Now, while We have ride OF sixty miles

the west we see the top of "Old Badly"

Around the foot of It are many gold and
silver mines. To the north and behind us
is the Ration range. The Ration mountains
were lifted IN after the close of the period
known to geoloeists as the cretaceous.
The upheaval broke the strata and ele-
waited a vast bed of coal with the other
rock material. At Trinidad we crossed
the horizon of this coal formation. From
there TO the tunnel-the divide of the Ra-

the coal all the way-a rise Of 300 feet in
seventeen miles or an average of 100 feet
per mile.

OF agriculture in the person Of Hon. +. H.
Funston, Of lola. His friends are NOV

him for the position at the head Of the
agricultural department. he served sey-
eral years as "A member OF the state house

Have Been BOnrders.

Among the charitable institutions whica
Kansas City should be proud OF is the
Matte Rhodes mission. which is conducted
at 1909 Forest avenue. and is the result OF
hard work on the part of a society Of
young women in Kansas City. The mis-
sion is the day nursery, home where the
mothers who go out to work each day can
leave their children, feeling that good care
Will be taken of them and at cost of only
) cents n day. The nursery has been open
since February /, 1886. and the report
shows that the average attendance has
been about fifteen children day. and in
the $50 days which the nursery has been
open that the total attendance has been
S5SJ.
The nursery is in charge OF n matron.
On entering the building the first room
which is shown to the visitor is the chill
drens play room, the walls being covered
with a most appropriate paper illustrating
Kate Greenaway. The next room Is tie
wash room. where a row OF tiny basins
suggest that the appearance Of the chill
dren is looked after well as their amus.-
ment. In the dining room the chairs are
placed on the tables when not in use, ard
In the bedroom, where the children take
their afternoon maps, as none OF them are
kept over night. there is row Of shin
ing iron bedsteads with comfortable bed
ding neatly folded and placed at the foot.
In the kitchen the bill OF fare for every
dinner and supper is posted on the wall.
and plenty of good wholesome food is given
the children at every meal When night
comes they are ready for bed.
Or. Frank d. Askew. who was selected
to take charge Of the medical department
OF the home, In his report shows that
he has treated Gfty-seyen OF the little
boarders.
The society which is the founder Of the
day nursery were formerly known as the
GleaEers, but honoring the memory OF
their bencfaCtress, in January. 1884. the
society changed It's lame TO the Matte
Rhodes Memorial Society. and the first an
uuai election of officers took place. A con-
stltutiOn was drawn up and adopted. and
the societys funds. amounting to sJG578
were put On interest.
Plans had been made to open a mission
kindergarten. but it was later decided tho
day nursery would be a better idea and
the kindergarten was given secondary con-
s.derat!on. The members resolved after
the satisfactory establishment OF these two
departments. to adopt any line Of work
warranted by the needs Of the people and
b. the increased facilities OF the society.
II is thought, however. that a kinder-
garten will be established in connection
with the nursery. about January l.
