For Our Women Readers.

AS probably all of you know, the
name QUAKER on package OF
rolled oats means exactly what ster-
ling does on a piece of silver.
Both stand for PURITY. In an
other part of this paper you will find
an advertisement of QUAKER OATS,
now put up for the first time in large
FAMILY PACKAGES at the same
price as inferior oats. In addition you
get in each package FREE a beautf-
full piece of imported china. Read
the advertisement, and then ask your
grocer for a FAMILY package of
QUAKER OATS. You will be delight
ed with the oats, and more than de.
lighted with the beautiful present in
the package.

of news am giving sketch of a
dress worn at one of the recent func-

in deep ''prune de Monsieur" velvet,
the skirt cut quite plain except for
the line of old silver buttons down the
front seam for third of it's length,
and a trimming of two bands of plum
colored braid round the hem, sepa-
rated by cross-bar pieces of the same
braid. The charming little coat was
Axquisitely fitting, and was cut with
square tabs edged with silver braid
and buttons, similar to those on the
skirt at the corners. The revers were
in white satin, below these with small
silver buttons. The sleeves We're

English Banker Ruined by Bet on
Forty Days of Rain.

There were few frenzied financiers
in England at the beginning of the
eighteenth century, if the banker Bull

told, can be taken as an example. The

Trusting implicitly in the old super
stition, which says that if it rains on
Saint Swithin's day it will rain for
forty days thereafter, Bulliot opened a
pool for everyone who was willing to
bet against him. The affair attained
so much notoriety that the wager was
reduced in writing.

cepted as stakes not only money but

Romance in Writers, Lives.

A strange comedy and tragedy was
woven into the lives of Ibsen and
Bjornson. AS young men they were
great friends; then politics flung them
apart; they quarreled and never met
for years and years. Strange fate
brought the children of these two
great writer's together and Bjornsons
daughter married Ibsen's only child
The fathers met after a quarter of a
century of separation at the wedding
of their children.

The Marrow Escape Of Captain Tumley

BY j. c. PLUMMER

The captain told him.
"Tumley, Ell? Steamer Patmos,

When the stranger had disappeared
Capt. Tumley brought his fist down on
the table with thump.

When Capt. Tumley returned to
the Pa'anos he had commissioned the,
Rev. ME-. Gholson of Grimsby to CALI
the bans of Julia Pray of Grimsby par
ish and Henry Tumley of Southwark,
"Hif she don't want 'em she can
say so. l don't want 'er to say it to

mixed a grog before retiring. The
right quantity of brandy, ditto of sugar
and little warm water was in the
glass ami the captain was shifting the
aroma a9provingly when there was a
commoti9n on deck. Before the mari
ner could sing out as to what was the
mattea a man came tumbling down the
compaaiUn way.

Numbered the newcomer in a voice
that would have carried to the main
royal yard in Cape Horn gale.
What the devil to you mean by
sticking your bloomin' bans ahead of
mine"
In mute establishment the captain
gazed into the face of his late COM
panion at the inn.
What do you mean? Say it. Cler-
gyman just ordered to call bans Henry
Tumley, that's you, and Julia Pray,
that's my girl. What do you mean by
it?"
rs Julia Pray the girl you've come
to marry?" gasped the captain.

man. you can have your bans called

Then she never expected me to

Then she didn't bust hout a cryin'

liner.
Wouldn't think of dom such
thing" asseverated the man. Nov
what are you goin' to do?''
Eagerly the captain explained to the
irate man just what had prompted
him to have the hans called, and then
told him the whole case.
'You see," added Capt. Tumley, II
didn't want to marry her no how"
why not?" demanded the man.
she's too good for the like of you
The captain fastened to explain that
he didn't desire to marry the best wo-
man in the world.

all over you. You've no spirit"
The two started at once for the cler-
gyman's house to rectify the mistake,
and the man remarked on the way:
I'D have saved time to have run off
with her. Obstinate. Wants fathers
consent. Had to do this. He'll agree
when hears bans cried"
With some difficulty the clergyman
was convinced that an innocent error
had been made and the name of Job
Watson was substituted for that of
Henry Tumley.

wedding and gave the bride very

Myrtle Mills, Oquawka, Ill.
Miss Matilda Borman writes Mrs.

Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
Before taking Lydia 3. Pinkham's Vege-

dreadful headaches.
"But since taking the Compound my head

regular, and am getting strong and well. l

is sick and needs motherly advice, ask
her to address Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass, and tell her every detail of her
symptoms, and to keep nothing back.
She will receive advice absolutely free,
from source that has no rival in the
experience of woman's ills, and it will, if
followed. put her on the right road to
strong, healthy and happy womanhood.

medicine that the world has ever
known. Why don't you try it?

Colorado Leads

Colorado can raise the best sugar
bsets in the world, and with proper
.care and cultivation the average crop
per acre can be doubled. This is
the opinion Of Ernst Grotkass of
Madeebsrg, Germany, former beet
sugar expert for the German Agri
cultural association, and recognized
as one of the most eminent authori-
ties on sugar beet culture in the
world.
"Ths climatic and soil conditions
OF Colorado and the region about the
Rocky Mountains generally are un-
s9uslled anywhere for the sugar beet
industry" says Mr. Grotkass. "The
beet sugar possibilities of the west
are unlimited. This country can
produce all its sugar without de-
pending on Cuba or other cane coun-
tries. 1 think ihe government does
not yet recognize the Importance of
the industry or there would be
greater efforts visible to foster and
protect it,"

The Public SchooI.


The Lamar public schools will
open on Tuesday, Sept. Bird, and
Lamar Union High School No. 2
will be opened on the same date.
Once more Lamar has demonstrat-
ed its ability to rise to an emergency.
The rapid growth Of the town dur
ing the last year rendered the two
buildings heretofore occupied by the
school entirely inadequate. In u
few weeks after the opening of school
the handsome new Lincoln building
will be ready for occupancy and
ample room is thus provided for
all. Three additional teachers are
employed for the grades and one for
the High School. With the pleas
ant quarters thus provided and with
the increased teaching force the
school will be greatly strengthed in
the efficiency of its work.
The High school will be larger
than ever and will occupy nearly all
of the upper floor of the Main build
ing and also the chemical laboratory
in the basement. 1t should be
borne in mind that the Lamar Union
High school is an accredited school
and that its diploma will secure en-
trance to all the best colleges and
universities of the middle west with
out examination.
During the summer another dis
trict has joined the Union High
School District thus making eight
districts i'll all. The increased in
terest in the Union High School
manifested by districts outside of
Lamar as we'll as within our own
borders is the best possible indica-
ton of what the school is doing 1t
seems highly probable that the en-
rollment in the High School will
pass the one hundred mark this
year. The exceedingly low levy
which has proven sufficient to con-
duct the affairs of Lamar Union
High School for two years now fully
vindicates the position of those who

Why?

Why did the Denver News Times
and Post suppress the letter of May
or Speer to the public? Why did
they suppress that part of Judge
Llndsey's speech at the Woman's
club in which he declared that the
democrats had stolen more elections
in Denver than the republicans?
The answer is easy; they dare not
print the news; they will not print
anything unfavorable to the accom-
plishment of the shhemes they haye
in view-frst to get control of the
state democratic organization and
second to fool q majority of the vot-
ers into putting their candidates in

ballots we're taken from the boxes
and shown to the public by the state
Supreme Court. He was ready and
willing to have them counted for
himself. He has spent his spare
