THE NECK RUFF.
It Reached Its Full Glory In the Six
teenth Century.

teenth Century.
One Of the most peculiar and inter-
esting e%volutions in historic fashion is
the growth and development of the
ruff in England. This ruff began its
career as a humble little something
like a tuck running along the top of
the chemisette from shoulder to shout
der. You can see 1t grow in the
portraits Of royal ~personages slowly,
but surely, like a great linen flower
opening its plated petals from genera
ton to generation. During the reign
of Henry VII. 1t was scarcely more
than a budding eXcrescence. but with
Henry VIII. it had outgrown its tuck
stage to the extent Of reaching up to
the ears and was beginning to sport a
mild flare. Those were the days of
such strict sumptuary laws that in or
der to wear black genet you must be
royal, to wear sable you must outrank
your %viscount neighbor. to veal mar
ten or velvet trimmings you must be
marks a year. The reign of Edward
vi. and Queen Mary merely fostered
the ruff without encouraging it to any
greater development. But Queen Eliza
beth, seeing in it possibilities for Off
setting her red hair and clear skin,
famed it into vigorous life. In the six
teenth century the ruff burst into full
bloom. Men and women eve tiny
princesses, were overshadowed by the
stiff rays Of the ruff on all great occa-
sions. Even over France, Germany
and Italy it spread its white pinions
and held unquestioned sway until 1t
fell with the Roundheads.

A SHORT SPEECH.

Made by an Indian Chief In Reply to
a Government Agent.
Old Shah-bah-S kong, the head chief
Of Mile Lac, brought all his warriors
to defend Fort Ripley in 1862. The
secretary Of the interior and the gov.
ernor and legislature of Minnesota
promised these Indians that for this
act of bravery they should have the
special care Of the government and
never be removed,
A few years later a special agent
was sent from Washington to ask the
Ojibways to cede their lands and re-
move to a country north of Leech
lake. The agent asked my help. |
said:
II know that country. have camp
ed on it. 1t is the most worthless strip
Of land in Minnesota. The Indians are
not fools. Don't attempt this folly.
You will surely come to grief"
He called the Indians In council and
said:
my red brothers, your great father
has heard how you have been wrong
ed. BE said. 4 will send them an hon
est man. He looked in the north, the
south, the east and the west. When
he saw me, he said, This is the hon

winds of fifty-6ve years have blown
over my head and silvered it with

Old Shah-bah-Skong sprang to his
feet and said:
my friend, look at me! The winds
of more than fifty winters have blown
over my head and silvered it with
gray, but they have not, blown my
brains away"
That council vas ended.

THE ROOSEVELT GOVERNOR" OF COLORADO

editors partner bought the land at
a low figure because no one else
knew of the sale. The governor
"smelt mouse" sent a man to in
vestigate and the district attorney
has the papers and the editor and
his friend are to say the least,
nervous.
Perhaps one of the most noted
events in his official career that
was ever mentioned was in con
nection with the San Francisco
fire. The people of Colorado were
responding nobly, The governor
anxious to see that the peoples
contributions were well distribut.
ed, sent for friend and sent this
man to San Francisco, who saw to
it that the supplies from Colorado
were properly distributed. Not a
word was ever mentioned in the
newspapers because the governor
requested that it be kept silent.
An eastern railroad undertook
to secretly put deal through the
state land board that would have
given them nearly one-fourth the
coal land of western Colorado.
The man that was handling the
deal afterwards told the Chieftain
reporter that he would have made
100000 had it gone through.
Tremendous influences were
brought to bear, but they never
feazed the governor The APP
plication was withdrawn long be-
fore the time for it to be considered

years. In fact it was agreed that
a strike Was to be called on GER
tain day. Both miners and mine
owners were anxious for the con-
tiict, One day a committee of
mine owners visited Governor Nc
Donald and asked what he would
do i'll regard to maintaining law
and order and if he would allow
them to deport the miners.
Gentlemen" said he, IF
strike is called and local officers
can't control it, will; but it will
be law and order on both sides.
I'll hang the first man who blows
up mine and I'll hang the first
man that undertakes to deport a
private citizen. When | go in
there will be law and order on both
sides and not on one side alone.
The mine owners went away
crestfallen and the next day COM
nittee Of miners visited him and
and asked him what Ne would do
and they got the same reply. Two
days after that the miners and
mine owners got together, settled
their differences and the strike
was not called.
Neither cared to go up against
the law strictly enforced.
Two months after that another
strike was imminent and other
committees, who visited the gov
ernor, got the same reply and went
back and settled their troubles.
At one time during his admin
istration coal company made ap-
plication for certain coal lands in
the state. The governor looked
the application over and did not
think it read just right. He is a
practical surveyor and one Friday
night he slipped out Of town, put
on some old clothes, went down to
the place and surveyed it and
found that there was just twice az
much land in the application as
the chart showed. He went back,
sent for the president of the COM
pany, and told him he had better
withdraw the application, that it
would cause him trouble If he un-
dertook to push it. The president
took the hint and withdrew it and
the school fund was enriched sew
eral hundred Thousand dollars by
reason Of the governor going down
and spending two days surveying
for the state.
There was not u dollar paid out
Of the internal improvement fund
for roads and bridges during the
past two years that Governor Nc
Donald did not inspect the bridge
or road. He went over every mile
Of road built by the state and in
spected every bridge.
Many trips were taken by him
when the people along the road did
not know who he WAS. At one
time company put in II faulty
abutment for bridge and he
made them do the whole thing
over before he approved the bill.
A weekly newspaper with II cir.
culation Of a few hundred. went in.
10 deal to secure some state land
in q fraudulent manner. The AL.
vertisement for the lands was run

state hou w and no Others. and tn.

The following article was pub
lished in the Pueblo Chieftain' $
Sunday magazine ct January 20,
1907, and at this time it was not
known that the Hon. Jesse F. Nc
Donald would ever be candidate
for governor again, and therefore
was not published for political eff.
feet. 1t gives an insight into the
sterling character of this man
which every voter should knew.
A few days ago Colorado chang
ed her officials at the state house
The most important of these
changes is the position of governor
and in that change man was re-
tired to private life who has, with
in the period Of two years, erected
for himself a monument of person
al esteem and confidence from one
end of the state to the other
No man ever accepted public
trust under greater disadvantages
than did Governor Mcdonald two
years ago. At that time the cap
ital and labor classes of the state
were rent in twain as result of
the two years conflict, and so hor-
rible had this conflict been that
people outside of Colorado char
acterized the representatives of
both labor and capital and the
state officials as we'll, as being an
archists, law breakers and un.
American citizens.
Out Of this turmoil, Lieutenant
Governor Mcdonald became gov
ernor. When he accepted the po-
sition statements we're freely made
that accepting the position, as he
did, his administration would be q
failure, but how di6eren, has been
the result.
The phenomenal change of pub.
lie sentiment can best be told in
the actions Of the daily press. Two
days after he was inAugurated a
Denver Newspaper cartooned him
as worm squirming about on an
empty seat. Two days before he
retired from Office the same paper
cartooned him as Colorado's great
est executive.
And why this change Of senti-
ment. Why was il that y man
could in few short months bring
the people Of the entire state from
condition Of opposition TO him to
worship at his feet! II was be-
cause he was governor and was
honest and did his duty quietly
and without any blare u trumpets
Those who knew him best ~ chief
executive loved him most.
There was one thing Governor
Mcdonald despisetl and that WAS
publicity To his official scts. Many
an incident occurred, which. had il
been known ut the time, would
have made him grent, bat he did
not tell it and IL il became known
would not let the press boys pub.
lish it. The following are . few VI
the incidents that occurred during
his administration which shows
the metal Of the man, hat which a.
yet have never been made public:
