and ending with the discovery of gold
in California in 1849. These incidents
were:
Cortes entering the temple of the
sun in Mexico; Pizarro with the horse,
progressing in the conquest of Peru;
the burial of De Soto in the Mississip-
pi river; the rescue of Capt. John
Smith by Pocahontas; the disembark-
alton of the Pilgrim Fathers; Penn's S
treaty with the Indians and the set
tlement of Pennsylvania; the indus
trial colonization of the New England
states; Gen. Oglethorpe and the Mus
cogee chief in the settlement of Geor-
gia; the Battle IF Lexington; the Dec
laration of Independence; the sur
render of Cornw allis; the death of Te-
cumseh the American army entering
the City of Mexico; the discovery of
gold in California in 1S49.
These are the painted incidents as
they stand today, and there remains
room for one large or two smaller ad-
ditions. The ugly gap in the great
dome of the rotunda of the national
capitol mars it's beauty to a marked
degree. For more than dozen years
the guides have told visitors that the
great paintings would be finished dur
ing the year, and for dozen years
or more the artists rough scaffolding
hung in place, useless, blot on the
| beauty of the rotunda.
Inability of the lawmakers to agree
on a suitable allegory to complete the
cycle of events represented has been
the drawback in this really necessary
matter, and all the begging and plead
ing on the part of the architect that
the work be completed has availed
nothing. The rotunda of the capitol
is its most attractive feature. 1t is
usually the first part of the great
building which a visitor sees. a
The renovation of the dome and the
rotunda waits on the completion of
the frieze and in its present condition
there are evidences of bad housekeep-
ing. The rotunda is 95 feet 6 inches
in diameter, and 1S0 feet above its
marble floor hangs the canopy of the
100000 pound dome, which gives
the capitol it's imposing appearance.
Around this dome are galleries, to
which thousands of visitors climb
every month to get nearer and better
view of the decorations.
1t has been broadly limited that but
for the fear of engendering sectional
feelings designs would have been
agreed upon years ago. An illustra-
ton of the surrender at Appomattox,
the emancipation proclamation or
anything touching any of the histor-
ical events of the civil war would not
meet with the approval of those who
espoused the lost cause or who lived
in the south. That this has been the
cause of the deadlock there can be
but little question, and members of
the committee who lean toward the
civil war panel idea have been asked: ::
''Why take an incident of the civil
war? Nowhere in the frieze will you
find a picture of George Washington,
and the Father of His Country ought
not to be left out in the picturing of
the history of America"

His Quick Recovery.

81 was so glad" said Mrs. Oldcastle,
to see DR.. Goodleigh in the pulpit
again last Sunday. He had such a
time of it. Dear me, it must be per-
fectly dreadful to have ones appendix
removed. I dread it SO that l don't
know what should do if 1 had to un-
dergo an operation. They said, when
the doctor went to the hospital, that
he wouldn't be out again for a month
or more"
81 know It," replied her hostess as
she started the diamond-studded
phonograph, but l guess he re-
puderated a good deal faster than they
expected"

Floral Path to the capitoI.

Senator Wetmore would transform
the gateway to the national capitol
into spreading lawns, fountains, and
flowers. He introduced a bill appro-
priating $2,5OO,OO0 for the purchase
of six blocks, a majority OF which are
occupied by buildings, lying between
the capitol and the new Union sta.
ton. These buildings he would tear
down, substituting for them an eA-
panse of lawn, dotted with statues and
flower beds.
This change the senator believes,
would make the entrance to Washing
ton the most beautiful in the world.

Ing constantly improved, the patent
Starches put on the market 25 years
ago are very different and inferior to
those of the present day. In the lat
est discovery Starch-all in
furious chemicals are omitted. while
the addition of another ingredient, in
vented by us, gives to the Starch a
strength and smoothness never ap-
preached by other brands.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-05-23

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm.
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

day, not long ago, after she had fin

and his coat of many colors, she said:
