TEACHING A CHILD TO SEW.
LongSood, Va,
February %, 1901.


MAN. <of us remember our first
stitched at our mothers' knees. In
teaching child to sew, in the first
place. interest her by telling her Of the
articles she can make-dolly's clothes,
towels for The mother. handkerchiefs
for the father, and, later, she may
make an apron. skirt, ETC., for herself.
Give her work that will gradually grow
under her tiny fingers, and not long
seams that madden q nervous child.
Ten minutes ut o time will be long
enough if the little one shows any
restlessness or lack of interest, and
half An hour should be the limit. Fit
up little work-box, and put in it in .
little thimble, . small pair Of bluntIy
pointed scissors, two spools Of white
cotton, . tiny pin-cushion, and an
equally small needle.book with half =
dozen number seven needles in it, and
an emery cushion for rusty needles.
Commence with plain undsr.garment
fer the doll, cutting it out in two
pieces aud pinning the sides together.
Get soft muslin to make it easy for
baby fingers to handle. Give the child
needle to look at, lot her handle it,
and then take number forty cotton,
show her how to cut the end Of the
thread diagonally so as to make it go
easily through the eye OF the needle,
and how to roll the thread between tn
fingers il split at the end. Threading
. needle correctly. and making knot
in the longest end Of the thread lover

and compact will be sufficient for the
first lesson.

Difficulties of Mountain Mail Service.

The people who dwell on the plains
have but little idea of the difficulties
to be encountered in mountain re-
glons in carrying the United States
mail. In the mountains the snow
piles up to huge depths and the mes
as and upland plains are swept with
terrific Billiards, now and then, that
make travelling over them very dan
gerous work during .the winter sea-
son.
The mail route from this place to
Rudefeha is an example of what a
mountain mail contractor has to CON
tend with. Nels f. Anderson is the
contractor on that route and, so long
as the Ferris Haggarty teams were
using the road in the mountains, he
had no difficulty in making Rudefeha
on a sled in the winter months. At
present, since the Ferris Haggarty
teams have been pulled off, he is able
to get no further than the Elk Horn
saw mill with a sled even. As this is
still three or four miles short of the
top of the Divide, the rest of the dis
lance has to be made on snow shoes.
Mr.. Anderson says he is not able to
always make even the saw mill with
his sled. Last Monday morning he
took David Wilcox up with him to
place on the far end of the route.
Mr.. Wilcox will be equipped with
snow shoes and will make the trip up
from the mill to Rudefeha one day
and back the next, thus keeping the
line open. There will, however, be
some days when it will be worth a
mans life to even try to cross the Di-
vide on 10 shoes, for a snew storm
and blizzard at an altitude Of 1000
feet is a dangerous thing to tackle.

Their Monumental Gall.

Every newspaper-man has had
some experience with the self-ap'
pointed critic and general fault-fnd-
er who knows so much better how to
conduct a paper than the editor and
who takes occasion to air his know
ledge and vent his spleen on every
convenient occasion. He is generally
a l%oafer, a man without any settled
occupation, or, if he has an occupa-
ton or business, he neglects it to
stand around and tell how the Uni
verse should, (but is not,) run. He
is very quick to pick up any little
technical error that a newspaper may
make, initiate it Unto a mountain of error
and wrong-doing and swell up with
his w importance and ability and
tell what he would do if he We're run
ming a paper. Such men, while they
are SO quick to find fault, never dream
OF commanding a paper for any good
it may do. They are not looking
for a papers good points; they are
simply hunting for its weak places
and short comings, for that is the
kind of food they live on. They are
the human hyenas and jackalls that
live on the short comings and little
technical mistakes that others make.
1t is a pity that such men could not
be gathered up and placed in a stock
ade, where they could live on one
another, instead of stirring up strife
and dissension among ~peaceably dis
posed people.

City Improvement.

The city is building some new road
way out on River street, south. The
street has always been very narrow
there, opposite the Ferris Haggarty
hotel property, and, when the Bell
Telephone Company moved its poles
out onto the line of the sidewalk,
it necessitated the widening of the
streetto make it passable for heavy
teams. Small bolders from the river
channel adjoining are being hauled
in as a foundation for the soil that
will be put on as "A top dressing.
When this part of River street is put
in proper shape our thoroughfares
will be in fine trim. This part of
the city streets has always been in
bad shape and teams have stalled
there several times.

Shipments Resumed.

Shipments of ore and copper mat
ter from the Grand Encampment dis
trict has been resumed and Walcott,
the shipping point, has again assum-
ed an air of activity and prosperity.
A telephone message from w. l..
Evans, postmaster at Walcott, say
that on Tuesday carload of copper
matte from the Grand Encampment
smelter and a car of high grade ore
from the Doane Rambler mine were
loaded at that place for shipment to
Blue Island.
1t is expected that several carloads
of matte and ore will be delivered
weekly at Walcott for shipment from
this time on.
Civil Engineer j. G. Kennedy and
a corps of surveyors resumed work on
the railroad survey from Walcott to
Encampment Tuesday. They started
at Walcott and will work toward

The Work Of ! Ferret.

Mr.. Wilson, the man who runs a
restaurant ON the East side of the
river, has a pet ferret at his place.
Last Monday they missed the little
animal and, when it was rounded up,
it was found in Night Policeman
Taylor's chicken house, where it had
killed seven chickens. There was
CONSERVATION in one camp and wrath
in the other for a time. At this writ
ing we are unable to state whether
the ferret has been electrocuted or
not, but we do know that its life hung
by a very precarious thread.

The Gold Coin.

George W. Hilderbrandt and j. II.
Davis II the owners of the Gold
Coin, a very promising claim over be-
tween Jack creek and the Saverv.
Very recently the boys corralled So
600 and last week Mr.. Davis, in com
pany with a force of men and winter
supplies, started for the camp with
the intention of putting in the winter
developing the claim. They have a
very good showing for the work they
have done on it, which consists of a
shaft 45 feet in depth and about 10
feet of drifting.

quite a Little" and quite a Few"

One hears the expressions, "Quite a
little" and "Quite a few" on every
hand now, and they bid fair to pass
into our language and become stand
ard. 1t would not be of so much ON
sequence hal an ordinary person
should say: "Quite a few" when he
means quite a number" or Quite a
little" when he means Quite a good
DEAL" but one hears many of those,
who make pretensions to being edu-
Gated, making the same mistake.
These are expressions that e to
appeal to the uneducated man and
he uses them when he is DESTROYS of
talking extremely proper, not know
ing that each expression in reality
means directly to the contrary to
what he wishes to convey. When he
wishes to convey the idea that there
was a considerable amount of any
thing he says: "Quite a little" and,
likewise, when he intends to mean
anite a number of persons, or things,
he says; quite a few" The Ameri-
can people are prone to adopt just
such ungrammatical expressions with
out ever stopping to think-or care,
perhaps-how they sound.

Eastern Star Elects Officers.

The annual election of officers of
Eastern Star Chapter, No. II, held at
the Masonic hall last Wednesday, re-
suited as follows: Worthy Matron,
Mrs. Helen Judd Tilton; Associate
Matron, Mrs. j. W. Heather; Secre-
tary, Mrs. Glenroy Johnston; Treasu-
rer, Mrs. A. W. Eager; Conductress,
Mrs. George S. Adams; Assistant
Conductress, Mrs. G. w. Maxfield.
The appointive officers have not been
named but will be announced the
night of the installation, which will
likely be at the same time the Ma
sons install their officers. 1t was vot-
ed to have a public installation.

During the temporary shutting
down of the mining works at the
Meta milne, caused by the illness of
MIR. Riley, the lessee, some person or
persons Gent to the camp and stole
everything they could get their hands
on in the way of provisions and tools.
They also dismantled the engine and
machinery, taking off and carrying
away all the fixtures they could get
loose, many of which they could pos
sibly have no use for. 1t is amazing
that any one should do such work
and, if apprehended, they should be
severely deal with.

Elk Mountain Mines,

W. r. Wilcox, superintendent of
the Elk Mountain Mining Company,
was over Sunday for a load of sup
plies for his camp. He says they are
down SO feet on the new shaft on
that mine but have not yet cut the
assure vein on it. The shaft looks
better and is more mineralized with
each foot of depth. Mr.. Wilcox says
they are opening up a new prospect
southwest of the Elk, which shows
lion between porphyry and granite.
1t also carries both red and black OK
yde of copper as well as corbonates
of copper.

Masonic Election Of Officers.

There seems to have been a mistake
in the night appointed for the cleo
ton of officers for the Masonic lodge
at this place. Notices were sen out
to the brethren, naming last Tues
day, the 10th inst, as the time, but
upon consulting the Grand Lodge
laws it was discovered that the meet
ing had been called one week too soon.
The result Is that notices have been
sent out, notifying the brethren that
Tuesday evening, December 18th,
has been appointed as the time for
the election.

Presbyterian Services.

The services at the Presbyterian
church, under the auspices of Rev.
Rankin and Mr.. Lynch, continue to
attract large congregations and very
often some have to be turned away
for lack of seating capacity. There
is deep interest in the work and it is
believed that much good is being
done. The meeting for men only, at
3 o'clock last Sunday, drew a full
house and was the means of bringing
out many men who rarely v see the
interior of a church. Rev. Rankin
placed before them, in a very earnest
manner, their duties to the rest of the
community as regards their daily
life and conduct and their full res
possibility toward their own fam
lilies.
The meetings will continue until
Sunday, the 22nd inst at which time
Doctor Kirkwood is expected to lie
here.
On Tuesday Rev. Rankin and Mr..
Lynch began what is called cottage
services" that is, holding services at
private houses in the afternoon. The
first of these services was held at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. G. NJ. Will
cox and the one yesterday at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. George
III, Allen.

Hot Springs Hotel Not Closed.

There seems to be a persistent re-
port, circulating around the state,
and at prominent points in adjoining
states, that the Hot Springs Hotel at
this place is closed. This is very far
from truth. 1t is wide open and do
ing a very iourishing business and is
ready to accommodate all who come
toitsdoors. Two or three travelling men
who have come in the last day or so,
have stated that they were told, while
on the road, that the hotel had been
closed. Such reports are very inju-
rious, not only to the hotel, but to the
town as well.

Word From Dr.. and Mrs. Price.

A private letter from Mrs. DR..
Price, brings the word that they are
now living in San Antonio, Tex
The doctor had not been so we'll
in the climate of Kansas City and vi
cinity, but had improved sufficiently,
after arriving at San Antonio to sit
up for a short time each day and
they thought he would recuperate
rapidly in that genial southern eli

and n. r. Greenfield, attorney for
Tom Sun and Capt. Chas. O'Connel,
the petitioners in the r~eceivership
suit, went to Cheyenne Thursday to
interview Judge Scott in whose court
the suit is pending.
The terms of settlement of the suit
have been agreed upon but there is a
hitch on account of the manner of the
transfer of the property which Messrs.
Sun and O'Connel are to receive in
settlement of the case. They have
asked the receiver to issue the deeds
to them, while the defendants pro
prose to have the Grand Encamp-
ment Town company issue the deeds.
Receiver Clemmons will also take up
with the court the matter of the fees
he is to be paid for his services in the
case.
Capt. Chas. O'Connell and Attorney
n. r. Greenfield returned from Chey-
enne this morning. They succeeded
in effecting a settlement of the suit
