MAY TAKE A HAND.

S. B. Stewart. brother of our citi.
zen, W. A. Stewart, left this morning
for California, on his way to his home
at Portland, Ore. The brothers have
spent the past three weeks together
w. A meeting his brother in Denver,
the rest of the time being put in in
Durango and vicinity. Mr.. Stewart
visited the Idaho, and was much in
terested in what he saw of mining In
the La Piatas. He expects to return
next summer and look over the ground
more carefully.
Mr. Stewart is a millionaire lum-
herman, owning enormous tracts of
timber lands in Oregon and Wash
ington, and operating on large scale.
1t is said that his large fortune was
accumulated in the northwest. He
knows little of mining, but seems will
ing TO make a venture. May the plans
materialize. Development is what we

MANCOS VS.. DURANGO.

The basketball game between Man.
cos and Durango took place at the high
school gym here, last Saturday night.
Promptly at 9:15 p. m. Referee Bur
dick blew the whistle and both teams
went into the harness.
The game was the best of the sea
son and owing to the excellent judg.
ment Of Mr.. Geo. W. Moody, who was
acting as umpire, 1t was void of rough
ness.
The Durango team showed their su.
periority over the visiting team from
the very beginning OF the game.
Mancos made the first goal which
seemed to serve as an incentive to
the Durango team because they soon
started making baskets and carried
the score right away from Mancos.
At the end of the first half the score
was 16 to 8 in favor of Durango.
In the last half Mancos played extra
hard in an endeavor to hang up her
score and take away the honors, but
they were unable to do much owing to
the excellent team work of the Du.
range boys. The last half ended with
the score II to IL in favor of Du-
range.

The cause of death was pneumonia
Beginning with a severe attack about
a month ago. the disease ragged for
about a couple of weeks when the pa.
tient seemed to improve, and there
was every reason to hope for her
recovery. A week ago she had re-
lapse, and on account Of her advanced
age the combination OF ailments prov
ed too much. and the past two or
three days 1t was merely question
of waiting for the end. Death came
peacefully. life flickering out gently
as a dying candle flame.
Mrs. Becker was a native Of Ger.
many. being born there almost n
years ago on May Is, 1884. When still
very young her parents moved to this
country, and she was educated in the
common schools. She was resident
of Colorado for the past forty years
thirty of these being spent in Durango
While domestic In her tastes and OF
the kind usually known as home
woman" which the Bible refers to as
keepers at home," through her long
residence In the San Juan. Mrs. Beck
er was widely known and had large
circle OF friends In Durango and the
surrounding country. Two daughters
and one son. all living in Durango, and
another daughter In Grand Junction
survive her.
Funeral arrangements will be made
as soon as word Is received from the
daughter living in Grand Junction.
The night Is long that never finds
the day. and the decay OF winter. old
age. and the change called death. give
hope OF spring to be new born. and
the resurrection to fairer life beyond
the tomb where there Is no age tc
wither, or years to decay.

WHAT COLOR ARE your

What is the color OF your thoughts
or disposition or temperament? For
of course your temperament has a
color the same as does the house in
which you live or do the clothes YOU
wear, only the color OF your thoughts
is not SO obvious to those who are not
so well acquainted with you. Those
with whom you have wintered and
summered know the color of your TEN.
permanent as well as they do the shade
OF your eyes or hair. Think 1t over
for a minute and then decide whether
your color is violet, indigo, blue, green.
yellow, orange or red. Or 1t is n com.
bination of two or more of these col.
ors, producing some one of the scores
of still other definitely named shades ?
At first thought you may not be
quite able to realize that your tenn.
permanent Is reducible or translatable
into color, upon giving careful study
to the subject you will be able to see,
no doubt, that II your volume OF
thought, your temper and tempera.
ment, your manners, your mental at
titudes, your ethics, your address. your
opinions and your way OF looking at
things were all to be boiled down.
distilled and transmitted into some col.
orful expression. the product would un
mistakably resemble your intellectual
temperamental self 1t would look like
You; and would set you forth In the
color you are now, only the many
shades that now go to make up your
composite color would then be more
closely and smoothly blended.
If we will look about us and make
study of those with whom we come
into the closer relationships. we shall
find that it is not difficult to determine
In most instances, whether they are
of a gay or a somber color. With
closer observation, we shall be able
to classify them still more narrowly
and decide whether man Is baby
blue, light blue. blue, navy blue or
dark blue; whether he is green, gray,
gold, red or yellow; or whether he
has no definite and distinct color, but
is striped or spotted or changeable
in color like some silks. Who cannot
recall with pleasure having met some
where back yonder the pink or mauve
or fawn or old rose or lavender lady?
Not the one whose outward dress was
dominated by any one of these shades
OF color, but the one whose mental
habit. whose thought and temperament
were all an harmonious symphony of
some one color.
And there is harmony or the lack
OF it in these thought colors the same
as there Is in the colors of more ma
terial things. AS there are some
shades OF complexion that go well"
with anything" so there are some
thought colors that harmonic with all
other temperamental shades. Are you
fortunate as to possess such one?
IL you are. be thankful: II you havn't

them is so greatly appreciated by To-

which ragged Monday night did not
have deterrent effect upon the size of
the audience.
The stage decorations were novel
and especially artistic. The orchestra
from the sale of tickets have not been
given out but after all expenses have
been met there will doubtless be sew

do it for Durango" seems to be
the slogan of the Civic club ladies
and no effort to accomplish anything

too great for them to put forth. Since
this band of ladies organized last
spring civic pride seems to have
rolled up its municipal sleeves and
started in to demonstrate that We
can have a beautiful city. Now that
we have started in the right drec-

seems little danger of back sliding.
