While modern furniture for COM
mercial purposes is patterned largely
after the old and rare pieces found in
old castles and museums Of Europe
in fact the modern manufacturer of
furniture on large scale has repre-
sentatives and artists who do little
or nothing but hunt rare specimens
of furniture to pattern from-every-
thing, nevert theless, takes on mod
ern touch when completed This is
we'll too, for while the old furniture
is exceedingly good to look upon 1t
will seldom do to sit upon, while TIE
modern ware patterned after the old
models is still substantial. Then the
modern altisan-if so he may be
called, for he is mostly machine

that credits be sent in each week and

should remember this.
A brief mention OF the other can.
d'oates here will serve to add Interest
to the contest. Miss Almae Andp,-
son, who has suddenly forged to the
'front.' In the contest, is at present
stenographer in the Churchill and
Joseph Ewing law Offices, and seems
to have, the solid support OF the legal
fraternity of the city in this con
test. She is favorite niece of
August Anderson, one of the most
prominent and Influential farmers of
the Swedish nationality in Weld
county.
MISS Annie Parrott, the candidate
FROM Eaton, is perhaps the only
woman in Colorado who is both man
ager and editor of newspaper. That
she is, the Ault Record owing its
appearance entirely to her ability and
hustle. She is also local news re-
porter for the Eaton Herald.
Miss Maud Walker, daughter of
Mrs. Fl. Fl. Bills of Windsor, has for
several months been valuable
assistant to Robert E. Hanna, post
master of Windsor, where she IS a
general fayorite with all who find
occasion to visit the postotlice. Her
many duties in this position prevent
her from doing great deal of active
work in the contest, but her many
friends will not fail to rally to her
support in time to win one or an
other of the several prizes offered.
Miss Edna Blunt is the only farm
er's daughter who so far has entered
the contest. She is the daughter Of
Chester Blunt OF Pleasant valley,
where every person is personal
friend Of her. She is at present TAX
ing a course In the State Normal
school, preparatory to beginning
teaching
Miss Leila Frazier, the popular
clerk in the drygoods department of
Levin Brothers store, has so far
found but little time for personal
work IN the contest, owing to the
rush Of opening Of spring business,
but her many friends are beginning
to bestir themselves in her behalf,
and within the next week or two
will, II promises count for anything,
see that she is placed in the front
rank with credits.
Prospective subscribers tc The
Tribune should not forget that they
will receive a copy Of the handsome
illustrated booklet ''Greeley and
Chereabouts, with a six months or
years subscription.
Following will show how credits in
the contest are secured:
Every coupon clipped from the Trib-
une counts five votes or credits.
Every new subscriber with cash for
one year counts 800 votes or credits. A
ix-months subscriber counts half as
many.
Every $500 paid by an old subscriber
on account counts 200 credits.
Every want ad sent to the Tribune
with the cash counts 20 credits.
The contest is open to any young lady
in Weld county. The one residing in
Greeley having the most credits to her
account will be one of the winners, and
the young lady outside of Greeley who
stands highest among the outside candl-
dates will be the other winner.

HOW TO OBSERVE THE DAY

How to Do It.

One way, and a most common sense
one. is by paying bills, certainly the
small ones. and more especially those
that are owing to working people. OF
to boarding house keepers. butchers,
bakers, grocers or landlords. Money
kept in circulation will keep many
wants supplied, many little hoies
stopped, and If anyone must wait, II
should ordinarily be the man OF means
the one who can best afford 10 40 so'
not those who depend on the days IN
come to supply the daily needs, says
the New York Observer.
During a little disappointment in her
first housekeeping arrangements
young housekeeper found it necessary
to send out her washing instead OF hav-
ing It done In the house as she had
been doing. 1t then became one OF her
unwritten laws to pay when the clothes
were brought home. At one time they
came a day earlier in the week than
usua, and the two dollars were not
ready. AS 1t was Thanksgiving day.
