Young said that when Adam came
into the Garden he brought Eve, one

are taught that the husband holds
the keys of the resurrection and only
through relation to man can woman
be saved.
There are some sins that can be
washed away by the blood of Christ,
but there are some which can only
be washed out by the blood of the
sinner, and If he does not want to
shed it, himself, the church will do
it for him.

various kinds are to be made by the
Colorado Telephone company during
the next few years. For the pur-
pose of having Il working capital
with which to finance the contem
plated growth the stockhol ders, at
a special meeting in the Telephone
building held Wednesday afternoon,
voted to increase the capital stock
from So, 600, 600 to 100000, 600. The
treasury stock will be sold at par, as
has been the custom of the COM
pany since its Incorporation. 1t is
the policy of the company to avoid
incurring debt and for this reason
it has never issued bonds.
The American Telephone & Tele-
graph company, construction COM
pany operated in connection with
the American Bell Telephone COM
pany. of which the Colorado Tele
phone company is branch, will in
all probability at the beginning of

| tricts, so as to give toll connection
between Omaha, st. Louis, Chicago
and other middle and eastern cities
with Denver The toll connection
between the larger cities and states
of the middle west has been contem-
plated for several years.
There was no election at the meet
ing of the stockholders Wednesday,.
1t was Il special one called for the
purpose of increasing the capital
stock. The annual meeting OF the
stockholders of the company will be
held in February f. B. Field,
the president of the Colorado COM
panv, said after the meeting Wednes-
day: 1T is the policy of our
company to keep on hand u work

extensions and Improvements as
NAV seem necessarily from time
to time. During the past three years
we have spent on an average OF 81
600, 600 year in improvements. The
company intends to continue this
policy in the future and in order TO
have capital enough on hand to last
several years the meeting was called
to increase the capitalization.
"We have during the past year
increased our telephone subscription
greatly and if this increase continues
we will have to have money TO
make necessary improvements.

Missouri Me erschaun.

MACON, Mo-, Dec. 19.-"The Missouri
meerschaum is doing more than all
other agencies that are arrayed
against weak man to crush his good
resolutions to quit smoking said Col.
G. w. Waters of the State Board of
Agriculture to a crowd of farmers at
the corn show. "A man can very
easily swear off from smoking an
ordinary cigar or manufactured tobac-
co, as they call it, in a brier pipe, but
when he becomes addicted to twist and
a Missouri meerschaum he's gone for
keeps as far as that vice is con
cerned.
Il have just come up from Franklin
county, where they grow Missouri
meerschaums. The farmers down there
raise corn for the cobs, because they
get more for them than they do for
the grain that grows on them.
1T is called the Collier corn. The
cobs are unusually large and woody.
They are not porous like the ordinary
corn cob.
"A patented preparation is applied
to the inside of the pipe and the out
side is run through a lathe and polish
ed. After that it is vanished
When the reed stem is inserted and
you load it with a handful of long
green you have the finest smoke in
the world, one that the Sultan might
envy.
The manufacture of corn cob pipes
in Franklin county has built up Wash
ington until it has become a city of
considerable Importance. There are
four factories turning out 100000 corn
cob pipes every year.
You can't get 'em anywhere else in
the world-not the real thing. One of
the factories has a capacity of 100, 600
pipes a day. Four hundred men and
women find constant employment in
these factories.
The farmer gets from % to 60 cents
a hundred for his cobs. Two pipes
are made from each cob, one from the
butt and the other from the centre.
The grade made from the butt is a
shade the more expensive. because a
little more solid than the other.
The raising of corn for cob pipes
wears out the land much faster than
the ordinary small cob variety, be-
cause more potash from the soil goes
into the cob than into the grain

twenty-eight days for s196 and again
of twenty-five days for $50, from thir-

steamers answering for hotels at all
stopping places. These rates are profit
able to the companies and are in strong

selected for the trip is a famous one,

her graceful lines suggest yacht. AS
she approaches, the yachts proportions
enlarge till it is seen that she is an

distinctly homelike; there are no upper

settle down and be at home. Those
who require more space than the usual
accommodations provide can have spe-

and other conveniences. As these
cruises naturally attract people of the
companionable, elubbable sort, the am
