MAN IN SOCIETY.
The Neglected "Mister, Is Beginning to
Receive Recopnitlon.

The Neglected "Iister'' Is Beginning to
Receive Recognition.
Every season brings certain changes
In etiquette-little variations in card
leaving and entertaining by which the
elect may recognize their own. One
new departure of this season is the
fashion of issuing all invitations in
names of both host and hostess. I'm
til now, lovely woman has reigned SUI
preme on the Eat home' card, and the
name of the mere man was never men
toned unless it were a dinner invita-
tion-a survival from the days when
the host was an important person be-
cause he carved. Dinner la Russo
has long since robbed him of his I'M
pleasant prerogative, so that he is
quite as useful. or more so. at after
noon tea than he is at dinner Every
invitation arrives with "Mr. and Mrs"
at the top. Why this is so is impossi-
BILE to say, except perhaps that the
married couple are anxious to let their
friends know that they are still living
together. Whatever the reason, how
ever, the result will doubtless be good,
and the plainest and shyest of men will
have blown out into attractive hosts
under the feeling that they are bound
to show up at their own parties, and
do their share in the entertaining.
Crushes are no longer in favor. The
mere love of examining room with
crowd of people is among the things
of the past. Small, select parties are
much better style, when no one is
asked who has not some raison d'etre.
Very little music is being given at
parties this season. Hostesses recog-
nize that people want to talk, and are
only too thankful to be let alone. In
PRODUCING has not been very fashion
able; the most popular hostess as a
rule, is she who let her guests find
their own friends. "The hostess who
worries you," mere man declares, is
luckily getting unpopular, and people
only like to patronize the salon of the
chatelaine who has mastered the great
art of letting her guests alone" The
number of entertainments given in ho-
tells and smart restaurants is one of
the growing signs of the laZiness of
modern life, and the tendency to cen
tralize in all things. People are thank
full to be saved trouble at any cost,
and giving parties in hotels saves an
illimitable amount of calculation on
the part of the hostess. No mere man
need to make elaborate calculations as
to the amount of food and drink re-
quired, no troublesome consultations
with the cook, the whole matter is
taken out of the entertainers hands,
and attended to by an all-knowing ho-
tel manager. The house is not turned
upside down, nor the servants driven
to distraction by unaccustomed duties.
These entertainments at hotels have
species of novelty about them which
make them acceptable to the guests,
and they give the minimum of trouble
for the hostess.-St. Louis Globe

Ruler of Montenegro.

Prince Nikola I. of Montenegro, will
celebrate his fortieth anniversary in a
few weeks. The Montenegrins, the
Servians and the Slavs of the Balkans
will participate in the celebration. The
prince is one of the most remarkable
of all the European rulers. Only 300,-
900 people are under his command.
Their ancestors, centuries ago, sought
refuge from the barbarous Ottoman
hordes in the impregnable natural
fortresses of the Monte Negro. Prince
Nikola, in a comparatively short time,
succeeded in making his land an ideal
one as regards military training, Gull
ture and wise government. Under his
fatherly ruling, Montenegro has be-
come the strongest factor of all the
Balkan states.

Great Battles of
History%
VICTORY NOT
AL WAYS ON THE
SIDE OF THE
HEAVIEST RATTZLIONS

Romans. When their followers were
not fighting one another during the
siege they were opposing the Romans.
Vespasian and Titus cast trenches
about the city, not one stone was left
upon another of their beautiful temple
as the Savior predicted, and LOO, 900
Jews persisted in that awful holocaust.
In the Russian campaign Napoleon
lost 475,000 men. His legions melted
and died under the falling snowfaks.
The naval battle of Lepanto between
the Christians and Don John of Austria
and the Turks was one of the fiercest
contests of the middle ages. The Chris
tians numbered $4,000 and the Turks
100000 men. The Turkish fleet was de-
stroyed. its commander killed and the
Moslem naval power was crushed on
the Mediterranean. =,
At Waterloo Wellington had 10000
men and 159 cannon. Napoleon con-
fronted him with $4,000 men and 24O
cannon. Napoleon claimed he had We'll
lington in his grasp. But he was fac
ing destiny. A rainstorm of the night
before wrought havoc with the move
ments of his artillery. Grouchy failed
to come up. According to Victor Hugo,
the sunken road of Cham ruined the
charge of Napoleon's cavalry. When
the night came Napoleon was fugi.
tive.
In the Boer war the battles of Tuge-
la will be considered memorable. Jou-
bert, with 1000 Beers, defeated Butler,
with $4,000 British, and drove them
across the Tugela river three times.
This is one of the most notable battles
of our time and denoted the invincible
genius of the South African general.

THE COMING
MINING CAPITAL.

Big mountains seem to produce big
men, and to this rule Ouray is no ex-
ceptlon. One would hardly look to q
gold mining camp to find solution of
the labor problem, and yet at the
Camp Bird mine, referred to before,
the relations of employees and owner
are we'll nigh ideal. At the tunnel
mouth, nine miles from town, and
within few feet of timber line, Mr..
Walsh has built boarding house for
his men that cost over $4,000, and it
is equipped with all the conveniences
and luxuries of a city hotel. A well
furnished library, billiard rooms,
bowling alleys and bath rooms are free
to all. The kitchen is presided over
by as capable chef as money can
procure and all of these Accommodations
and comforts are as free to the new
est and greenest laborer as to the
manager of the whole concern. When
one remembers that in addition to this
Mr.. Walsh pays his men the very high
est wages given for this kind of work
he is not surprised to learn that labor

known.
A description of Ouray, without
mention of Box Canon, would certain
ly be repeating the play of Hamlet
with the hero left out. Bottle" Canon
would be a more appropriate name for
this marvellous freak of nature. Photo
graphs of it are numerous, but they
convey but most imperfect concep-
ton of it's grandeur. The twilight
gloom, the deafening roar of falling
water, the little streak of blue sky
seen thousands of feet overhead and
the great black walls carved into most
fantastic shapes by the waters Of ten
thousand years unite to inspire in the
beholder sense of his own littleness
compared with the mighty forces Of
nature as not even the mighty Niagara
can do.
Involuntarily we raise our hats and
remain uncovered as we gaze, and the
most skeptical can not help exclaim-

When Napoleon said providence is
always on the side of the strongest bat
talions," ne proved the falsity of his
own precept on his last battlefield. 1t is
not without interest to see how this
applied in some of the worlds great
battles. At Marathon there were 200,-
900 Persians confronting 1000 Greeks.
The Persian army was routed and the
invasion of Greece was ended.
xerxes moved on Greece with his
army of millions. Leonidas with his
immortals met them at Thermopylae,
and held the Persians in check, but not
until the heroic Spartan and his fol-
lowers were killed. Subsequently, at
salamis. Themistocles met the Per-
slams in a naval battle. Xerxes watch
ed the struggle from distance and
went over the destruction OF his army.
Under Hezekiah Jerusalem was men
aced by $4,000 Assyrians who threat
oned TO ruin the city. Not one Assy-
Ran soldier saw Jerusalem. At eau
eamela Alexander the Great,Hwith A.
600 men, fought 100000 Persians un-
dor DARIUS. The Persians were routed
and Darius assassinated by one Of his
satraYs.
The siege of Jerusalem was the
ploomiest event in the history of man
kind. In A. d. 20 the temple of Herod
was lust completed. The Jews We're
never SO naughty and so patriotic. They
were never so disorganized. Innum-
cradle factions divided them. But the
feast Of the Passover and the common
danger enabled Vespasian and Titus to
shut them up in the city. John and ST.
mon, their partisan leaders, hated each
other rs cordially as they hated the
