The Home
By CYNTHIA GREY

and curtains useless and instead of being
punished for neglect they are commended
for doing NOW what DUTY DEMAND
ED MONTHS OR YEARS AGO.
What have these men been doing? Their
eyes have been opened as if by magic, but
their position were made for a purpose,
their salaries paid and their duties pe-
fined Why have they been walking with
closed eyes so LONG?
The man who is employed to inspect
the work of others for the PURPOSE of
PROTECTING the LIVES of the PEG
PIE and who fails to see the dangers
UNTIL "a great misfortune has sharpened
his sense of sight. should be made to feel
the eavy hand of the law.
Who is to blame when man neglects
his duty? Whence this generation of men
who recognize no duty? GO BACK 40
THE HOME! What did mother do to
SOW early the seed which, should ripen to
good fruit? What examples of honor and
principle did father place before his son?
1t is in the home that the child soul
is taught to stand alone Is your son
STOPPING or is he held erect? Look to
your sons and daughters? 1t means
work; yes but work more noble than the
work of clubs and societies. The future
of the nation depends upon the home.

DUTY.
Duty should be household watcliword.
Accidents are occurring daily, accidents
where the death list runs from a score to
hundreds, and where long list of injured
doubles the horror. All this death and
suffering because SOMEONE HAS NE
GLECTED HIS DUTY! Because some
one knows duty by sound only, and a
very old-fashioned and slow-going sound
at that!
Is the life of the masses mere play
thing?
The man who is PAID for service and
fails to perform FAITHFULLY the DU-
TIES which that service demands is a
THIEF! If loss of life results he is a
MURDERknL Those are strong words
to apply to the unfortunate individual
who happens to be caught, while hundreds
just as negligent remain uncensured and
unpublished But the inspectors whose
EYE HAVE BEEN OPEN ONLY

to duty caused the terrible tragedy. In

WESTERN WHOLESALE
TRADE REPORTED ACTIVE

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 21.-The general
wholesale trade in the Central West is
solid and of the promising sort. In many
lines the activity thus far in 1904 has ex-
ceeded the expectations. This is especial
ly true of the grocery and dry goods
trade. In the general grocery trade the
present business is very noticeably above
the normal, and in staples the activity is
pronounced.
In the iron and steel branches the years
beginning is very propitious, and scarcely
any part of the industry reports other
than most encouraging prospects for at
least six months to come. Producers of
agricultural implements, wire and nails
also report the situation and outlook as
highly satisfactory.
The general lumber business is likewise
reported much improved, and the dealers
are expecting much better things in the
near future. Receipts in Chicago at pres
ent are barely enough to meet the imme-
date requirements of the trade.

TEACHERS PREFER
VERTICAL SY STEM

lime and again business men and Others
have asked why the present system OF
vertical writing in the city schools was
not changed to the Spencerian or slant
system.
City Superintendent A. B. Warner. at
the school board meeting last night. sub
united some facts and suggestions to the
board of education in regard to that sys-
TEN and upholds its superiority over other
systems. In his report he states that l76
teachers in the city schools at the present
time first learned to write slant system;
that ll5 of them first taught a slant sys-
TEN; that "a still think that the slant
system is preferable to vertical writing,
and that 1876 consider a vertical system
superior for school use.

port provides for an eight-room addition

committeeman and discussed plans for the
future work of the organization. The most

against reciprocity. The ratification of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty is a sore disap-

becoming an entering wedge which would
make it, easier to bring about reciprocity

GOOD INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR
INCREASED ACTIVITY IN MANY PRIVATE
MINING ENTERPRISES.

The shiprnents of ore from the Idaho
Springs depot during the month OF NoS
euber were IsS carloads, and is an in-
crease OF seventy-seven per cent over the
shipments of the same month of last
year
October WAS the banner month IN the
history of the camp when the shipments
amounted 10 a44 carloads. The decrease
in the past months shipments is partial
iy attributed to he fsct that one OF the
largest mills in the district, wbos- out
pu. when running in October wss thirty
tons of concentrates every twenty four
hours. is snlargiug its capacity by the
addition Of erushrrs. rolls aud jigs. Two

diiions to their capacity. Lack of teams
for hauling ore has been serious handi-
cap 10 a uainber Of operators. aud those
not having contracts fsr steady hauliug

their best to meet the present require
rnents. There is not an Idle miner in the

living in different parts of the city that
neighbors persist in dumping quantities
of waste paper and rubbish into the
streets and alleys. The winds distribute
the refuse generously around the town
