The Beast And The Jungle.


Judge Lindsey is known 10 the

Juvenile Court OF Denver: and. TO
his little court room there. come
ChIldren's Society agents from ali
parts OF the states. visitors from Eng.
land. officers from Germany. Austria.
France and Japan to study his Laws
and learn his methods.
But to himself. to Denver. to his
friends. and-most of ALTO his en-.
emies, his famous Juvenile Court is
only an incident, a side issue. a
small detail in the mans amazing
career. For years he has been en-
gagged in a fight of which the found.
ing Of his Juvenile Court was only
the merest skilmish.
II is a fight that has carried him
into politics to find both political
parties against him. 1t has been car
ried on without the consistent sup
port of any newspaper, and with now
one, now the other. and at times all

ing and attacking him. The thieves
the gamblers. the saloon-keepers and
the prostitutes have been cheered on
against him. There have been times
when even the churches have been
afraid to aid him. Men of wealth
the heads of street railway, the tel
ephone company, the gas and cleo
trio company, the water company and
and most of the other Denver eorpor-
ations and combinations of finance
have made it their particular ambi-
ton and personal aim to beat him
down and crush him out of public
life. He has fought alone. And he is
still fightingl
He has been offered brides that
might buy a millionair. He has been
promised a rec in politics, a fort
une in law. He has been given the
hope of worldly preferments that
might seduce the highest ambition.
When these have failed to win
him, he has been threatened with
all the punishments that the unscru-
pulous power and bitterest hate could
conceive. To destroy his reputation,
false affidavits have been sworn out
by fallen ONE accusing him of the
lowest forms of vice. Attempts have
been made to lure him to houses of
ill-repute where men were lying in
wait to expose him. The vilest sto-
ries about him have been circulated
in yenomous whispers from man to
man and woman to woman. Friends
have been frightened or bought or
driven from him. His life has been
threatened. Special laws have been
introduced at the State Capitol

Commerce has publicly branded him
an enemy of the state. AT times the

why England has No Flies.

why England haS NO Flles'
"The fly can be put down" says
E. T. Brewster, writing of the great
menace from the house-fly in Sep
TENDER McClure's.
The proof is that it has been done.
Speaking rashley, there are no flies
in England; at least, there are so
few that the inhabitants do not think
it worth while to screen their dwell
ings. The reason is the simplest
the tight little island is kept clean.
Fifty years ago flies were a nuisance
in England: though not the plague
they are here, for no other really
civilized country was ever quite so
dirty as the United States of Amer
lea. This nuisance is pretty COM
pletely abated. In fifty years Eng
land has swept and garnished, and
the flies have starved"

MISS RED ROOSTER FEATHER.

When Stanton received the APP
pointment to assume charge of the
Mik-nee-ho Indian agency at Thun-
der Hill, he Immediately set about
the task of westernizing himself.
He purchased a set of wild west
books, sombrero, three grim re-
volvers and pair of khaki leggins.
When he arrived at the little,
isolated agency, however, the feel
ing of exalted heroism gave way
to one of depressing loneliness.
There were but two buildings
within sight of the agency. One of
these was the crazy abode of Pete
Shovelfoot; the other a big, white
house nesting in the Thunder
Hills half a mile away. The saw
age red men Stanton had almost
dreaded, shaded from a dingy cop
permitting to an equally dingy
white, and they were far too tired
to be savage. So that the second
night in his new work Stanton lost
interest in "Three-fingered Steve"
and read 'Lalla Rookh" for COM
pany's sake.
A week after his arrival Pete
Shovelfoot waddled by on his way

Red Rooster Feather on the rolls
of the Mik-nee-ho people.
Before he could get the cumber-
some books down, light step
sounded behind him. He turned
quickly and faced a young woman.
She wore hat as big as anything
on Broadway and her gray suit was
the acme of tailoring. Her eyes
were big, dark and slumberous, as
Cleopatra's might have been

loads of wavy black hair under the
big, cherry-trimmed hat.

NEW STYLES OF DRESSING HAIR

In the heart of every woman
there is secret desire to be good
to look upon. Does 1t ever occur
to her, wonder, that the way she
arranges her hair about her face
has lot to do with her good looks ?
Never was there time when ma.
tron and maid could be so individ-
ual or indulge her fancy so much

can right now.

EAKIN ON CIVIC PURITY.

Editor The Press: The. subject
of the social evil has been much in
the limelight of late and gives
much perplexity to many. How
ever, the true solution will be
found after the cause is discov-
cred. Now, we risk our reputation
by openly declaring that the traffic
in. girls is result of the traffic in
stSSng drink; and that the traffic
in; drink and the traffic in girls is
the cause of so many fallen men.
We declare that both fallen men
and fallen girls fall through the
open saloon; and that neither
would flourish without that name
less criminal and enemy of man.
kind. The saloon is the mother of
present day harlotry and sells her
own offspring for dollars that are
polluted with the very stain of the
nations blood
How are girls made harlots? We
answer, by the bottle. How are
they held to life of shame? Again
we answer, by the bottle. Where
are the brothels always found?
Hard by the saloon; under them,
over them, back of them or side of
them. Who profits by the social
evil? Certain landlords and the
keepers of such places and, more
than either or both, the saloonist.
And we declare that the owner
renting his property for such pur
poses is no better than the saloon
keeper, the brothel keeper, the har-
lots and fallen men who visit them.
The landlord and house mistress
and saloonkeeper, in such case,
are all living off of the earnings of
fallen women and ought to be sent
to the penitentiary by any self re-
specting community. We conf
IDENTIFY assert that there is only one
way to effectively prevent the
social evil and that is by throttling
the liquor traffic, the mother of
har+etry, in. a death grip.
But as he have watched the drift
of discussion we notice that less is
said about preventing this evil
than is said about controlling 1t.
What shall we do with these
women is the all absorbing ques-
ton before the city government.
AS we have listened to the discus
sion everything has hung upon the
question, Shall we have re-
stritted district? Now, we submit
that question rests back upon the
assumption that we must house
and provide for this pestilence in
our midst. Such a view we abhor,
abominate and emphatically repud-
late. When the officials round up

cOunterfeiters or human vultures
that prey upon the virtues of
young girls, they do not talk about

indeed! There is just one place
for them, and that Is the peniten-
tiary district.

Can you not look back to child

mother would "chum" with you
and tell you willingly the. things
you wanted to know? But you felt
a little in awe of mother, and the

about it some day. You are too

when the girl had gone to the one
who should be her best friend, her
mother, to ask her about the secret

Why not tell her? Is there any
thing sweeter in life than mother
hood? And Is there anything more
revolving than the ideas some chill

be sacred? These children are to
be found in all walks in life, and
you remember from your own child

to impart their vulgar thoughts to
others.

there any choice? Wouldn't you
