Pixies Peak Not the Highest

What is the highest mountain in Co
lorado2 Pixies Peak" nineteen per-
sons out Of twenty will answer, and in
correctly. The twentieth may know
that the two highest mountains in the
State are Mount Massive and Mount
Ebert, both in Lake County, in the
Leadville District. The altitude Of
each OF these mountains, according to
ting United States Geological Survey, is
14,402 feet above sea level. The
height OF Pixies Peak is 14,108 feet.
Moreover, there are fifty or sixty other
peads in Colorado approximately as
high-over $4,000 feet. The lowest
point in Colorado is $3.50 feet above
sea level. OF all the States Colorado
has the highest average altitude, esti-
mated by the Geological Survey at
$500 feet.
Although not the highest mountain,
Pixies Peak is probably the best known
peak in the United States. There was
at one time a Weather Bureau station
on its summit, and it now has a sub
stantial railway station at the terminus
of the highest railway line in North
America. 1t can also be reached by
an excellent wagon road and trail
which connect the summit with Colo
RADIO Springs.

Dear Uncle Donald,

Dear Uncle Donald,
Il have been keeping company with
a girl for about three months, haven't
went with any other girls and expected
her to do the same, as she told me she
never went with anybody else. There
was a dance and I was not home and
she went with two other girls but went
home went home with fellow. She
told me about it herself, and said she
was going home with the other girls
but they both got fellows and so when
one wanted to take her home she let
him. Do you think she cares anything
for me for if she did would she do that7
Do you think I ought to 60 with her
any more9 Yours Truly
Charlie"

attend one dance without hooking up
with another fellow" he was inclined to
have very little faith in her constancy.
Having coaxed the young man down
from the heights to which he had
worked himself, I gave him the same
sort of advice as I am going to give to
you.
You, Charlie, are like lot Of young
fellows of the present day. You are
attracted to some girl, who does not re-
pulse your advances. You do not
know your own mind well enough as
yet to speak Of marriage, which is as il
shoula be. You are constant to the
extent that if there is place of amuse-
ment to attend or any excuse for an
evenings outing, she is the one whom
you invite to accompany you, and you
never neglect her to 60 with some
one else. She reciprocates in kind by
refusing all other invitations which may
come her way. and giving you at all
times the preference, which is fair, and
all that you could reasonably ask. But
you expect more than that. You fancy
that she must, like the heroine of an
old fashioned novel, tremble with de-
light at the sound of your approaching
footsteps, and droop like flower when
the sun has set if you are absent fol
more than a day. You cannot see, in
this particular case, how she could find
any desire to mingle in merry company
when you were not there, and to per
nit herself to be escorted home by
another person of masculine persuasion
was but revelation Of her appalling
fickleness and utter responsibility.
Pause long enough in your condem-
nation to consider that there has been
nothing in your relation with her to
give you any claims upon her which
she has not fulfilled. She has favored
you with a degree Of fidelity which
many another young man would give
much to receive at the hands OF the
girl OF his choice. In the present case
she attended dance in your absence,
to which you have no right to object
you don't own her, you know-and,
being left to either 60 home alone OIL
accept masculine protection, chose
what doubtless was-since you speak
no word against the character Of hel
escort-the safer course.
You ask if she cares for you. If she
did not, she would not have come to
you of herself. and told you OF the
dance, and all that followed, in the way
she did. She cares Tor you, at the
least, as much as you deserve.
You ask again il you should continue
going with her So far as anything
that she has done there is no reason
why you should not; concerning your
own conduct in the matter I am not Sc
certain. If you can and will master the
unreasoning jealousy which has posses
sion Of you just now, all should be well
with you both; otherwise it were better
for her If you separate yourself from her.
Returning to the subject Of the
young man whom l mentioned, he
overcome his unduly jealous tenden-
cies more successfully than had anti
cipated. l heard from him some two
weeks ago; they are married, and living
verp happily together in California.

family declined TO comment to-day on the
causes which led to the retirement of

that the change was due to a personal
affair which arose while Escudero was

Chihuahua border.
Escudero's successor has not been Sc
lected. II is considered possible that his
place may be filled by Manuel Bonilla,
who served in President Maderos Cabi-
net as Minister of Communications. Escu-

result had been satisfactory TO business
interests.
In Durango the business houses. with
the assistance OF the government had
issued fiat money, which had the moral
backing OF the community. This issue
may be absorbed by the fat paper cur

quantities This issue IS not OF the Vari-

London, Dec. S.-Ambassador Pages
speech at the Savage Club dinner on
Saturday night seems to have alarmed
The Standard" which complains that
the Ambassadors revised version Of the
Monroe Doctrine extends that famous
principle of American foreign policy
far beyond its original scope and sig
nificance. Continuing, THE Standard"
says: Ambassador Page has stated
that the policy Of his government is to
aid the smaller Western republics to
establish self-government for the bene-
fit Of the governed, but the new policy
looks uncommonly like the semblance
Of self-government under American
control to create a monopoly OF COM
mercial opportunity for those Of his
enterprising cuntrymen who embark
on undertakings in Central or South
America.
This latest development of Ameri-
can policy does not harmonize with
the principle of equality Of commercial
opportunity which all civilized coun-
tries have recognized and adopted in
regard to the development of countries
i'm which there is a field for business
enterprise.
ITO attempt to curtail legitimate
British enterprise in Central and South
American countries. which the ambas-
sadorial statement of policy appears
10 indicate, would inevitably excite just
resentment in this country"

Problem for Carranza.

How far the Zapatista movement III
its present phase is connected with the
revolution in the north is not regarded
here 1t is clear that the Zapatistas
may now say they support Carranza'
but if Carranza became President II is
thought generally here that he would
soon have the Zapatista problem on his
hands. The Zapatista movement is
thing by itself.
Though the practical abandonment OF
the State Of Chihuahua is regarded
here as a blow to the government,
owing chiefly TO its moral effect, some
persons contend that from military
point of view 1t may prove advanta-
geous, as the government Instead or
having its forces scattered over an ex-
tensive territory hard to defend, will be
able to concentrate them in zone sus-
ceptible of more effective defence.
Some persons predict that the decisive
battle of Mexico's civil war will be
fought in Central Mexico.

'ted. charged with disaffection tow

close friend of General Felix Diaz and
