Beet thinning Boy. 10 Dsaand.

Considerable rivalry is being brought
out in Pueblo for the service Of sehool
boys in the sugar beet fields for the sum-
mer months. and instead Of one man be-
ing employed TO engage their services,
Representatives from other fields in Colo
RADIO than those near Rocky Ford have
recently been gathering them up. The
Rev. A. A. Hoskin was first given COM
mission from the association Of bee,
growers down the valley to gather school
boys and offer them good summer en-
ployment at reasonable wages. It was
thought that this would also settle ques-
ton Of what to do with the boys during
the summer months. and he commenced
the work.
Wednesday a meeting Of boys who
haye engaged themselves to work in the
fields was held. but although 200 were
on the lists barely fifty were present
This lack Of attendance was attributed in
part to the efforts Of other men to engage
the boys, and in part to the disagreeable
weather prevailing.
It was expected that many Of those
who contracted to 60 would be in the
fields by this time, but the sugar beet
crop has received severe set back by
the cold weather. and the boys could not
be sent. Rev. Hoskin on Wednesday ad-
dressed letter to the boys urging their
prompt reporting to fll the contracts
made.-Pueblo Chisftan.

Bill Apps Life Story Writ
ten by Himself.

The following sketch of the birth,
youth and manhood of the late Major
Charles H. Smith, Bill Arp" was writ
ten by himself and appears in his last
book, From the Uncivil War to Date
1S61-1903.'
And now a brief mention of my wife
and myself, my birth aud youth and
manhood. On the 18th day of June,
1926. half million children were born
into the world and 1 was one of them.
In the pleasant village of Lawrenceville,
Gwinnett county, Georgia, 1 first saw the
light. My infancy was not unlike that
OF other children, except that sometimes
I had little fits of passion and threw my
self upon the floor or bumped my head
smiled and sometimes said l couldn't
help it, for it was South Carolina fighting
Massachusetts,. My childhood was hap
Ply, and so were my school days. l still
have fond recollections of my teachers.
Miss Cooley, an aunt of Mrs. George
Hillyer, was the first one. She was good
and kind to us all. Then came DR.. Will
son and Mr.. Sage, John Norton and DR..
Patterson and Mr.. McAlpin in succession.
I was mischievcus lad, and Mr.. Norton
whipped me occasionally, not hard but
lightly; once he whipped me on my boil
and burst it, and nearly broke my moth
er's heart, but it was good for the boil.
Ny teachers are all dead. A few years
ago old Father Sage called to see me in
Chester, South Carolina, and as he grasp
ed nv hand said: Eyes, you went to
school to me; I never whipped you but
once. Perhaps if L had whipped you
more you would have made a better man,
but I am proud of you, my boy. Yes, 1
am proud of you" In course of time
was sent to the manual labor institute,
two miles away, where 1 mingled with
the boys of the best families of the
State, the Gouldings, Hollis, Aliens. Alex
anddts, 1intons, and Crawfords, and
others.
They are all dead but two that l know
of. My father was a merchant, and
when l was nearly grown he gave me It
clerks place in his store, and l sold
goods for two or three years. About this
time, of course, I fell in love, and dress
ed better and brushed my hair with a
cow lick touch and wore boots and smiled
sweetly on my sweethearts as they pass
ed When I was nineteen ] was sent to
college at Athens, and found new sweet
heart there. She played and toyod with
me while she was secretly engaged to
another fellow. When I was senior my
father was taken seriously i'll, and called
me home to take care of the business.
So I went to selling goods again. In
the meantime a pretty, hazeleyad lassie
[ had only known as a child had grown
out of her pantalets and into long dress
es and was casting sly glanccs at the
boys about town. I imagined she cast
some at me, for she liked to trade at my
store and was in no hurry to go, and was
pleased to buy what / advised her and
never asked the price. She was bash
full brunette, with hair as black as that
of Pocahontas and it is yet, and her
name was Mary Octavia, the eldest
daughter of Judge Hutchins. OF course
il didn't take me long to fall desperately
Ill love, nor did it take long siege for
! me to take that fort, for>I was right

Dominican sisters. Flowers from
Milwaukee and elsewhere were ar
ranged in profusion about the altar
and sanctuary and the effect was to
make the interior of this handsome
church appear more beautiful than
ever before. The good sisters are
entitled to special praise for their
efforts.
When the new church was designed
Father Weyer specially requested that
the sanctuary be large and spacious.
The wisdom OF this was obvious
to all who attended the Easter SER
vice, for never before in the history Of
st. Mary's congregation was there a
scene SO beautiful, impressive and i'm
posing as the celebration of high
mass in this large sanctuary by
Father Weyer attended by eighteen
altar boys. The vestments worn by
the priest and altar boys, the church
statuary, stations of the cross, altar,
chalice, lighted candles and burning
incense, all combined to give added
impreSsivcness to the holy sacrifice Of
the mass.
Father Weyer delivered an earnest,
thoughtful aud appropriate sermon,
based upon the words He is risen,
He is not here" and was given close
attention throughout.
The choir sang "Leonard's Mass in
b. This mass had never been rem
dcred at st. Mary's before and was
entirely new to the congregation. 1t
was well rendered and we'll appreciat-
ed and the choir individually and
collectively meriLed communication.
The music is something more than the
ordinary, it is high class and difficult,
and whoever selected it for the oc-
casion has well mcritcd the thanks of
the congregation.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
TARIFF,

1t Is matter Of surprise that Presi-
dent Roosevelt should try to make !!
appear that tariff reform ought not to
be tried rs remedy for trusts. In
correspondence from Washington to
the Chicago Record Herald, Walter
Wellman says that Mr.. Roosevelt Is
at heart In favor Of tariff revision,
and that in defending the protective
tariff principle before the country he
IL simply trying to voice the sentl-
ments OF the republican party, that
he is expoundng the party policy and
not expressing his own opinions, And
the Washington Star IL responsible
for the story that just after the adj
iournment Of congress, the president
called TO the White House many
representative republicans, for heart
to heart talks as to what he should
say in his speeches on his projected
western tour. And among these coun-
sellers OF the chief magistrate there
were representatives Of the Protective
Tariff League, who told him very
cmphatiCally that he must stand pat
on the tariff question, or else they
would join forces with those who were
already disgruntIed on account Of his
opposition TO trusts and together
they would defeat his nomination.
1t is understood that this strenuous
advice, which the Star says the presl-
dent received from the tariff lcaguers,
had It's effect, for the president Is now
advocating as best he can the perpet-
uation Of the harmful system OF high
tariff taxation. Az yet he has not
attempted TO say The full high tariff
creed and IL II hardly probable that
he ever will be able TO say 1t save
with II faltering tongue. He h too
great man to believe with all his
heart and all his soul In the sophis-
tries Of protection. But he has de-
tcrmlncd to lead his party In resist
Ing any attempt nj tariff reduction ms
n remedy for the evil OF trust domina-
tion.
But, nevertheless, scaboard taxes
should be reduced; and to secure such
reduction Democrats and all others
who would put country above party
and above the trusts should join
forces and work together in the next
national campaign.
