Beds and Bedding.

There are still bedrooms wherein
can be found reminders of a bySone
age in the form of unwieldy bedsteads
with their monster bedposts and side
parts almost as large as bridge tim
Der. and which afford convenient
camping grounds for vermin. Such
bedsteads usually have for their i'm
mediate companions some of the old
fashioned bed springs, which appear
very crude when compared with the
elegant ard simple springs now found
in all up-to-date homes.
The simple iron bedstead. with its
woven wire springs, provided with
some of the later contrivances to pre-
vent sagging in the center, represents
The highest form of evolution in the
line of beds. 1t is comfortable. read
ily moved about. easily slowed away
and. best of all, affords no lodging
plaoes for either dust or vermin. 1t

cause it has been exposed OF cangnr-
GUS infective disease. and for its ve!y
sir.plicity and neatness is suitable
ornament for any bedroom.
The passing away OF the good old
DAYS" has deprived us of much that
was substantial and real, which has
been replaced by the shallow and ar
tificial. but it is certainly matter for
congratulation that modern civiliza-
tion has emancipated us from the pes
tilential feather bed that used to be
passed down from generation to gen.
Grafton as a cherished heirloom. The
old.fashioned quilts which were re-
covered again ard again at quilting
bees" gradually became liable to the
same objection as the time-honored
feather bed.
It should always be remembered
that he'd clothes are not warm in pro
norton to their weight. but just to the
extent that they have the ability to re-
tain heat. and that this depends more
npon the loosenoss of their texture
than upon the amount of cotton that
can be matted together and covered
again and again with new quilting.
All bedclothes. without regard to
the material from which they are con-
structed. should every week spend
few hours becoming acquainted with
sunlight. and thereby have the addi'
tiopal advantage of thoroughgoinS
outdoor ventilation.

Room for Road and Dam.

Denver. - The Republican this
morning says: There is room
in Gore canon for a dam and the
tracks OF the Moffat road. If the gov
ernment wins its contest over the
canon, the proposed Kremmling res
ervoir with it's dam could be built, and
the route for the Moffat road need
not be changed This was the state
ment made in Denver yesterday by
Charles d. Walcott. director of the
United States Geological Survey.
Drilling parties are now at work to
ascertain the depth to bedrock and
whether 1t is feasible to build a dam.
II 1t is found that dam is not practi-
cable. there will be no Kremmling res
ervoir. That is certain" said Mr..
Walcott deCisiyely. The engineers in
charge Of the drilling will be ready
with a report In six weeks and upon
this report depends the momentous
question of whether the Kremmlins
proposition is to be carried through
with the courts consent--or given up.

PRACTICAL HYGIENE
The Proper Care of the Body
Rational Exercise in Japan.

The Japanese are constantly sur
prisinS their Western neighbors by
the enlightenment of their laws and
customs. The same clearsightedr.ess
and good sense which characterize
them in the conduct of other affairs
are noted as distinguishing features
of their school administration.
For instance, in that part of the
annual report of the department OF
education which refers to gymnastics
in the public schools the minister OF
state quantity remarks: ''PuI lis
should not be allowed to spend play
hours in inactivity and idle conversa-
ton, but all of them, whether Male
or female. should be induced to ex-
ercise in the open air, in as free and
unrestrained a manner as possible. 1t
is not fair to mark their shouting and
running and engaging in merry sports
generally. as bad behavior, and to
give. good marks to those who keep
calm and quiet"
Careful instructions are issued con-
cerninS the gymnastic drill for chill
dren, and the teaching of hygienic
principles, in order that teachers and
pupils may not devote themselves too
exclusively to the cultivation of the
intellectual faculties" Instructors are
warned mot to adhere too strictly to
mere routine, and spend valuable time
in adjusting the postures of pupils. or
in arranging them in rows. thus arous-
ing an aversion in the minds of pu-
pills to drill of this nature"
| In list of recommendations which
| the minister makes to teachers and
| school boards. is the following: Lux
| ury and ease naturally tend to i'm
| becility: in cities and towns pupils
| are sometimes found to ride in jim
| rikishas or other conveyances in
| going to and returning from schools.
and though such practice is beyond
| the reach of school discipline, direc-
| tors and teachers should be very at
| tentive in this matter, and induce the
pupils to walk as much as possible"
Although modern apparatus for
| gymnastics is provided in all the city
schools of Japan. the idea most IA
vored is for such exercises as can be
had in natural and enjoyable sports,
Following the healthful impulses
which nature has provided, results in
the best and most natural develop
ment.
| Pupils in elementary schools are
! forbidden to smoke or keep tobacco
| pipes. Any plan of examinations tend
ing towards rewards and punishments
| is condemned by the minister on the
ground that ''it is not only a misappli
cation of the general principles of e.l
ucation, but also Injuries the phys::'ll

Most people would rather take a

such would do well to ponder:

CAPTAIN OUT OF HIS COURSE,
Rustic Had His Own Idea About
"Plowinq the Seas"

Daniel Maloney. the brave aeronaut
who met his death at Santa Clara
through the overturning of his aero

accidents.
Maloney put his trust in proficiency.
Before each ascension he studied
every detail of the car; he tried every
smallest mechanism. The young man
always imputed aerial accidents to
aerial ignorance.
THE average aeronaut," he said ono
day. ''is about as fit to run a flying
machine as the Ceciltown farmer who
crossed with Capt. Lampford was to
sail ship.

began to dislike the motion. His ar

.As he leaned over the rail discon'
solately, watching with a slight shud'

Capt. Lampford appeared.

The Dutiful Son.

The small boy was very obedicni
and dutiful.
Also very stupid.
Perhaps the second statement was
superfiuous.
But we did not intend to open n
moral discussion.
His father had always taught him
he should take pains in small
things as only the people who did
so ever amounted to anything.
The boy had pondered deeply over
this advice, wondering duly what ii
meant.
Until one morning when the lad
awoke with severe ache in every
tooth.
Then he was happy.
For. with every tooth handing him
a separate bunch of agony. he knew
that he had taken pains in small
things"

No man in the camp could get
quicker action on his shooting irons
than Canada Jim. No man was slow
er to wrath, or greater in time of
stress. Ever for the weak against
the strong. the right against the
wrong. according to his lights. the
man from Canada was accepted by
the miners and light-trigger gentle
men of Happy Land as glittering
municipal success, and a citizen OF
parts.
The thing called law had not yet
reared its depressing head in the re-
gion dominated by Canada Jim. but
it was headed that way. News OF
Jim's latest exploit had Travelled
across the border. and the federal
authorities at that time being men oil
narrow discernment and enlarged in
digestion, had classified the dynami-
ting of a tenderfoot's plant as crime.
The fact that the tenderfoot went
skyward with the engine house was
an unforeseen accident, for he had no
business to be there in the night time,
and you couldn't expect Jim to hunt
all over creation for people who ought
to be in bed.

could have eat raw" to use his own
expressive vernacular. The marshais
hunting knife was the only serious
looking thing about him. and it rath-
er reminded one OF patriotic young
ster trailing his grandfather's sword.
When Canada Jim was informed by
courier what was coming his way,
he moved out to the edge of the camp.
ascended the hill ways and met
girl of the mountains coming to the
spring with bucket.
What's up. Jim?" she asked.
There's a little crowd coming over
from the fort" he said. carelessly.

but If you could stow me away some
where's, Kate, for half hour or so
I'd be obliged. I'D tackle any three
yes. any five of 'em-but my powder
wouldn't hold out for fifty, you know
The girl anxiously followed his re-
marks, and eagerly acted on his sug-
gestion.
Right you are. JIM" she said, look
ing. out of pair of dark brown eyes,
which made no attempt to shield the
affection she had for this brawny
giant of the West: "I'll put you in
place they'll never think of looking"
Canada Jim looked reluctantly
down the trail.
Damn me if I'll hide from 'em."
he said, in a sudden burst of anger:
what right we them tin soldiers ter
come ter these diggin's an tell us
what's what! You so inside, grille,
an I'll learn 'em!"
Don't be foolish. jim" said the
girl, as she took his arm and endeav-
ored to force him to accompany her:
they'd sure git you, and then whatd
become o. me? Come on, there's a
good boy"
The love-light in her eyes pleaded
more eloquently than her words. The
big man put his arms around her and
kissed her.
Il guess you are right, Susie he
said. mournfully; but it makes me
hot to think o. them gingerbread riders

The one said no. when true love came.
And speaking gently. called her name,
The world to conquer l shall try"
Then Love was dumb, and passed on by.
So through the world one went her way;
Men bowed before her day by day.
Yet at the last. when she was Old.
Her heart was empty. aching. cold.
The other answered. Yes. I'll come.
And strive with you to make home"
Then hand in hand with Love she went,
And life was blessed with sweet content.
Within the walls of home she found
Rich joys which wrapped her being round.
And in the evening Of her days
Her life was like psalm of praise.
