History Of the Pipe,

The history of the development oil
pipes is fascinating and forms an i'm
portant part In the history OF censers
II Is believed that the pipe ante.dates
the use OF narcotic herbs. such as to
bacco although the Importance OF
smoke appears to have been chiefly. II
not wholly. due to its supposed medi.
cal properties. The offering of In
cense made by the Aztecs co the
Spanish conquerors resembles in
many respects the familiar peace pipe
customs of the American Indians
and the pipes themselves are similar
to those found everywhere between
southern Mexico and Canada. The
custom Of smoking probably did not
originate through the enjoyment OF
the taste OF the smoke. but arose In
connection with the development OF
the FIRE cult IN which 1t had a sacred
Significance.

TROUBLE IN DINING ROOM
Little Mixup Between Ladies' Accepted
PhlIosophlcally by the TorpldviIIe
Landlord.

AT one time yesterday it looked
like we was going to have a little
trouble here in the dining room, but it
didn't come to nothin' much" related
the landlord of the Torpidville tavern.
Maxine and Sylphie, the young Ia
dies that are waitin' table, got to squab-
blin' about pint of etiquette, or the
merits Of their respective fellers, or
something that-a-way, as ladies Is
everlastin'ly doin'; and Sylphie, reck-
on it was, told Maxine, or mebby Max
inc told Sylphie-anyhow, one told the
other that she wasn't no better than
she ort to be. And Maxine, or
Sylphie, whichever it was, got sorter
fussy about it, and answered that she
was too. and she didn't care who knew
1t! And then they kind O. tied in on
each other and went round and round
as it were, and it took 'em quite a
while after it was over to wash the
ketchup and broken glass out of their
Golfers. as they call their hair. But
that's all it amounted to, and there's
no use in firm 'em, for ladies will be
ladies and there amt no help for it."

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS.
"Place One on Every Package" Ia
Good Motto to Follow.

Thanksgiving Day eighty million
Red Cross Christmas seals were
placed on sale in the United States. OF
this number, two million were allotted
to Colorado. The seals sell for one
cent each and the money thus raised
is used in a general fight against the
spread of tuberculosis. The seals are
purchased and placed on Christmas
letters and packages. They are very
beautiful and carry with them a mes
sage of Christmas cheer. They are on
sale in almost every postoffice and
general store in every town in Colo
RADIO. This novel way OF spreading
Christmas good wishes and at the
same time of raising fund for the
benefit of the unfortunate sick was
adopted some years ago and has
proved i'm m sely satisfactory
throughout the entire world.
"Place one on every package" Is a
good motto for all people to follow.

The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar

that never grows tiresome.
One OF the sources of rheumatism Is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-

For the Third Time It Is Held That the Murderer's Release Would Be Con trary to Public Peace and Safety

 Harry Kendall ThaW, slayer of Stan ford White. is, in the eyes of the law, still insane and must remain in the asylum where he was placed February l. 1908, after the murder of the New
 York architect. Justice Keogh of the
 supreme court today denied Thaw's duplication for freedom on the ground that his release would be dangerous
 to the public safety
 Justice Keogh, briefly sketching the efforts of Thaw to obtain his dis charge from the hospital said that in May, 1908, Justice Morschaused in an able opinion declared Thaw then in- sane; in June, 1909. Justice Mills held likewise declaring that it would be dangerous to the public peace and safety to grant his discharge, and that the present writ aiming to se- cure his release was the subject of
 an inquiry occupying eighteen days under the management of able cOun- sel.
 Having listened to all testimony said the justice, 'I am of the opinion that Harry K. ThaW still is insane and his discharge would be dangerous to the public peace and safety. 1 The writ of habeas corpus ordered dismissed and Thaw was returned | to the custody of the institution 1 Thaw read the decision with seeming 1 indifference

Probable Delay in the Evac- uation of City by Orozco Who Says It Is Not His Purpose to Abandon Chi huahua
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

JUAREZ, July 26.-The advance guard of the federals was sighted to- day by the rebels at Matacsic, about 25O miles southwest of Juarez. When the news reached Orozco's head quarters here, a train was ordered made up on the Mexican Northwest ern railroad with the evident inten- ton of transporting the rebel troops from Casas Grandes to Madeira to face the advancing federal forces The main body of the federa1s is at La Junta tonight.
 This makes clear the method of the federal approach to take from the rebels the strip along the border of the United States. The federals evidently will approach Juarez along the Mexican Northwestern railroad. a Canadian American owned road which so far has not been molested by the rebels. This roundabout ap- proach from Chihuahua is doubtless due to the destruction of the MeXi- can Central railroad, which runs south from JuareZ to the state capi- tai A courier reported at OroZcO's headquarters here that the rebels destruction crew so far had torn UT sixty miles of tn road burning the ties and destroying the rails. Just what action the approaching federals along the Northwestern road may cause, was not announced but al least the American owned road vii be employed by rebels to move troops until the federals are danger ously close.
 OrozcO had planned to evacuatt Juarez, by moving by way of Casas Grandes for the state of Sonora tt join his main command but today's developments may lead to a change of plan.
 General OroZcO denounced as un- authorized the demand made upon tht Madeira company for $1OO,O0O golo with a threat to destroy the Mexican Northwestern railroad if it was not paid OrOzcO declared that he would not permit the destruction of th' railroad and repudiated the respon- sibility for the threat.
