The principal of the Denver High
School has ordered the girls attend
ing the school to have pockets made
in their dresses. The reason given
for this requirement is that the pu-
pills Of his school are necessarily ex-
posed to temptation by girls careless
ness with money and other valuabies.
Every day eight or ten purses are found
about the school building and brought
to the principals Office. He consid-
ers 1t remarkable that the pupils are
20 honest, but thinks 1t unfair to
put their virtue to this constant test.
Hereafter, II the principals action Is
supported by the local board, every girl
attending the school will be expected
to have in her clothing a safe recep-
tacle for the money she carries with
her. The old time joke about tie dill
Guilty of finding a woman's pocket has
been a sad reality and no joke for
several years. Only, instead o. the
difficulty lying in the cunning with
which the pocket is hidden, the fact
is that there is no pocket to be found.
Most women prefer the risk OF losing
their money to the certainty OF being
considered questionable If they tave
rockets in their dresses. That more
purses are not snatched from women's
hands on the crowded streets Is won
der. Two recent cases illustrate the
dangers to which the habit Of carrying
the purse leads. In one case shopper
left her purse on a counter, and the
woman who picked it up and returned
It was arrested as thief. In another
case a woman had her wrist lacerated
by a thief who made practice OF loi
tering on the railway platforms and
snatching purses through the open win
dows as the train started. No argu-
ment and no authority can affect a mat
ter of authority. A law forbidding
women to tempt thieves by carrying
valuables in their hands would be a
dead letter from the first day. 1t may
be that the Denver pedagogue has hit
upon the right scheme. If once the
girls become accustomed, under compul-
sion, to the use of pockets they will
not be willing to forego this convenient
arrangement when they grow older.
Colorado is a State where the women
have equal rights with the men, and
the right to have pockets Is more i'm
portant than the right to vote. II the
lesser masculine prerogative is claim
ed by the women, why not the greater?
Denver may be the pioneer in a move
ment of vast importance.

One of the oldest, safest and most
fayorably known remedies in the world
to-day is Brandreth's Pills-a blood
purifier and laxative. Being purely vege-
table they can be used by old or young
with perfect safety and while other
remedies require increased doses and
finally cease acting altogether, with
Brandreth's Pills the same-dose always
has the same effect no matter how long
they are taken. One or two pills taken
each night for a while is the best thing
known for any one troubled with cor
stipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or any
trouble arising from an impure state OF
the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been In use Tor

yards at Kiel. She Is not yet q years
of age, but exerts more commercial in
fuence and possesses greater indus
trial power than any other woman In
the world. She is a pretty girl with
dark, rich complexion; dresses plainly
and is a superb horsewOman. She is
in close touch with the gigantic indus
tries under her control and knows per-
sonally thousands Of her begrimed en-
ployes. Her delight is visiting their
families, looking after. their needs In

After the wedding the bride an
nounced that she and her husband
would give $25O,OOO toward the work
mems invalid fund. Her mother said
she would give another $25O,OOO and
would also donate 125 acres of land on
which to build model economical cot
tages for the workmen.
The great Krupp fortune. to which
she fell the principal and directing
heir. is one of the most gigantic in the
world. The history Of the Essen fac
tory dates back to 1910, when Peter
Frederick Krupp began his expert
ments in steel-making and was ruined
thereby. His son, Alfred Krupp, left an
orphan at IA, was the real founder OF
the house. He took up the experiments
where his father had left them. and
from the manufacture of unveiled
tires for wagon wheels drifted Into
the making of guns. When the Prince
Regent of Prussia, afterward Emperor
William I. Of Germany, gave Krupp an
order for 800 guns, he made the future
of the works secure. Since that time
more than 10000 gigantic weapons
have been supplied to no less than
thirty-five nations and States. To-day
the Krupp field gun is the basis OF the
mobile artillery Of Germany. Austria
Hungary, Italy, Russia and Turkey.
For three generations the Krupp
works had descended from father to
son. but there was no son to succeed
Baron Frederick Krupp. But Bertha
had been her fathers chum and confi-
dante and she knew almost as much
about the works as he did. Therefore
he named her as his successor, and she
has proved well equipped for the task.

lumber, with the consequent increase
in the cost of wood make the erection
of fences on the farm matter OF con-
Germ, for the landholder heretofore has
looked upon wood as proper material
for the construction of an effective
fence. Metal-that is. fence wire-has
almost entirely replaced the rails which
at one time were considered necessary

find, however, that timber is, in most

farmers might make more butter than
they would require for their own use;
and the surplus they would sell, as
they would their surplus eggs, to the

And you find larger farmers. too.
farmers perhaps keeping many cows
and selling the bulk Of their milk TO
a creamery, still continuing to make
the butter that they need for them
selves and making it, as they have al
ways done, in hand churn.
Such churns are sold to people iv-

keeping cows, who make their own
butter because they prefer to, anyway,
and they are bought by various people
