The Lace Qressers.

Lace dressing has been considered a
necessarily unhealthful occupation on
account of the intense heat required to
be maintained In the room. In some
cases the temperature exceeds 100 de-
grees +. and much moisture Is evapO-
rated from the wet fabric The evil
dence brought forth at recent inves-
tigation In England, however, shows 1t
to be an exceedingly healthful pursuit.
New workers are often temporarily up
set at the beginning by the high tenn
perature, but no cases could be found
where health had broken down. On
the contrary, some ailments-colds, for
instance-were found less prevalent
among lace dressers than among the
workers In other branches of the in
dustry. Time keepers books showed
few absences from illness. No special
tendency toward lung diseases could
be found, Notwithstanding that most Of
the workers lived In poor and insani-
tary localities and led irregular lives.
Many lace dressers now enjoy vigorous
old age after doing this work from

Gotch a Rich Man.

Nine years ago Farmer Burns, the
veteran wrestler, went to Fort Dodge,
Iowa, to give an exhibition Of
scientific wrestling. and to show his
physical prowess advertised to throw
any local man in fifteen minutes.

small farm in Humboldt county. He
had won a reputation as q threshing

friends prevailed on him to try con-
illusions with Burns. He went on the
mat AMI stayed out the fifteen
minutes. Burns had a talk with him
after the show; told him he was the
best amateur he ever met and induced
him to enter the game as a profess
sional. He made good under the
Farmers careful tutelage and the
business was profitable from the first.
Today he is worth about $l25, 600.
One of the first things he did was to
pay off the mortgage on his fathers
farm and since then he has done all in
his power to make the old people COM

addition to being the world cham

Frederick the Great.

Frederick William L., father Of Fred
erick the Great was most brutal old
fellow, treating his son almost as badly
as they treat the exlles In Siberia. IN
able to endure such barbarity on the
part Of his father, Frederick resolved
to run away and seek refuge at the
court Of his uncle, George III. of Eng
land. Ready to assist him In his at
tempt were his two young friends,
lieutenants Katie and Keith. BY the
imprudence or Katie the secret was
found out. and Frederick was placed
under arrest. Keith escaped, but Kat"
was tried by court martial, sentenced
to death and executed. Frederick also
was sentenced to death and would
have been shot but for the earnest ex-
postulations Of the kings Of Sweden
and Poland

The Deaf and Dumb.

In early times 1t was an opinion,
maintained even by philosophers, that
the education of the deaf and dumb
was impossible. 1t was then believed
that language could be acquired only
through the medium of the ear as
shown by the couplet Of Lucretius:
To instruct the deaf no art could ever
reach.
No care improve them and no wisdom
teach.
The first mention Of instruction for
the deaf and dumb is found in Bede,
A. ID. 6S5. No other case Is met with
for some centuries. Rudolfus Agric-
ola Of Heidelberg makes mention of
an educated deaf mute in his "Dialec-
tica," 1880. 1t was not until 1920 that

Morgan, yesterday closed a deal with
the North Sterling Irrigation District
to build 105 miles of ditch and con-

the 10000 acres of the district at a
cost of S2.000,000.
The district is north and east of
Sterling, and will be supplied from
the South Platte river and Cedar

Garfield states that, because of
waste and seepage from the immense
territory irrigated from the Platte in
Weld and Morgan counties, the wat
er supply in the river near Sterling
is tenfold greater than in Weld coun-
ty.
The reservoir is to be built at

About an hour was spent at the
hotel. AT seven O'Clock the parade
of marching clubs, autos, carriages
and citizens formed near the hotel
and few moments later Mr.. Bryan.
Mayor Speers, Mr. Hughes, Senator
Teller and others left the hotel and
took their places in the carriages
reserved for them. Then the parade,
one of the largest seen in Denver in
years, began to move toward the
auditorium. There were over 5000
men and over ten big marching
clubs, six bands of music, hundreds
of carriages and autos and great
numbers of people on foot in that
moving column. Torch lights held
by marching men gave the great pa
rade most picturesque appearance.
