have often heard it said that a girl
never had but one mother; but l had
two. Five months ago | left my home
against my parents will and went to Cleal
Fork to teach. They were opposed to it,
because 1t was off the railroad and rather
a hard place to get to; and they were
afraid might get sick and, perhaps, would
not be properly cared for. But l felt
anxious to make some money myself, 50
l went. | boarded, or rather stayed, with
MIR. and Mrs. NJ F. Neel. The first two
months passed so pleasantly; | don't
know just how they managed to make
me feel so thoroughly at home, and so
happy. 1t didn't strike ME that they
made any effort, and still l was never
forgotten. If there was to be preaching
a mile or so away, was sure to be pro-
vided with a horse or a seat in the car
riage; and if | ever seemed home-sick
or low spirited, that good woman, that
other mother-always found a way to
drive those gloomy feelings away. How
often she would say &: "COme in the par
or and sing me song" or, Come il
my room and lets all sing some good old
songs tonight" How sweet, and clear
her voice sounded above all our voices.
But that voice is silent now; the woman
| learned to love like mother, and who
was mother to me, is gone, gone to q
home prepared for those that are good.
She was on her way to sit up with a sick
boy, when she was taken suddenly i'll
and only lived few hours. So our
bright, happy home was robbed of most
of its sunshine, and felt that had really
lost mother. But was not the Only
one that missed her She was woman
that to know was to love, and her place
can never be filed as wife, mother,
friend or neighbor.
May we, who knew and loved her, so
live as that We may one day meet her
in the Christian home, and renew the
songs Sic loved so well.

This morning at about eleven O'Clock
word came to town that the house of MIR.
II. g. Peery, half mile West of town,
was TN fire, and number of persons in
town hurried to assist in subduing the
flames. The first persons who got there
from town found the fire already put OFT.
1t had caught in the ceiling Of the ktch-
en-, and some wagoners who were passing
were called in and succeeded in suppress
ing the flames. Mr.. Peery carries no
insurance, and his escape from loss is for
him and his family, very fortunate.

FLOOR COVERINGS.

We have made second purchase of
mattings already this season-Thought
we'd bought enough the first time to run
us all summer. We were mistaken. The
reason is plain enough now. We are show
ing some exclusive patterns that are very
popular in jointless China Mattings, chats
the kind you should buy if you want
good matting), at prices less than the in
ferior grades bring some places.
When you look at mattings don't let us
forget to show you the Treadspring Carpet
Livingstone people call it "Walking on
Velvet" ask for either, we'll know what
YOU want. 1t sells for 8 cents the yard.
It's worth double that in saving the wear
on mating. We sell stair pads and
rugs too. Don't you think you'd better
come in and look around?

FESTIVAL OF MOUNTAIN AND a
PLAIN

PLAIN
At meeting of the Leadville
Board Of Trade set of ringing
resolutions were adopted, calling
for the abandonment OF the Festival
of Mountain and Plain in Denver
and asking the CO. operation OF all
commercial bodies in towns
throughout the western portion of
the state.
The resolutions set forth that
the festival was simply commer>
eial scheme upon the part Of the
mercantile interests OF Denver, and
that the money of the people was
carried to that city, that should be
spent at home. Another argu-
ment was that the railways had
fostered the holding of the festival
and without they gave very low
rates it could not be held.
Last year this paper took the
stand which is now being taken
in Leadville and was blacklisted by
the festival committee for its effort.
A vast amount OF money is every
year spent in Denver by the people
of the state, which should properly
go to home merchants, not that the
merchants at home are at all times
worthy of this patronage, but on
the general principle that home in
dustries should be fostcred.
If some great purpose was ac-
complished by the festival each
year there could not be created a
sentiment againt its celebration,
but it has descended into merely a
commercial project which benefits
Denver and hurts the business of
all other portions ofthe state.
We are not entirely ready to say
that the festival should be abandon>
ed permanently, but there should
be vacation taken for at least sev>
eral years.
Before the festival of Mountain
and Plain was ever heard of, this
city held an annual fall festival
Peach Day, and we believe it is a
fact that from the celebration of
that event and the consequent ad-
vertisement and success arose the
desire upon the part Of Denver to
celebrate in an annual fall festival.
All Of these festivals, Peach Day
being among the first, have suffer
ed materially through the holding
OF the festival and on first thought
we think that it would be wise up
on the part of Denver to let several
years go ty without celebrating
the event. Already there are a
number of prominent papers in the
state enlisted against the celebra-
ton, among them being the Lead
vile Herald-Democrat, Durango
Democrat, Ouray Silverite Plain
dealer and others. Individually
we think Denver would gain much
prestige by an abandonment Of the
festival. although we feel that we
have no right to go so far as to make
threats offanoy, if the people Of the
capital city still decide to hold it
again this wear.

The municipal government has
a great deal to do with maintain
ing the health and cleanliness of
the city, but there is an obliga-
ton upon private citizenship,
which they must not shirk, if they
would maintain a status of COED
health. This can be taken homo
by a good many property holders.

Petition k efuseL.

PARIS, Dec. 19.-The French govern ment has refused the petition of the American and British ambassadors re- Questing that the Passionist fathers and chapIains of the English speaking Cath olic church of St. Joseph be e!empt from the heavy tax which the special law i'm. poses religious bodies. The petition represented that the fathers discharged the duties of secular priests stationed in Paris solely to minister to the needs of the English speaking colony and that their withdrawal will be an irreparable loss to the colony. The church was built 30 years ago with English and American money, and the congregation is composed chiefly of English. Americans and Irish. The fathers have already contested the matter ill the courts. which have decided against them. The government has now seized St. Joseph's and the property of the fathers on the Avenue Hoche and threatens to sell them unless the sum of 20,OGO francs, arrears of taxes since 1898. is paid. The services, however, are Iot interfered with.

DISCUSSING THE TREATY.
Senate ln Executive Scssion-House
 District Legislation.

WASH1NGTON, Dee. 19.-The friends of the -Paunccfote treaty occupied nearly all of the time of the senate in eX- ecutiye session yesterday, Senators For alcr and Morgan being the speakers.
 Previous to the taking up of that trea- ty the senate, for the purpose of clearing it's calendar, disposed Of several other treaties of comparatively little impor- tancc. Five conventions in all were rati- fled. Among the documents thus dis posed of was an agreement supplement- ary to the Haypauncefote treaty itself and extending the time within which 1t may be ratified. I'nIer the terms of the original treaty the time for ratification expired five months ago. The agreement favorabiy passed upon yesterday extends the time until the -ith of March during which the treaty may be completed Sen ator Lodge, who had the matter in charge, manifested some anxiety over this treaty and evidently was somewhat relieved when it went through without q dissenting voice.
 The house devoted the day to District of Columbia business. The whole time was occupied ill lhe consideration of l bill to change the terminal facilities of the Pennsylvania railroad in this city and to provide for the elevation of it's tracks across the Mall south of Pennsylvania avenue. The opposition was persistent but after much flibuStering the friends of the bill succeeded in securing q recess until Il o'clock today in order to con- tinue the legislative day and complete consideration of the bill
