Forgotten Claim Revived.

Denver. July s.-By the discovery Of
a forgotten letter Gen. c. =. Cooper
has probably saved the state Of Colo
RADIO about $4,000.
A year ago on July 18th letter
came from the War Department to
Governor Peabody announcing that a
Law had been adopted by which the
states would be reimbursed for their
expenditures. but the claim must be
flied by January !. 1906. A day or two
later this letter was turned over to the
adjutant general and no one thought
anything more Of II. Il seems that
the letter vas pigeonholed by General
Bell and there remained. In going
through some old papers General
Cooper came across !, and called the
attention of the governor TO the mat.
ter. General Cooper. who Il the gov.
ernor's military adviser. was In.
structei TO work with Adjutant Wells
in preparing a claim for the state.

a Beloved Mother" Who Is One of
the Leaders in Helping the Dis
tressed Families of Soldiers
in the Field.

New York City.-That the women Of
Japan are made of the same stuff as the
men, though obliged to take a lesser part
in the present conflict with Russia, is
abundantly evident from an article con-
tributed by the wife of Admiral Uriu
to Harpers Bazaar.
The rich and the poor, the high and
the low, have but one object" says Nine
Uriu, Ito encourage those who are at the
front, to help the distressed families
whose supporters have been chosen to
fight for their country, and, lastly, to
help those families whose dear ones
have died for the cause"
One of the leaders in this work is a
most interesting woman by the name Of
Joko Oliumura, the organizer of the
Ladies' Patriotic association. Nine.
Okumura although not young woman,
appears to be animated by spirit of
burning patriotism and love for human
ity that knows no rest
Before the war with China broke out
she was greatly interested in the
Koreans, and labored increasingly for
their welfare She induced the Korean
government to build schools, and col
lected money in Japan for girls school.
The Koreans worshiped her, and
called her Beloved Mother" She was
in China at the time of the Boxer rising,
and made a practice of attending the
funerals of the dead japanese soldiers.
1t was a touching sight, says Nine. Uriu,
to see this gray-haired woman kneeling
in prayer for the departed souls and one
which many times affected the specta-
tors to tears. She went about among
the wounded soldiers continually. sOoth-
