BY T. ELLIS.

Modern teachers are equipped with
a multitude Of books. and they send
their students to the libraries. But the
Great Teacher. who has stimulated
more thought and study than any
other, was content to find most OF his
lessons in the everyday life about nm.
He bound UP things with
profound spiritual messages. The bros
of the air and the grass of the field
were his interpreters Of a profound
philosophy Of life. With this exam
pie. we may not deSplSe as puerlle ana
shallow the nature study IN which 50
much delight and instruction is to be
found.
Wondrous truths, n manifold as
wOndrouS,

above;
Runs the record of His love.

God gave man this world to enjoy.
He means to share his own pleasure in
it exhaustless in its beauty and yari-
ETY. and interest. Whoever does not
find delight in the fields and flowers
and birds n skies has missed n
Of the first and best delights of eX-
lstence. That is as inverted and I'M
natural mode Of life which seeks rec
reation in pictures and books and
parlor games and public entertain
ments, and ignores the simple joys
which God has provided in his great
out Of doors. There are persons who
will spend five dollars. and stay up
half the night, III order to lear an
opera who Will not set up an hour or
two earlier in the morning. or spend
ten cents carfare,, in order to hear
the carolling of natures ~feathered
chorus amid the glorious scenery of
an awakening day. uch persons,
though, would not be voted wise by
any jury. Our times are stressing the
beauty and happiness of life out of
doors, where God seems lear and
more beautiful than anywhere else.
Dear Lord. since thou didst make the
earth,
Thou mad'st it not for grief, but
mirth,
Therefore / will be glad.
And let who Will be sad.
For if l lead my life with care.
What profit me the buNom air,
And what the sweet birds choir
Or heavens azure fire?
Lord, as It's thine eternal state
With JOY undimned TO contemplate
The world that thou hast wrought
AS mirror for thy thought,
So every morning l would rise,
And offer thee for sacrifice
A spirit bright and clear
AS the wide atmosphere.
For, Lord, since all is we'll with thee,

FASHIONABLE BOARDING HOUSES
ON CAPITOL HILL IN DENVER
ARE OFFENDERS.
MINERS ALSO LOSE PAY
LABOR COMMISSIONER BRAKE
MAY DECIDE TO TEST ANTI
BOYCOTT LAW.

Denver.-The fact that great
many of the boarding house keepers
on Capitol Hill do not pay their serv-
ants, according to Labor Commission
er Brake, may lead to a test of the
anti-boycott law in the state Supreme
Court.
Commissioner Brake says that COM
plants are constantly made to him
by servant girls who cannot get paid
for their services in fashionable board
ing houses on the Hill, and he is plan
ming to send out lists OF the names of
those who do not pay help to all the
free and private employment agencies
in the state.
Commissioner Brake says that he
has consulted an attorney upon the
matter and the latter does not think
that it will be an infringement of the
anti-boycott law, but even if he is
charged with violating it he will take
the law into the Supreme Court and
have it tested.
Every effort has been made to force
these boarding house keepers to pay
their help, he says, but it has proved
unavailing. He even advised those
who had lost their wages to go and
sit on the steps of their employers
house, and every time anyone rang
the bell, to demand their wages in
loud tone. In some cases this worked
well, but no one would have the SER
wants arrested, as he wished. When
the girls or men employed could get
no money they are either allowed to
quit or are discharged if they com
plain, and the boarding house keepers
send for fresh help.
Since last April, according to Labor
Commissioner Brake, he has received
500 claims in his office of which the
majority are from Denver people. BY
preventing the boarding house keep
ers from getting further help from
the employment agencies, he hopes to
be able to force them to pay help.
In Silverton Commissioner Brake
says he also found that many persons
could not get paid. During the past
year he has had claims presented to
him by miners and others represent
ing 100000. Most of this amount was
lost by miners who went up into the
hills in the winter, saved their checks,
and found that the company had gone
broke when they returned to town in
the spring This has led many to
spend their money as fast as they re-
ceived it.

woman's Remarkable Walk.

Denver.-The Republican Thursday
morning says: Tired but happy in
her success, Arizona Owens of Sho-
shone, Wyo.. arrived in Denver last
night and completed a remarkable
walk of sixteen days length in which
she traversed 435 miles. Although
some of the severest weather that Col
orado and Wyoming have experienced
in years placed a bar to her fast pro-
gress, she completed her journey one
day ahead of time.
Upon wagers between Kansas City
and Denver men Miss Owens under
took the trip. She was given seven
teen days in which to make the dis
tance. During her unusual and diff
cult walk she was once lost for an en-
tire night She missed her path in
making a shortcut to Cheyenne. At
another time she was blown off
trestle, but was only slightly injured.
Yesterday she walked from Fort
Lupton to Denver-a distance of twer
ty-five miles. When she reached tEls
city about 1880 o'clock she immediate
ly took a car at Seventeenth and Law
renee and went to the home of friends.

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
tion proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.

New York, Feb. 6.-Leslie NJ. Shaw
former secretary Of the treasury de-
clared before the merchants con-
gress last night that Japan could place
two hundred thousand fighting men
in Hawaii within a month. He
pleaded for a merchant marine sub
sidized by the government, and said
the powers of the world laughed at
the spectacle Of sixteen battleships
starting around the world accompa-
MED and depending for fuel supplies
on 81 colliers, and supply vessels
floating the foreign flags, which
would desert the ships and leave them
helpless without coal at the first smell
Of hostile powder.
Speaking of powder he said that
it all the powder mills in the United
States would stop making sporting
and blasting powder and just turn out
battle powder, they would not make
in 80 days enough powder to last the
navy thirty days. At that rate he
said we could fight but two hours a

TI-STATESIENT
BILL Is KILLED

Salem, Feb. 6.-Buchanan's bill
calling for the repeal of the State
ment No. l provision OF the direct
primary law is dead. 1t died yester-
day morning without a struggle on
the part of its author, being indefi-
nitely postponed by the practically
unanimous vive voce vote of the
house, following an unfavorable re-
port by the judiciary committee of
the house.
This action of the house clears the
calender of any attempted legislation
hostile TO The primary law and the
right of the people to direct their Of
ficials in the discharge of their duties
to the peaple Of the state.
Evidently the opposition to State
ment No. l has given up hopes OF be.
ing able to damage the principle in
the house, for when the report came
in this morning no effort was made
to defeat 1t, no speeches were made,
nor encomnums uttered in defense of
the doomed measure. It simply died,
silently, quietly, unnotlced in the rush
OF the house business, and unnlourn-
ed unless perhaps by few disgrunt-
led ones. The principle of the direct
primary and Of Statement No. 1 stands
unshaken In the face of the assaults
that have been made upon 1t.

hair pulled out. had some of his
teeth knocked out. one of his fingers

which resulted seriously afterwards.

INDIAN RUNNER is
MARATHON CHAMPION

Madison Square Garden, New York,
Feb. 6.-Maintaining an even swing
ing stride that rarely varied through
out the race, Tom Longboat, the On
ondaga Indian from Canada, wrested
the laurels of an indoor marathon race
last night at Madison Square Garden
when victory seemed almost within
the grasp of the plucky Englishman,
Alfred Shrubb, who collapsed in the.
twenty-fifth mile, leaving the Indian
to finish the race of 26 miles and 3S5
yards alone.
Longboat's time for the race was 9
hours SO minutes 40 2-5 seconds,
which is nearly eight minutes behind
the record made by Dorando, the Ital-
ian in his race with Johnny Hayes,
the Olympian marathon winner last
fall. The Indian finished in fine fet-
tie and was in no wise distressed
