TIE HELPING HAND.

How to make young people do what they ought to do, and what their par ents ought toIave done when young but didn't, is a problem that greatly trou- bles parents, teachers and others who have the management of the young. Spare the rod and spoil the child" said wise old Solomon, but he probably didn't mean that the rod was to be in continual use. A writer in the Balti- more Sun has something to say about this important matter which is worth general attention. He points out that while reproof for wrong doing is usu- ally considered the chief means to be employed in correcting the faults of young people, and reproof is, of course, necessary at times, encouragement generally employed than it is. Parents and teachers do not always credit trou- blesome boys with the sensitiveness they possess, nor realize that harsh up- braidings tend to make them callous or indifferent The boy who seems to care nothing for scolding may, in- deed, care a great deal and be brought to a feeling of despair by continual fault-fnding. On the other hand, he may be extremely sensitive to the en- couragement derived from praise of his work and have his course of life changed by judicious stimulation of his desire for improvement. It is related of one boy who appeared to be SC in- corrigible that a school committee af- ter considering his case authorized a district school master to expel him.
 that his teacher had faith in him, and when the boy learned of this confidence he began to do better and soon became 8 model pupil. His course had been changed by kindly encouragement, and after he had left school he continued to improve and advance himself. Thrice elected Governor of New York, he was sent 10 the senate or the OnlLeu SIdteS and under one President was Secretary of War and under another Secretary of State Yet William L. Marcy was at one time so far behind in his studies and so troublesome in his conduct that school committee recommended that he be expelled from school. At the critical moment he was given a word of encouragement, and from that time his course was altered. The neg ligent pupil became attentive; increase of knowledge made his tasks easier; his ambition was aroused and he made for himself a distinguished career
 There are many other boys of whom a similar story might be told if one could

REFORaT TN SEATTLE.

A wave of reform has struck Seattle and struck 1t hard. Gambling in tHai thriving city hasn't been conducted just as 1t ought to be, but there has been change. The leading newspaper of Seattle reports that the gamblers have paid into the municipal court over $3,000 in fines in two months. During the two months, the paper saws. "there has not been a row in Q gambling hall or a complaint of crook ed games,'' while "the city has been reaping an abundant harvest, and at the same time the merchants, the res taurants and hotel keepers have had the benefit of trade that means ready cash and free expenditure for the best that the market affords" As further evidence that gambling houses which can be raided and fined periodically are desirable things for a city, it is stated that "the police have not received a complaint concerning tr1ckery in a gambling house, or been called upon to remove an intoxicated man or quell a disturbance;' that minors and persons with small incomes and having a fam fly to support are not admitted; that the gambling rooms are not unduly conspicuous, being above the ground f1oor--though there is mild criticism for those who maintain an arc light as a sign; and finally it is proudly claimed that "there is not another city in the United States where gambling is con ducted better than it is in Seattle"
 Seattle seems to be all right as a gambling town, but we don't believe it has as well-conducted pugilistic shows as New Haven has.

ANOTHER WEEK.

Safely through another week." and no war yet except in the New York Stock Exchange, where there are fierce battles with great losses to those who have guessed wrong. The flood or news" and opinions continues, but as all of the opinions are promptly con- tradicted, and most of the news" it is impossible to tell what the real situa- ton is. There is no sign yet that war there are several signs that the gov- ernments of this country and Spain are doing their best to avoid war while prudently preparing for it. The report of the court of inquiry is expected this week. One of the stories is that Pres ident Mckinley will not send to con- gress e special message on the report of the court when he calls upon Spain to assume the responsibility for the disaster and pay an indemnity. He will settle this matter himself, and it is only if Spain proves obdurate and refuses to make even such poor rep aration as paying heavy indemnity that President Mckinley will lay the facts before congress and recommend that the independence of Cuba be rec ognized. This story isn't as warlike as some of the stories are, though it is quite as plausible. But speculation as to what is going to happen is not very profitable It will be wiser to wait qui- etly until it happens.

learn the right moment to give them a helping hand instead of trying to drive them by upbraidings. Sooner or later the troublesome boy will gain all the wisdom of his elders, will see the folly of his early days, and, perhaps, bitterly regret that he did not take their advice in time; but he cannot be expected to have an old head on young shoulders, and the best we can dc with him is to lead him in the right way. This can be done more surely in some cases by words of encouragement for good deeds than by words of reproot for evil tendencies. It is, in fact, eX- tremely doubtful whether any one is ever led to do right simply because he has been told that to do otherwise is wrong. There must be some active de- sire to do right-not negative avoid ance of wrong--to build up good char acter. Admonition may help one to avoid the wrong, but the helping hand of encouragement is needed to inspire e desire for good. Especially in seem ingly hopeless cases, where, in spite of lectures and coercive measures, studies are neglected and time wasted
 trial should be made of judicious en- couragement and a substitution of cheering words for complainings. If boy can only be started right, with his ambition aroused, he will take care | of himself after that. The helping hand may be rejected again and again, but it should never be withheld.

one dress of it, if properly planned and supplied with accessories. will make a good foundation all by itself for a summer wardrobe. For dressy wear just now checked taffetas are admira- ble material, though of course these weaves are best suited to youthful wearers. Sketched here is a dinner dress for young woman, which was made of pink blue and green checked taffeta and the shades being delicate, the result was extremely attractive. Its bodice bloused slightly in front and hooked invisbly at the side, The yoke was made of bands of tucked null and valenciennes insertion, and had col lar of the dress goods and frilling of white net at the lower edge. This was finished with collarette trimming of the silk trimmed with valenciennes edged ruffle, the whole extending around the back. On the skirt were two lace-edged silk rufTles.
 Spangles and jewels are again abun- dant among the newest trimmings, though it is so short a time since they last were fashionable that it is difficult to feel that such garnitures are strik- ing novelties. Of them, nevertheless, there is a regular deluge, or, rather, there are whole consultations of them, and they are positively to be worn on everything. Ribbons which are more popular then ever, to be quite right must blaze with rows of jewels or with encrusting of spangles in scale-like closeneSs. Spangles are on stockings, shoes and slippers, hats are ablaze with them, whole bodices and skirts twinkle with them, and they flash on some cor sets They are not on understands yet, nor on night dresses, but who knows what will happen next?

But the records of the large cities make a still more interesting showing.

ACTING WISELY.

ACTING on the RECORDS sngges-
ton that fence around the bicycle
track would be profitable invest
ment, the executive committee hav-
ing Fruit Day matters in hand last
night voted TO have an S-foot board
fence built enclosing the grounds.
This will necessitate the charging Of
an admission fee to the bicycle races
on Fruit Day and viii be source Of
considerable revenue. The RECORD
believes the time has come when
Canon City's annual celebration should
be made self-sustaining or nearly so.
There is no disccrnible reason why it
should not become SO. 1t Is a notice
able fact that entirely free entertain
ments are seldom of a satisfactory
character. But put price on what
a person is TO enjoy and its import
ance at once magnifes. There is no
question about the races that will be
given by the l.. A. W. on the 10th
and 10th Of September, but TO give
them free, on an open track where
men, women and children would be
crowded together in conglomcrate
mass, quarreling and scuiiling for
place, would detract interest 10 such
an extent that everyone would 20
away disgusted with the perform
ances and ready TO declare that the
races We're frauds. The RECORD con-
gratulates the executive committee
on its foresight and good Judgment
in this matter, and feels certain the
gentlemen themselves, nor the citi-
zens at large, viii ever regret the de-
cision. The track being a standard
bicycle course, and We are proud to
add. one of the best in the west. will
naturally draw the attention of wheel
men from all over the country, event
ually bringing large meets here.
Therefore, it will not only be good
thing for our Fruit day celebrations,
but will add to the popularity of the
city generally. The executive COM
mittee should bend its efforts to still
further devise money-making schemes
to the end that our business men may
gradually be relieved from the burden
OF furnishing all the funds to carry
on the affair.

a FRUIT WAGON.

Canon has been invited to join in
the Colorado Springs Flower Carnival
by sending up something of a fruit
nature for the flower parade. If
Canon has desire to send float TO
any of the state celebrations she
could not do better than select the
Colorado Springs festival. In par
ade of flowers and blooms fruit feat
ure would be very noticeable and ap-
propriate, and it would be seen by the
class of people Canon should court.
Neither would it be lost in the great
ness of the occasion as are small feat
ures at the Denver carnival. Canon
could certainly get great deal Of
very good advertising out of sending
a handsome fruit float to the Springs
for this carnival.
