There Is no definite connection to-
day between a college education and
money making, the higher education
having become essential only to the
professions. 1t is nothing unusual to
find graduate punching cattle or
strumming piano in western dance
house or even dealing faro. AS to the
girls, college education makes them
more self reliant, more daring, and
they are beginning on leaving college
to take their chances with the men In
novel enterprises.
Everett Avery on being graduated
delivered an Grafton. The senior class
from neighborlng women's college
attended the exercises, and while
Avery was speaking his attention was
attracted to a dark haired and eyed
girl with a strongly marked face who
was listening to him. A few days
later he attended the commencement
exercises Of the women's college re-
ferred to and sat looking up with in
terest at the girl who had favored him
with her attention.
Avery proved to be one of the men
who find that higher education does
not always bring success. After try
ing number of occupations and find
ing that his education had inspired
him with contempt for all of them
he made up his mind that success Is a
gamble and he would as soon gamble
with his pick as prospectOr for mines
as in any other way. Five years after
Grating on the influences of Greek
civilization on modern university life
he was twenty feet down in hole in
Colorado hunting for gold.
Rather, he was hunting for more gold.
He had struck a vein that promised
something and was following it up. 1t
opened well as he went down, but the
widening seemed rather to lead to, the
western side Of his claim. After fol
lowing it to his line he knocked off
and went away to put in claim for
the adjoining property. He was too
| hC iuhu iOhB uSO bCCh tan
en- up. After having been away from
his mine for some time he returned to
it to find n hole on the claim he had
been after. A good deal Of dirt had
been taken out, but not enough tc
show that the claim was being worked
by more than one person.
Avery went to work again, following
his "lead' down, since he had reached
his limit to the west. One day he dis
tinctly heard the sound of pick IL
that direction. His neighbor had evi
IDENTIFY struck the vein he had discov
cred. Suddenly something gave way
and the whole west SIDE of the min,
slid down, mass of loose dirt. There
stood his neighbor. To Avery's aston
ishment, the miner was n woman.

philadsIphia,s Mi,sion Idea

When plans were discussed to enroll
the entire church membership Of Phlla-
delphia as systematic contributors to
missions ]. Campbell White, the gen.
eral secretary Of the laymen's mission
airy movement. announced that one
fourth of the church congregations
throughout the United States contrib
ute nothing to missions. The meeting
at which Mr.. White made this state
ment was practically the first public
meeting of the great mems movement
in Philadelphia.

Refreshments After Service.

A unique idea recently was tried by
the Rev. Frank ID. Sheets at the South
Park Methodist Episcopal church, in
Chicago. 1t had been known that, fol-
lowing the sermon by the Rev. Frank
d. Sheets, refreshments would be serv-
ed in the parlors with young women
as walters.
The spiritual interests Of the young
men were not neglected, however, for
with the. handing out Of cup Of CO.
Goa and the kind Of bread that mother
used to make, with raisins in It, were
words of welcome to the church serV-
ices and an invitation to come again.

A CORNER FOR THE CHILDREN
SHEEP AND WOLF.
A Game In Which Twelve or More Can
Play.

A Game In Which Twelve or More Can
Play.
Tear a piece of paper into as many
pieces as there are players and on each
piece write some number representing
an hour in the day. AS there are only
twelve hours, there can be only twelve
numbers, but If more than twelve are
playing you can make some of the
numbers half hours, says McCalls
Magazine.
On one piece Of paper mark a cross
and then shake all the numbers in a
hat, each player drawing out one. The
one who gets the slip with the cross on
it is the wolf" while the other play
erS are called the sheep"
A ring is then formed by the sheep,
the wolf standing in the middle The
sheep then call out, what time will
you dine tonight, old wolf?" and Mr..
Wolf calls out any hour he happens to
think of.
Then the sheep who holds the slip
corresponding TO the number called by
the wolf starts to run. If he can get
round the ring three times before being
caught by the wolf he is safe; if not
he must be wolf. The game keeps up
until all have had their turn at being
wolf.

THE NEW BELT CORSET.
Makes One Look Slender Without Dis
comforts a French Idea.


COMFORTS a French Idea.
The belt corset, which originated in
Paris, insures slenderness of the waist
as we'll as trimness. 1t furnishes the
necessary abdominal support and has
the usual straps attached to hold 1t
down. But it rises only an inch or so
above the waist line, and there is con-
sequently no pressure to the figure
when leaning over. In fact, it Is n
supremely comfortable garment, which
allows Of development of the body and
proper breathing.
The new corset gives an unusual
slenderness to the figure without max
ing the waist smaller. The waist, as
matter of fact, will probably be a lit
tie larger, but it will be heightened and
fatter, like the waist of an athletic
woman. However, the small waist is
less fashionable each year. The lines
of women's figures are straighter, and
the graceful one piece dress still leads
in popularity.

FOR THE BRIDE TO BE.
Some Wedding Gown Hints For the
Practical Girl.

Some Wedding Gown Hints For the
Practical Girl.
The bridal gown should be selected
with a thought for the travelling ar
rangements following the ceremony
A white bridal gown and misty veil
of white are the fondest dream of every
girlish heart, and certainly none other
compares with it. Occasions occur,
however, when the bride prefers a
walking costume or a travelling suit.
Such gown is suitable when the mar
riage occurs before the noon hour or
when the bride and bridegroom go di-
rectly from the altar to train or boat.
When the walking costume is chosen
1t is in a favorite color of silk, broad
cloth or some kindred material. Gloves
of harmonizing tone and hat with
plumes, flowers or ribbon trimmings are
worn. Either prayer book or clus-
ter of flowers may be carried.
On the occasion Of second marriage
good taste eschews white and fixes a
costume Of the type just described.

WHITE FOR WINTER.
Whim of Dame Fashion Extends to
Hand Bags, Shoes and Gloves.

Whim of Dame Fashion Extends to
Hand Bags, Shoes and Gloves.
Not so many years ago it was an I'M
heard of thing to wear white in win
ter. That color was reserved for warm
weather, when alone it was deemed
appropriate. But now women who
can afford to include more than one
coat suit in the winter optfit are apt
to have one white serge or corduroy
or mayhap white velvet tailored suit
for calling purposes and afternoon teas
and receptions. Not only the suit, but
hat-at least the trimming on it-shoes,
hand bag and gloves share the same
snowy hue, especially the gloves, for
these days white gloves are almost
universally worn, not alone with white
or black and white costumes, but with
dress Of every color even to the sever
est of plain black. The reason for the
liking for white gloves was voiced by
one woman who explained that she
bought no other kind because they can
go to the cleaner and be kept spotless,
whereas the color is rubbed out of tan,
gray or black gloves in the effort to-
remove the soil.
The unbecoming effect Of dead white
on some compilations is relieved by the
juxtaposition of a black collar next
the face. But, on the other hand, the
severity of the solid black is charm
ingly mitigated by the graceful design
with which the collar is braided. Cuffs
and pocket flaps also show touch Of
the braiding to correspond with the
collar. Worn with ermine cap, stole
and muff the suit is stunning and in
keeping with the best taste Of modern
fashion.

RIO GRANOE
To ORGANIZE
SAFETY CORPS

The Denver & Rio Grande has an
nounced the formation of a safety or
ganization consisting of central
safety committee for the purpose of
correcting conditions, customs and
practices that contribute ocasual-
ties
1t is an advance movement in the
direction of organizing to prevent ac-
cidents and is adopted here for the
first time. Its officers will be Off
cials and subordinates of the com
pany.
The organization will promote the
idea that safety comes first The Of
ticers hope in this manner to elimi-
nate large number of the causes
of accidents and thereby minimize
the risk of accident to employees and
to the public.
The central safety committee is
composed of the general attorney,
superintendent of motive power, gen.
eral superintendent, chief engineer,
chief surgeon, claim agent and in
spector of transportation. The di-
vision and shop committees likewise
are made up of the heads of de-
partments and subordinates, includ-
ing a representative of all branches
of service.-Denver Times.
