ON A PICNIC
From Fridays Daily.

F. B. wheelock. acting secretary OF
the local Y.M.C.A.. took about twen-
ty of the playground boys on a picnic
today to the top of Fremont Peak. The
party started about 500 o'clock this
morning taking their lunches and they
will spend the day climbing the peak.
The boys of this city are enthusi-
astic over the work of the playground
and many have shown their apprecia-
tion of the fact by their attendance at
the meetings. Although the girls have
been invited to the playground activ-
tiles nnne have accepted. Well direct
ed pla under a good supervisor is
good thing for the boys and girls and
mothers should appreciated this move
ment for their boys who have to be
employed at all times.

GLASS PLANT
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Steps are being taken to interest
capital in the large deposits of white
quartz near Canon City. which are
said to possess the finest qualities for
the manufacture of high-grade glass.
aand as a result large glass factory
may eventually be built near the beds.
Lewis P. Boyle, treasurer OF Canon
City, has written to the chamber OF
commerce calling attention to these
deposits and stating that recent ex-
animation has shown them to be
peculiarly adapted to the manufact-
ure of window glass, plate glass and
other high grades of clear glass The
chamber of commerce will work in
conjunction with the people OF Canon
City. in an effort to have the deposits
developed and a factory built at some
convenient point in the state for
handling the output-Rocky Noun

the matter will have to be done be-
fore the first of August as at that time
the board of trustees of the grand
lodge will begin its investigations of
the offers made by the various towns
of the state preliminary to making its
report to the grand lodge. which
meets at Cripple Creek on October
18th to determine the question of the
location. Among the places that have
already entered the list to secure the
home are Denver, Boulder. Delta,
Montrose, Pueblo, Golden, Fort Col
Inns and Canon City. The grand lodge
has something like 100000 in its
strong box available for investment
in the proposed home, the location of
which will largely be governed by the
climatic conditions. Colorado Springs
is not an aspirant for the home for
the reason that 1t is endeavoring to
secure the location there of the Ma
tional odd Fellows Home, which the
supreme lodge now has under con-
sideration.
The board of trustees is composed
of Adolph Donath OF Fort Collins; Jo-
seph hewitt Of Beuna Vista. J. N.

CANON CITY WILL
ENDEAVOR TO SECURE
ODD FELLOWS HOME

From Thursdays Daily.
The conference at the office OF h
8. Maddox yesterday afternoon be-
tween the Canon City Business Mems
association and a committee from the
Odd Fellows lodge for the purpose OF
formulating some sort of campaign
looking to the location here of the
proposed Odd Fellows Home, was an
enthusiastic one and will result in
Canon City's becoming an active COM
petitor for the contemplated institu-
ton. The members of the conference
were heartily in favor of doing every
thing to bring the home here and to
that end adopted a resolution instruc-
ting Mr.. Maddox to write to the sec
retaries of the chambers OF commerce
in towns in other states where such
homes existed and ascertain from
them what donations had been made
to secure their location. Such fnstf-
tutions as the one in contemplation
by the Odd Fellows grand lodge of
Colorado exist in ten or a dozen OF
the states of the Union and it Is be-
lieyed that valuable information may
be had by inquiring of the CONNER
cial bodies in the cities where they
are located in relation to the offers
made to Secure them.

:. American Home Life. ,,

An important article on The Crisis
in American Home Life. " by Professor
Simon N. Patten, of the chair of Po-
litical Economy in the University of
Pennsylvania, has appeared in The
independent" He says that we are
so used to pounding millionaries and
denouncing trusts that the underly-
ing fact of the lack of capital is over
looked. Families with incomes of
$1,000 year have set new standard
of liberality in expenditures. The
constant pressure to keep up appear
ances, along with decay of the moral
instructions emphasizing the benefits
of frugality and saving, has taken
from industry the people who former
ly we're the great source OF its capital.
Because the day laborer still saves we
assume that all classes above him are
likewise saving. The new standard of
living has cut down on the amount of
saving as it has likewise cut down on
the number of children per family.
Small families ands small. savings are
two effects of one cause, high stand
ard of living The family with no
children is also the family with no
saving"
Another cause which DIR. Patten
finds in the present crisis is in the new
status of women. Forty years ago a
man could live comfortably on 81 900
year. Under the magic of the wife's
hand this 81 900 became $1,000 or
$1,000. The wife created more value
by industry in the home than her hus-
band did out of it. In her hands
cloth became clothes, flour bread, and
fresh fruits the winter preserves. Now
all things are done outside. the home
and must be purchased with the 81, 900
income. The wife no longer contrib
utes to the family income by creating
value, and with the increased standard
of elaborate dressing, she is often its
chief burden.
There is nothing striking about
this, says Professor Patten, except
in the emphasis that is placed on the
need Of capital. When religious
scruples are no longer checks to ex-
travagance, and the Quaker, Puritan
| and Scotch-Irish have ceased to exist,
we shall realize, II we do not before,
that the essential conditions Of home
life cannot be neglected without bring

For winter feeding clover needs cut
ting and steaming. Fed with grain
it makes a good bulky food and helps
to keep the hogs in good growing con-
dition.
If the pigs show any signs Of being
''off feed" give whole or crushed oats
for day or two.
Many pigs suffer from the effects Of
worms in the intestines and stomach.
Feed might almost as well be
thrown away as given to wormy pig.
Turpentine is a good remedy for
worms and can be fed in sloppy feed
at the rate of a .teaspoonful to a fifty
pound pig. .
DO not feed the pigs for about TWEEN
ty-four hours and then give the dose
to few at a time or in small lots,
that none may get an overdose.
If the pigs do not thrive on good
care and generous feed, worms are
very often found to furnish the rea-

Carmichael or James farm, which the
Molristown Field Club now occupies.
The accumulated proofs (too extended
to be detailed here) make it necessary
for me to conclude that Cheever built
and lived in the house upon his land,
most commonly called the ''Conti-
mental Stores" which the Continental
Army occupied in 1880. OF course
this conclusion makes necessary the
Encouragement of the several conflict
ing legends which have passed current
for years concerning this building.
But this will in no wise destroy but
enchance their interest. That cele-
brated building occupied the ground
upon which now stand the Banking
House of the 1st National Bank aud

corner of the Bank is coincident ex-
actly with the North Corner of the
(" Continental Stores" at which point
would be a good place for memorial

The original building was destroyed

I can recall very distinctly the ap-
pearance of a curious little man named
Charles Freeman, very solemn when
sober. who about 1855 had an office
with John s. Hager, Esq, afterwards
O. S. Senator from California and
Aug. w. Bell, Esq, in the office ad-
joining my fathers home on Wash
ington street. He was clerk or scriv-
ener and Master in Chancery. He
much resembled the page in the pic
ture of Washington's first inaugural.
This old Office had been Judge Brakes
when he owned the property before
my father bought the house and Office
and lived there.

Charles Freeman was son of Benja-

land holder in Morristown. There
are many curious "reminiscences about
him. His father, Benjamin, Sr., was
large proprietor of land south west
of Morristown, much of which became

THE FELLOWS WHO DIDN'T WIN.

The struggle in the House Of Repre-
sentatives last week over the effort to
cripple the power Of the Speaker was
one OF the most remarkable in the his
tory of that body. Technically it was
won by the alliance which was behind
it, comprising the entire Democratic
contingent in the House and about
thirty Republicans who had personal
grievances against the Speaker. The
movement was concerted one, but the
Democrats who went into it evidently
failed to provide with sufficient care
for the distribution of the fruits OF
victory if this extraordinary compact
succeeded. They forgot to reckon
with their host" and when they had
furnished by far the greater number
of votes required to pull down MI.
Cannon, they found that nearly all OF
their insurgent allies fiinched at the
critical moment, and, though the lit
tie Republican end of the combination
got all it wanted, the big Democratic
end instead of gaining anything had
actually allowed itself to be used to
eliminate from further use perhaps
the most formidable political issue
that had been raised against the Re
publican party, to wit "Cannonism.
Inasmuch as the Democratic leaders
went into this alliance for the sole pur-
pose of fomenting discord among the
Republicans and of making capital
for the Democratic party, it was pref
ty tough for them to discover that
they had actually played into the
hands of their adversaries, and had
only succeeded in compacting the Re-
publicans in the House in an almost
solid line for support of the pending
administration program. The situa-
tion recalls General Grants famous

ic party has chance of winning it
