Graceful Women Of India.

Graceful Women Of India.
Describing the women Of India, q
writer says: Even the most with
cred toll worn bag has dignity Of car
rage and grace Of motion that the
western woman might envy. The
sari is draped in an easy flowing style
and adjusted as it slips back with a
graceful turn of the silver bangled
arm, the skinny legs move rhythmical.
~ and the small feet fall with q silent
and pantherlike tread. It is the beau
ty of natural and untrammeled motion
and says much in favor Of the aboli-
ton of the corset, for the Indian wom-
en- retain their uprightness and supple
ness Of figure till bowed with age.
The commonest type is the coolie wo-
man, who undertakes all sorts Of
rough work, carrying heavy burdens
on her head, and she is perhaps the
least attractive. for her workaday gar
ments are usually faded and dirty, yet
even among this poor class Of burden
bearers we see many with handsome.
straight features and supple, we'll pro-
portioned figures. No matter how poor
their garments, jewelry Of some sort is
worn-necklaces Of gold or beads, col
ored glass or silver bangles and heavy
silver anklets.''

tn, WAGON Vince, Paradox.

i A very interesting paradox IS the one
concerning an ordinary wagon wheel.
which is solid and rigid, yet, when fas-
tened on its axle on wagon, when the
wagon moves part of the circumfer-
ence Of the wheel which is in contact
with the ground is for an instant at
absolute rest, while the point directly
perpendicular to it is flying along at a
high rate of speed. The two points
horizontal with the center of the wheel
are travelling pretty fast. but only half
as fast as the topmost point. and as
the up going horizontal point increases
In speed the down going one slows ur
until it is ut rest for moment when
In contact with the ground. Yet the
wheel is one solid piece and there are
only two points going at the same rate
Of speed at the same time. Yet II the
wheel is taken of the axle and rolled
down an incline every point Of the cir
conference moves at the same rate OF
speed.

Animals Attack the Lunos.

sr4x animals Attack Sno Lungs.
Watch any flesh eating animal when
It Is attacking it's prey or watch two
animals having fight to the death.
You will notice one remarkable fact,
and that Is that they strike for the
lungs. Most people, of course, are
we'll aware where their own lungs are,
but they haven't the slightest idea
about any other lungs. Animals in
stinctively know, however, the posi-.
tlon Of the lungs Of almost every 9TH
or animal. When tiger or lion at
tacks a man 1t does its best to get
just below the shoulder blades. If it
strikes without warning you will al
ways find that its powerful paws have
torn right through to the lungs. A
cat has just the same instinct. It
goes for the lungs-the vital spot
just the same as its bigger brothers.
Watch it stalk sparrow and you will
see how cleverly It maneuvers 20 as
to get behind the unfortunate bird
and pounce on its back. where the

FIRST STATE BANK OF LlTCH
T. |w@ .--.-s ... VILE

No sooner was it certain that Litch-
vile would be the name of the new
town on the Casselton branch than a
number of energetic business men de-
cided to start bank there. This was
in the fall of 1900 and the name given
the new institution was the First State
Bank of Litchville. The incorporators
were C. E. Bachelor, Nome, N. D.,
president; L. A. Bachelor, Nome, vice
president, and Thomas Casey, Itch
vile, cashier. The capital stock was
s., 100000.
In 1906 Mr.. Casey sold his interest to
John NJ. Olson and others and gen.
eral reorganization took place. The
year previous E. N. Headland had been
made cashier and with the change in
stockholders John NJ. Olson was elect
ed president and L. NJ. Olson vice pres
ident. H. L. Hanson was made cash
Ter.
In 1907 the capital stock of the
bank was raised to $4,000 and in 1909
was increased to $25, 900 and a new
building erected This is one Of the
largest structures in the city and is
located on a Main street corner in
the center Of town.
The total business of the bank in
1906 was $4,000. At present her bust
ness is $4,000. The last quarterly
statement showed banking house and
fixtures worth $9,450.OO and cash on
hand $50, 06346. Loans and discounts
were above 100000, while the capital
stock and surplus were s31 100000, de-
posts were $116,76

WORK ON CONVICT
ROAD ABANDONED

Palisade, Colo, May 2l.-The finest
stretch of mountain road in Colorado
must go half finished because of the
refusal of Governor Shafroth to call 4
special session of the legislature to pro
vide for the distribution of the half
million-dollar state highway fund.
The road, which is being built by CON
victs to connect Plateau valley with
the rest of Mesa county, will only be
completed for distance of nine miles
instead OF attempting to- complete it to
connect with Paisade, as originally
planned. The highway commission hal
agreed to pay $4,000 toward the con
structIon of the road, which would have
opened to the public the Grand Mesa
lakes, one of the finest scenic spots in
the state.
The state has had from sixty to sew
enty convicts at work on the road, part
OF which was built through solid rock
on the mountainside. The expense of
maintaining the camp has been about
81, 200 per month, and the county has
been paying the bills which the state
had agreed to assume. Now, from this
unexpected drain on the county treas
ury the road fund has been practically
exhausted and as soon as a small
stretch of road is completed to the
river crossing the convicts will be per-
mitted to leave the county, although
there is still two years work before
them.
The Mesa county commissioners start
ed movement to have Governor Shat
roth call a special session, aud although
he has publicly declined, efforts ara
being made to interest the commission
ers in other counties, and also to bring
about a reversal of this decision. Mesa
county has already fulfilled the agree
ment made with the state highway com
mission, for the construction of this
important link in the states highway,
and now is demanding that the state
perform its part of the contract and
furnish the money needed to complete
the road.

scHENcK NOT TO COLLECT $4,000

S. Z. Schenck, former chief officer Of
the Union Trading company, a failure
because of the alleged mismanagement
of the officers, will have to convince
Federal Judge X. +. Lewis this week
that he is entitled to salary of $4,000
a year out of the assets of the bank
rupt farmers cooperative concern.
says the Denver Post.
The officers of the company, who
have taken hold since its failure and
are trying to put it on its feet again
are going to insist on the production Of
the contract made by the first board of
directors of the company giving
Schencl the right to retain $1,000
year as manager of each store. They
have not been able to get hold of this
contract; and, if it is couched in Ger
tain terms, they intend to make the di-
rectors show by what authority they
made the contract, and force them to
explain why they persistently refused
to show it to anyone connected wi@h
the company.
Schenck was arrested on five inform
ations charging embezzlement and OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
He was taken to Glenwood Springs and
released on bond. lie refuses to cut
down his salary account.
The attorneys will seek to have the
court grant final order of adjudica
tion next week: and, if there are as
sets enough left, the business will be

so SAY WE ALL

One of the worst political cam
paigus ever known in any American
city will reach its climax at the elec-
tion in Denver next Tuesday. For
dirty mud singing and political filth
it far exceeds anything ever before
seen in the capital city, and that Is
saying much. The newspapers have
certainly outdone all their former eff
forts, and of course they expect the
balance of the state to applaud them.
The republican managers even got so
excited over the matter that they have
made appeals to the country press to
take hand in the deal to ''help save
the dear old party Dear old moth
ing-the people of the state have lit
tie intelligence left, and those who
have been funning Denver's affairs
with such high hand for these many
years certainly have something coming
to them, and here s hoping they get 1t
good and plenty. It's not question
of party, but matter of the public
utility corporations of Denver contin-
uing to run the affairs of that city and
incidentally of the whole state. Party
'cuts no ice'' with them. The Post
has found libel suit on a half million
or SO and wants an immediate hearing
to prove its case. 1t is certainly
great stunt all around but we will all
be glad when the sore is cut out al
though the operation may be painful

PUZZLERS

Where can a man buy cap for his
kneey
Or key for lock of his hairE
Can his eyes be called an academy,
Because there are pupils there!
In the crown of his head what gems
are set?
Who travels the bridge of his nose?
Can he use, when shingling the roof or
his mouth,
The nails ON the ends of his toes?
What does he raise from slip of his
tongue?
Who plays on the drums of his ears
And who can tell the cut and style
OF the coat his stomach wears?
Can the crook of his elbow be sent to
Jail,
And if so, what did it do?
How does he sharpen his shoulder
blades?
III be hanged if l know-do you?

PLIGHT OF GOVERNOR sHAFRoTH

Governor John Shafroth states in
substance in giving his reasons why
he will not call an extra session in
order to re-enact the highways com
mission bill that he is afraid of his
own party majority in the legislature.
So notorious We're the workings of the
last Legislature, which was absolutely
in charge of the Speer democrats that
the governor can hardly be blamed for
this fear. One would not invite a
crew of pirates into ones house and
the Bourbon majority in the last legis-
lature, without rancor or partisan bit
terness, can conservatively be termed
"pirates.
The governor cannot be greatly crit
icised. 1t was the hope of the Daily
News that the governor could secure
sufficient promises from democrats in
the Legislature to be good, temporarily
at least for the sake of the entire state,
but apparently Governor Shafroth is
hopeless. He can see no chance of
deathbed repentance or political re-
form in the men his party nominated
and the people foolishly elected to
"represent them'' in the legislature.
The plight of Governor Shafroth is
truly pathetic. He would like to call
the extra session and re-enact the high
way bill, but he dare not-he is afraid

AS TO THE recent municipal land
slide in Denver the republicans are
congratulating themselves upon the
fact that it might have been much
worse. For instance the republicans
are very much better off than if Speer
with his corrupt political machine had
carried the day. Considering the fac.
that the entire city machinery was in
the hands of the Speer gang which has
stolen from 5000 to $4,000 votes at
every election since Speer went into
the business of controlling Denver, the
republicans are feeling pretty good

DANIEL HEALEY DROWNED

Leadville, May 2l.-Former Statc
Senator Daniel Healey, aged %, was
drowned in Turquoise lake, five miles
north of here, yesterday while on
fishing trip with Henry O'keith AMI
Charles Schrader Soon after lunch
yesterday Heaey started for the lake.
His companions followed a few minutes
later and foun6 the senator lying face
downward in two feet of water. Every
effort was made to resuscitate him,
but life was extinct j is believed
that Healey was seized with one of the
cpileptic fits from which he had been
a sufferer since childhood, and while
in a convulsion fell into the water.
Senator Healey was born in Ireland.
He came to America with his parents
when > years OF age and lived at Han
cock, Mich. In 1850 he came to Lead
vile and has been closely identified
with the affairs of the city ever since.
He was member of the legislature for
one year during the administration of
Governor Mcdonald. He was appoint
ed state senator when Jesse Mcdonald,
who was elected to the legislature
from Teller county, was made the com
promise governor. After a year in the
house he refused to hold his seat.

IF EVER THE death penalty is jus
tilted it was richly deserved in the case
of Rev. C. V. Richeson who played fast
and loose with the hearts of young
women and after seducing one of his
too confident victims murdered her to
escape the scandal which he knew was
inevitable. 1t is very, very seldom
that a minister is so debased as to cont
NIT such heinous crime, but when
one so far forgets the high calling he
has espoused and becomes a murderer
he should be given the penalty that is
meted out to other murderers. Richie
sons crime was one of the most revolt
ing in the history of modern crimin-
ology and at no time has there been
scarcely a shadow of doubt as to his
guilt.

THE POST is not shedding any briny
tears over the defeat of both the re
publican and democratic parties in
Denver in the recent election. Therr
has been altogether too much corpora
tion dictation on the part of both of
the old parties, and yet we are sure
that Tammen and Bonfis and Tom
Patterson, who dictated Arnold s nomi-
nation and will shape his policy and
perhaps entirely control his official
actions, can give the other fellows
cards and spades and beat them to II
standstill when it comes to official cor
ruption. But the people wanted a
change, and now let us hope that they
are satisfied.

GOT JUST WHAT
THEY DESERVED

So far we have found only one paper
in the United stats. NOT boldly pro-
claiming fseit sonIIl;stlc or anarchis
tic in policy, defending the industrial
Workers of the World, that rterrrl,
which has caused so much trouble IN
San Diego recently and in other Amer
lean cities and towns from time to time,
and that paper is in Grand Junction.
San Diego citizens dealt harshly
with these anarchists Just as they
should be dealt with. Harsh methods
and emphatic actions alone can stamp
out such aggregations. The l. w. VS.
are entitled to no sympathy, no to!era-
tion and no mercy. They should be
driven from the shores of this country.
We were considerably surprised at
the action of the national socialist con
vention Saturday lin which convcn-
tion the mayor of this city sat as a de-.
egate) in donating $3.50 to assist the
campaign for ''free speech in San
Diego, while at the same time refus-
ing to recognize the l. w. VS. as an
affiliating organization.
The idea of comparing the attacks
of the citizens of San Diego on this
boodthirsty and law hating organiza
tion with the old Salem witchcraf5
deeds is sufficient to make brass
monkey laugh. There isn't the slight
est room for comparison. 1t is a
desperate effort to create sympathy fot
these anarchists.
We hope that every city in America
that has to deal with these individuals
who curse the American flag, curse
American institutions of all kinds and
are willing to steep their souls IN
crime of any nature to gain their pout
will deal with them as strenously and
as effectively as San Diego dealt wit
them.
Can any thinking man or woman,
believing in law and order and in
spred with patriotism, agree to toler-
ate an organization whose announced
doctrines are as follows:
THAT workmen are to use any ami
all tactics that will get the results
sought with the least possible expendi-
ture of time and energy.
The question of right or wrong 5
not to be considered
THE avenging sword is to be un-
sheathed with all hearts resolved or
victory or death.
''The workman is to help himself
when the proper time comes.
No agreement with an employer of
labor is to be considered by the worker
as sacred or inviolable.
1.-The worker is to produce inferior
goods and to kill time in getting tools
repaired and in attending to repair
work; all by a silent understanding.
"The worker is to look forward to
the day when he will confscate the

PERSONALLY we believe that
Dewey Bailey was the only man among
all of the candidates for mayor Of
Denver who was big enough for the
place, but Bailey was handicapped by
the support of the Republican which
has heretofore supported speer and
other democrats and the surprise is not
that Bailey did not run better, but thaa
he made as good a race as he did in
spite of the way he was weighted
down.
