 Instances of his sort can be multi piled and they are found in all the va- rious irrigated districts of Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah and other Western states, as we'll as Colorado, but aside from an occasional reservoir serv- ing small acreage, there has been no considerable irrigation in the immedi- ate vicinity of Denver from storage waters. So that the increase in value of acreage tracts close to Denver is yet to come, and fortunate is the man who "gets in on the ground foor," se- curing his land and water rights before the big increase in values which is sure ly coming.

Lands within 10 miles of Denver can be bought to-day at lower prices than lands equally distant from Fort Collins, but this difference in values will be quickly changed by the Standley Res ervoir irrigation now developing, and land immediately about Denver will get quick advance, to the profit of those prudent and thrifty people who have the forethought to stizs the op- portunity while it is within their grasp.

And her face was thinner and color
less-ivory against the dark glory OF
her hair: but illness had not dlmmed
the old beauty.
An aching passion of tenderness and
pity swept him, leaving him in that
first moment dumb. There was so
much to say, but he could find no
words. So much to say-the reas-
surance that what she had done was
still a secret, that she had only to re-
main silent and no one would ever
know how Philip Hume had died; and,
above all, he wanted to tell her that
he held her guiltless through 1t all;
that she, too, must hold herself guilt
less-morally guiltless, for an act done
when her mind had swung so far from
it's balance as to leave her hardly re-
sponsible. But the words would not
come. He touched her hand gently.
"I am glad you have come; / want
ed to see you SO much, Stephen
want to ask you something" she said
How faint and frail the voice was!

their uplifted light was unclouded by
the fear or horror he had expected to
see reflected there. Il seem to nave

almost expected her first words to
have reference to the tragedy; she
had said she wanted to ask him some
thing, only perhaps she could not find
the courage-Was waiting for him to
speak. How could he put it into

dared not ask, to take the sting out OF

MAY GET SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
The Presidents Hunting License and
East Africa.

The Presidents Hunting License and
East Africa.
President Roosevelt, not having sig
nified his intention of asking special
privileges for his hunting trip in Brit
ish East Africa through diplomatic
channels, it is supposed that he will
take out an ordinary fifty pound
(S25O) license from the colonial office
This. however, has not yet been ap-
piled for, though it is always usual to
demand such licenses several months
in advance.
Under them each hunter is limited
to 60 animals, except in the cases OF
lions. leopards and crocodiles, Of
which he may shoot as many as he
wishes. AS set forth in the new
licenses. the president may kill two
elephants, two rhinoceri, ten hippo
potamus. twenty-one antelopes, two
buffaloes. two earth hogs, two earth
wolves, ten chevrotains, two egretS
and one chimpanzee.
CRATES, wild asses, secretary birds
and a number Of other species are
forbidden to any nimrod not armed
with special privileges.
President Roosevelt will be required
to set forth in his own handwriting
the animals he intends to kill, as we'll
as the locality where he will hunt.
Before leaving Africa he will be re-
uuired to declare what animals and
how many he shot.
One of the organizers of the trip,
an American interested in the develop
ments of Narobia, said that he did
rot believe the president would ask
for diplomatic privileges, "but he has
an idea that a unique special license
will be presented to Roosevelt long
before he puts a rife to his shoulder
for the first time in East Africa.

Training Horses to Be Jumpers

much less wearing than the strain in
separable from clearing built-up OBJ
stacles.
Naturally, for horses taken from the
running ranks at the age of five or
six years to learn new tricks no syste-
matte method of steeplechase training
has been evolved. In the main, how
ever, the same principles are used.
At first the horse is required to clear
a low obstacle, and as his education
progresses the height is increased UNI
til finally he is able to take the regu-
lation hedges or fences.
Some of the novice fencers turn out
to be so-called natural jumpers, TAX
ing kindly to the new vocation, learn
ing quickly TO take fences without
hesitation and to land properly. With
these, when stamina is once develop
ed, their education is quickly complet-
ed. The natural jumper gives his
trainer little difficulty. A few lessons
over the low hurdles, two or two and
a half feet in height, lead up to efforts
at increased heights, the bar being
placed so that if it is hit it will fall.
These low hurdles are easily rugged
up by a trainer, and i'll some of the
higher class establishments two or
three fences that approximate the
regulation hedges are constructed. A
few weeks or months of education
with the horse that takes naturally to
the work will fit him to appear in pub

LAMP SHADE IN EMBROIDERY.
Costs Little, and Makes Dainty and
Effective Gift.

One of the most attractive OF the
new lamp shades is one that can
easily be copied by the girl who can
embroider. 1t is done in Madeira en-
broidery on the sheerest handkerchief
linen or Persian lawn, and is made up
over an empire frame covered with
shirred silk.
A particularly attractive shade was
made for a small lamp. The frame
was circular, about ten inches IN
diameter at the bottom and six inches
at the top. This was covered with
emerald green silk, gathered to the
frame at top and bottom.
The outer cover was Of white
batiste, finished on the upper and
lower edge with a tiny scallop such as
is used on a fine corset cover. The de-
sign was an open one of dragons and
twining foliage interspersed with eye
let's.
The work was done in fine white
mercerized cotton, in the over and
over stitch wherever the work was
raised, but most often in the eyelet
stitch.
There was just enough OF the satin
stitch to relieve the fairness of the Ma
deira embroidery. Such a shade costs
little for materials, yet is dainty and
effective as gift.

lie with the colors up, the trainer be-
ing practically assured of a creditable
debut.
With the pupil whose ability to
clear hedges must be very gradually
developed, if ever successfully, train
ers and handlers experience no end
of trouble Even the least formidable
hurdles repel an animal with little or
no inclination to learn. 1t takes
lot Of patience to make a steeple-
chaser of an unwilling horse.
Work of this sort with a horse
which brings TO the jumping field no
liking for the task is always exciting
because he must be forced to do prac-
tically everything. Trainers teach
their embryo steeplechasers on their
own premises, but if they lack the
facilities the novice is taken to the
race track and there taught what he
must do In this way the average
racegoer sometimes sees an important
part of the preliminary work that re-
suits in turning out the more or less
finished jumpers.
The Instructions, from the trainer
to the hoy who exercises the horse,
are usually explicit and based on the
hope that the equine pupil will forget
his dislike for the work and do his
hest.

Few spectacles arouse more enthu-
slasm than field Of horses flying
over obstacles in competition for a
purse or trophy Or in pursuit of a
fox. To all appearances the hedges
and fences add little to the difficulty
of the task set for the well trained
and eager animals. The spectator, in
fact, will at times gain the impression
that the actors delight in performing
their parts. To the onlooker the feat
appears easy-merely a question of
rising and clearing each obstacle as it
is encountered.
Yet training horse for steepIe-
chasing, hurdling or hunting presents
serious difficulties. Not all horses are
inclined to exercise their natural abil-
ity to jump, especially when confront
ed with the difficult obstacles that
must be cleared on the race track or
in the hunting field For work of this
kind the art of jumping must be cul-
tivated. The animal must learn to
jump high and far, and it is often a
tedious task before the training is
finished.
The men who teach horses to Jump
for purposes of steeplechasing and
hunting look for size and conforma-
ton along approved lines. Especially
large animals are not desired, because
as rule they are clumsy and lacking
in speed. Neither do they care for
the small horse, which must naturally

There is a curious story of mingled
quaintness and superstition told about
the building of the mill dam across
the Pocantico, near to Philipse castle,
at Tarrytown. Lord Philipse post
poned the erection Of the church of
the Hollow in order to complete the
dam, but the dam burst each time he
tried to build it.
In his distress he was approached
by Harry, his old slave. Harry told
his master that in a dream the Lord
of heaven had been revealed to him
when the Lord said the church must
be built first if the dam was to re-
main firm when constructed. Philipse
followed old Harry's advice

Her illness had lasted nearly three

accomplished without difficulty by his
larger brother. So it happens that a
majority of the successful cross coun-
try performers are Of medium size.
In this country the steeplechaaor
used on the race tracks purely as a
money making proposition is rarely
a perfectly sound animal. and for that
reason he has not been great sue
cess in the true sense OF the word.
Men who have followed the cross

for twenty-five years, and who may
properly be classed as experts. If
asked to name the really great

more than half dozen superlatiVe
jumpers have ever been seen on this

One reason why American horse
men have not developed their cross
country performances to the extent
that fat runners have advanced is
that up to few years ago prizes were
small, and the incentive for owners to
place sound. well bred horses at
steeplechasing was very slight. In
fact, it has been the custom to use a
horse in fiat events until unsoundness
developed and then, if he bore the ear
marks of a jumper, send him over
the sticks" 1t is q turf paradox that
an unsound horse will last longer at
steeplechasing than on the fiat. Yet

REDINGOTE OF BLACK SILK.
Garment Especially Adapted for the
Quiet, Conservative Woman.

For quiet, conservative women is a
redingote of heavy black corded silk
hanging straight-there are no seams
save those under the arms-and the
fronts lap easily, buttoning twice be-
low the bust; from here the fronts
slope back to show much of the skirt
of the dress beneath At the front
corners and in the middle corners of
the back, where it is slashed waist
high to allow walking room, are dec
orative bits of colored embroidery
mingled family with gold and silver
threads. Above the front closing, the
material is cut away and the space is
filled with lovely brocaded silk in faint
dull shades of cOlOrs. This is adjusted
in crossing folds that rise to shape
a high directoire collar at the back;
filling the space at the throat is a
cravat of the new canvas that has
wholly replaced the net and null of
the summer time. This new canvas is
oddly woven in rather large meshes
with line hreads.-Vogue.

II Happened in Church.

A southern clergyman tells the fol-
lowing amusing story:
After the morning sermon one Sun
day he had read the notices for the
week, and then announced the closing
hymn-Number So and SO, At that
moment one of the deacons came down
the aisle, and the minister paused to
hear what he had to say, which was
that the pastor had forgotten to give
notice of a meeting of the ladies of
the congregation.
Accordinly, the divine gave the no.
tice, apologized to the congregation
for his forgetfulness, and then again
announced the number of the hymn,
and proceeded to read it. His feelings
and those of the congregation may be
imagined when he began:
"Lcrd, what a thoughtless wretch
was IT,"

makes serviceable and effective edge
trimming. Sprigged or dotted net
combines as well as any other kind
with the heavier variety of lace used
for the collar. A lining may be added
under the shirred guimpe and the up
per part left transparent. This is a
better arrangement and allows one to
have quite deep and graceful curve
to the tucker without making it look
too thin. The sash shown in the
guimpe illustration is novel and pleas
ing in the way it laces under the front
panel of the dress and fastens at the
left side with a large rosette.

TURKISH LACE IN FAVOR.
With Other European Kinds 1t Threat
ems Supremacy of Irish.

The lace from Ireland is having a
rival in the lace from Turkey. The lat
ter is widely sold and quite durable.
It is coarser than the Irish lace, but
it's patterns are effective. 1t comes in
edgings and insertions in all widths,
and costs less than the other lace.
There is also a large demand for
Austrian crochet lace, but this is usu-
ally seen in mats for trays or tables.
It is even cheaper than the Turkish
lace.
These are quite the fashion for after
noon tea trays. AS they are not ex-
pensive, they serve as an excellent
suggestion for Christmas gifts.
These squares Of Austrian lace are
row put together for bedspreads, and
these are much desired. They are laid
over a faint color of china silk, and
are used with mahogany as well as
brass beds.

Persian Effects Popular.

Persian effects are still good and are
conspicuous among the best members
of trimming collections. One of the
most charming class of trimmings is
the one in which fine beadwork plays
a large part. In these trimmings fine
silk braids of exquisite weave furnish
outlines and the beads, solid filing
for the centers OF motives and for
borders. The loveliest green's, blues,
rose colors, etc, are worked out in
these braids and beads. The solid bead
work of to-day is not embroidered on
a background like Indian work, but Is
made in woven and strung patterns,
the result of lighter effects.
