Hundreds of women in Denver and surrounding

planned to make this the most notable in the
history of this department
1t is well known that the Denver does not
carry merchandise over from season to season.
1t is also known to our patrons that we have
the greatest stock that we have ever owned
in these lines. To close the immense collection
within the season will require heroic action and
this must be along the line of price temptations
that will induce the people to come gladly
for share in the notable bargain giving sale.

AS Others See Us

nOLITENESS has never been counted the
Il national virtue, but an Italian nobleman
attached to his country's embassy in Wash
ington would make one Of its manifestations
a national fault.
The Count has been in America long enough
to have lost, along with some OF his accent, all
sensitiveness about his early difficulties with
the language He tells this story of mistaken
American kindness on himself
One Of my greatest difficulties in learning
English he said, was the politeness OF my
American friends in ignoring my what you
call breaks At first my words were not al
ways, TO say, on the spot; yet | was allowed
to say many words that were wrong till the
time came when a laugh could not be stopped.
Once at Newport my hostess took me TO
drive Bellevue-ave. was crowded, and the
horses We're magnificent. | wanted to tell my
admiration Of the high-stepping horses, but
could not think Of the word. Madam
said, what should | call this and / laid my
hand on my knee. Trousers she replied,
"'Ah now l can say my thought said l..
magnificently high Madam did not move

self trousers, trousers.
Next dav the guests Of madam were taken

drive the day before. The trousers, II you

q moment there was silence, then one OF the
Young ladies burst out to laugh, then every

Peculiar Foods

THE articles of food used by many nations
would be disgusting to American epicures.
In Africa the natives catch locusts in nets for
table use. They are salted and eaten with
great relish. The Turks esteem goldfish a
delicacy and the animal food of the Japanese
consists largely of raw fish.
The Pino Indians make soup of tobacco
worms, and the Western American Indians
eat grasshoppers. In California, the Digger
Indians feed on ants, which they prepare in
various forms. Snails are raised and fattened
in Switzerland, and then sent to Vienna, where
they eaten during Lent.
In lava the natives hold mammoth snake
hunts The flesh of the reptiles thus obtained,
especially that of the boa-constrictor, IS eaten
with relish by the negroes. Authorities say
that It much resembles the flesh of the eels of
this country. In Brazil lizards are eaten, and
in other South American countries fat hair
less caterpillars are fried in oil and considered
appetizing. Larve and maggots are utilized
as food IN both Africa and South America.
Many of the animal foods esteemed by the
Chinese are disgusting. They eat dogs, alli-
gators, mice, rats, worms maggotS, etc.
In Burma, religion prohibits the killing of
animals for food. The inhabitants thus live
largely animals that have died of disease.
Tree porcupines are eaten in parts of South
America, and the West Indian negroes eat the
flesh Of the wildcat The Eskimo are fond of
Arctic mice, which are cooked in tallow

An Odd Sermon

IT seems doubtful if there IS anything more
crooked than the following title of a
pamphlet published in 1903: The Deformity
OF Sin Cured; Sermon Preached at St.
Michael's, Crooked Lane, Before the Prince of
Orange by the Rev. ]. Crookshanks."
The pamphlet was sold by Matthew Denton,
at the Crooked Billet near Cripple gate. The
words of the text are: Every crooked path
shall be made straight" and the Prince before
whom it was read was deformed.

There are just 81 places in Topeka

running the gamut from private dwell

There may be a larger number than
these and Councilman Montgomery,
chairman of the committee, intimated
as much, but that was as many as the
committee could thoroughly verify IN
a weeks time.
The report after being submitted
caused no unwonted excitement in the
council. The councilmen sat back in
their chairs and listened to the report
and made no comment-evidently they
We're expecting something like that.
After the report was read Council
man Horn moved that the chief of
police be instructed to enforce the

addition another motion was made and
