More Good Reading.

Another varied and splendid lot of
reading matter is presented in the
Tribune magazine section this week.
This is rapidly becoming one of the
most popular magazines of miscel-
laneous reading, and it is we'll de-
serving of this popularity.
The success of an American girl
of the south, as singer in London
is one of the leading articles. The
young lady In question is Miss Clara
Alexander, who sings southern negro
melodies before the king and queen
of England. and has won the hearts
of the nobility of the staid old
kindgom.
"China's Army of 10000" is an
interesting article about the develop.
ment of the Chinese army along
modern lines. Should foreign
power attempt to invade the slant
eyed empire now it would not find an
army equipped only with old wooden
spears and pepper boxes, but force

drilled almost as we'll ..as European
army, or better still, like the japan.

Another interesting article on the
forestry question this week is by
Clifford Pinchot, United States for.
ester, and member of the public
lands commission.
Ancient foot ball will give practi-
cally every athlete something about
the age and history of the game that
he never before knew.
Rival Naval Builders is an
article that shows how much better
and cheaper Uncle Sam can build
war vessels than can private con.
Germs.
"Beautifying Rural Homes," by
Guy E. Mitchell, is we'll worth read.
Ing by those who have any desire at
all for improving the looks of their
home surroundings, whether in the
country or city.

MANNED and abused. No more will
they shelter the timid mountain
grouse, which snuggled comfortably
under the lower branches, nor will
they note the cheerful presence OF
their lively little friend, the soft
furred chipmunk, that scuttered
pack and forth with uptwitching
tail, nor the squirrels to whom
they gladly furnished the sweet nuts
in the pine cones. Lightly and
sadly their dying sighs go out to
each other as some gust of air comes
pityingly to caress them.
1T is all over with them. And
yet to the merely casual observer
their greens do charm the eye and
the young folks who are helping
mamma and papa pick out the tree
that is to blaze with lights and
jewels and bear a rich burden OF
goodies and toys, are all alive with
anticipatory joy, and they caper
exultantly when the choice has been
made and their chubby cheeks bios
som with smiles and laughter and
they clap their little hands.
And, at this, the trees, so de-
spondent before, brace themselves
and stand more stitfly and seem to
be holding out their hands to these
other young things with fate so
happily different from their own,
and seek for the sympathy they know
they will find in that unfailing
fount of gladness-youth.
''And so it is all right-and Den
yer children will dance around
thousands of Christmas trees, and
the trees themselves stand gently re-
signed, content to wither and to die
that JOY may live"

CIRCULAR LETTER
Greeley People Invited to Visit
Art Exhibit

The following circular letter In
regard to the Horace X. Turner free
travelling art exhibit is being sent
out to Greeley people by the various
committees in charge:
The collection Of pictures suitable
for the decoration Of school rooms
on exhibition at the west wing OF the
Greeley high school from January 3
to January 6, has drawn the atten-
tion of all friends Of the public
schools to the opportunity for fur
ther extension of this movement.
We are about to take advantage
of this exhibit, from which the
funds raised will be used to start
this work in substantial manner.
The success of the exhibit and the
encouragement Of worthy cause
may be secured:
l. By the attendance of our citi-
zens, thereby creating a fund to be
expended by the school for pictures.
The admission fee is tritling for such
a famous art exhibit.
2. By making subscription OF
whatever amount they may feel dis
posed to give toward the picture
fund. For every dollar thus sub
scribed we are entitled to purchase
at list value of $l.33 l-3. If S75
we're subscribed the school would be
entitled to 800 worth OF pictures.
3. BY giving your order for pic
lures for your own home. On such
orders we are allowed discount of %
per cent. If you buy picture listed
at sl2, the school fund will receive
an addition of So.
4. By individuals, banks, firms,
lodges, women's clubs, societies,
etc., making the school donation
of a picture or pictures selected by
themselves. If these pictures should
be ordered through us we would Sc
cure the benefit OF a commission to
be added to the fund as above. Many
societies and business firms in the
cities are showing their interest in
the schools by this method, and
many individuals have contributed
to such funds for the purpose of
founding a memorial to child or
relative who was at one time inter-
ested in the schools.
5. Last, but by no means least,
by telling your friends of the oppor
tunity to see the finest collection Of
art reproductions ever gathered in
this country, to see what the masters
of old and modern times have pro-
duced.
We shall try to make each after
noon of the exhibit social pleasure.
You are assured of our appreciation
Of your presence and any effort in
your power to increase our funds.'
