should Follow System.
II have seen women walk miles use
lessly, going back and forth the length
of an entire store on account of the
way they had arranged their shopping
list. Yesterday there was one who
came TO buy presents for a class OF
boys. Although there were many
things on her list that could be bought
IN the same department, she had them
all separated and trotted back and
forth for hours before she got through.
No, 1t is no exaggeration-the av-
erage woman, instead of putting down
q half dozen pairs of gloves for as
many people, viii make a half dozen
trips to the glove counter and perhaps
come down six different days to do 1t.
How IL All Helps out.
"of course it goes without saying
that the woman who can save the most
steps by carefully planning her shop
ping list is the one who knows pretty
well the location of things. She ar
ranges her headings on her list so that
when she is through in one department
she has for item number two that
which, of all she wants, lies nearest to
the section she is already in.
When stores cover acres, almost, this
is a great help, especially since every
trip to different departments almost
means struggle for life. But If a
woman Is not out shopping often
enough to be posted on locations, she
can at least easily ask for each de-
nartment.
but whatever mechanical and sys-
tematic aids she can call upon, the
woman who is going to get along best
with her Christmas shopping Is the one
who can get so enthused with the
Christmas spirit that she will not mind
being elbowed, and poked about and
walked upon until she is black and
blue"

There seems to be an atrophy of

Methodist Church.
The Christmas celebration of the
Sunday school of Grace Methodist
Church was held last night in the
school room under the church, at

The object of the celebration was to
enable the children of the school to
make gifts to tine poor. An excellent
programme had been arranged, and the
room was deliberately decorated. The
platform where the officers of the
church and school were stationed, was
decorated with small forest of dainti-
ly draped Christmas trees, from which
hung a myriad of varied colored glass
ornaments.
Just before the exercises opened,
Santa Claus came upon the stage and
greeted the officers. The infant class
then formed into line and marched
around the room, singing. Yes, Jesus
Loves Me-" and at the conclusion OF
the song gathered at the foot of the
platform and presented their gifts to
Santa Claus, who received them with
many thanks in behalf of the poor

GETTING LARG-
Err.

Larger handkerchiefs are in the
hands of women this season than were
carried last year, for the correct size
is nearly as large as the smallest of
those carried by men. This applies to
lace mouchoirs as well as to the tail
ored linen squares.
The latter are severe, indeed, just a
quarter-inch hem, finished with eyelet
hem-stitching and the tiniest of initial
letters outlined in eyelet embroidery.
For daintier wear these same squares
are delicately embroidered in each cor
ner with cluster of leaves and flow
ers. Inside one of these is a scroll
surrounding an initial. Sometimes the
initial occupies the center of a butter
fly or shamrock. This style is done

To Make Hornless Cattle.

For stopping the growth OF horns
upon calves, this mixture has been
successfully used in experiments con-

ously stirring, and this is theE dis
solved in water. The mixture should
be placed in bottle with a solid
rubber cork. The calves should not
be over three weeks old, from five
to twenty days being the proper age.
A horn will sometimes be killed that
but it cannot be depended upon with
certainty, In applying the solution
the following directions Should be
observed: With pair OF scissors
clip the haiI around the embryo horn
so as to expose spot about the size
OF nickel. While an assistant
holds the calf seculely, d,op two or
three drops OF the mixture on the
horn, and with the end Of the rub
ber cork rub 1t thoroughly over the
bale spot. Apply the fluid first to
one horn, then the other, until each
has received three to four applica-
tlons. The rubbing should be con-
tinued until the caustic has
softened and removed the hair and
surface skin around the horn. Care
should be taken that the fluid does
not spread over too large surface or
run down the side of the lace. To
insure success. the mixture should be
carefully and thoroughly applied. II
used carelessly, the embyro horn may
not only be killed, but the face OF
the calf may be disfigured by allow
ing the fluid to spread and run down

Protect Bob White.

For several years an effort has been
made TO breed numbers OF "Bob
White, or quail, in this vicinity,
and success was apparent; but tie
erribly cold days of February, 1897,
killed the birds off by the hundred.
1he chief object in breeding quail
was to increase the gunnel's field of
operation, but the following from
the Fort Collins Express is evidence
that the pretty little bird is far
more valuable to the farmer than to
the sportsman:
"The ornithologists OF the depart
ment Of agriculture have been max
ing an investigation of the economic
value OF the Bob White, or quail, as
a result of which 1t Is now announc.
ed that that bird is probably the
most useful abundant species on the
tarms.' Field observations, expert
ments and examinations show that 1t
consumes large quantities OF weed
seed and destroys many Of the worst
insect pests with which farmers con-
tend, and yet it does not injure grain,
fruit or any other crop. 1t Is fig
ured that from September l to April
30, annually, in Virginia alone. the
total consumption of weed seed by
Bob Whites amounts to 573 TONS
Some OF the pests which 1t habitually
destroys. the report says, are the
Mexican cotton poll weevai, which
damages the cotton crop upward OF
SIS, 900, 900 year; the potato beetle,
which cuts off 10.OOO, 900 from the
value OF the potato crop; the cotton
worms, which have been known 10
cause $50, 900, 900 loss in year; the
chnch bug and the Rocky Mountain
locust, scourges which leave desola-
tion in their path and have caused
losses to the extent of sI00, 900, 900 q
some years. The report urges meas
ures to secure the preservation OF
Bob Whites in this country.

by two OF Greeley's best known
norsemen:
I'VE are creditahly Informed
that, as a result of visit to Fort
Collins, Wednesday, the 22nd inst,
by Major Morgan, the well known
representative Of trotting and pac-
ing horses in Greeley, a match race
with Folt Collins parties is likely to
come off in the near future. The
tact that Major Morgan has gener-
ously offered to race for $1,000, and
that the money is deposited in Gree.
ley hank, dispeis any doubt as to the
bona fideness OF the offer; and also
removes the statement from the re-
piop of nluffdom, in which the major
loves to rerel.
The receiver of this note is inclined
to the belief that the doctor and Ar
chic are running good natured ram

is also disposed to think that Major
Morgan Is sincere in his statement,
