THE DELINEAToR FOR NOVEMBER

With its introduction of color
through the fashion and advertising
sections, the November Delineator pre-
sents a most attractive appearance.
The autumn fashions have a large
place in the number, being illustrated
and described in detail and interpreted
by such authorities of dress as Helen
Berkeley Lord and Edouard La Fon-
tame.
The table of contents contains,
among its many features of interest,
an article. the second of two, by DR..
William H. Maxwell, superintendent OF
schools, New York city, on Education
for life through living" AS DIR. Max
well says. "The public schools Of to-
day are doing what they can to ena-
BILE the children to become better home
makers and greater home-lovers, to be
stronger in body and more ready in ap-
pIfcation of mind, to problems both Of
the hand and head and to discover in
themselves new aptitudes and gain
new modes of self-expression without
which, for want of verbal skill. they
would be forever dumb" Just what
methods they use are set forth with 4
great deal of interest in this article.

Eaquis. Although his party did no.
encounter any of the savages, they saw
signs Of them on every hand, and that
they were not mOlested was due prob
ably to the fact that the trip was
made under escort of a cavalry cCm-

rof Prout left the Yaqui River rail-
road at Torres and travelled with hig
escort eastward to the Yaqui river.
The country, he says, is magnificent,
being grown up with green shrubbery
and a very heavy grass. The mesquite
trees are in many places covered with
wild morning glory vines and tne bios
SONS give the country the appearance
of an immense garden. The Yaqui
river. he says, is very large for this
season of the year, being nearly 400
feet wide in several places. In many
ways he said it reminded him of the
Colorado. on account of the swift cur
rent.

the mining situation in Northern Mex

some working.

PRESBYTERIAN PULPIT
Rev. H. n. Campbell Will Supply il
for Six HOnthS.

The Presbyterian church services
were well attended yesterday, and a
particularly good congregation was
present last night. There was an I'M
usual interest through the fact that the
services were conducted by Rev. II. NJ.
Campbell, of Pueblo, who is tempOrar-
lily supplying the pulpit and who, judg-
ing from expressions of satisfaction by
many among the membership, Will
probably be rendered the pastorate
permanently. At any rate, there were
two session meetings yesterday to con-
slider the subject, and Rev. Campbell
was extended an invitation to supply
the pulpit for six months beginnirg
November 1st and accepted it. He
leaves on tlis mornings train for Den
Yer, where he will attend the annual
meeting of the synod.
The theme of last nights sermon was
Now, Now, not By and BY" and the
text was in Genesis 1917. The lesson
lay in the story of the fate of SOdOm,
the warning to Lot by the two angels
who were asked to tarry 70 the night.
and their message which bade him
make haste and escape with his life.
The contrast was drawn between the
Injunction of God to act at once and
the human impulse to tarry, whatever
might be the business in hand. Pro-
crastination is one of mans worst enc
mics, and in respect of ones salvation,
to tarry might be fatal.
Rev. Campbell is a forceful but quite
rapid speaker, though his enunciatiOn
is clear and distinct. His subjects
seem to be we'll prepared, he knows
what he wants to say, and he has no
hesitancy in saying it. Mrs. L. H.
Richards sang a very pleasing offer

half that Of Italy. Alexien said: THE

exotic which We will cripple at the on

With her might, Russia sent ponderous-
looking men-of-war TO the far east with
too few mechanical ratings, and with
seamen who, in confession made to
me by Russian officer, were only "ag-
ricu'tural <laborers," net only unused to
sea life. but also IMMERSED in even the

in this condition that Japan found its
