Contrast In Two Great Estates.

OoutTdet III Wo 6Tcdt Gotateos
The list published after the filing of
the official appraisal of E. H. Harri-
mans estate disclosed the fact that
the bulk of the $7O,000.OOO estate left
by the railroad man was composed of
stocks, many Of them speculative.
From the list now published showing
the extent Of Col John Jacob Astor's
wealth, it is learned that the charac-
ter of that mans s87,216.000 estate
was vastly different. Property hold
ings in New York city largely predom-
mated. Realty holdings of Hartman
was appraised at $2.923,000 the AS
tor realty is appraised at 51,25S,000.
At the same time, one of the largest
single blocks Of property IN the AS
tor estate is shown to consist Of 49,
900 shares Of New York Central That
Is valued at $4.650.000. and only the
interest of the estate in the Hotel As
tor and In the Knickerbocker is given
larger valuation. There are three 9TH
er large blocks of railroad stock in
the Astor list, 5000 shares of Della
ware & Hudson. $4,000 Of Illinois Cen
tral and 6,229 Of New Haven.

MAKES GOOD OBJECT LESSON
Cleveland School Children, Taught to
Take Care Of Their Desks, Learn
Respect for Property.

Through cultivation among public
school pupils Of q respect for public
property and desire to protect 1t,
school officials are blazing the way to
the elimination Of graft" and the mis-
use of public funds. J. M. H. Frederick,
school superintendent, told members
of the Cleveland Fellowcraft club at
a luncheon recently.
This end is to be attained, according
to Mr.. Frederick. by the teaching Of
local patriotism in the schools. Local
patriotism is not study, it was ex-
planned, but the development Of de-
sire in each boy and girl to protect
and care for school property tntrusted
to them.
Patriotism begins at home" said
Mr.. Frederick, "and with a child in
school, 1t begins with his desk. The
child who marks, mars or carves his
desk is not good citizen.
Pupils are taught that the marring
of a desk impairs its usefulness and
that after a time 1t must be thrown
away and a new desk purchased. They
are taught that desks and other school
property are paid for from funds de-
rived from taxation. Their parents pay
the taxes. Therefore, by preserving
school property. they are saving their
fathers and mothers from unnecessary
expense"

TO ESTABLISH GiLPiN.
JEFFERSON LINE

County Attorney, Seright, Of Gill
pin county, with the Gilpin county
commissioners-G. E. Fritz, Of Black
Hawk, Neil Mckay, OF Central City,
and john Stevens, of Russell Gulch,
met on Tuesday with the jefferson
county commissioners in an effort to
harmonic action on the Golden and
Central City road by way OF Guy Hill.
Gilpin county and private citizens
have already put up several thous-
and dollars to rebuild their end of
this road to the Gilpin Jefferson line
and propose to spend several thous-
and more to make a better highway
to the valley, Jefferson county has
just completed a re-survey OF the
Guy hill road and the citizens along
this road stand ready to subscribe
goodly sum in cash and work to
aid in rebuilding and improving this
much travelled road.
The Gilpin county officials were
down also for the purpose of fixing
the exact boundary line between the
two counties. They propose to lei
the Gilpin and the jefferson county
surveyors get together and agree or
lime which will be submitted to hhe
commissioners of both counties fol
approval and when so approved, will
be the established boundary between
the two counties.
Dan Booten, Ernest Koch, Henry
Ramstetter, and practically all of the
patrons of the Guy hill road also ap
peared before the county commission
ers to urge the Guy hill road as re
Gently surveyed.
Not being able to get the exact
construction of the new law govern
ing joint construction of roads, the
commissioners took no action on the
matter.-Golden Globe. as

COMFORTER FOR BABY's COT
Pretty Adornment Expensive to Buy,
but May Easily Be Made In the
Leisure Moments.

An exclusive shop is displaying q
lovely comforter for baby which can
easily be duplicated at home. It is
of white china silk trimmed with
small pink roses. The materials re-
Quired for this fascinating article are
two yards of silk, three and one-half
yards Of pink ribbon and one pound
Of cotton batting.
Take one yard Of the silk and mark
the position Of the roses. Arrange
these in seven rows across the width
and seven across the length. alternat-
ing four and three roses. Start the
rows four inches from the edge.
Baste one piece Of the silk to layer
Of cotton before joining the other piece.
Sew through the two pieces of silk
and the cotton at the places marked
for the roses. and neatly whipstitch
the four sides Of the comforter togeth-
or. To fashion the ribbon roses take
one-eighth Of yard Of ribbon q half
inch in width. Turn under the edges
and crease the ribbon at the center.
Roll the ribbon around until q center
10 formed and sew firmly in position.
Swirl the remainder Of the ribbon
loosely around the heart of the rose
until II Ii completed.
Fasten rose securely to each place
marked on the comforter.
This is q lovely gift for the layette,
for 1t is extremely dainty and not DIM
cult to make. Crepe de chine or satin
may be substituted for the silk II de-
sired.-Boston Globe.

CEMENT SIDEWALKS

The four principal requirements of
good sidewalks are, smoothness, nom
absorbant of water, durability and
low in first cost The one that comes
nearest to fitting them all is that of
Portland cement construction.
Care must be taken in the con-
struction of cement sidewalk and
one OF the principal things to constd-
er, lis the foundation. This has often
been entirely neglected with the re-
suit that the walk was soon in need
of repair. The foundation should be
of some material that is easily drain
ed and readily and evenly packed.
Broken stones or gravel is often used
but the best results have been OBJ
tadned by using cinders. An excava-
ton ten inches below the finished
surface should first be prepared. In
this, place six inches of cinders even
ly packed to give an even bearing
surface for the walk. On this is
placed three inches of concrete with
an additional inch of cement cover
ing for wearing surface. The founda-
tion should be thoroughly wet before
applying the concrete. If the base is
allowed to set before the top coat
is put on, it should be left rough
to give binding surface for the next
coat.
Improper proportioning and mixing
of materials and laying in freezing
weather often causes failures, but
more often we find the failure is
due to a poor foundation.

With the Application Of Approved

The organised Tight against tuber.

only fIom 1904. Before that time
there was no successful effort on the
part of the authorities to diagnose
the disease properly. nor any at

when It was discovered accidentally.
Yet New York is as great a sufferer
from the white plague as any other
locality. Its congested living. It's
large negro population and its indi-
gent foreigners, ignorant of our lam
guage and customs. make 1t fertile
breeding-ground for the tubercle ba-

Within eight years, twenty-nine tu-

lished. and several day camps have
been built where sufferers can recu-
perate without expense and without
leaving the .lty. In all these thor

made with modern scientific appara-

somewhat hard Of hearing and often
when he would toll her something she
would say "Huh?'

don't understand, never say 'HuhT to
me. Say Beg pardon That's ever
30 much nicer. Now don't forget.

About a week later he found her
swinging on the gate. Anxious to
test her memory. he asked: well,
Katie, what is 1t you're to say to Mr..
Gable instead of 'HuhT"
Katie's eyes sparkled as she quickly
answered, "Bakin' powdah."

FAXED SENTIMENT TO
AID SUGAR TRUST


exposing the methods used by the
beet sugar TRUST to manufacture ar
tificial and false public sentiment
against the tariff bill, Senator Thorn
as has performed public service,
second only to that of the president,
in calling attention to the insidious
tariff lobby, the most powerful which
ever operated in Washington.
Senator Thomass speech gives the
public some idea of the pressure ma
tional legislators must stand whel
they attempt to pass laws which the
special interests oppose but which
the people want.
= Senator Thomas, and his colleague,
Senator Shaffroth, as well as two
representatives-at- Edward Keat-
ing and E. T. Taylor, were elected in
Colorado last fall on THE Democratic
ticket by pluralities ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 votes, While the plat
form did not specifically endorse the
removal of the duty on sugar, it en-
Democratic house, one of which was
to pass free sugar BILL and repre-
sentative Heating ran on straight
free sugar laptform. 1t was evident
that Colorado, with its extensive sug-
ar industry voted for free sugar by
a plurality of $4,000.
The special session of congress
met. The tariff bill, providing for
free sugar, was introduced. And then
what happened? From all parts of
Colorado letters began pouring in on
that stae's senators and representa-
tives protesting against free sugar.
So numerous and vehement were all
these letters and kilograms that they
apparently indicated tremendous re-
vulsion cf feeling in the state to-
ward the sugar tariff. Any honest
legislator might we'll hesitate before
he voted against such an overwhelm-
Ing expression Of opinion.
Senator Thomas, however, went be-
hind the returns. He got in communi-
cation with Thomas S. Price. an in
telEgent man formerly employed by
the Great Western Sugar Company,
at Longmont, Colorado, who told the
senator how the fictitious public SEN
timent Was manufactured. He wrote:
You WILL no doubt, receive some
letters from employees of the factory
here, as they are compelled in an un-
derhanded way, either to write them
or take chances of losing their jobs
by refusing"
Price enclosed a form letter which
the sugar companies ordered the en-
ployees to copy. sign and mail to
Washington. This letter does not
speak for the sugar company. but is
all for the poor farmer and the poor
wage Garner. After instructing the
employees how to direct the letters,
the instructions were: "A letter to
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of
the United States, Washington, d. c.,
will do whole lot of coed. If you
are a Democrat, tell them so. 1t
will carry more weight"
In this way thousands Of employees
of Colorado sugar mills have been
influenced" to write to their sena-
tors and congressman, urging them
TO vote against free sugar. Senator
Thomas charged that a similar cam
paign was carried on among the sug-
beet growers and with banks and
commercial organizations, and all of
them have been adding their letters

PAY YOUR JANUARY
BILLS PROMPTLY

Thursday, January I, will be
"Bill Day." when all kinds OF
accounts, monthly, quarterly and
semi-annual, will fall due, and
every good, thoughtful citizen
ought to see to it that collectors
are given a glad hand and sent
away rejoicing.
Business men are the victims
of the extended credit system
and deserve more sympathy than
they receive because of the un-
fortunate tendency of many
otherwise considerable customers
to put off paying just and long
standing accounts when they are
presented.
Too many people ask for and
receive credit as a matter of
right and resent the entirely
proper efforts of collectors to
secure payments of accounts.
Merchants incur obligations
for goods on the prospect of sell
ing them and collecting their
accounts, and the failure Of pa
irons to meet their obligations
promptly is the frequent cause
of embarrassing financial situa-
tions and commercial disasters.
Many a business man has had
to ask for extensions from whole
sale houses and banks and finally
damaged his credit when he had
thousands of dollars on his
books in the names of good
people" who neglected to pay
their accounts when rendered.
A man in business hesitates tc
sue his de!in quent customers, as
that is a source of provocatior
and expense, and yet he is OTTER
helpless in the face of pressing
creditors.
Let everybody start off the
new year by making a determin
ed effort to pay every bill as
presented, and the result will b'
easier trade conditions for all.
Have your check book ready
on Thursday morning.
