Senator Patterson came to Colora-
do in 1872 and was at once recog-
nized as one of the leading lawyers
OF the state. He was appointed city
attorney for Denver by the City
Council in 1873 and was elected dele
gate to Congress in the then terri
tory of Colorado in 1874. The bill
for the admission of Colorado into
the Union was then before Congress,
having been introduced by jerome b.
Chaffee. Mr., Patterson's predecessor
as congressional delegate. Mr.. Pat
terson went to Washington immedi-
ately after his election, though he
was not to take his seat until March
4. 1875. He worked so effectively
with Mr.. Chaffee that the bill to
make Colorado a state was finally
adopted on the last day of that Con
gress. March 4, 1875. Mr.. Patterson
was elected representative in Con-
gress in 1876. His term expired in
1878. Mr.. Patterson was nominated
for governor in 1883. Colorado was at
that time as strongly Republican
state as was Vermont, and though
Mr.. Patterson ran several thousand
votes ahead of Mr.. Cleveland, who
was the Democratic nominee that
year for president, he was defeated.
He was not a candidate again for
any office until he was elected
United States Senator in l90O-re-

THE problem of bringing the
L club, the school and the labor
union into more vital relation
in order that more just conditions
NAV be established has been a
project very dear to this friend Of
the schools, friend of labor and
friend of women.
Mrs. Bradford has won a nation
al reputation as a speaker on edu-
cational and sociological topics, and
her administration of the office of
state superintendent of public in
struction has marked a distinct ad
vance in the educational affairs of
the commonwealth. Perhaps the
most notable of the forward steps
that she has inaugurated is her
plan for the Standardization of
rural schools upon more complete
scale than has been attempted in
any other state. Carried to sue
cessful conclusion, such a system of
rural school Improvement will mean

vania in introducing boxing among the
methods OF physical training. A few
years ago such an idea would have
been bitterly opposed, and there would
have been small chance OF its adop-
ton. But times change, and peo.
pie grow more broad-minded every
day. There is no question Of the bene-
fit of a knowledge Of boxing as a
means Of self-defense. Anyone doubt
ing this can get the proof instantly
by undertaking to impose on n man
who is q skilled boxer, even II he
is a much smaller person. But the
best use for boxing is as a means Of
hcalthful exercise. In learning to box
the student learns to act quickly, to
keep cool and to watch for an opening.
He finds that in order to successfully
cope with an opponent he must not
lose his temper. The man who loses
his temper while boxing is sure to
get the worst OF 1t. Outside Of
swimming there is no exercise to COM
pare with boxing for complete use Of
the muscles OF the body, and, OF
course, swimming cannot be enjoyed
except in the water. Boxing, being
competitive exercise. is superior to
swimming through the fact that the
nerves as well as the muscles are
exercised in the sparring bout. Quick
ness Of the eye Is one Of the things
that come with constant practise Of
boxing. The lungs are expanded and
every muscle from the top Of the head
to the roles Of the feet Il brought In

BUTTONS OF EVERY COLOR
All Kinds Of Effects and Combinations
Are Permissible-Fancy Stitches
introduced.

Effective combination buttons are
seen, having several shades combined
in notified, checked, mosaic and striped
mixtures. Sometimes the centers are
in direct contrast to the rest OF the
button In extreme colors, such as tan
go and black, purple and green, blue
and tan and so on, and white centers
are seen with rims Of any color. The
tango or orange-yellow background on
buttons Is favorite for summer
dresses, odd blouses, etc. Cameo but
tons have the white head on a saucer
shaped ground OF blue. yellow, green,
black or pink. Jet-rimmed buttons
have red. green. old blue or yellow
centers. Red buttons are used on in
expensive summer frocks.
Small jet buttons are much used on
vests and neckwear. Large crocheted
buttons in round and square designs
OF one or two colors are used on coats
OF heavy corded cottons, and on linen
and ratine dresses and suits. There
are many fancy stitches introduced in
these buttons.

SOME WITTY WEDDING TEXTS
Have Humor, Though None Can
Rightly Deny Their Appropriate
ness to the Occasions.

Parson Turell. Of Medford, who. to
the reputed disappointment OF many
languishing maidens and aspiring
mothers OF his own parish, selected
his wife, a very beautiful brunette, in
another town, caused a stir Of interest
less devotional than human, when,
leaving the lovely stranger seated,
shy, but conspicuous. in the minis
terial pew, he assembled the high pull
pit and gave out in rotund and chal-
longing tones the text:
Il am black but comely, o yc daugh-
tiers of Jerusalem!"
Another worthy pastor chose a text
the application of which was not to
his bride, but to himself. He was q
small, elderly, rather wizened little
man, already twice widower; and it
was common knowledge that he had
recently proposed to. and been re-
jected by two of the prettiest and
best lowered girls in the village. I'm
dismayed by their rebuffs. he had
sought further afield, and had finally
been accepted by q widow, fair, fat,
much more than forty, and far wealth.
Ter than anyone in his parish. His
text was:
Cast not away therefore your con-
fidence, which hath great recompense
of reward"
Perhaps the most amusingly apt OF
all recorded wedding texts was that Sc
lected by Abby Smith, the high
spirited daughter of Parson Smith, for
him to preach from on the occasion
Of her marriage. She had married
John Adams, in spite of the most Wig
orous paternal remonstrances; in fact,
her reverend parent had been ex-
tremely rude to the young man. even
after the affair was settled, and would
not permit him to be invited to a
meal in his house. Abby's choice,
which speaks more for her wit than
her devoutness, was:
John came, neither eating
bread nor drinking wine; and ye say,
he hath a devil"

Long time ago. the fork.tailed martin
used to build their gourd.like nests
under the caves Of the council house.
And that was very convenient place.
too-both for the martins, who liked
to live close to the people, and for the
little Indian boys, who liked to watch
the birds swooping and flashing in the
air.
Sometimes one OF the boys who was
not satisfied with watching the birds
In the aE would climb to the caves
and bring down one Of the nests. And
If he waited until after the young mar.
tins had gone away, 1t was all right.
Then one Of the old men would tell
the boys why the martins nest was
like a gourd.
It happened at the time Of the first
ball game between the birds and the
four-footed animals.
On one side, the Great Bear was the
captain of the players. and for the
birds the Great Eagle was leader; and
for many days before the game the
big animals went about the earth say.
ing what good ball players they were.
But the Great Eagle told the birds that
they must not boast; and 1t was be.
cause they did not boast that the little
bat and the tiny flying squirrel Joined
the birds and helped to win the game.
Well. the game was played in a
smooth meadow beside the river, and
1t began early in the morning, when
the dew was fresh and sparkling on
the grass. Out in the center Of the
meadow stood the Great Beaver ready
TO toss the ball. He looked toward the
Great Bear and asked il he was ready,
and the Great Bear said:
The game may as well begin" The
Great Bear spoke in q sort Of tired
way, as If it was really no use to go on,
but he supposed that the birds would
not be satisfied until the animals
showed them how much better they
were. And then the Great Beaver
asked the Great Eagle II the birds were
ready.
we have just seen the edge Of the
sun coming over the tree-tops," said
the Great Eagle, and we are ready to

RAILS and Designs, but Something
There Must Be.

Somewhere on the bodice now there
must be q bow.
It may be q tiny affair set In the
back OF the wired. standing collar or
frill of lace which finishes the neck.
It may be u soft, graceful butterfly
bow posed at the front OF the surpliced
bodice, ostensibly holding the fronts
together and hiding a practical snap
button fastening beneath.
Il may be an enormous bat'wlng
bow measuring half yard from tip
to tin. set at the back, between the
shoulders.
Sometimes these big bows are
dropped to the hips. just below the
waist line at the back.
They may even be dropped lower
holding up a pun skirt drapery in bus
tie effect.
But a bow-or several bows-the
costume must boast II it is to be up

heads together and have come to the
conclusion that 1t is not right for q
single girl, even an adopted daughter,

COMING FUR FASHIONS
NEW MODES HAVE ALREADY
BEEN DEcREED.
Handsome Novelties viii BE Ready
With the Advent Of Chilly Weather
Fitch VIII BE a. Popular
40 Last Season.

The new modes In furs are already
decided. No matter whether crino-
lines or hoops distend our skirts In
the widest circumference which We
are able to navigate, or whether waist
lines become wasp-like or bag-like,
fashions in furs are definitely con-
cluded. That is, those for early au-
tumn wear are already in the mar
ket.
Small neckpieces OF marten and
lynx, together with smartly designed
fancies In ermine and white coney, are
to be greatly demanded.
Huge bushy brushes will be sole or.
naments with large animal heads con-
cealing the clasps.
Broad stoles OF seal or muskrat are
to be worn, but the pelerine styles In
fitch and coney, marten and dyed coon
will be very high style.
The waist-reaching rippled capes. so
fashionably correct when the grand
mothers OF today made their maidenly
debuts, will again assume fashionable
Importance.
The reincarnatlon OF old fur styles
will be signally modernized by the ad.
dition OF vestees and waistcoats OF fur
in contrasting pelts. No prettier idea
has been in fur vogues for many sea-
son than these capped vestee styles,
which allow so much variation OF the
modes without departing from the In
trinsic idea of the design.
Imagine fitch cape not so full that
1t ripples at the waist line, but is con-
trolled in clever fashion by being in
visibly fastened to an under vest OF
girdle.styled outlines made OF seal.
With a melon nun OF the fitch
trimmed with sealskin rosettes. and
with a black seal bow Of tailored d.
mansions decorating the oval-shaped
cape at the back and in front,
charming combination OF fur pelts Is
accomplished.
The prevailing fads for furs will in
clude fitch, as was done last season;
also muskrat, chinchilla. otter and
beaver and monkey fur.

Picking Timber.

Timber experts have discovered that
timbers thoroughly soaked in the
brine of the great Salt Lake Of Utah
are very slow to decay. Piling which
was driven into the bed Of the lake
over forty years ago is still in perfect
condition because the timber is thor
oughly impregnated with salt. 1t has
been suggested that timbers may be
soaked in the waters Of the lake and
then be thoroughly covered with creo-
sote to keep In the salt and keep out
the moisture. Sea water does not
have the same preservative influence
on timber because II is not nearly so
salty as that OF the Salt Lake.-The

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
WOMEN ILLOGICAL?
BY ELMER PHILLIPS.

Doctor Syntax was not more than
forty, though he seemed bowed be-
meath the weight Of his reconcile In
vestigations. He was seated at his
library table, looking out across tho
quiet village street toward the campus.
Inside the halls Of those magnificent
Gothic buildings which he could just
see from his library he had taught for
Is years.
When Aloysius Benton, his friend
and colleague, died, ten years BEFORE
leaving his twelve-year-old daughter
to Doctor Syntax, It was the most nat
ural thing In the world that the kindly
old doctor should take the child into
his household. After old Janet died,
Milly quite naturally became the doc
tors housekeeper.
And now certain persons had whis-
pered that 1t was not proper for an
unmarried man, even q professor, to
live alone in the house with the girl.
With Milly! Why, she ruled him
with an iron hand, cased In velvet
though It was! Did q north wind blow,
his peace Of mind was not worth q
moments purchase unless he put on
his comforter to step across the
campus. He was sent to bed even In
the midst OF the most abstruse prob
lens, when eleven o'clock arrived, and
he had lecture on the following day.
Nevertheless, life without Milly seemed
an impossible, hopeless thing.
Doctor Syntax had been in love
when he was a young man. The OBJ
feet OF his devotion had married an
other; but, though he had long ceased
to think OF her, the memory OF that
first love had chung around him like
radiant cloud, softening his spirit and
fitting 1t for high idealism. Sometimes
the thought OF Milly had, OF late. unac-
countably revived that memory. The
professor did not at first understand
why.
But when the ultimatum went forth
that society considered Milly ought to
be relegated to another sphere, the
professor had q ridiculous dream. 1t
was absurd. to hope that Milly, the
belle Of the little town and
he an old fogy of forty! But he con-
tinued to dream 1t. Even a professor
of mathematics has the right to dream.
At any rate, he must tell Milly. And
he did so, when he met her in the

How Loeb Awe Was Formed.

Highland tradition gives a quaint
explanation of the creation Of Loeb
Awe, that noble mirror Of the noun
tains in the magnificent scenery Of
Argyllshire, Scotland. The bed of the
loch was once, It Is said, a fertile val
ley, with a fairy spring, which had al
ways to be kept covered. bubbling
from the mountain side. A careless
girl, however, having drawn water.
forgot to recover the well. All through
the night the spring flowed and by
the morning Loeb Awe had come into
being.
No one need regret the carelessness
Of that Highland lassie. Loeb Awe is
now one Of the most exquisite of beau
ty spots in Great Britain-a charming
sheet Of water, studded with pretty
islands, while around the shores are
many places associated with interest
ing legends and historic incidents Of
the Highlands.
