Women Defied Church Rule.

Six splendidly clad young women,
not the least of their grandeur being
represented by the latest examples of
millinery art, swept into the First
Presbyterian church one night and
seated themselves in the most advan-
tageous seats of this the most select
house of worship in the city, says the
Seattle Times. The six did not re-
semble conspirators bent on revolu-
tionary and rebellious tactics, but they
were and they won their point.
Ladies will please remove their
hats" commanded Rev. Dr. Matthews,
when his calm glance over his congre-
CATION revealed the fact that one of
the standing rules of the church was
being violated right under the minis
terial nose.
There was no responsive action on
the part Of the six. The request was
repeated in still firmer tone, but the
rebels sat firm. and after a pause of a
minutes duration the divine began his
sermon while the six sat straight with
their plumes Haunting pean of vic
tory.

LESSON COST HIM JUST s12o.
Tale Of Farmer Who Lost His Head
During Financial Furry.

Illustrative Of the wrinkles and
furry story is told by central
Iowa banker who was carrying a time
deposit of $4,000 for farmer who
took alarm and demanded the money,
although his deposit certificate did
not require payment until January 1
next. Persuasion and argument prov
ing futile, the banker decided to ap-
pease his irate customer by paying
his subject, of course, to forfeiture
of the interest, amounting to $50. AS
a salve to his injured feelings he
handed out the money in metal, an
ticipating that when the depositor
saw its bulk he would relent But
the depositor was determined, and
shoulderng the bag of coin strode
across the street to the post office
and made peremptory call for $4,000
in money orders. 'Ill trust Uncle
Sam, and nobody else" he declared.
He received his orders in due time, a
pocketful Of them, paying $40 for
privilege of making the post Office
his custodian of funds. His total cost
to protect himself, as he imagined,
was s120.
We'll, I can go home now and
breathe easy" he remarked, compla-
Gently, as he tucked the orders
away.
Yes, you've got a good debtor"
assented the postmaster, "but will
you do me a favor?"
"Sure!"
well, I've got rheumatism in my
back and I've got to get that bag of
money over to the bank to deposit it.
Just tote it over and I'll be yours
truly"
The reassured capitalist complied,
but his subsequent conversation was
so sulphurous in an earnest effort to
express his chagrin to see that the
money went back to the bank from
which he had drawn it that the town
marshal experienced the necessity of
taking him in hand.-Los Angeles
Times.

Emerson Shows Ready Wit.

l had passed a score of summers
when | first met Ralph Waldo Emer-
son, says Julia Ward Howe in the
Delineator. We were fellow-passen-
gers on board the Soundboat, bound
for New York, and detained overtime
by snowstorm. A mutual friend had
made us acquainted just before start
ing on our way. l had not desired the
introduction, Mr.. Emerson's reputa-
ton being that of "a putter forth of
strange doctrines" much in opposi-
ton to the old theology which had pre-
sided over my religious training
Chance had brought us together, and
|, with the zeal of youth, expressed
my disapproval of the new doctrines.
DO you not see. SIR" made bold
to say. that in these theories no ac-
count is made of the devil, who goes
about. seeking to destroy human
souls?''
Surely" said Mr.. Emerson. "the
angel must be stronger than the de-
mon"

Colorado Mining Conditions.

The January figures of Cripple
Creeks production show that the big
Colorado gold camp is steadily pushing
toward its old place among the yellow
metal producers, says the Daily Mining
Record. The estimates given out from
the district show the production
greater than for any other month for
several years. Interest was started a
year ago when the drainage bore was
projected and now that some of the
most substantial interests Of the dis
trict are back of the work in that tun-
mel there has been a corresponding
livening up in mining stock and opera
tions. Not for months have so many
transfers of stock been made, and leas-
ing is added to the camps production.
Nor is Cripple Creek the only Colo
| rado district that is experiencing the
beneficent effects of public confidence.
The silver-leadzinc regions suffered
from low metal prices. but they did not
fall into the error they made fifteen
years ago, when metal prices were
even more thoroughly demoralized than
they have been recently. Then the
mines kept right on producing. draw
ing on their ore reserves and feeding
the nav of the smelter interests. This
force up metal prices, without sacri-
ficing any of their ore.
One of the safest ways to judge Col
orado's independence and prosperity
is to note the hard lines into which the
smelter trust has been forced. The
falling off in business in the past few
months mas reduced the monopoly's re-
serves nearly one-half, and this has
made smelter stock anything but a IA
vorite in the stock exchange opera
tions. The trust has not been able to
fatten on the indiscretions of any Of
Colorado's districts, and none of those
camps has lost an ounce of ore-by
reason of their conservatism.
In the San Juan the tide of prosper
ity has not abated, and Montezuma has
fought its way into the interest and
attention of the investing public. Clear
Creek, Gilpin and Boulder counties
have had their full quota of support.
and eastern and foreign capital has
been rather prodigal in it's attention to
the Centennial state. All of the other
districts are enjoying prosperity and
when lead, silver and zinc again some
up in price there will be hum of ac-
tivity that will be better than all the
ordinary booms in the business

His Preference.

The famous coup d'etat by which
Napoleon III. gained control OF France
is vividly described in the Memoirs
of Monsieur Claude" published by
Houghton, Mifilin & Co. Among the
many anecdotes of the eventful even.
ing of December 1, 1851, NJ. Claude
gives the following: Comte De Nor.

drama about to be performed, was
at the Opera Comique in order to
allay suspicious. A lady said to him:

thing about it," he replied; but If
there is any sweeping to be done l

Gilpin observer., 1908-02-06

known as sweeping the girls" If
girl is not kissed by an admirer be-
fore nine o'clock on st. Valentines
morning she is said to be dusty" Ac-
cordingly all the young men Of the
neighborhood on learning that some
young woman has remained unkissed
past the fatal hour make an attack
on her house with brooms, and after
sweeping her thoroughly, each of her
callers kisses her.
The French province of Lorraine has
custom somewhat similar, which is
called beating the ladies'" 1t dates
back to the sixteenth century. On
St. Valentines morning every mar
riageable daughter is expected to arise
at daybreak and bake a heart-shaped
cake for the first young man who may
come for it. If she should oversleep,
however, and her lover should call to
find her all unmindful of him and the
occasion which brought him to her
door then his rivals are privileged to
punish her in the following fashion:
Armed with wisps of hay they may in
wade her room and, compelling her to
pecially ungentle thrashing.
In the county Of Norfolk, England.
there still survives a custom which
recalls the times when ST. Valentines
day was observed throughout Great
Britain and the continent by the pre-
sentation of substantial gifts. In this
way not only lovers remembered their
mistresses, but parents their children,
husbands their wives, and in the mer-
ry days of Charles II. husbands gave
presents to other mems wives.
Among the young women Of Devon
shire the belief still fingers that they
are able to learn who their future hus-
bands will be if they go through a
certain peculiar formula shortly after
the midnight that ushers in st. Valen-
tines day. Each maiden should go
alone to the porch of the village
church and there wait until 1890 a. m.
Then as the bell strikes the half hour
she should return home scattering
hempseed in her path and repeating:
'Hempseed I sow. hempseed I NOV.
He that will my true love be.
Come rake this hempseed after me-"
And If she is going to be married
in the next year she will indeed see
her lover behind her clad in wind
ing sheet and raking up the hempseed.
In many parts of Germany the chill
dren find st. Valentines day special
occasion to obtain charity from young
women, who cannot refuse them with
out being threatened with the fate OF
becoming old maids. In certain viii
lagos of Saxony little boys and girls
go from house to house singing a song
which has been translated as follows
into English rhyme:
God bless the baker.
II you'll be the giver.
I'll be the taker."
