HE WAS WILLING.

There was a general hubbub at the
Savoy hotel this morning, just before
8 o'clock Some of the members of
the bridal party were searching for
the brides suit case in order to label
1t appropriately in order that it might
not be lost. They were much distress
ed for fear it had gotten away already,
and were gathering their parapher.
MALTA together for the further scene
of their operations at the depot when
10. C. Boyle threw a crumb of com
fort their way.
Said he, "If it's any satisfaction to
you to indulge your artistic aspira-
tions and express your creative fac
ulty by decorating suitcases, I'm will
ing. There's that old red grip of mine.
Just consider that you are entirely
welcome to decorate that all you
please. l don't mind, and the grip
won't raise any objections-not so that
you would notice them, anyway"
Did they accept his offer? Well,
not SO that you would notice It.!

BELIEVE IN EDUCATION,

George Sponsel came in from
Thompson's park last night and Is a
guest Of the Savoy today, on a brief
business trip. The thrifty farmers in
the Dix basin are all busy now doing
up their winters work, fixing fences
and repairing and cleaning tools and
machinery ready for the spring sea
son. School, under the able direction
of Mr.. Henry Cordes. is progressing
smoothly. The term will probably
last through February, and then close
for month, before re-opening about
April list. Like most parents of Ger
man extraction, the citizens of the
park believe in education, and usually
have ten or eleven months school
Most of the time also the studies
are taught in two languages, German
and English. This makes the schoo
hours rather long, and makes more
expense, but what of that? The chill

BEFORE DIRECTORIES WERE PUB

In the early ages of civilization be

was the custom of men seeking infor
nation to sit In conspicuous places
along the public highways and inquire
Of every person who passed or who
came within hearing; II the informa
ton sought were the address of pre-
historic Roosevelt it would not take
long to get the necessary data but
this process of acquiring knowledge
proved a slow task. and developed a
system of town criers who both asked
and answered questions and after
wards made business of making all
public announcements, loudly crying
through all public thoroughfares, ex
citing the populace to joy or sorrow
This was found to be slow, expensive
and inefficient and demand for a
better, quicker and surer method ul

charms, Is conducive of vice is to con-
tend that the people of the community
are of the hcentious and evil minded
class and this Is not true of the peo
pie Of any of the states in this ma
ton.
1t Is true that some married men,
and also some OF the theatrical pro
fession, are unworthy OF the respect
of decent minded people but instead
OF introducing bills calculated to re-
strain this small class the builder of
freak legislation overreaches and leg
islates against the whole class and
the proposed legislation. instead of be.
ing considered seriously. is killed by
the ridicule heaped upon 1t.
The question of equal suffrage Is
another matter in point, the friends of
the measure are doing more to de-
stroy its chances than are the open
and avowed enemies of the reform.
When suffragettes lose their womanly
modesty and congregate in the city
streets to indulge in riotous conduct
they turn public sentiment away from
instead of to them and the bill, intro.
duced in one of the New England
states, few years ago, which not only
gave women the right to vote but
also conferred upon them the right
to wear mems clothing, was defeated
by friendly house because of the
ridicule heaped upon 1t on account OF
the later provision in the bill.
1t is a matter of history that scarce
ly a measure OF great importance has
ever come up before the people of the
country but some fool friend of the
measure has blocked the progress OF
the reform by alladvised and freakish
action and it is clearly true that the
man who prayed the good Lord to de-
vote all his time to protecting him
from the actions of his fool friends,
leaving the guarding against the at
thcks of enemies entirely to the sup
plicant, was man who knew whereof
he spake and of the source of his most
serious danger
Legislation should be serious bust

THE SAN JUAN INTERESTS.

The big meetings which are now be-
ing held at various parts of the state
are of great Importance to the San
Juan country. The Good Roads Con
vention Is in session and matters OF
vital Importance to the building OF
the great state highway through this
part OF the state are being considered.
II a fine highway, suitable for the
use OF motor vehicles. Is constructed
through the San Juan territory a new
region will be opened up for tourists
and summer visitors and thousands
who know know only by reputation OF
the wonders of this part OF the state
will come and see and. having seen,
will go back to the outer world to her
aid abroad the stories Of our natural
wealth and capital will be interested
and invested here. This movement
is second only to the matter OF In
creased railroad facilities in import
ance TO the San Juan region.
The Farmers Congress is another
meeting which is full of meat for the
people Of this locality. Agriculture is
no longer an experiment here but the
methods may be improved and wise
course OF seed selection followed until
our products. acre for acre. will be in.
creased greatly both in quality and
quantity The business of plant breed
ing Is yet in its infancy but most won
derful results have already been OBJ
tanned. BY breeding plants for par
ticular locality 1t is possible to grow
crops which a few years ago would
have been regarded as impossible. The
high altitude orchards OF the San Juan
may yet produce In abundance the
fruits that have been heretofore con
sidered as belonging to other lands
and climes and the range of possibili
ties is 30 great that 1t Is beyond our
comprehension.
The Live Stock Show will give our
delegates q chance to meet with the
stockmen of this and other states and
to tell them OF the wonderful pastures
and succulent grasses OF the San Juan
country. Our stockmen will see the
improved grades Of stock and will
bring into our lands animals of the
best types to head the San Juan herds
and grade up our livestock until they
will compare with those of the locali-
ties which have for years made the i'm.
provement Of their herds study.
The San Juan country's wealth OF
minerals is scarcely known to the out
coal, its veins of precious metals. are
undeveloped and the wealth bequeath.
ed us by nature lies undisturbed await
ing the day when capital and trans
portation facilities shall be here to
bring it forth and send 1t to the wait
ing multitudes who need 1t and who
want 1t.
The territory comprising the San
Juan district is vast treasure house.
its mountains rich In hidden stores
and Its valleys waiting only the com.
ing OF the tiller of its soil to produce
products rivaling those of the Prom
ised Lands of the Mosaic period, and
1t is but a question of very short
