STOCK SHOW is BUSINESS.
Meeting in Denver January 19th-23rd
viii Result in Big Live Stock
Sales

The fourth annual stock show and
horse fair of the Western Stock Show
Association, which will be held in Den
yer during the week of January 18th
23rd will bring together the producers
of pure blood from the East and the
range stockmen of the West The
western men will bring big loads of
range cattle which will be eagerly
sought by the eastern stock feeders,
and the eastern men will bring pure
bred stock, which will be as earnestly
bought by the western breeders. Pub
lie sa:es Of Shorthorn, Hereford and
Galloway cattle will be held by the
National Breed associations and there
will be private sales OF Angus cattle,
pure bred sheep and hogs. This an
nual stock show has grown to be a
great national event and while the
business end attracts the stockmen and
farmers, the exhibition OF the finest
stock in the world makes the show
popular with all classes. The new Ma
tional amphitheatre, just completed at
a cost Of 100000, will seat 5000 peo-
pie. 1t has an arena 100x20O feet in
evening exhibitions are possible. A
feature of the show this year will be
the horse show events every evening
together with the parades Of fine stock
of all kinds.
The champion six-horse team of the
world, owned by Morris & Company
of Chicago will be exhibited every
night with the celebrated Swift six.
One team is Of gray Percherons and
the other Clydesdales. They will be
driven in the arena, and the driving ex-
hibition meyer fails to evoke the great
est enthusiasm. There will be other in
terestir features and the indications
are that the full capacity Of the build
ing will be tested every night.
Entries of stock already received in
dicate that this will be the greatest
live stock event ever held west OF Chi
cago.

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN STARTED BY

HOPE TO RAISE $4,000
LARGER QUARTERS ARE NEEDED

SLOWLY.

Denyer.-An energetic campaign is
about to be started by directors of the
Y. NJ. c. A. in order to raise funds for
the health farm located at Edgewater,
The hope of the directors is that they
may raise $4,000 or $4,000 for the
furtherance of the work at the farm.
Larger quarters are needed, as many
OF the most deserving young men are
unable to find accommodations there.
At the present time there are thirty
three men located at the farm. The ca
pacity is limited to fifty persons. In
winter there are usually several va
cancies, but in the summer hundreds
are turned away. The money raising
campaign is to be undertaken in Colo
rado first and then in the East. Some
OF the wealthiest philanthropists have
either refused to aid in the work or
have put off making their donations
until later date. Although rebuffed
for the present the Y. NJ. C.. A. direc-
tors declare they will not give up but
will keep at it until they raise all the
money needed TO carry on the work
successfully.

But she was white and trembling as
she spoke. and cast an apprehensive
glance at the floor, as though she ex-

The cellar" whispered Elizabeth

Now, the cellar was a part of our
abode we had not yet explored. SO it
had all the mystery OF the unknown,
and as we crept stealthily into the
kitchen we experienced sensation of
standing over a bomb which might at
at any time explode and annihilate us.
Gabrielle valiantly advanced to the
door leading down into it, and opened
1t the fraction OF an inch.
Who is there?" she said, beginning
bravely enough and ending with a
quavering whisper.
OF course there was no reply, and
we would have been frightened to
death II there had been, yet we felt
indignant at the stiffness, as well as at
the impenetrable darkness our eyes
could not pierce. Gabrielle shut and
locked the door.
Shall we go down." Her voice was
rather tremulous, and she looked re
lieved when we shook our heads de
cidedly.

As though in response to her name
the outer kitchen door opened, and
Mary Anne herself, wet, draggled and
breathless, stood before US.
Her usually ruddy face was pale
and her eyes rolled wildly as she
looked from one to the other. while
her shawl slipped unnoticed to the
floor, and we saw that her gown was
badly torn and her arm scratched and
bleeding.

NEW BELTS MADE TO FIT.
Dress Accessory Which May Be Re-
lied Upon to "Stay Putt

If the eavily-embroidered linen
belts, or well-canvassed cloth ones,
persist in slipping up to disclose the
waist and skirt attachments. there is
way out-and it's all in the shape.
Was there ever problem in the
realm of fashion that could not be
solved by some womans genius?
There are women who have just ex-
actiy the correct contour to be per-
fectly fitted about the waist line by a
straight band of material, which
stays put" but is that a reason to
suppose that every belt must needs
be straight? 1t is quite enough Of

cept the lace stock made in one size
only" for every neck (the saints be
praised for collars in quarter sizesD,
but, while the ready-to-wear beltings
lin embroidered galloons and the like
are necessarily straight, all belts
turned out by tailors and at homs
need not conform to a pattern fitting
half the public.
A very simple solution is the belt
looking like every other belt when
round the waist, but cut two inches
and half wide in the center back
and sloped gradually to a width of
an inch and quarter at each side of
the front. The extra width in the
back lies over the hooks on the skirt
band, and the usual narrowness in
the front slips more readily into most
belt buckles.
