love Of God, and gives to you promi-
nence among the noble Of earth. Pea
fowls cannot be transformed into
ladies by the use Of flounces, ribbons
and lace. Your words and actions will
form mirror rejecting your character
and integrity, which should be sup
ported by mind permeated with re-
finement, and by . heart pure and
simple In advocating that which is
right. Let your heart be - firm as
adamant as to q rule Of conduct by
which you are In all things governed.
Be modest in differing with other
people about their likes or disIikes
Do not be sensitive when your friends
do not agree with you in your taste;
neither should you condemn their
judgment In crIticising way. To
claim to be critic is not always an
indication Of wisdom. All cooks do
not flavor their dishes alike. Some
people are color blind and do not know
1t. This may be with you misfortune.
When ''overthkefi in fault" do not
become discouraged and think you are
without friends. Faults are like dis
located Joints and should be reduced
at once. The best way to do this is to
acknowledge them to God, who hath
said: "1f any man sin, we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous. And again: "If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse
us from all unrighte1usntss."

l. /. Truth or Lie,

It 10 often said, to the shame of CON.
testants for certain forms Of truth,
that they are more anxious for "the
truth" than they are for real true
living. In which case the truth is al
ways harmed, No man can contend
for the truth, win victories for it,
who wages an unholy battle; who
loses the spirit of Christ; who fights
for an Interpretation Of the Book
with weapons that are n-Christlike,
We shall earnestly contend for the
truth; but the truth Is nothing il IL
is not embodied in tho life Of the con.
tending warrior. He who would
fight battles for truth must have the
spirit Of Him who was the truth; and
his weapons were not carnal, his
speech was not bitter; on the con
trary, he was winsomeness incaruate.
II one had to choose between n
crooked life welded to clear opinions
IF truth. and pure life holding some
mistaken opinions OF truth, there
would be no difficulty in the choice.
The old version Of the New Testa.
p,ent makes Paul say some strong
things against those who 'hold the
truth in unrighteousness." The truth
.always suffers when life and truth
ne not synonymops.-Beptist UnieA.

GAIN THE GREAT EXPERIENCES
Let SoAsthinG High Bstsr the soul
sad II Will EAaaeipats You from
Lesser Attractions.

In Raphaels picture Of Peter in
prison the splendor of the angel
subdues the light Of the torch and
Of the moon. And in the realm of
tie inner life great emotion OF
love, ambition or devotion makes the
ordinary impulses Of life pale and
dull. That was the philosophy to
which ST. Paul constantly reverted.
1t was as If he had said: Gain the
great experience. Let something
high and noble enter the soul, and il
will emancipate you from all other
attractions. Walk in the spirit, and
ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the
flesh" The point is not that the
great experience crowds out the low
er, on the principle that two bodies
cannot occupy the same space at the
same time, but that the great expert
ence puts the others into subordina-
tion. In Raphael's picture the torch
still burns. the moon still shines, but
these inferior lights become insig-
nificant in the glory that radiates
from the heavenly visitor. We make
q mistake when we put things out Of
our hearts by. crowding them out,
especially If they have some right
there. That il the error of asceti.
cism. What we want il to make them
take and keep their proper places.
And that is to be accomplished by
the entrance into the heart of some
bright angel.-Boston Watchman.

CHRISTIAN COURTESY,

There Il . poiiteness which springs
from the pit and another that comes
down from Heaven. Flattery, insin-
cerity, exaggoration. are alike alien
TO the Christian life; but interest In
another's welfare, Difference to an
Others views and the wish to bright
en- another's path are all graces Of
the Christian spirit. Christianity
fosters Independence bat condemns
boorishness; and Paul has rightly
been called "the finest gsntleman in
history"
1t Is . remarkable characteristic Of
the epistles Of the greatest of the
apostles that he greets by name 30
many In the various churches to
which the letters are addressed. He
mentions the particular kindnesses
they. have shown him, and the indi-
vidual services they have rendered to
his affection for certain of the breth;
rem who were older In the fellowship
of the Master than himself. He re;
members with loving commendation
those who had proven themselves the
hosts of friendless disciples. He does
not forget to name certain ones who
had put their own lives In peril for
his sake.
But we havs . higher example I'd
follow than Of the foremost of the
apostles; 1t 10 that of our Lord Him
self. who. in His letters to the vari-
bus churches selected as representa-
tive, does not begin His message with
n recital of their shortcomings but
with the enumeration of their good
deeds. He is not unwilling to go be-
yond their own modest estimates Of
their own good deeds and to write in
letters of gold the story of their
otherwise obscure deserts.
Whoever therefore has most of
Christ in himself will most exhibit
this heavenly trait. He will not for.
get to acknowledge benefits con-
ferrcd; he will not be too busy to
repay good intentions with loving re-
membrances; he will not let the
wife's heart starve for want of
gracious speech or the child grow
sick at heart for lack of psrental en-
enlargement. He will make a good
heighbor. full of little attentions
which without being obtrusive make
fellowship sweet. He will be hospit-
able to strangers in the church.
Wherever he goes he carries the sun
shine Of life which esteems others
better than itself and finds in others
good qualities which come to the pos
SCISSORS as surprises. There is not .
walk in life where this grace may
not find useful exercise. but most Of
hll Is it needed in the home. 1t is for
daily wear, not occasional displays;
for benehcent purpose, not for deco
rative exhibitions. It is as precious
hs its counterfeit Is cheap, and it Is

In sizing up the advAhtages Of ORCH
arding In this beautiful Colorado land
If ours we have noticed that sunlight
means color and water means growth.
AS everybody knows we have an un-
usual amount Of sunlight. A plant
grown with much light is more stocky
and is consequently better qualified
to resist disease and Must necessarily
thrive better. Trees grown with less
sunlight, as In the East where they
have more cloudy weather, are natur-
ally more slender. Then too deciduous
trees grown in the East have less
foliage thai western trees de- we pro-
duce theni undet irrigation. AS a

A NEW YEARS Gift
TO YOUNG GIRLS

Girls drow Into Womanhood.
BY RALEIeH RICHARDSON WHITE.
There are some make-believes. A
real woman equipped orduty, morally,
intellectually and socially, means that
a sweet spirited, refined girl is sine
qua nohT,without which a. worthy
woman cannot exist. This being true,
girl should use the deepest, broadest
and highest moral and intellectual
thought about everything she PROPOSES
to do, remembering, that. as many
mountains are hard to climb, so some
mistakes, are, almost irreparabie.
Therefore, the necessity of right be-
ginning, since, the defects Of life cam
not hope to win a victory by the ex-
tension of time. Even If goodness is
attempted to be. secured by wrong do
ing, it will in the end be Transformed
into evil,
In the effort of every, true and
worthy girl there is contest fos q
useful life. In order to succeed<the
mark of success must not be passed,
for fear. that which is least expected
may shroud the character with, defeat.
Above everything a girl ought to be
a soul winner for, Christ. She is the
finer polish of the man, part taken
from man, and yet, she is the refined
part, the gold separated from the alloy.
Indeed, in becoming woman she is
the gospel Of good news, to rock the
cradle of destiny, In revealing facts aud
truths which demand knowledge and
belief. It is a magical. fact, almost
without an exception, that every man
of marked distinction for. usefulness
had good and noble mother.
A loving, tender, sympathizing
woman IL needed at the first extreme
of life, that of childhood. Without
her assistance, infancy would be with
out q guiding hand, and love a mean
ingless Inspiration without the cultured
power Of enjoyment. 4
Follies you viii have, TO know your
follies is to be wise; wisdom will lead
to foresight, and foresight will beget
prudence by which you will be able to
shun the influence OF bad associates
If wisdom and virtue dire. yoked to-
gether, you can follow In the path Of

THE NEW YEAR.

This is the last issue of The Star
in the old year. We are at the
threshold of a new year into which
we enter on Sunday. This is the
time Of year when we take inven.
tory of ourselves. And looking
back into the past we see ouI
mistakes standing out as pfoffiineht
as a supreme court before Denver
election thief.
The Star has not measured up to
the standard it set for itself last
New Year. We have either not
done our best, as every man and
woman is morally bound to do, or
our best is very faulty. But as this
Is the time of year to make good
fesolutions, we will resolve to do
much better during the coming
year. Readers of The Star can
assist us in publishing better
paper by stopping at the offlce
when in town and letting us know
what is doing" in. their neighbor-
hood, or by dropping us d note
through the mail.
We can say for the Town oi
Dolores that the rapid strides it has
made in improvements and PROGRESS
during the past year are about as
noticeable as a capital o without a
rim. Mancos has water works and
an electric light plant. The farm
ers of the Mohtekuriia valley have
decided to put in 500, 900 irriga-
tion system. Dolores has done
nothing. Is It not about time that
our town awake from its apathy and
try to keep pace with the progress
that is manifesting itself on all
Sides?
Dolores needs number of things,
but the most essential is a water
system, without which the town
has no reason to expect to grow.
Dolores is Situated at the most
pleasant place in the county for a
town, and with some protection
against fire ard a convenient way
to get water for household use,
lawns and gardens, it would soon
become city. -.
Dolores needs a canning factory
to take care Of the fruit and vege-
tables raised in the surrounding
country, and starch factory to
handle the potatoes. A flour mill
and creamery will be needed in the
near future. None of these enter
prises will come to-, us if we have
no advantages to offer them. Let
Dolores take a step1orwafd during
the coming year.
