New York. December 15.-Announce- ment of preparations to fight the printers of New York by the employing printers of New York, was made today by the Typothetae of this city. The eight-honr day which the International Typographi- cal union has decreed shall go into effect on January 1. 1906, is declared to be the cause for issuing this statement which Is In part as follows:
 "The closed shop and the eight-hour day demanded by Typographical Union No. cannot and will nO be granted.
 "The members of the Typothetae are prepared to install competent machine operators and other printers in their va rious composing rooms. These printers have been obtained by canvass of the various parts of the United States. and also by graduates of the schools for ma chine operators in New York city, Phil adelphia Boston, Chicago Kansas City, Omaha and elsewhere"
 Chicago December 15.-Action was taken today both by the Chicago Typo thetae and the International Typographi- cal union looking toward an extension on January 1 of the printers strike which has been in progress since September last. At meeting of the Chicago Typothetae conference with the independent em- ploying printers was called for tomor- row when the independents will be asked to join the Typothetae in the struggle against the eight-hour day, abrogating the present elght-hour contracts and in- form their men they will be obliged to work nine hours a day after January 1, thus forcing a strike of the printers en- ployed in the independent offices.
 There are TOO independent employing printers in the city employing about HOO members of the Typographical union. The International Typographical union sent out circulars to the officers of the inter national organizations whose members work in the printing trades requesting them to join the printers in their fight for an eight-hour day after Januay l.

ON TIE MILLIONAIRE.

A heather Is extremely sensitive as

No millionaire wants to hurt the
feelings of his brother.
Not II he can make his money in
any other way.
To be millionaire once is great,
but 1t is great deal greater to be a
millionaire many times over.
You can then give your fellow
countrymen whole gobs of education.
In return he will gladly increase his
gas bill and burn the midnight oil.
In this way things are evened up.
Some people do not appreciate this
millionaire.
They are blind to his interests.
They seem to think he ought to d.
vide his pile with them.
They do not realize how hard It
would be for the millionaire to return
to the hog and hominy that nourished
his childhood days.

This is an unfeeling world.
The millionaire is necessity-a
prime roast beef necessity.
If it were not for him no calm and
collected trust could come stealing
over the land enfolding in it's embrace
the dealer in barbed wire and tobacco.
1t is good to be millionaire.
Much better than to depend on your
wife's relations for your bread and
butter and blackberry jam.

SOME WAYS OF CATCHING COLD

1t is interesting to learn on the au-
thority of the author Of Gold Catch
ing" that there are twenty-five diff
ferent ways in which to catch a cold.
We quote few of the most common
causes of cold:
Allowing the physical system to be-
come enfeebled through the disregard
of simple laws of health.
An uncleanly or unhealthy condi-
tion of the skin induced by neglect Of
daily bathing.
Wearing insufficient clothing in
winter.
Going to bed with cold feet.
Standing on stone or cold ground.
Standing at the fire when ones
clothes are wet-a very dangerous
practice.
Habitually sitting with the back to
the fire.
Sitting or standing in draughts, es-
pecialy when the body is warm.
Sitting or standing too long near a
window.
The excessive use of stimulating
drinks and Of hot drinks before going
out.
Living or sleeping in badly venti-
lated rooms.
Breathing the vitiated air of q
crowded room.
Too sudden exposure to heat after
exposure to cold.

OLD GLASS

The manufacture of glass is one of
the Oldest arts known, and one that has
always been of immense commercial
importance. So long as fifteen hundred
years before the Christian era, N. Hud-
son Moore writes in the June Delinea-
tor, glass was made by the Egyptians,
and nineteen centuries ago the records
state that the price of drinking glass
was half an as-the value of an as be-
ing about one cent which goes to show
that there was no glass trust in Egypt.
That the price of glass, however, has
undergone some remarkable changes
may be gathered from an anecdote re-
lated by St. Simon, who says that the
Countess de Fiesque, having trouble
some estate that produced cnly corn,
sold it and bought,a handsome mirror
with the proceeds of the sale. This
glass, costly as it was, Mrs. Moore adds,
was exceeded by at least one other,
which was valued at $4,000 in gold
the famous mirror of Queen Marie de
Medici that hangs in the Louvre at Par
is. Old glass has peculiar fascination
for collectors, and the article men
toned, which is one in a series called

"A Little about the Animals

There are many little animals about
of which most people are hardly aware
because they only move around in the
night. The prairie dog and ground
squirrel every one knows, because they
are out in the day time, but on the
plains there is mouse that is quite
common and not very often seen,
think. 1t is short tailed heavy bodied
animal, white below and grayish brown
above. 1t is often called the grasshop-
per or scorpion mouse, for it eats many
grasshoppers and scorpions where there
are any.
In the rocks and amongst the brashy
places and hollow trees you will find
deer mice or white-bellied mice, colored
mcuh like the grasshopper mouse, but
with much longer tails. think some
species of these are found all over North
America. The kind you have here are
different from those around Colorado
Springs and in the foothills, and there
are two kinds there.
In the sandy places and where there
is loose soil are the burrows of the long
legged kangaroo rats, which seem to
live in colonies. And in the same places
are found the pocket mice which are
small editions of the kangaroo rats.
There may be three kinds of these in
the county though SO far l have seen
but one, very small one with body
not much larger than my little finger.
The kangaroo rats and pocket mice all
have pockets or pouches in the sides of
their heads, the openings of which are
outside of their mouths. The striped
ground squirrels also have cheek pouch
es, but theirs open inside of their
mouths SO that the animals have to put
anything into their mouths before they
can get it into their pouches.
The pocket gophers which make SO
many mounds Of earth all in row and
have tunnels connecting them also have
outside cheek pouches like the kanga
roo rats, as you have very likely noticed
if you have ever caught one.
When they have their pouches full
and wish to empty them it is done by
placing the fore paws back of the
pouches and pushing them forward over
the pouch and SO pressing out the Con-
tents. had read of them doing so and
once had live one which l saw do it.
These gophers while injurious in gar
dens and fields are said to be useful in
uncultivated ground, as they keep

ploughing it and turning it over, and
covering up vegetable matter that is
laying there, which then rots in the
ground and helps to make the soil rich
er. These gophers that you have in
Baca county are rather interesting be-
cause they are not found north of the
Arkansas river, nor as far as / know,
much east of Lamar. Perhaps they do
not go to the Kansas line in this county.
If not another kind takes their places
to the East.
Among the rocks there may be and
hear that among the cedars there are
the wood rats or pack rats as they are
often called. These are great hands to
gather up all the rubbish in the country
and carry it to their nests and holes.
Old bones, sticks, pieces Of cactus most
any old thing laying around loose are
carried to their nests. In the noun
tains there is kind with bushy tail
something like squirrels, which we
call mountain rats. One kept friend
of mine well supplied with kindling
wood for while by dropping chips into
an empty barrel which stood in the
blacksmith shop at mine.
If there were marshy places and
meadows here you would find the field
Or meadow mice, which like such spots.
and possibly some little animals which
look little like mice, but haven't the
large front teeth that mice have.
These are called shrews.
Did you ever notice that the teeth OF
mice, rats, rabbits, squirrels, gophers
are very much alike, that all have two
big front teeth in each jaw? Beavers
have the same kind of teeth. These
animals are called rodents which means
gnawers.
haven't tried to say much about the
coyotes and wolves and such animals as
you are likely to see, as wanted to call
your attention to the little fellows that
you are not SO likely to see and know
about.

"By Jove!" exclaimed Sir Charles,
screwing his eyeglass into position,

yes; Lord Rusholme, old Iangley's
son. He is invalided home, and was to
have been here on the LIST of June. His
premature arrival hardly seems to delight
step-mamma as much as poor old Lang
ley, eh?" and, indeed, the countess dark
brows looked distinctly frowning under
her fringe of golden hair.
II didn't know Lord Langley had a
son." said the lady; but then know
no one, was only presented today"
AYE, but he has" said Sir Charles,
"and, as you see, a handsome one OF
course, it's only scandal, but people will
talk, you know, and they say her lady
ship did her best to catch him herself,
and only gave it up as hopeless when he
joined the Yeomanry and sailed for the
Cape. Then she accepted his father, and
married him, little more than a year ago.
1t looks a case of love turned to hate
with vengeance now!"
Lord Rusholme, having greeted his
father and Lady Langley, had retired
with the former to comparatively quiet
corner of the room, and was eagerly inn
parting and receiving news.
He was greatly attached to his father,
and had been anything but pleased at his
marriage with Constance Faraday, a
woman whom he rightly believed to be
worthless.
He had, at first, been attracted by her
beauty and a certain charm of manner
she possessed; but her coquetries soon
tired him, and when he showed her plain
ly that her empire over him was gone
she revenged herself by laying snares for
! and capturing, his father.
She thought to have thus concealed her
modification from the world, but she sue
ceeded in deceiving no one.
While Rusholme was explaining the
causes of his premature arrival to the
old earl the crowd parted suddenly, and
the young man caught sight of his sister
and her governess, standing between the
crimson curtains of the bow window.
"Who is that:" he said, in startled
tones.
Carries governess-I forget her name
But about the Magersfontein AFFAIR.""
Il must speak to her." interrupted
Rusholme, hurliedly; and before his
ftaher could reply, he was making his
way across the room to where the girls
for Miss Raynor was but a few years
older than her pupil-were standing.
With hasty kiss of greeting to his
sister, he exclaimed
Miss Raynor, surely I am not mis-
taken!'
