Invented by . European Woman hs Late
~ the Fifteenth Century,
In an interesting article on the
subject of Lace" In The Woman's g
Home Companion Orlena L. Shac-
kleford, after giving the history of
machine made lace, goes on to say:
Handmade lace has history far
more fascinating. Some have sup
posed that it originated in Egypt.
The land that gave birth to nearly
nll the arts, but search diligently as
you may and you will never dis
cover in mummy's tomb, on sculp-
tured or painted wall or in any
archaeological find whatever the
pictorial or actual remains of this
poetic tissue Neither is there docu-
mentary evidence of its presence
there. Gauzes and nets, fine mus
lins and exquisite embroideries,
fringes, knotted and plated, you
may meet with frequently, but this
fabric without foundation, this
ethereal textile, named by the Ital-
ians punto in aria (stitch in air),
you will never chance upon. Whyi
Because it did not exist before the
fifteenth century, because it was in
vented by the European woman,
forming her contribution to the re-
naissance, and as unknown to oricn-
tails, who have even now no love for
its pale pei fection and do not use it
in their costumes or in household
decoration Its lack Of color makes
it unlovcly' in their eyes.
"Fanciful stories have been woven
to account for the invention of the
art, and the honor has been claimed
by both Venice and flanders. Yet
it did not ut once spring into being
in full perfection. but was rather
an evolution and came by degrees.

ulated grounds or network We have

the pattern was darned in. and in
France it was called lacis, the near
est word we have to lace After
these efforts came n total emancipa-
ton from all foundations, and the
punto in aria was an assured fact.
The first lace, it is thought, was
made with the needle (point), the
pattern being traced upon parch-
ment or palpr, and the outlines
marked by thread caught now and
then to the paper to keep it in place
Upon this scaffolding the slight SUI
perstructure was built, and the
method Is still the same Soon aft

bins remain to this day the only
means employed to produce hand

TURNING AND aRlNplNa.

We have eur little tailinRs out aad areuaeats

And then wo mako 10 UP again. Thoy don't
amount to much.
But on ono subject anyhow. wore pil OF the
came mind
We all o. US don't wart to turn, and all do
wan, Grind.
I've heard about grindstone of labor sav
It only takes one person to turn It and to
grind.
You work a treadle with your foot, the same
ns mother sews,
ind fellow don't mind turning when he's
grinding, suppose.
But ours is not that kind Of ono. It nint that
we're asleep,
But moneys scarce and hard to get, and elbow
grease is cheap
Where there's half dozen elbows that are half
the time in sight,
Though mother puts on patches, l reckon, ev-
cry night
"Boys" father said the other day, "ono ching
you've got to learn
We can't all do tho grinding, for somebody
must turn.
OF course I'd like you all to be as smart as
folks are made,
But it isn't very likely that you will be, I'm
afrnidi
'And there's very few so stupid that they
really couldn't earn
Themselves an honest living II thoy'd just
ngroo to turn.
BY all means try for grinding, but own IL II
you find
That you can do tho turning, but amt smart
enough TO grind"
When father talks, he says IL. He likes to think
things out.
| see him smiling sometimes at the things he
thinks about.
When he comes in from the plow1eld, he don't
tell you how he aches.
He tells you something queer he's seen, Of
birds or boasts snakes.
It's only in the winters We have time to go to
school
But we dig at it, tell you, and l hope I'm net
fool
And the thing VIC talk tho most about, the
thing we hope to do,
In race that's FREQ to every one, is what I'm
coming to.
Well keep our eyes wide open, IL we'ro only
fit to turn.
Well look for the best way there Is, and that's
tho ono we'll learn,
But think how mother and father'd feel il they
should one day find
That every single son they had was smart
enough to grind!

Alleged Gotham Dialect.

This contributor, however, is not
deaf TO the dialect of the born New
Yorker. THE New York boy, city
born and bred, can be detected in q
moment by the peculiar way in
which he pronounces tho 'ur' sound
in such words as birth, bird,
earth and heard The
queer little twists that enter so
largely into tho language in mar1ing
one of the cardinal sounds that COM
pose it are thus expressed in Gotham
tongues: 'Ur-yith' is how a New
Yorker says EARTH hurry for
heard, and 'mur-yid. dor fer 'mur-
der. Those OF us who were born in
New York have heard the public
schoolteacher insisting upon this
peculiar twist. Most OF US, too, have
heard nice, careful little girls on
the way homo from school correct
ing careless companions by insist
ing that you mustn't sny burd; you
must say it nicely, bur-yid. Dos

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs Of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court Of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue Of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins.
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority Of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
With which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort TO
make it so is unconstitutional and
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, iac,A
and truth, concerning this almost sac-
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power Of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.

Lippincott's: Potatoes, native to
Peru. We're discovered by the Spaniards
in the neighborhood of Quito, where
they were cultivated by The natives.
Condor, a monk, first introduced them
into Spain, whence they passed into
Italy and thence to Belgium. Hum
boldt says that at the discovery they
were cultivated in all the temperate
parts Of the continent from Chill to
New Granada, but not in Mexico. In
1855 potatoes were taken from North
Carolina and Virginia, on the return
CT the colonists sent out by Sir Walter
Raleigh, and were first cultivated on
his estate near Cork. The sweet Do
tatoes, native of the West Indies. were
given to Columbus by the natives of
Cuba. They were introduced into Eng
land by Sir Francis Drake. who wrote
of them in praise, but forget to send
instructions to eat only the root The
gardener of Queen Elizabeth planted
them, and ate some Of the tops. Being
disguised by the taste, he pulled up
his crop, made fire of the pile. was
attracted by the pleasant odor of the
burning tubers, picked up a root. ate
1t, and, being pleased with the taste.
continued the cultivation and intro
duced them to the notice of others.

not friends of the human race. They
are the Golhs and Vandals who. if
they accomplish their purposes, will
destroy all that is best in our civiliza-
ton. 1t was by travelling painfully up
ward to God that the savage became
man. The records of the world show
who it was that took the race upward;
it was men of supreme faith. That is
something which is required to make
leaders. Without faith there is no
hope, and with no hope energy be-
comes impossible. The world is not
going to be bettered by blasphemers;
it will not be aided by cynical doubters;
canting hypocrites will not ameliorate
it. and tricksters have no place. on the
highway of progress. When the world
becomes better, it will be through the
efforts of men who have convictions
and who live up to them.
The young men of today will be in
their prime in the Goth century, and it
will be their mission to mould the
destinies of the world. 1t is essential
that the hands be strong, the brain
clear, the head steady, that the mem
DRY be a spur to more strenuous effort.
Just now you are deciding in your
own way what your value will be to
society. Soon the verdict will be given
and it will be beyond repeal

Telluride Power Camp Visited by the
Watsons.

Provo, Nov. 14.-There were mutter-
ings on the street last evening that
there was a likelihood of trouble COM

tween the Watson Bros. gang and the
power plant people, who still have pos
session of the trucks and drays taken

The power gang had made their camp
for the night at Gillespie's place, about
two miles from the mouth of the can
yon. Everything was quiet from the
outside until about o'clock this morn
ing, when the boys were startled by the
approach of horsemen. 1t was the Wat
son crowd. They came quietly UP and
demanded their property, but were in
formed by ]. W. Beesley, a man who
stands six feet four inches in his stock
