COLUMBUS. DAY.
Italians Would Make It a Legal Holi,
day in Colorado

House Bill No. 60, by Mr. Bromlcy.
might be entitled "A Bill for an Act 70
Remind the People OF Colorado" Ii Is
request bill, introduced at the so-
licitation of Mr.. Angelo Noce, speaking
for a large number of his countrymcu
The bill provides that October 18th OF
each year hereafter shall be a legal
holiday, to be known as Columbus DAY
and observed as Il legal holiday.
This has long been dream of Mr.
Noce and the leading spirits among the
Italian people in Colorado, who under
took once TO raise Il statue to the mem
DRY of the great Gcnoese. Denver, as
usual. was Indifferent, but Pueblo
made an attempt to respond and a mas
sive base for such statue was set mp
and still awaits the coming of its
crown. A Genocse also, though for
many years an American citizen and
for twenty-four years a resident OF
Colorado Mr.. Noce has hit upon a hap.
py way of commemorating the mem
DRY of Columbus. The fact that the bill
was introduced, Friday the 18th,
which would seem fairly inviting the
wrath of fate, will not affect it, as Co
lumbus started on Friday and discov-
cred land on Friday. Friday has al
ways been lucky day for this coun.
try.
There are in Colorado some $4,000
Italians, most of them very hardwOrk-
ing and industrious people. some OF
them highly cultured, but the average
American child sums up all the sons Of
the erstwhile mighty Roman empire in
the one term Of derision. "Dago, and
let's 1t go at that. Perhaps if. once a
year, this self-sufFcicnt young person
should hear something OF the sti'ug
giles, the courage, the indomitable per
severance OF Columbus, the tragic
story of defeat and the more tragic
STORY of success that ended ir prison

Army Service for Women.

A military man. writing for the
Washington Post, says that Emperor
William Of Germany has devised a
most remarkable scheme. of profound
interest to women throughout the civ
ilized world. the ultimate aim OF which
is nothing more nor less than render
ing the fair sex liable to compulsory
service in the army. True. he does
not propose that they should swell the
ranks OF his mounted body of Amazons
which he is alone among European
sovereigns to possess; nor does he in
tend that they should be called upon
to shoulder the rifle. to WELD the sa-
ber- or to serve the guns. But he has
in view the fulffllnent of those partic-
ular duties in connection with the non,
combatant departments of the army.
such as. for instance. hospital work.
clerical work, the preparation of sup
plies. etc, fer all of which a training.
to be furnished by the government, is
required.

A FELLOW FEELING.

A great deal depends on the point of

led. in very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh Judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups

She writes:

turned; the asthma disappeared. be-

How He Saved His Leo.

saw Senator Bate of Tennessee. 1t
was shortly before the Inauguration
and he was standing in the corridor
waiting for a carriage. One Of his
legs had been manned, and somehow
on this occasion the conversation
drifted toward how he was hurt dur
ing the civil war. 1t seems he had an
important command for the confedera-
cy, and was right in the line for rapid
promotion when he was wounded and
taken to the hospital.
The surgeon looked at him and
shook his head. This leg must &C."
