Methodist Church Affairs.

The Sunday school adopted ap-
propriate resolutions of sympathy
with Chusncey and Rae Beach on
the death OF their mother, who was
highly esteemed by our people.
The resolutions were spread of
record on the minutes OF the school,
and copies presented to the parties.
The Sunday that no members
are received Is no. the exception.
Last Sunday DR.. White was vel.
coined back, coming by letter, and
Mrs Amanda McCrillis. who re-
sides with Mrs H = Hill. was
cordially received into her new
home, also by letter. Both are
valuable additions to our working
force.

DR.. X. A. Chase, the new pre-

his first visit next Sunday, and ev.

Four of the finest churches in the
conference were built under the
pastorates of DR.. Chase, namely,
those at Fort Collins, Boulder,
Canon Ci,y, and ST. Paul's at Pu-
eblo. He is much younger than
the average presiding elder, but he
was nevertheless the unanimous
choice OF the ministers of the dis.
trict.
The superintendent, A. c. Drap-

school gave a reception to all the
pupils, young and old, last Friday
evening. A musical and literary
program was rendered upstairs,
after which ice cream and cake
we're served III the lecture room,
games indulged in and every
body was made young again

Death Of Miss = sbei Polk

For some time the friends OF Miss
Mabel Polk have realized that she
was lighting a losing battle with
consumption. Her family had done
everything possible for her, all TO
no avail. The end came abou,
eight o'clock Monday morning,
October 10th
The Polks were among the
earliest settlers of Otero county.
Miss Mabel was born IN La unta,
October 7, 1853, and had therefore
just passed her nineteenth birth-
day. For one 50 young to be
stricken down is especially sad,
and the sadness in this case, par
ticulsrly for the family, IS au--
mented by the fact thar the de-
ceased is an only daughter Her
many friends showed their regard
by their attendance in such large
numbers upon the obsequies yes
terdsy afternoon These were in
charge OF her pastor, DR.. c. ..
kimball. Music was rendered by
her Sunday school class, of which
DR. kimbsll was the teacher.
Her afflicted mother and brothers
have the sympathy OF the entire
community.

PLANNING A PLAY ROOM.
Inexpensive Way of Arranging the
Children's Own Room.

Not all mothers are so fortunate as to
be able to afford a nursery for their
children, in the usual sense of the word.
It sounds extravagant, suggesting the
idea of a palatial mansion, planned out
with that easy comfort which is really
luxury. This is misleading, however.
Every home ought to contain a play
room-one apartment which can be the
children'S very own" Every house.
with very few exceptions, may have
one. And this statement is made
strictly with reference to middle-clas
homes.
Even two-story houses, such as
characterize Philadelphia, usually have
a little extra room sandwiched between
sitting room and bath room. 1t is
most frequently set apart for sewing,
but why not let 1t serve for a nursery?
Think how much "tidying up might
be saved If toys could be left behind
there instead of being scattered through
every room in the house. There would
be no worrying over damaged furniture
or scra tched walls; best of all, the chill
1 dren would enjoy liberty, could romp
and be noisy without causing discom-
fort to adult members of the family
Surprising that you wish to inexpensive
bIaekbopard DAD dado' Most Children I love to
scribble and mark every available
space. and this arrangement permits them
to do So Blackboardins is not very ex-
pensive Above it a border of Mother
Goose pictures might be arranged, as
they always give pleasure to young chill
dren. In the case of a small room this
decoration may be supplied in amateur
fashion by clipping Mother Goose pic
lures and pasting them the wall, af-
terward coating them with shellac. The
upper part of the wall may be covered
with any cheap paper, provided it is plain
and in good taste, preferably light col
ored, for greater cheerfulness.
! There are especially designed wall pa
| pers. of course, which illustrate the
stories of Red Riding Hood and other
juvenile tales of like character. These
preclude the hanging of pictures. It is a
question whether the better choice would
not be in favor of plain paper, suited to
the display of plain, well-chosen engraV-
ings, or even photographs.
By the way, some may argue against
the blackboarding that it would tend to
encourage the childish habit of defacing
walls, but this has never proved to be the
case when the experiment has been tried
rather the contrary. If the fitting of the
room must be done at a minimum cost a
wainScoting of thick brown paper may
be substituted, fastened down at it's up
per edge with narrowing holding. This
can be renewed from time to time. The
general idea to be kept in mind in fitting
| up such a room is the avoidance of sharp
corners. There should be round in
chairs should find no place in the chill
dren'S room. In the first place. they are
dangerous, usually inf1icting injuries to
cuticle sooner or later; in the second
place. children should not be permitted to
acquire the rocking chair habit, which
is conducive to round Shoulders.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

A Curious Calendar.

An Austrian published has just
brought out a calendar which is said
to be the most complete publication of
it's kind in the world. The date of the
day occupies the center of each leaf,
and is surrounded on the left by the
name of the saint to whom the day is
dedicated and on the right by some
golden maxim. The lower part of the
tablet is divided into two columns.
From January to June the left-hand
column contains a course of lessons in
six modern languages, while on the
right hand are printed Schiller's poems.
For the other half of the year one COL
umn is filled with a novel of Jules
Vernes and the other by a translation
of the foreign words used most fire.
quently in German and an epitome of
history from Charlemagne up to the
present time. At the back of the leaves
are notes on mythology, geogra ply,
law. arithmetic, cooking and house
keeping recipes. The leaves are also
so prepared that during the summer
they can be STEPPED in water as fly
killers, and from October to April they
can be made into cigarettes.-New York

KING PETERS WOES.
Enjoys Few Privileges and Is Gener-
ally Snubbed.

King Peter of Servia feels more and
more convinced every day that he
made a mistake when he gave up the
life of a private gentleman for that
of monarch of such a state as Servia,
where he enjoys few of the privileges
and dignities of kingship, and where
his life is so unsafe that the insurance
companies ask an absolutely prohibit
tive premium for a policy upon it.
Moreover, he is being Systematically
states, and by none so persistently as
have any diplomatic relations with the
country since the terrible murders that
were enacted there.
The other day the king sent his con-
gratulations on King Edwards birth
day to the British charge d'affaires at
Belgrade, who promptly declined to re-
ceive them; and Peter now is pleading
with the car for his intercession with
this country. 1t is not likely to be
successful. Not long ago a Genevese
citizen, with whom his majesty was on
friendly terms, said to his face: "Ah,
poor Peter! Thou wilt have no more
quiet days, and not many happy ones,
1 fear. I would not exchange places
with thee for all the world"
He receives by every post a variety
of disturbing predictions as to what is
likely to happen to him, and therefore
deems it wisest to have a fire escape
permanently attached to his bed room
