1.-THE WEST AS 1T WAS"

Cheyenne, Wyoming, is getting ready
again for it's celebration Of Frontier
days, July 25th, 26th, 9th, in which the
"West as it was" will be staged upon
it's own native prairies and the actors
will be the men, soldiers, horses, Indians
and stage coaches that were once the only
occupants Of the Frontier, but which
would soon be forced off the stage en-
tirely were it not for the annual call for
their return to the Magic City Of the
Plains. The Frontier days is realistic
reversion to the early days and the whole
city gives itself over to the celebration
and to hosptable entertainment of its
guests that is still characteristic Of the
free and easy west.

Clyde Fitch in kindly letter to a
young man and unknown playwright.
said: II liked your play; thought it
promising, but in the first act you imi-

Pinero, and in the third and fourth you
initiated Barrie. This will never do.

For many years Mrs. Frank maintain
ed Sabbath school for the poorer Jew
ish children in the eastern section of
the city. In fact, her benefactions are so
numerous and so quietly conducted that
many Of them are not known to the pub
lie. Her amiability Of temperament, and
generous impulse, together with her char
tiles, have won for her the love and es-
TEEN of thousands Of the citizens of Bal
timore.
Her brother, Isidor Rayner, represents
Maryland in the United States Senate,
and is one of the most prominent law
yers in this country. Before going to
the United States Senate he served his
State in the Legislature and as Attorney
General. He was also a member of the
Fiftieth, Fifty-second, and Fifty-third
Congresses. He was elected to the Sen
ate in 1904, succeeding Senator Louis E.
McComas. In the historic controversy
that grew out of the awarding Of credit
for the destruction Of the Spanish fleet
in Cuban waters on July 3, 1898, Mr..
Rayner, then in the House of Represen-
tatives, won additional fame as the chief
defender Of Rear Admiral Schley.

See America First.

America has been called "a nation OF
shopkeepers;; It might be called "a
nation OF sightseers." AS the popula
ton and wealth increased so has the
tendency for travel, which is today one
os the characteristics of the nation.
The American tourist is familiar

search for health and pleasure. for the
beautiful and unique. he has gone from
Maine to California, and even abroad
However, there is an inherent desire
to "see America first" There are
many spots in our own country, and in
picturesque Mexico adjoining on the
south. some Of them off the beaten
track, not now well known to the great
army Of tourists, especially those in
search of a warm and more equable
climate during the winter months,
which are daily increasing in popular
favor.

Rocky mountains to the sea, formed
by the Colorado & Southern lines,

pleasure seekers of Colorado and con-
liguous territory.
The excellent travelling facilities now
available will certainly develop a large
movement south during the winter

This 10 a True Story.

Denver.-Turnips weighing nineteen
pounds, rutabagas that tip the scales
at thirty pounds and potatoes as large
as loaf of bread are some of the
phenomenal products of the San Luis
valley in the vicinity Of Monte Vista
and AlamOsa. G.. A. Van ScOy OF Den
yer. went through the valley recently
in an automobile and brought back
with him an exhibition of root crops
that would take first prize for size
at any fair. They are on exhibition
at the Nichols automobile garage, 1G4O
Broadway, and are attracting the at
tention Of hundreds who pass that way
daily.
The turnips, some of which run to
twenty pounds. were grown from ordi-
nary seed. and are as sweet and
wholesome as the smaller variety. To
cut one of them quickly requires the
services of an AK or some equally
heavy instrument because their bulk
is entirely too great for the ordinary
knife. The turnips are as large as
an Indiana pumpkin.
The potatoes are OF the White Pearl
variety, and were grown on the farm
OF C. P. Moss seven miles south of
Alamosa. They run IT'S sacks to the
acre. and 12O potatoes fill sack. They
sell at eighty cents per hundred
weight.
Wheat grows to a height of nine
feet. and all other crops are in pro,
portion. In the San Luis valley a few
years ago it was thought that no good
crops could be raised, but it has
proven to be one of the richest dis.
tricts in the state. The field pea is

A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor Of

Bellinu a Rat,

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast. but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling OF that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore it
was constantly on the move all night.
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid Of the
bell. they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
to another rats tail. the rodents would
have had dance every night.

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien
fists and the exponents of unbeliei
benefited themselves or humanity al
large by sowing the seeds OF doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense Oh
the word: they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now. those who have disposed O.
the Bible and all evidences OF inspira
tion. have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases. they have
been extremely successful. but real
success means the benefit OF human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result OF
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel

FILL THE SEA WITH GUNS.
New York Police Dump Five Thousand
RevoIvers Into the Water,

New YOrk-Five thousand reyolyers
and firearms, filling thirty-two big
packing cases, and valued at more than
5000, were unceremoniously dumped
into the waters of the outer harbor
this week, forming the chief act of a
New York pistol party which may take
its place in history with the celebrated
party in Boston harbor a century and
third ago, in which tea instead of pis-
lois took the prominent part. The pis-
lois IN question make up the arsenal
siezed by the police in the last year
and quarter from citizens and immi-
grants who were addicted to the con-
cealed weapon habit
Formerly these firearms were sold at
auction just before the Fourth of July,
but as this placed most of them in the
hands OF the same classes from which
these troublemakers had been confis-
Gated. new law was passed last win
ter enabling Police Commissioner
Bingham to destroy them. 1t was de-
cided that the safest thing to do would
be 70 throw them into the sea, since
while they would not endanger the fish,
they would be safe from recovery. This
was accordingly done, the firearms be-
ing carried to the police boat on patrol
wagons and then taken down the bay
to their watery end by Commissioner
Bingham himself.
A more varied collection of weapons
it would be difficult to find even in the
largest museums. All varieties, from
automatics and gold-mounted pearl
handled American revolvers to curious
oldfashioned pistols from the Oriental
countries apeared in the lot. Many
taken in the Servian quarter show
strange Arabic workmanship and are
strangely wrought. Many would have
brought high prices as curious, but the
police believed that it was better to re-
tire them permanently from circula-
ton.

make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-inilicted loss of prestige by de.
monstrating thru suits for damages,
that it can be more artful in evading
| liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims of its defamation,
or does it hope for starting a campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dignatiOn, reprOach and resentment
which it has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judgment
against it. That great jury, the Pub,
