Those four hundred snow shovelers
from Aspen last Sunday, will not IN our
opinion have tho sin Of Sabbath dssecra-
ton charged against them on tho big
book. Tho schools in Aspen would not
have opened on Monday, tho mines
would have been flooded, hundreds of
people would have actually suffered from
cold had not these noble fellows come to
the reccue and made it possible for coal
to be hauled in over the Midland
BasdH Journal.

Tho week ending Saturday, February
II, will be remembered a. the coldest
and most destructive seven days in the
history Of Colorado since railroads be-
came an important feature in the trans
portation Of supplies to and from the
mining centres in the mountains.
B;oekades from drifting snow, slides,
avalanches and disaster have made this
period phenomenal to the Oldest inhAbi-
tant, whose stories Of hardships endured
in the carly sixties must give place to
the realities Of February. 1899. While
the suffering. delay and expense to bust
mess have been very great, there u .
bright side shown in tho many acts Of
heroism and generous daring undertaken
to rescue or relieve whore danger was
imminent. and it is at such times and
under such conditions that manhood
steps to the front and asserts its power
in generous relief to suffering, where
there was no blare Of trumpet and no
thought Of other reward than the con-
sciousness Of duty well dons.-Mining

Why is it that men ridiculs women 90
about shopping, They are tho
subjects Of all sorts Of jokes and are con-
stantly tauntsd for shopping By those
who pretend to care for them. One |
would think that the chief end and aim |
Of every woman's existence was to visit
stores and buy things she does not need.
just because they are advertised a. bar

their shopping propensities. Men think
they enjoy it. This is not true with the
average woman, she invariably has
headache after a morning spent in the
stores and is tagged out completely. 1t
is mans business to make money and .
woman's basiness to spend it. She docs
not do her duty as housekeeper unless
she knows how to spend money judici-
ously, wisely and well. Men would stop
WHITING women about shopping IL they
were sent to match some peculiar shade
Of thread or material oftener. 1t has be-
come the habit for men to think and say
that shopping is q woman's best loved
and most foolish pastime, and it will be
a long time before public sentiment in
regard to this pastime is changed. Each
woman must do little home missionary
work among the men folks and convince
