The finding of a box of old Eng

the history OF the Pixies Peak re-

at the foot of a pine tree in the
rear of their home a few days
ago the children of Thomas Lock

English coins bearing dates from
1853 to 1870.
Learning Of the find, pioneers re-
called stories Of the bands of hos
tile Indians which In the early days
made frequent raids on the settlers
and ~prospectors. The story is told
of a band of English prospectors who
tarried in the Pixies Peak region for
several days on their overland trip
to Leadville, and were attacked by a
band of Indians, the latter carry.

Two daring b~urglaries occurred,
Thursday evening, early, in the bus
mess section of the city when the

were entered. In the first only IL
cents was procured from the cash
drawer, but in the latter place 7
nickel-plated revolvers were stolen
valued at $50.
That the robbery occurred early
in the evening and by either boys
or a small man, is conceded. Tom

 lights warned the callers to retreat.
 Not a serious way to start the New
 Year, No. but friendly one that left
 hostesses and callers with glow of human
 friendlness to last warmth for many a
 day. And if seriousness were lacking, the
 same decade that enjoyed New Years call
 ing found itself also at one with the GUS
 tom of watch-night service For, in "our
 town,' as in yours, mayhap, 1t was the
 thing to spend the closing hours of the old
 year in the quiet seriousness of prayer and
 sacred song. Children had their share in
 this. for fathers and mothers had not in that simpler time learned to fear the giving of definite religious instruction to their sons and daughters It was clear and plain that child must be trained in the way he should go, and watch night part of that train ing.
 And, indeed no youngster ever tried to beg off. There was first of all the joy of doing the unusual and the fun of sitting up past his bedtime. So you hied yourself to the nursery couch or the sitting-room lounge, after a hot supper an old-fashoned winter supper of saul sage and fried potatoes scalloped oysters and mullins, and took long, long nap At half-past ten, father walked you, tucked you into cap and overcoat, and the family party started out under the cold stars, snow crunch ing under foot, to the nearby church.
 Not very long ago the writer came across an old chromo of the sort that looks, ip a dim and favorable light, like a fairly de- cent oil painting. In It's day 1t had doubtless been the chief ornament of a well-furnished, comfortable parlor Now 1t cluttered the win dow of secondhand shop, dingy and out of sorts with fate. But even in the unfattering light of dusty show window, 1t had certain charm for the one who found 1t. It was the picture of watch-night service such as she had once known so we'll Bright moonlight flooded the scene bringing out In sharpened detail the snowladen boughs of dropping elms and the Gothic spire of a small stone church. From stained-g glass windows and opened door came streaming the warm glow of shaded gas Jets From village streets f1ocked men and women and children, stopping to say word of greeting as they passed into the vegtibule. The spell of the picture took her, with the speed of the magic carpet or of the seven-leagued boots, back to the New Years eyes of her girl hood.
 So she had walked with father and mother and a sleepy small brother. Just so the trees had looked in the frosty moonlight And just as warm and softly glowing had been the stone church, through whose open doors came the resonant strains of the great organ. She remembered with aching yividness the faces

In the course of the afternoon the in- defatigable had seen all their friends, had sampled the choicest types of Christmas bak- ing, had toasted again and again the New Year In punch of varying strength and pungency, substituted coffee in homes where temperance principles were popular. They had said pret- ty things to popular danes in the stimulating atmosphere of holly and green wreaths, and had matched wits with fascinating damsels in the dangerous vicinity of mistletoe that still boasted some berries. It was all very gay, very informal, and very honey. At no other time or on other occasion did the holiday hilarity reach so high pitch.
 I'd like to do it all over again" is the tes- timony of one stately lady whose home twenty years ago was the scene of yearly New Years receptions. No other social function on my calendar was such fun for the guests and so little trouble for the hostess. The decorating had been done week before, and few fresh flowers were all that were needed.

 Her Mothers Economy
Rv CLARA INEZ DEACON

Eunice always dreaded the coming of spring because there was always the distressing thought that just when all the living world was putting on It's bravest and best she must go tofth as usual wearing that olo black leg horn hat.
 Eunice's mother mad bought the nat which was the best Of its kind to De had because it was always her rule to get the best or go without. In vain Eunice begged for cheaper things ana the privilege of having them changed occasionally.
 Mrs. Lys was English and obdurate' As she had been dressed she dressed her own daughter. The leghorn hat had been turned and twisted ana coaxed into some semblance to pre- vailing modes until Eunice was ashamed to take it to Miss Adams who was too conscientious to spoil it and thus make necessary the buy ing of new head-gear.
 This season the styles were varied duu beWiIuGI4ASIy DCauIIluA' 'e' after day Eunice fingered before the enticing plate glass windows of Miss Adams millinery parlors whence long ago the black leghorn had come to admire and yearn and choose with that sickening sense of futility which hurts to the very soul. She knew ex- &ctly the kind of hat she wanted-f white horsehair with froth of will TOW plume about the crown. Miss Adams had just such a hat and 1t was marked $20 Eunice had not seen the price, but Edith Benns had. In fact, Edith had tried on the wonderful hat.
 And, oh, it's the swellest thing, really, Eunice!" Edith said. And looked-well, of course, it's out of the question for me. My mother can't afford $20 hats, but your mother can. You ought to have it since you want it so badly And anyway it's time you had a new hat. You must be deathly sick of that old leghorn."
 "I am," admitted Eunce, faintly, swallowing at sob.
 Well" said Edith conclusiyely "ali can say is, if you don't have one you

 Eunice knew that. Her throat ached so miserably that she could not an- swer.
 "1 saw him with Belle White yes terday, Edith went on with the frank cruelty of youth and personal mex perience. She was dressed to kill everything new. You know that big black hat we both liked so much one of the first Miss Adams showed? |? Well, she had on that hat And. she looked stunning"
 Still Eunice did not answer. She went home helplessly unhappy to find her mother sitting in the cheerful company of an overflowing work basket.
 I'm making over the sleeves of your shirtwaists, dear" she said. I've found that by using smaller pattern I can cut out all the worn places. The waists will wear for a good while vet And l find," went on Mrs. Lys bright ly, as If she were imparting the most pleasing information, that can turn your plaid skirt. It isn't faded a par ticle on the under side. That comes of buying the best material. Always remember that, dear. The plaid skirt will do very nicely to wear with your shirtwaists all summer"
 Eunice's lips quivered. Ward would never look at her again. Men thought so much Of girls being well dressed.
 q suppose" she said, making des- perately one last appeal, that if I am to wear that old skirt and all those old waists, l can have new hat to go with them, can't I, mother?"
