Tho Nov Football.

During the past two months advo-
Gates and opponents Of football and
those who regard 1t dispassionately
as human activity. to be reckoned
with and understood, have had oppor-
tunity to see 1t played under the new
rules. For some years educators and
parents objected that the game was
morally and physically injurious.
Some good players. frank enough to
brave the charge of disloyalty. con-
fessed that the game was all work
and little sport. Spectators protested
that the play was formless struggle
Of massed power. not Ineligible. nor
pleasant to watch. except for thrills
Of partizan loyalty. After long con
ference the rules were changed. 1t is
evident that the changes were real
and In the right direction. The play
is now more open. There is more
chance for agility and speed, less
scrimmage and shock OF mere weight
and muscle. The players cover more
ground in a given series of plays.
Offenses against good conduct are
easier for the officials to see and pun
fish than In the old dense formations.
From all parts OF the country come
expressions of satisfaction with the
improvement. Spectators find 1t more
Interesting to watch. Players seem
to enjoy It better. Besides observing
the formal rules of the game, players
have felt that football was on trial.
and have evidently tried to show a
good spirit. Several prominent edu-
Gators who opposed the old game
think that the new game has earned
its right to an extended probation.
There is room for further improve
ments, remarks the Youths Compan-
ion. Undesirable roughness is still
possible. Those whose duty 1t is to
frame the rules can proceed on the
basis Of this years experience toward
yet better game. The real faults
lie in loss OF temper under excitement
and the presence of a spirit which
drives contestants to try to win at all
costs. Football cannot be made a
satisfactory game by mere changes in
its outward form: real Improvement
must be in the spirit Of the contest.

Secretary Shaw.


washington. next public

ber 127, which is bounded by Eigh-
teenth, Nineteenth, Champa and Stout
streets This was the decision of Sec
retary Shaw, rendered in a few min
utes after the views of the Colorado
delegation in Congress were laid be-
fore him Friday afternoon.
All members of the delegation, in
GLIDING Representative-elect Cook,
were, invited to be present at the
conference Messrs. Brooks and Cook

matters, and those who attended were

Representatives Bonynge and Hogg.
At the conference each member OF
the Colorado delegation in attendance
disclaimed any personal interest in
any of the sites offered. and all agreed
that the one recommended by Super
vising Architect Taylor and selected
by Secretary Shaw was the one which
, could utilized for the erection of

tent met with their approval.

men look for understanding of their
work and methods. Nevertheless, a
vote of cordial appreciation and com

speaker. Men get things done. and
they are SO fine and loyal" Did the
president wish to imply that women
are not loyal? No, but she argued
for a more catholic spirit and q
broader tolerance among women-a
greater willingness to take one an.

one respect In which men have oppor.

Companion. Their business life brings
them into contact with men of all

sTRArroN HOME.
Estate VIII soon Begin Building at
Colorado Springs.

Colorado Sprfngs.-The affairs of
the Stratton estate will be closed in a
few months at the latest, probably by
July 1st. and work will be begun at
once thereafter on the 100000 My
ron Stratton home for the poor. for
| the construction and maintenance of
which the late w. 8. Stratton be-
queathed the bulk OF his estate.
1t is also planned by the executors
to replace the one-story building
owned by the estate on the corner OF
Seventeenth and Welton streets, Dem
yer. by a six-story brick and stone busi-
ness structure on eleven lots, to cost
approximately 100000.
Carl s. Chamberlin of this city, one
OF the three executors of the estate.
and a nephew of the dead millionaire
and philanthropist, is authority for the
announcement.
No definite plans have been made
for building to replace the Toltec
block on Seventeenth and Stout
streets, Denver. although modern
structure may be built on that site at
some future date.
w. s. Stratton died in this city four
years ago, leaving an estate valued at
slightly over $6,000,000 He bequeathed
PtVu,OvO " iCiati'Cos
friends and institutions. and provided
that after all legacies and debts we're
paid the residue should be applied to
the maintenance of the Myron STRAIT
ton home. named after his father.
The site and buildings OF this home
shall cost not to exceed $1,000.000. The
home must be built in Ell Paso county
and will probably be built near this
city. All worthy poor of good moral
character are eligible. The order of
precedence is Ell Paso county, state of
Colorado and the United States.
The executors of the estate Carl y.
Chamberlin and DIR. d. II. Rice. both
of this city. and Tyson s. Dimes of
Denver, after closing up the estate,
will turn over the money to the trus-
tees of the home. Rice and Dimes are
also trustees. together with former
Judge Moses It. Hallett.
The construction of the home does
not depend on the sale of the holdings
of the estate, since the executors are
not obliged to sell until satisfactory
price is offered. The Myron Stratton
Home Association will be formed by
the trustees.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
early trade last week was quite active
bnt. towards the close demand slumped
on considerably a. buyers began to
get home for the holidays and the mar
ket was quiet. Supply was about 1000
head against 12.400 proceeding week
and 5000 for the same week last year.
Good beef steers were fairly active and
| steady. Cows 10 to 15c lower on ac-
count Of big eastern declines. best
heavy feeders about dime lower and
common 10 medium feeders and stock
ers on 10 to 15c. Some good western
Nebraska corn-fed cattle were mark
eted; steers selling at $4.75 to $5.25,
and cows at 1915 to s4.00. A bunch
of fancy Colorado grass steers brought
s.. 90 for Christmas trade and a bunch
of choice corn feds from Douglas
county, this state, sold at $4.S5. Sew
eral punches OF fancy grass COWS
brought $3.40 to $3.50, but most Of the
supply OF good killers went at 81 .65 to
SO 20. Country demand for feeders
was very good early in the week, but
during the lated days very few out
side buyers were here and dealers took
hold gingerly. Trade on the whole
was much more satisfactory here for
the week than at the eastern markets.
A few fancy steers sold at $3.50.
freight paid and others at $40 fiat,
but bulk OF the best offerings went at
$3.50 to 1920. Indications point to a
light demand and quiet market this
week.
Hog supply was fair during the past
week, but demand was also good and
they all sold readily. Prices went
higher early in the week, but later all
of the gain was lost and market at the
close of the week was about nickel
lower than week ago. Tops are now
quoted at 1920 with the range down to
$612h
The sheep demand was very fair but
supply limited. Prices rule about
steady and little change in conditions.
Demand for feeding stuff is exception
ally good, but packers have a very
Igood supply of killers and inquiry Is
not SO strong in this division.

JUVENILE CRIME IN ITALY.
Eighty Per Cent. Of Child lGalefac-
tors Manufactured By Bad
Environmsnt.

Consul Britain. Of Kehl, Germany.
furnishes some startling statistics on
juvenile crime IN Italy. taken from an
article recently published and written
BY LIMO Ferriani. He says that 80
per cent Of the child criminals Of
Italy are manufactured by bad en-
vironment and inadequate education
lin other words, by preventsble
causes; that 20 per cent of the GRIM
inals Of the country are minors, and
Of these 16 per cent are thieves.
Prof. Ferriani protests against SEN
timental description, but pleads for
scientific Investigation. He himself
has closely studied 500 boy prisoners
between the ages Of II and IA, and
reports that moro than half of theu
came from the most wretched homes,
and over 200 Of them had criminal
parents. Very few had ever done any
work, al were sexually corrupt, nearly
all smoked, and many had q tasts

WORDS BUT RARELY USED.
Strange ssntence In English Which

A philologist was talking about
words. There are over 5000 words
in the English language" he said, hut
we only use q few thousand Of them.
The extra ones are NO use to us. Any
man could sit down with . directory
and write in good English . story
that no one in the world would under
stand. Here, for instance, can you
make head or tail Of this7"
And the philologist pattered OF
slibly:
Il will asainbuy the atabal. You
are asweyed? Yet this IL no blushet's
bobance nor am cudden, either.
Though the atabal Is dern, still will
againbuy It,"
ThA he translated:
II will recover the drum. You are

boasting nor am I fool, either.
Though the drum il hidden, still wilt
recover It."

RARE ORCHID AGAIN FOUND
Plant Long-Sought Has Been Redis-
covered on Recent Thibet
Expedition.

An orchid which for so years has
bafled all the attempts Of collectors
to find its native haunts has been re-
discovered. This orchid ia the cypri-
pedium Fairieanum, which is one Of a
random collection made in Assam in
1857, sent to London in the same year
and bought by Mr.. Fairie, of Liver
pool, In whose possession 1t bloomed
and was daily hailed and described in
orchid literature as one Of the most
beautiful orchids hitherto known. Sew
eral other plants Of the same orchid
came with it, and the species was at
once named Fairieanum, after MI.
Fairie.
From the day of its first discovery,
in spite of scores Of expeditions and
perilous journeys by collectors, not a
single plant was found until some
member of the Thibet expedition, .
few months ago, discovered q whole
bunch of the plants He sent them
along to Calcutta, whence two were
dispatched to Kew, and others are
gradually coming through to England.
Probably another 50 years will
elapse ere more Fairieanum are found, "
said British specialist, "for no pri-
vate collecting expedition is likely to
venture into such a country. My own
belief IL that unless another military
expedition traverses the same grou9d
there will never again be chance of
getting plants"
The plant towering at Kew has fve
growths and two flowers. The second
plant is developing nve blooms. The
flower has . sIeader, hairy scaDe about
ten inches in height, prominent and
charming dorsal sepal, one and three
quarters inches in length BY one and
