Where Women May No. PRIV.

There Is Il practically universal pro-
hibltion against women praying In Mo-
countries. They are not
admitted beyond the thresholds of the
mosques; but. on the other hand. the
Koran distinctly encourages women to
pray In private. Some Hinhoo congrc.
cations deny the privilege of prayer to
their women altogether. Among the
Ainu, a race supposed to he the abo.
rhymes OF Japan, women are not per-
United to pray or offer sacrifice except
In rare eases ms the deputies of their
husbands. The reason for this prac.
tice IN that the Ainu women are not
supposed to possess souls. ana there
fore their prayers would he quite un-

agascar women are permitted to pray,
but only to the powers OF eva. a kim,

permitted to address prayers directly
to the Supreme Being.

NEED OF A HOSPITAL.
Florence an Ideal Place for a
Health Resort.

The need of a sanitarium or hos
pital in Florence becomes more
and more apparent every day.
Cases are often called to the at
tention of THE TRIBUNE and often
times people who come here from
the East for their health have to
secure a stopping place which is
far from being either suitable or
comforta BILE.
Not long since a lady came here
from indianapolis in an advanced
stage of consumption; she came to
Florence on the advice of her
physician, who had before sent
patients to this place and found
them much benefited by their
stay in our salubrious climate.
This lady in particular was unable
to secure a suitable boarding place
because she had consumption,
and of course boarding houses
refused to take her because she
was so sick, in fact had to be car
ried from the train. Her daughter.
in-law left her at the depot while
she sought boarding place, and
after some three hours search
found private house where the
patient was admitted and given as
good care as possible upder the
circumstances.
There are several other cases
which might be mentioned but it
is useless. What Florence needs
is a frst-class sHnitarium and
there would be no trouble in Sc
curing for it plenty of patronage

spring which would make an ideal

MASS MEETING OF
MINERS CALLED
Meeting 10 be Held ar Mine En-
trance Tomorrow Morning.
THE NINE WILL BE IDLE

The miners union at Coal Creek
has posted notices at the mouth of
the Garfield mine and also in
different places in town calling for
general mass meeting of all the
men employed there to be held at
the mouth of the mine at 7 O'Clock
Thursday morning, the day that
the new scale goes into effect, for
its consideration This call is
made general for the employees of
that mine. Joe Ball, division
superintendent for this district of
the Colorado Fuel d Iron com.
pany, will be on the ground to
explain more fully the system of
fered Frank Strong, correspond
ing secretary of Coal Creek local,
was in the city last evening and
says there is division of senti-
ment among the miners as to its
acceptance, but the majority of
the leaders are willing to ask for
larger pay, claiming that thirty
five cents, the amount offered, is
too small This will be talked
over tomorrow morning at the
meeting Another point will be
the general discussion of handling
six inches of dirt without pay, as
per offer submitted
The local union of that town
met last night and decided that the
subject of the scale would not be
distressed there, on account of the
meeting to be held tomorrow
morning. The sentiment among
the miners this morning, it is
learned by telephone, is to select a
committee to wit upon the head
officials at Denver and present
their grievances. 1t WAS also
learned today that Mr.. Ball is
quoted as saying that he could not
deviate from the schedule sub
mitted, aud considering this, the
men will seek an interview with
higher officials
1t was learned today that nearly
all the sidetracks between Florence
and Leadville and those between
Florence ard Cripple Greek are
well stocked with coal from the
Garfield mine. The company has
not made many new shipments to
consumers lately, but has been
preparing for the results of this
new scale.

MIST CHANGE.

: Itis up to the farmer of the west ana
northwest to pay to study how to-
make money on land worth $500 per
acre. 1t is new proposition to the avs
erage man and makes him scratch his
head. Old methods will have to go-
that much he sees-but it is not easy
for him to adapt himself to new onesj
He always has used thirty-five dollaE
scrub bulls and still looks upon 1t as o.
wanton waste of good money to buy a
two hundred dollar animal. He has ala
ways sold most Of his grain and hay
crop and is afraid to feed 1t all out
and lot more with it on his farm. He
has always had a contempt for book
farming and college professors and
hates to own up that either books or
professors know more than he doesl
He has always run his farm by guess
and by gum and never knew whether
he was making dollar or not unless
he had few dollars left after hts
hired help, grocery and machinery
bills were paid. 1t worries him that
he has got to change. learn in new
school and adopt entirely new methi
DDS of agriculture. But he'll have to or
quit, not the least doubt about that. ri

WHERE WATER DOES HARM.

There are sections of the west and
northwest where the reception Of
enough rainfall to make luxuriant
growth of grass and good crops of cel
reals is little short of a positive mis-
fortune in that it tempts home seekers
and settlers to buy such land and att
tempt to farm the soil in the same
manner as in the states farther east
where the rainfall is uniform, sufficient
and dependable. Such q condition pre-.
walls this season, the rainfall being
ample and the crops good well over
into the so called range country. The
abnormal eagerness to secure cheap
land, which Is developing into craze
all over the northwest, is carrying hun
dreds of settlers over the danger line,
and they are paying all the way from
S. to $15 per acre for land which expe-
rience proves should be never touched
with the plow. There is absolutely no
truth in the claim so often made that
settlement and cultivation of the soil
induce and promote an increased ay-
erage rainfall. This fad was thorough
ly exploded in the history Of western
Kansas and Nebraska years ago. :szj

What are the people doing now?"

"Everything's quiet just at the

"Was takin' look for the Jimtown

up his lines. I'm goin' back now to
get little rest before the trying
times that are to come tomorrow"
Guy arose quickly, leaped out of
the squire's carriage and climbed
into Pettibone's.
What are you going to do, Her.
bert?" cried Vlandingham.
I'm going to Concord" said Guy,
with determination, "and I don't
want you to run any needless risk
by trying to take me further. 1 am
much obliged to you for bringing
me this far, squire"
Don't do anything rash, my boy"

not go to the hotel, but accepted the
sheriff's invitation to remain at his
house, where they arrived safely aud

CHAPTER XIX. (Continued !,

CHAPTER XIX. (Continued.)
1t was all very well for Miss Betty
to talk of 'the rigor of the game"
The prime incentive in every game
is success, and when the ballots were
counted and it was found that Am
ityville had cast deciding vote for
Concord, he would see then whether
Miss Betty would take defeat as
'gloriously" as she would have taken
better fortune. 1t would be bit
ter triumph for him if it cost him
her favor. Yet if she had not spoken
those words in spirit of raillery-
in short, if she really meant them
how Incompatible she would be-
come in his eyes! AS Pettibone had
said, he could go to her and offer
her ''dower" interest in his town.
And then, if she would accept! His
heart leaped at the thought and his
mind winged slsyward in sweeping
dreams.
That night they were in the coy
parlor just as they had been exact
~ two weeks before Miss Betty
was at the piano and Guy stood be-
side her turning her music. The
squire was engaged with his paper.
Since the young man had come to
the house that second time the coun-
ty seat question had not once been
mentioned. AS during his first visit,
father and daughter were making it
plain that while he was their guest
Z there was to be no discordant note

lighted at this, for there was a
charm in observing Miss Betty as
the light and center of her fathers
home If her shrewdness and cour-
age had pleased him in the political
iel1 how much more was he attract
ed by her domestic accomplishments.
Guy was watching Miss Betty's
white fingers fit over the keys. and
now and then exchanging soft
word in which his passion throbbed
dangerously near the surface, when
there came sudden interruption
"A lusty poiea outside gave an alarm,

spect for your courage. but really
I'm afraia you'll be in some danger
if you go over there just at pres
emit. Wait till morning, anyway"
"No, squire" returned Guy, firmly.
II must go tonight"
And go he did, needless alike of
the protestations of Miss Betty and
her father.
AS he and the squire travelled
quickly out of Concord, bells were
ringing, horns were blowing, guns
were firing and the joy was spon-
taneous and unconfned.
When the travellers first glimpsed
the twinkling lights Of Concord they
likewise discovered blot of shadow
lowering in the road directly ahead.
On drawing nearer, the blot was re-
solved into horse and carriage with
man in Silhouette on the carriage
seat. The rig was at standstill and
looked most ominous.
why, it's Pettibone!" exclaimed
Guy, as they came in line to pass.
He had recognized the high stopper
and its driver by kind of instinct.

Mr.. Vlandingham drew rein.
"Is that you, Herbert?" inquired
the sheriff.

"Glad to hear it. Never had any

that skirmish and seeing you tun-
BILE into the road. Where are you

Take my advice and turn back"
"Why?"
ut won't be healthy for you to go
there, that's why. There are all
kinds of stories afloat about you. In
their present temper the people
wouldn't like anything better than
to string you up. Of course, 1 know
you better, and don't take any stocjt
in their yarns. A pair of blue eyes,

"Why, Bilkins got back from Har.

about that until those Unknown ras
Gals voted for Harmony, every mar
