Endowing the Juvenile Court society
with the proceeds of the sale of a gold
mine is the latest notable act of Mrs
Ida De Mond, society leader and mil
from that city. Mrs. De AIond has been
interested for number of years in the
work Of the court conducted by Judge
Ben 3. Lindsey of Denver. She Iii

trips to Newport and Bar Harbor and
eastern centerS Of society and the seri-
Gus work Of caring for the poor and
needy at home. Lately she decided to
give the juvenile court substantial aid.
eff we only had an endowment fund"
Judge Lindsey told her when discuss
ing her philanthropic project, 1--WE
would be able to do a great deal more
good
So Mrs. De Mond decided to make
donation to the boys Of Denver, one
that she had earned all by herself. She
laid aside the stunning gowns that had
been the envy Of fashionable women
Of Capital hill and, arraying herself in
corduroy, HE'D away to Goldfield, New,
where the gold excitement was at its
height Mrs. De Mond knew something
Of mining, and what she lacked in
knowledge she made up in zeal for the
boys court of Denver
The great Montgomery Shoshone mine
had just been discovered, and it was
decided by experts that the ledge ran
north and south. Mrs. De MOnd locat-
ed ground to the west of the discovery
shaft, naming her claims after the two
burros. Kentucky and Goldenrod, that
carried her prospecting outfit into the
desert
About that time Fred G. Shaffer, re-
garded as the mining wizard Of the
west, had shrewdly decided that the
rich ledge in the camp ran to the west.
He offered Mrs. De Mond small for
tune for her claims, and she refused it.
Charles NJ Schwab Of the United States
Steel corporation. who was negotiating
for the Montgomery Shoshone mine,
had his experts investigate the trend
of the ledge, and they reported that it
ran into the claims located by Mrs. De
Mond.
Mr.. Shaffer renewed his negotiations
for the claims and secured them for
S25, 1000 on condition that he act as
trustee and pay yearly into the treas
ury of the Juvenile Court association
fund at Denver one-ffth Of the amount
until the sum received for the claims
was exhausted.
''Mr. Shaffer will not lack for addi-
tional funds when those are exhaust
ed,' said Mrs. De >Mond. II know
many rich women in various sections
Of the country who will follow my eX-
ample. The boys Of Denver must be
taken care Of"
Mrs. De Mond was off in her private
car for trip through the old missions
Of Lower California with party of art
list friends before the ink was dry on
the deeds she gave Mr.. Shaffer. She
will return by Christmas time, when
the annual benefit Of the Juvenile Court
association, which is one Of the social
events of Denver, will be held.

To Burbank of California.

rThe poet of the Chicago Record-Herald
calls on Luther Burbank to produce a
homeless fish,
Don't waste your time on homeless fish.
We have them now. The canned sardine
And homeless cod, as you we'll know,
In every country store are seen.
But shell-less oysters we would like
And shell-less CLAIMS would also hail,
And Holsters and the toothsome crab
Without their horny coats of mail;
Would also like a stingless bee,
Mosquito without song or bite,
A Jumpless flea and wingless fly
That will not fly away at sight.
But, II you'd gain the worlds applause
And heap up piles of shining cash,
4 d0gless sausage please invent
And then produce a hairless hash.
