by heroic deeds OF self-denial or phil
anthrophy, there the mind will de-
light to linger, then we are filed with
pleasure at the retrospect.
Let us, then, begin the new year
with determination to do right; with
charity for the frailities of humanity
and love for all. How much Of hu
man misery would be assuaged, how
much happiness would be diffused.
how much nearer Heaven Earth would
be brought, if everybody would make
the Golden Rule the guide-if each
would love his neighbor as himself!
The suggestion may sound somewhat
chimerical. 1t may be affirmed that
at the present stage of the worlds ad-
vancement, it is asking too much that
man should all at once forget self and
be filled with the milk of human
kindness" Here the common mis-
take is made of abstaining from effort
because Perfection cannot be attained.
Each may do something. and success,
even in a moderate degree, is worthy
of great effort. Danish, then all ran

With the bright prospect before US
as community, with the dawn OF
prosperity just beaming on our beloved
State. we but need to exercise the
common impulse of humanity to make
this indeed HAPPY New YEAR.

And tenderly scatter the tear-drops

And when our last year shall draw to q

Most Successful Midwinter Exposition
Nears the End.

A crowd which is expected to be a rec
ord breaker is anticipated by the man
agement of the Midwinter exposition at
the Auditorium this evening. There has
been a notable increase in the attendance
every day this week. The vaudeville acts
are good, an it is a fact that many peo-
pie have been so much pleased with the
entertainment that they returned more
than once to see it repeated.
The grown ups as well as the children
have taken keen pleasure in going about
among the booths with big breakfast food
boxes in hand, picking up samples and
trinkets of various description. In fact
those samples have been the source Of
keen pleasure to many persons who were
not able to attend the show.
The small son of newspaper man who
had for weeks looked forward in antici-
patton of taking in the Midwinter was
sadly disappointed when illness made 1t
necessary for mis- father to say mo
philosophical manner and said he would
be quite contented ie only some one would
get him some of the samples he had
heard so much about. A reporter made
the rounds of the booths and gathered to-
gethe~ a Thousand and one' articles
which included games puzzles, and good
things to eat. The small boy was in his
element today. He set up a store of his
own, and for hours sold goods to
imaginary customers

have added to their act some features
that amuse. The clever boy tumbler who

tremity of Angelo Fassio, manager of the
troupe, eats corn flakes in this bottom

style. Some the people here have
been asking me what I eat" said he 70
reporter. "I just tell Them he con-
tinued with smile, that I eat meat and
fish, and drink everything but soft
drinks"
Friday afternoon 100 boys from the
state industrial school attended the Mid
winter. They were treated to hot rolls
and small packages of candies at the
booth of the Davis Merchantile company,
and apparently enjoyed the entertain
ment immensely.
This is children's day again at the show
and this afternoon the big hall is fairly
packed with q noisy crowd of gleeful
youngsters. The grab for the tennis balls
and baseba1ls given away by n. B. How
ard was the cause of much excitement on
the part of the members of the younger
generation.
The total attendance at the exposition
has been large, but no figures will be
given out until the show closes.

Hurry Down Stairs, Putting on
Raiment in Lobby.
FIRE SOON PUT OUT.
Damage Amounts to $4,000
Mostly From Water.
Blaze in Kitchen on Seventeenth
Floor Of Majestic.

Chicago. Jan. 2S.-Fire drove hum
dreds of guests from their rooms in
the Majestic and Great Northern
hotels, which adjoin at Dearborn and
Quincy streets, early this morning.
The fire, which started in the kitch-
en- of the grill room on the seventeenth
floor Of the Majestic, was extinguished
with loss of about $4,000. mostly
from water.
Both hotels are seventeen stories
high and it was feared that fremen
would have difficulty in reaching the
f1re but the water pressure proved
adequate and the flames were soon put
out.
The lobby of the Majestic became
congested with guests who had been
awakened and fed from their rooms.
With their arms full of clothing, they
hurried down the stairways and
dressed in the crowded room. In the
upper stories people crowded about the
elevators, pleading to be taken down.
Elevator men and firemen tried to
allay their fears by telling them that
the fire had been extinguished and a
number went back to their rooms.
One man occupying a room directly
beneath the grill, refused to leave his
room when awakened by hotel at
taches. He threatened any one dis
turbing him further and was finally
allowed to remain unmo1ested.

MRS. SCHENK ON BAIL
She Is Served With Papers in Hus-
bands Divorce Suit.

Wheeling, Jan. 28.-Mrs Laura
Farnsworth Schenk. wife of John O.
Schenk, whom she was charged with
attempting to poison, was released on
her own recognizance by Judge Jor-
dan in the criminal court today, the
bail being left at $4,000. A few min
utes before she had been served with
papers in divorce case filed by her
husband, in which it was stated that
application would be made February
4 for an injunction to restrain her
from communicating with or harass-
ing her husband or from interfering in
any way with her children, Virginia
and Robert Schenk, or from entering e
their house on the island. The
amount of alimony will also be argued
at that time.
A counter suit for divorce is being
prepared by Mrs. Schenk's counsel.
Since John o. Schenk neglected to
announce that he would not be re-
sponsible for debts contracted by his
wife, it is held that he will be called
on to pay the costs of the late trial,
about 100000 Immediately after the
announcement that she was at liberty,
Mrs. Schenk, accompanied by her
counsel, went to her tower room in
the Jail. Soon afterward she entered
the automobile of Attorney J. J. P.
O'Brien and was driven to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Lasch, her island neigh
bor who had testified for her during
her trial. It is stated that she VIII
make her home there for the present.

JUDKINS BACKS DOWN.
After Declaring He Had Been Ap-
preached in Interest of Speer.

Denver, Jan. 2S.-Representative
uproar in the house this morning by
declaring that he had been approach
ed by Speer men and told that unless
he voted for Mayor Speer of Denver,
for United States senator he need not
hope to get any bills through the
house
Mr.. Judkins' charge was made prior
to today's ballot, the Aspen represen-
tative rising to a question of personal
privilege.
Representative Potts of Leadville,
asked him to state who made the
threat, but Mr.. Judkins declined.
Speaker McLachlan of Denver, a
Speer Democrat, then took part.
1.-The chair wishes to state,'' said
Mr.. McLachlan, "that he is a support
er of Mr.. Speer, and a statement Of
this kind is a charge against every
Speer man, unless the gentleman from
Aspen will state who approached him
in this manner.
Mr.. Judkins, however, sat silent and
refused to divulge the name of the
man who he declared had threatened
him with death of his bills unless he
voted for Speer. Later Mr.. Judkins,
under a fire of questions from other
mem bers, qualified his statement. He
said he did not mean to say that he
had been told if he did not vote for
Speer his bills would not pass, but
was told that if he did not support
certain measures and vote for a GER
tain man his legislation would suf-
fer. The house took no action at the
