Delta Comes to Aid
Of aralytic I Traveller

The people of Colorado are always
ready to lend helping hand to those
who are unfortunate, to those who
are helpless, and Delta has Just shown
her attitude in the matter by doing
everything possible to relieve and
comfort Edward Daley, the aged man
who came to this city from Cottage
Grove, Oregon, Last Thursday evening
and fell to the sidewalk from a paraly-
tic stroke in front of DR.. Hunters
dental parlor.
Daley, as was reported in Indepen-
dent columns last week, was carried
into DR.. Hunters office and physicians
summoned He was found to be par
alyzed on his left side and for half or
three-quarters of an hour could not
relate his story Partially recovering
his strength and menta, faculties he
finally succeeded in giving his name,
place of former residence and pro-
posed destination.
He told those present that he was on
his way to the home of an old time
friend near Pueblo. He had just come
out of hospital in the west after
six months siege of sickness which
about thousand dollars excepting
enought to pay his fare to this city
He didn't seem to fully realize what
had happened to himself and when
asked how he intended to complete
his journey to Pueblo he suggested
that he could walk the distance after
recovering from what he considered
fainting spell.
But, says the doctor. you are COM
pletely paralyzed on one side, and you
couldn't walk foot" Then the aged
man began to understand his condi-
tion. Il have just a dollar said the
old man but must not have you peo-
pie do for me for l cannot pay you
back. It was suggested that he would
be properly cared for and would doubt
less be better soon. He seemed to
have a horror of a public home and
mildly protested. 1t was then decided
TO take III IItO llt SOulAhtifidi hotti
where he was cared for until Monday
and a ticket was procured and the un-
fortunatet fellow began the finishing
section OF his journey that day.
Daley stated that he was bachelor
and that he had no near relatives in
this country. He was born In Ken
tueky and had taken part in the civil
was as a confederate soldier. Upon
leaving Delta for his destination the
feeble old man. who. by the way, was
neatly dressed and pleasant appear
ing, thanked the people OF Delta for
taking such an interest in him and
tears were streaming down his cheeks.
He had to be helped aboard the train
that morning but was nervy enough
to begin the mountain pass trip and
thought he could make 1t all right.

conceivable subject, may claim her atten-
ton if she has any desire to broaden her
mental horizon. Most women are discov-
ering that, whatever their beauty and
personal charm, a general understanding
or the problems of the day, as well as
broad, general culture, is expected from
those who occupy prominent positions
and who do not altogether disregard the
obligation thus enjoined upon them. The
continual round of dinners, luncheons and
teas is not always as purposeless as it
seems. The problem Of choosing between
those social activities which are really
worth while and of value to some indi-
vidual is one of the most important in
the society woman's life and one that
cannot be judged by the outsider who sees
but the. one side. The giving of elaborate
entertainments by people who can afford
1t is regarded by some as patriotic duty
necessary to the dignity of the nation
This is especially true when the guests of
honor are foreigners of position, who are
apt to form their opinions of the stand
ing of the nation by the social life which
they encounter. To many these lavish

cluded DR.. George A. Dixon Of New
York, Mr.. Morgan's cousins, Mrs. Lucy
Lee and Mrs. John Hurlbut, and his
granddaughter, Miss Hamilton
Mr.. Satterlee announced at Rome that
Mr.. Morgan's ailment was not an or
ganic disease or debility attendant upon
advanced age, but simply overwork.
Denying himself to all callers, but be-
sieged by art dealers from every -coun-
try in Europe. Mr.. Morgan passed the
time quietly at Rome, keeping much to
his hotel, occasionally motoring and
driving, much of the time playing soli-
taire and nearly always-when the pub
lie glimpsed him-with cigar in his
mouth. His physicians, still baff1ed by
his ailment put him on a diet Of barley
soup and chopped meat and tried to
limit the cigars.
The sun Of Rome, the diet and the doc
tors seemed to have started him back
to health when he attended the Easter
services at the American Protestant
Episcopal Church at Rome. He appeared
to walk with difficulty, however, and left
the church before the services ended He
grew rapidly worse and for several days
lay in practically comatose state.
Last Visit to Wall Street.
Mr.. Morgan paid his last visit to the
financial district the day before he sailed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-03-31

for the Mediterranean and Egypt. On
that occasion he was at his Office for
several hours and it was said that he also
visited.the sumptuous private offices fitted
up for him on one Of the topmost floors
of the Bankers Trust building diagonally
opposite the present offices.
To those who then saw Mr.. Morgan it
was evident that his health was failing.
This was attributed in part to the strain
he had undergone only few days pre-
vious before the Pujo congressional
money trust committee. 1t was almost
the first experience of its kind for the
famous financier, and although he testi-
fed freely and with all frankness the So
licitude then shown by members. of his
family and business associates who were
at his side indicated that they were fear.
full of the effect on his health.
All Wall street knew Mr.. Morgan as
one Of its democratic magnates. In the
days Of his greatest power 1t was his
custom to appear at his banking house
some time around noon. Very often he
rode down from his residence or the
Union Club in an old-fashioned brougham
1t was not until year ago that he began
to use motor car. Frequently he rode
downtown in the subway or on one OF
the surface cars.

asance caused by changing style or an
elaborate decoration gives to some poor
worker employment which he otherwise
might miss? A Philadelphia woman of
quaker ancestry, with a taste for fine
lace and also for plain speaking, ordered
a lace dress made for herself during a
stay in Ireland. 1t was to cost 81 600
and its purchase was well heralded In the
newspapers. Upon her return home she
attended large reception wearing her
lace gown.
While the entertainment was i'm prog
ress an old Friend, distantly related to
her family. managed to set his foot down
upon her train. tearing large hole in
temper. turned upon him sharply for his
awkwardness. IT offer thee no analogy.
Deborah said the old man, severely.
on the contrary, regret that I cannot
tear from thy shoulders the whole gar
ment. Thee should be ashamed to pre-
sent myself to thy friends in public wear
ing gown the extravaganza of which is
a shame to ali womankind. Thy fathers
memory should reprove thee"
AT least l will not permit thee to re-
prove me-, retorted the lady, indignant
ly. Il want thee to understand that I
have no shame in having paid a thou
sand dollars for this dress. Does thee
know that it took three women six
months to produce 1t, and that during
that six months they were able from the
money paid to them to provide food for
themselves and their families for q. whole
year. By purchasing the dress which
thee has torn, and for the mending of
which shall send thee bill, did more
real good for the relief Of the suffering
poor than thee has done in the whole OF
thy life by the distribution Of free meal
tickets to dissolute men who are too lazy
to earn their sustenance. II no woman
gave herself the pleasure Of wearing lace
the poor lacemakers would starve, and
it is better to pay them for. work than to
give them thy kind Of charity
While. of course, monkey dinners, cir
Gus balls and other freakish entertain
ments, which sometimes furnish material
for the society editors. are disgusting to
most people OF taste and judgment, it will
be found that such entertainments gem
orally are given by persons who recently
have acquired money and are not quite
sure how 1t may be expended to the best
advantage. The entertainments, which
are sometimes condemned most severely
