The Love Of the
Beautiful

MONG the means of increasing innocent pleasurable sensa.
tons and emotions for mulitudcs of men and women
none is more potent than the cultivation Of the sense Of
= - beauty. Beauty means a thing enjoyable. 1t must al
ways be something which exches in human beings pleas
urable sensations and emotions. Beauty is infinitely various, AND
1T is OMNIPRESENT. 1t is accessible, therefore, to all men in
all places and in all moods, and its infinite value for pleasure and con-
tent only waits on the development of the capacity in human beings
to feel and to appreciate it.
The best place to inculcate the lo"e of tie beautiful is the school,
room. To the rising generation the most effective lessons car be given
and from the school millions of children will carry the lessons TO
MILLIONS OF HOMES. After reading, spelling, writing and
cphering with small numbers and in simple operations, drawing
should be the most important common school subject. All children
should learn how lines straight and curved and lights and shades form
pictures and may be made to express symmetry and beauty. All chill.
dren should acquire by use Of the pencil and brush power of observa-
ton and eAactness in copying and should learn through their own
work what; the elements Of beauty are. It is monstrous that the COM
mon school should give much time to compound numbers, bank dis
count and stenography and little time to drawing. 1t is monstrous that
the school which prepares for college should give four or five hours a
week for two years to Greek and no time at all to drawing. The main
object in every school should be not to provide the children with
means Of earning a livelihood, but to show them how to live a happy
and worthy life, inspired by ideals which ENA1.T n DIGNITY
BOTH LABOR AND LEISURE. To see beauty and to live it is to
possess large securities for such a life.
In dltfuslng among the American population knowledge and ap-
probation OF the fine arts W shall also dihuse the artistic sentiment
about labor. The artist is always working with mingled gladness and
disappointment toward an ideal he never attains. 1t is his struggle to-
ward that ideal which makes his life a happy IL That is the spirit
in which all the work of the community should be done. Everybody
should be TRYING TO REALIZE PERFECTION in his art OF
trade or daily work.
TOWARD THAT 'oEALzAr,oN OF DAILY LIFE THE LOVE OF
THE LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL WITH THE LOVE OF THE GOOD
Is SNORT AND SMOOTH.

An old a In Il Scotch village had
a big eight day clock which needed
repair. SO he took it on his back to
carry it to the watchmaker's. As he
went along the village street an nc

and passed or. After he had got about
fifty yards away his friend called out
to him. Hi" Back went the old man

The American Spirit of Unrest

=" ~ ~|---NN' 'i"S" VI N~ 1oN
1WHE country needs men of thought and men of learning, and
needs them badly. The man who thinks may be a greater
patriot THAN THE MAN WHO DOES. 1t has been
said that no amount of means and light will avail unless ac
companied by action, which is the same AS saying that the brain would
be useless without the power of expression. We have defined action
as the two prizes Of thought. The good old motto, Act in haste; re-
pent at leisure" no longer stands at the top of our copy books. We
have ST persistently preached the doctrine of action that we are almost
convinced that any action is better than none.
WE SUFFER FROM THE SPIRIT OF UNREST, which
frequently prompts us to i'll consider and take t~houghtless action often
merely for the sake of doing SOMETHING. We are inclined to a-
phud the man who does, not so much because he accomplshcs any
thing useful as because he accomplshes something, be it good, bad or
indifferent.
Inns spirit OF unrest permcatcs our whole national life, political,
social, educational. Contentment bids fair to be banished from our
existence. lie who is content is snecrcd at as being without ambition.
CONFINEMENT AND HAPPINESS ARE SYNONYMOUS,
but we refer to both in a struggle for the obtainable. We're our ambi-
lions laudable our state of mind would be most comfortable, but u
fortunately we scarcely KNOW what we re striving fr.

The Influence of
.:s,a,n~. The European Concert

~ AS the influence of the concert Of powers of Europe been
bencfccnt2 Has its existence been Il good fortune to Eu-
rope' On the whole, yes. 1t has tended to keep before the
nations the broad view Of the peace and welfare of Europe
as an end more desirable than the triumph OF ANY ONE STATE.
If it has sometimes oramped the autonomy and liberty of a small state,
on the other hand it has often prevented the ABSORPTION Of tho
small state by some greedy and tyrannical neighbor. Greece, ham,
pered in the aspirations Of her restless and exctable people, is more
prosperous and happy than she would be under the Turkish rule, from
which the concert delivered her AND NOW PROTECTS HER.
Belgium, relatively insignificant, but neutralized, is far more fortu-
nate than she was al the cockpit of Europe. Perhaps the greatest fail
ue of the concert is in the Ottoman empire and the Balkan states.
But it must be admitted that the problem there is one of extreme diff
Guilty, with all the defects and all the abuses which can be charged up
against the concert.
So signal, indeed, have been its benefits that the distinguished
French statesman and author llanotaux said in a speech to the French
chamber that the concert is "the only tribunal and the only authority
to which all can and should bow"

In 1872 our Jewish community was
augmented, several families locating
here, viz, A. Rosenwald, D. Gottlieb,
Sam Jaffa and j. Goldsmith and per-
haps one or two more. During the next
ten years, until about 1880, the follow
ing families located here: Simon and
Jacob Sanders, Sol Schwade, S. Fran

Henry N. Jaffa, A. Mansbach and Sol H.
Jaffa married, and our Jewish commun-
ity numbered perhaps fifteen families.

held until he resigned few years ago,
and Joseph Sanders succeeded him and
holds the office at this time. After Or
ganization of the congregation Sunday
school was organized by Samual Jaffa
held during the holidays until 1886,
when Rabbi Glueck was engaged, and
regular Friday evening and Saturday
morning services were inaugurated. A
choir composed Of the children Of the
Sunday school assisted in the services
and Sephar Tora was also procured.
Services were then held in the Masonic
hall and later in the opera house. Rabbi
Glueck remained here about two years,
after which the congregation was with
out minister. Services were continued
regularly, Samuel Jaffa officiating. The
building Of a temple was then consid-
cred and a lot was purchased. Money
was subscribed by the members. Fairs
were held; donations solicited until a
fund of about $4,000 was raised and a
contract let to erect a temple. 1t cost
about $4,000 The additional money
needed was borrowed of the Endowment
Fund of the mai B 'rith.
About this time the congregation en-
gagged Rabbi Il. Prudential, then Of
Des Moines, Iowa, and so well has he
cared for the welfare of the congrega-
ton that he is our rabbi to-day, the
congregation having retained him seven
teen years. Some several years ago
parsonage was purchased, and though at
best we are but small community Of
Jews, the congregation is practically out
Of debt. The present membership Of the
temple is about forty and the Jewish
population of 1876.
In 1876 home for the dead was pro-
vided by the purchase of two and one
half acres of ground adjacent to the Ma
sonic cemetery and it is well cared for
and beautifed by cemetery board.
In 1875 Trinidad Lodge No. 293, I. O.
B. B., was organized with twenty-five
members, nearly half of them residing

ident membership was very small, never
theless the attendance was always good
and quorum was always present. The
lodge exists to-day in fourishing condi-
ton.
The Hebrew Ladies Aid Society was
organized about sixteen years ago and
has accomplished much good as a bene
factor to the poor and needy. 1t has
also assisted materially to raise money

Miss May Kahn married Theodore Baer,
who is associated with Jake Kahn under
the firm Of Baer Bros, wholesale liquor
dealers, and Edwin, the youngest son, is
with his father in the grocery business.
The happy home Of Marx Kahn is pre-
sided over by his daughter, Tillie, since
his life's companion was laid to rest in
1899. He is esteemed nay, beloved
all who know him. Well known and well
liked is also Ike Kahn, brother Of Marx,
who lost his wife and oldest son, Lee, in
the same year, 1899. Lee graduate from
Rush college, was universally liked, had
an excellent medical practice, and all
Leadville mourned his loss. Ike Kahn
remarked a few years ago. Morris, his
second son, graduated at Harvard as
physician and surgeon, and is now con-
sidered the foremost surgeon in Lead
vile, while the youngest son, Herman,
graduated from Rush College in dent
istry.
With the keenest sentiments Of friend
ships memory [ mention Jake Helm
berger, the nephew and adopted son Of
Dr. D. Heimberger. Born in June, 1867,
he came to Leadville in 1884 and started
to work for the Herald-Democrat In
the course Of time he worked himself up
to become the sole owner Of the paper,
and at his death on June 1, 1904, the
whole community felt his loss deeply
All business was suspended during his
funeral and the stores and business
houses of Leadville were draped in black
The whole community paid homage to
him who was veritable prince in Israel.
Other sons Of Leadville Jews have at
tanned great success, but I cannot men
ton all. M. Zeiler's son graduated in
medicine from Ann Arbor with high
honors. Appointed on the medical staff
at the Panama canal, he did not avail
himself Of the appointment. Sam Koch,
son Of S. Koch, who officiated at Temple
Israel for three years, while still stud
ent of Union Hebrew College in Gin
natl, is now a prominent young rabbi
who occupies the pulpit in Pensacola,
Florida, and is held in high esteem by
his congregation.
