The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism,

policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does positive harm to himself,

nifty.

The Penknife in History,


Nowadays we use penknives princi.
pally for sharpening pencils. There
was a time, however, when they were
used. primarily, for doing something
else. They used to be just what their
name would indicate. They were
'pen-knives." A pen-knife used to
be just what it's name would indicate
"a "pen-knife." The ancients used
pens made Of goose quills, just as our
own forefathers did up to about a
hundred years ago. The quill Pen was
made by hand, of course, and when
ever the point of one would break
or lose it's elasticity it was up to- the
penman to put a new point or nib
on the quill. This was done with a
small knife, and hence we have the
word that has outlived the quill pen
a hundred years-"pen-knife." In the
olden times the pen-knife was a nee
essary accessory Of the writing desk.
When the clasp-knife came in, the
smaller sizes took their name from the
little desk knife, while the bigger ones
were called "jack-knives''-" sig
nifying anything masculine or big and
strong.

the little prince, ''that you will take

HEMP KINGS OF YUcATAN.

The fifty kings live in costly pal
aces in Merida and many Of them
have homes abroad. They travel a
great deal, usually they speak sev-
eral different languages and they
and their families are a most cult
waited class Of people. All Merida
and all Yucatan, even all the PENN
sula of Yucatan, are dependent on
the so henequen kings. Naturally,
these men are in control of the po-
litical machinery of their state, and,
naturally, they operate that ma
chinery foe their own benefit. The
slaves are 5000 Yaqui Indians i'm
ported from Sonora, 5000 Chinese
(Coreans) and between 1OO ,O0O and
$4,000 native Mayas, who formerly
owned the lands that the Henequen
kings now own.-Turners BAR

AMERICAN Army N TExs.
Cleanliness Prevailed and Every Pro-
caution Observed for the Wei
fare Of the Soldiers.

"Not the least important factor in
the efficiency OF the division Is the
medical and sanitary work Of the
chief surgeon and his assistant.
Great pains were taken to insure q
pure water supply, but all water
used by the troops for drinking and
cooking is boiled. The orders on
this subject are stringent and are
enforced to the letter. Every COM
pany kitchen has a big oven formed
by an excavation in the ground,
paved and walled by large stones.
Fires are kept burning in these ovens
and the stones become red hot. All
garbage is thrown on these red hot
stones and completely destroyed. All
kitchen utensils are kept spotlessly
clean, and there is nothing left about
the kitchens to attract flies. All
sewage is completely destroyed by
burning it with parafin oil. As an
additional precaution, by order of
the secretary of war, incubation
with anti-typhoid serum was made
compulsory on every officer and man
of the division. Bathing was also
made compulsory for the enlisted
men of the division. As a result, the
bathing squads, with towels under
arms, bound for a scrub in the bar
racks, alternated with the typhoid
squads marching up to the surgeons
needles. Army and Navy Journal,

CHRISTIANITY.

Never has the moral content of
Christianity been accepted as widely
as now. The Greeks and Romans,
greater in some ways than we,
deemed slavery necessary to the ex-
istence of an intellectual class. La
Dor with the hands for hire
they held contemplate. Hatred
between nations they thought in
evitable. Respect for labor has
come, and progress in industry
means that the carpenter Of to-
day has a broader education than
the feudal baron and q better under
standing. War, once the rule, is
looked upon more every year as an
out-of-date absurdity. If the heart
Of the Gospel is the substitution of
friendliness for hostility, then the
day Of realization apprehension
lier's.

WOMEN PLAYING BiLLIARDs.

Women are becoming more and
more adept at billiards. A decade
ago a woman billiard player was
practically unheard OF. Nowadays
we frequently hear Of them playing
in the privacy Of their own homes.
And it will not be long before they
will be playing public matches.
It was only recently that the first
step in this direction was taken
when Mrs. Bertha May King and
Miss Martha Clearwater played in
New York for the first women's pool
championship Of the world. The
match gave a decided impetus to the
game, and those who know predict
that the concert. halls of theaters
will soon be the scenes Of many sim
liar pool and billiard matches.

MILK IN THE CELLAR.

When milk is apt to be kept in the
cellar the pans should be on swing
shelves and nothing Of strong enough
flavor to contaminate it should be
close by. The butter may also be
kept here. Unless the cellar is thor
oughly screened it is well to have
the shelves inclosed in wire netting
and fitted with swinging doors. Meat
should also be protected by netting
or be placed in a wire safe. Bacon.

MANY ORDERS FOR PHEASANT
Farmers Of Idaho Think 6lrds VIII
Prove Valuable a. Pest
Extermlnatora

Roland G. Voddard is in Boise,
Ida, after an extensive trip through
the southern part of the state, where
he has been placing orders for hum
dreds Of pheasants among the farm
ers, who have been persuaded that
the birds will prove valuable As
grasshopper exterminators.
81 have placed these birds in Wy
oming and Utah." said Mr.. Vod-
dard, ssand everywhere | have been
most successful. The birds appar-
emily have an unlimited capacity for
grasshoppers and consume quantities
of them every day. The old-fash-
toned idea Of using paris green and
other poisons to rid any country OF
the pests is rapidly giving way.
"In some parts of Utah last sum-
mer many ranchefs used a sort of tin
net, which they dragged across the
field and resulted in the killing of
millions of the insects. On n field
of 1870 acres 30 sacks filled with
grasshoppers were taken by means of
these nets. But the pheasants are
far more effective.
"There will be hundreds of pleas
ants in the southwestern part of the
state this year as a result of the ac-
tivity of the farmers.
of turkeys are allowed to run in
the fields the benefits are great, for
the big birds can live for a long time
on a diet Of grasshoppers. The
amount of the pests which the pheas-
ant will consume will be nearly twice
as much.
"The idea of placing ~pheasants
on farming tracts for the purpose
Of doing away with the g~rasshop-
pers was started years ago in Kan
sas, when farmers Of that state ran
out Of paris green and had to find
some new scheme of Kidding their
country Of grasshoppers."-New
York Herald.
