunch baskets and boxes
we'll filled with all kinds Of goodies, for
we imagined we were going on a long
journey. We went by way of the Mo.
Pacific r. Il. We were so charmed
with the scenery! It was magnificent!
Each one pointed out points of interest.
but the best of it all was that we could
appeal to Uncle Tom, he being so we'll
acquainted with every portion of the
country over which we travelled; he
could tell us about all the principal
parts, which we found very interest
ing. After leaving St. Louis the first
city of any importance we came to was
jefferson City. As our train whiried
on through, we did not get much of a
view of that place. We travelled for
miles and miles along the well known
muddy stream" the Missouri River.
Our next city was Kansas City and
were all quite surprised to find this
city so large. Here we crossed the
line and leaving Missouri behind, we
whirled on into Kansas. He we found
extensive prairies on either side of US,
which must acknowledge | do not adj

mountainous country had something to
do with that. We were entertained
sometimes by Uncle Tom explaining
different things to US. but We We're
greatly amused with some of our fell
low travellers. At lass Uncle Tom left
as to ourselves. As he wanted to take
a smoke, be retired to the smoking
car.
Speaking of our fellow travellers, OF
course some got on. some got of. as
we went along. Sometimes quite large
crowds got on at the larger places and
how amusing it was to watch them.
We we're all just compelled to take a
good, hearty laugh sometimes to see
how some of them would act We felt
at liberty TO criticise any and all as we

the outward adornment of their houses not only thrift, but refinement as well. The hourishing town of Steinway, mon nment to William Steinway's benevo- lence, is a charmingly arranged place. It is furnished with every appliance that begets comfort, and fine public library, well stocked with 10000 choice books. shows how careful MT. Steinway is that the better part of his men-their inter- ests-shall not be overlooked. There are no idlers about Steinway, l.. I. The toil- CTS are all happy because they are con tented. The interest in the workmen in the Steinway establishments in London and In Hamburg are as carefully con served. There are other charities of which the public knows little or nothing, such as his endowment to churches and schools, the special education of about thirty worthy young men and women whom he hopes some day will become ornaments to the art of music.
 one other phase of Whitman Stein- ways character will interest Chicago people. That is his enthusiasm for the city by the lake and it's progressive men and women. Upon Theodore Thomas he looks with unmistakable pride and he 1ully sympathizesj with him in the work that he is doing for art life in the west
 Apropos to MT. Theodore Thomas Mr. Stelnway relates pretty incident The day before Rubenstein's return to Europe Cih iiiS idol NlSil lO lne OmIeQ SIaIeS, 1fu- Densteln, Steinway, Maurice Grau and two or three others dined together at the Cafe Brunswick in New York city, The conversation naturally drifted to musical art in America, and said Mir. Steinway: CT we'll remember these words that Rubenstein spoke: know Of but one orchestra that can compare with that of Theodore Thomas and that IS the orchestra of the Imperial academy or Farls, which was established by the first Napoleon in 1908. into which only artlsts, when young, are admitted, and they may have any number of rehearsals until they arrive at absolute perfection. It is that orchestra alone which Is as perfect as Theodore Thomas's, but, alas. they have no Theodore Thomas to con duct them.'"
 William Steinway is one of the worlds great men and one of the rich men of the country. His wealth is estimated at from $7,OOO,000 to $10000 900. His holdings belong to the class that augment in value rapidly. A few more years will almost double his wealth.
 He has not only built up in forty-fiye years an enormous business, with it's ac- eompanying social and political influ- ence, but by his broad philanthropy. his determination to do good, his constant effort to lift up those associated with him to a higher and happier plane of ex- 1stence, have won for him the honors of a public benefactor
 How much one man can achieve in forty-ive years of concentrated and in teillgent effort is eloquently demon- strated in the career of this remarkable ndlVlduallty. And throughout all his Duslness and social triumphs he has re- tained the charm of a sympathetic na- ture that wins him the affection of all who know him. -.

and women and children were not only allowed to bet openly, but their money was solicited by hired agents of the race track associations. Bad as all this was in it's effects on the pockets and morals of the race-going public, in which new constituency had been built up, It was aggravated by the crooked tactics of the bookmakers, who were not slow to take advantage of the new order of things. Bookmakers became owners and raced their horses in the interest of thelr books, winning or losing readily, as would most benefit them they corrupted jockeys, influenced" trainers and even had judges and starters in their power. For a long time the public was in ignor- ance of the facts, but as they gradually leaked out the decent element fell away and the tracks were left to enjoy the patronage solely of the disreputables, save on rare occasions, when some unu- sual racing event, in which there was promised something like a fair contest, would draw out decent-sized crowd
 Thus it happens that men of the stamp of the Keenes, Lorillards, Belmonts and others who are interested in having clean racing may get together in behalf Of an auction pool bill. That they have been able to accomplish nothing as yet is ow- ing to the hostility of the bookmaking element, which is still strong in horse ownership and track control, and conse- quently has an important voice in all turf affairs How bold these men are may be inferred from Peter DeLacey's open de- mand for $200000 as his price for stop ping the war he is making on the Morris park track. DeLacey is ostensibly in opposition to the bookmakers, but it is really against the track managers he is making his fight in retaliation for raids on his New York city bedrooms. In the objectionable features of his business and it's detrimental effect on honest racing DeLacey is just as much of handicap as the track bookmakers. Re lief will come when the decent horsemen get together, form new clubs and asso- citations in which the bookmakers will have no representatives, and then secure what legislation is possible in the way of making betting as inocuouS as possible. In this they will probably have the sup port of the trotting horsemen, with whom the bookmaking curse has thus far taken little root. It is a surprising thing, how ever, that the running horse and trotting horse people do not seem to have much in common in this line. While many of the largest owners and racers of thorough breds are on the turf purely from reasons of sport, and support stables year after year. often at a direct loss, most of the owners and handlers of trotters follow the races from motives of business only. They have either regulations to make for breeding farms, are campaigning ami mals into shape to sell, or have hopes of making a profit out of the purses and nOO1 hOx
