ford of Denver. A reception was held

fry that proved one of the most enjoy
able parts of the program. Everybody
was provided with all the fish they
could eat. Friday evening the men of
Gunnison gave a program entitled,
"Woman's Work Through Masculine
Eyes" and one can easily imagine that
it provided an avenue for some rare wit
and humor.

The Saving Habit.

Every person who is able to work
no matter what his or her calling,
should start bank account at the
earliest opportunity. This applies just
as truly to the small wage Garner or
the farmer as to the manufacturer or
the merchant.
A bank account is the strong bulwark
that checks the advances of want and
misfortune and in their stead puts cheer
and sunshine.
We possess unequalled facilities for
the satisfactory handling of CONNER
cial or Savings Accounts.
Your investigation is invited.

The long-coated suit is variously ex-
pressed this season, but there is GER
tain unanimity on the part OF the tail
ors that a rich broadcloth is the best
vehicle for their work.
A soft shade of deep rose red, just
what one sees in jacqueminot rose,
is employed for this smart design,
and there is just touch of velvet
richly embroidered that makes sug-
gestion of vest edging.
A taffeta passementerie is used to
border the open front all the way
down. and the easy fullness of the top
drops into a smartly curved ceinture.
The coat skirts are applied with a
prettily shaped hip seam, deep plaits
in the center front and back, making
for graceful fullness. The sleeve is
a full gigot model, the shoulder built
out in the form of cap, and the full
ness tapering below the elbow drops
into stiff cuff that rises well up
from the wrist.

Brilliant CoIored Feathers.

Haunting plumage of most vivid

enough. not even the most brilliant
feathers are left as nature colored
them. They are dyed even more bril-

the moment.
Peacock tail plumage is used In It's

feathers of the same bird are dyet a

To Make nightingale Sleeve.

The nightingale sleeve is worn a
great deal upon the tea gown, for it
is comfortable and pretty, and it can
be made at home, which is a great
thing in its favor. If you have an old
sleeve rather large and flaring at the
hand, you can slit it right up to the
shoulder, letting it fall wide open.
Now you will want to make series
of big eyelt holes, through which you
can run ribbons, so that they will tie
in little bows on top of the arms, or
If you do not feel equal to the task
of making the eyelet holes, you can
take rings nicely embroidered and
sew them to the sleeve, after which
you can run ribbons through these
rings.

Be Ready for Instant Battle.

A man should keep his mind up to
the standard; he should keep 1t dis.
ciplined and ready for action. To do
this 1t must be trained, drilled every
day in mental tactics. so that it will
be strong, vigorous and alert, ready
to act in an emergency with the maxi
mum efficiency of which it is capable.
What condition for a sea fight would
our navy be in if we. for five years,
dropped all gun practice and allowed
all the naval officers and sailors to do
as they pleased and have good
time.
Your mind is your personal navy.
Your faculties are your ships and
men; and if you are not ready for
life's great battle, ready for an emer.
gency how can you expect to con-
quer when the crisis comes success.

EAGLE sklLLFuL IN STRATEGY.
Cunning Devices Used by the Mon

Nunn'h9 DEVICES USED by the Mon
arch of the Air.
Ornithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in
the habit of attacking large animals,
but contest Witnessed by an observ-
err dispels such theory. The battle
was between an eagle and stag.
The bird singled out from a herd
one particular buck, which it succeed
ed in driving from the rest 1t struck
the animal with its powerful wings,
knocked it down and finally killed it.
A still more remarkable spectacle is
well authenticated. An eagle attack
ed fawn in the highlands of Scot
land. The cries of the little one were
answered by it's dam. which sprang
upon the eagle and struck ii repeated
ly with it's forefeet Fawn, deer and
eagle rolled down declivity, the bird
was dislodged from it's hold an the
fawn rescued.
Many traditions are extant as to
the carrying OFF of children by eagles.
The most recent case bearing close
scrutiny is one which happened in
South Africa. A Boer farmer whose
stock had been harried by eagles lay
in ambush for the robbers and saw
one of them descend and carry off the
5-year-old child of one Of his Kafiir
servants. He shot the bird. which,
with the child still clutched in it's
grip, fell into thorn bush. The bird
was dead, but the child was little
hurt
Two eagles will stalk a covert in
concert. While one conceals itself
the other beats about. the bushes with
great screaming. driving out its quar-
ry for the hidden eagle to swoop
down upon. An even more insidious
method has been observed. An eagle
seeing a sheep on the edge of prec-
ipice flew at it, screaming shrilly and
with forceful beat of wing hurled it
into the valley below, where it could
devour 1t as leisure, In the light of
such records there Is good reason for
believing the legend of the eagle drop

Aeschylus. the Greek poet, and so

his account so seriously as nearly to

anybody suspected. Eaton simply
