If it is wicked for women to tango
Maurice Dekobta, of Paris, France, is
a great reformer; he has thought up
a scheme which will make a woman
as soon think Of walking into pest
house filled with smallpox patients
as to dance the tango. Maurice says
that for the woman who tangoes he
guarantees two complete sets of deer
wrinkles below the eyes, double SET
Of wrinkles under the neck, quick
development of double, and some.

Civic education may accomplish
something, but it will not cure the
cancer that has been eating the heart
out of Denver for many years. The
exploiting of the so-called beast by
little Benny and the jumping on every
vested interest by some newspapers
has driven capital out of Denver and
kept other millions from entering.
When the business interests unite and
rise up in the air might and put -
quietus on the agitators there will
be some hopes for the growth of the
beautiful plains city. Durango knows
what knocking newspapers can accom-
plish in causing strife and keeping
away capital. When we stop to con-
slider what Durango has put up with
we are surprised that we have as
good city as we have. But for the
Beast and Jungle tactics Durango
would be twice its size at the present
moment.

A NEW PHASE OF DRESS RE
FORM.

Woman can sympathize with wo-
man, as woman once asserted. New
York's new commissioner. of correc-
ton is woman and she has been ex
pending some sympathy on the poo.
creatures of Blackwells Island.
She thinks, after her first tour OF
inspection, that her sisters are given
too short time to reform inland
the wrong kind Of clothes. She pre-
fers period of probation to a mere
week or ten days Of confinement, and
she believes that reform may com,
more promptly in tasteful ginghams
than in striped bed ticking, says the
Record Herald Hereafter, then, ging-
hams in wide variety of colors and
patterns, instead of everybody look
ing just alike; also, the skirts cut a
little nearer the current fashion-not
hobbled, indeed, but still not horrible
striped balloons. Thus may self-re-
spect enter and hope raise her head.
OF course. We all respond to dress
and its influences. If you want peo-
pie to reform give them clothes that
make reform possible. If stripes are
bad for men, they are worse for wo-
men. Dress has dragged many wo-
man down, When down, let her have
clothes that will help her TO rise
again-or at least not hinder.

Two enterprising Florida cities are
first to announce regular aeroplane
interurban service. Understand, it
is announced that the service will be
regular, probably in the same sense
that a man boasts of going to church
regularly once a year And it will
have other drawbacks; it may, for
example, start regularly, without ar
riving that way in which event pas
sengers and baggage are likely to get
wet, as the route lies along an airy
runway over bay. But if it can run,
or when it can run, it should be pro
fitable. Among the many kinds Of
people are those who would rather
pay five dollars for an uncomfortable
and unsafe journey on the airline than
four bits to go in safety by boats. On
such as these the airline must long
depend for profit, and such worries
as come to railroad companies will
not be based on aerial competition.

damaged crops very badly. We are glad

three miles from this place at the old
Young homestead in the Fork. He had
long since reached the age limit of three
score and ten years, having passed the
8Sth mile-post in life's journey. He spent
sixty-three 1851 of these years at his rural
home, then bought, moved to and settled
upon a very nice home and was living
there when the end came. During the
years spent among this people he was
highly respected by all. He was almost a
lifelong member of the Methodist Church
and attended closely to all his Christian
duties-a jealous Christian in heart and
life-and when the end was approaching
he had no preparation to make. Even as
a boy, he was always READY, and now no
doubt is reaping his reward.
