penver.-Congressman Edward T.
Taylor pointed out to the House of
Representatives how Colorado boys
have been making good at Annap-
oils Naval Academy. He said:
Il had the pleasure of visiting the
United States Naval Academy at Ann.
apolis and attending the graduating
exercises Of the class of 1914.
THAT class started four years ago
with 251 members and graduated only
154. There were three Colorado boys
In the class, and all three OF them were
within the ten honor graduates of the
class.
"Midshipman Edward Ellsberg, Of
Denver graduated with the highest
honors and was the first one to be pre-
sented with his diploma by President
Woodrow Wilson. Young Ellsberg not
only graduated at the head of the
class of 1914, but he led his class dur
ing the entire four years course and
was the honor man at the end Of each
year. In addition to the distinction OF
making the highest record in scholar
ship during the entire four years. he
won several very highly priced med
ais. He won the splendid silver cup
annually donated by the Daughters of
the American Revolution for the one
In each graduating class who attains
the highest proficiency in seamanship
and international law. He also won
the honorary prize Of a navigating sex
tant presented annually by Col. r. M.
Thompson, OF the class of '6S, for the
highest proficiency in navigation. Also
a medal for fencing, another for the
championship In dueling, and two or
three others for the best English es.
say work.
Another boy, Midshipman Freder-
lex e. Pelton of Denver stood fourth
in the class one year. fifth another.
sixth another. and graduated eighth In
the class.
II am supremely proud to say to the
House that those two Colorado boys
were my first appointments to Annap.
oils. They were the two highest in
competitive examination which I held
during my first term in Congress.
"The other Colorado boy that grad.
uated with honors was Abraham Mar
ron, also OF Denver. appointed by the
late Senator Charles ]. Hughes, Jr.
His standing was ninth in the class.
believe am safe in saying that no
state In this union has ever eQualed
this record. It speaks well for our
school system and is an inspiration to
the youth OF our state. Colorado is
proud OF these boys. and they are en-
titled to this mention and this record,
because the course at that academy is
most awfully hard work.
by reason OF their rank. Midship.
man Ellsberg was allowed to select
his ship, and he chose the new battle
ship Texas. while. understand,
young Pelton and Marion chose the
battleship Maryland, to which they
will be assigned.
This is the first time In the history
of our state that Colorado has carried
off the highest honors at Annapolis.
Some twenty-five years ago Gen. Iry-
ing Hale from Colorado was the honor
man at West Point, and he has been
credit to our state ever since: and
am confident that these three Colo.
RADIO boys will likewise during the fu.
ture years be an honor to our country.

Travesty on Real Faistaff.

Yarmouth has claim upon all Eng
lishmen quite independently of it's as
sociations with the breakfast bloater,
remarks a writer in ST. Nicholas. For
it was the home of Shakespeare's Fal-
staff, who appears to have been a man
of exemplary piety. The Falstaffs
were an old Yarmouth family.
"a Falstolfe or Faistaff," writes
John Richard Green, was bailiff of
Yarmouth in 1881. Another is among
the first of it's representatives in par
lament, and from that the members
of that family filled the highest mu-
nicipal offices. John Falstolfe, a man
of considerable account in the town,
purchased lands at the close of the
fourteenth century in Castor, and be-
came the father of Sir John Falstolfe,
who, after a distinguished military ca
reer, was luckless enough to give his
name to Shakespeare's famous char
acter, In Yarmouth, however, he was
better known as a benefactor to the
great church of ST. Nicholas.

CATTLE DISEASE EXPENSIVE
State Veterinarian Estimates Expense

$4,000.

Madison-With twenty-one herds
in Wisconsin wiped out by the foot
and mouth disease, the epizootic is
now under control, according to State
Veterinarian O. H. Eliason. All affect
ed herds have been killed, with the
exception of one near Delavan, just
discovered. In this herd there are
twenty-five cattle and they will be
killed Immediately. Only three cases
have been brought to the attention OF
the authorities in the last seven days
and Dr. Eliason believes the snow and
cold weather will tend to check the
disease. The twenty-one heIds in Wis
consin contained from dozen to sixty
head each, and DR.. Eliason estimates
the value Of the animals slaughtered
at $4,000.
The disease existed in these coun-
ties: Dane, Brown, Langlade, Lincoln,
Rock, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha,
Walworth, Jefferson and Green.

THE NEW YEARS EVE FATES
How Curious Maidens Can Find Out
What Is in Store for Them
An italian Custom.

Every maiden wonders what the fu-
ture has in store for her, and this is
what she must do on New Years day
to learn her fate:
Turn the pillow at midnight, the
31st of December, and you will
dream of the man you are to marry.
Or let her take her hymn book to her
bedroom, blow out the lamp, open the
book and mark hymn Tin the dark +,
put it under the pillow and sleep on
it. Next morning when she reads the
hymn she will find it's text will indi-
cate the event of the year.
On New Years eve the Italian maid
en- places in one corner of her bed
a third ashes and in fourth ring.
Upon waking in the morning, if she
sees the ring first she will be married
that year; if she sees the water first
the year will be unlucky; if the
thimble, fortune vail smile on her;
if the ashes, she will die.
On New Years eve, If maiden
wishes to know her fate during the
coming year, she must go into the
open air with psalm book in one
hand and a piece of silvex in her
mouth. She must allow the book to
fall open, and if it opens at the death
psalm she will die; if it opens at the
bridal psalm she will marry, and what
ever else it opens to will indicate her
fate.
On New Years eve, while the clock
is striking twelve, repeat three times:
Good st. Anne, good st. Anne,
Send me man as fast as you can
Aud you will be engaged in a year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR CUSTOMS
Celebrations Of the Mummers in Clcen

On Friday, January 1, the mummers
will mum-that's their way of ush-

them know the beginning of the Gus
tom-or the ending 1t began in
nocently enough, but by the seventh
century it amounted to "diabolical
paganism," outrageous, blasphemous.
Ruftians robbed and even murdered
under the pretense of merrymaking
Not all was frightful, however. In
Rome slaves were waited upon by
their masters and the poor reaped
veritable harvests, which was but nat
ural, since it all came from the sat
urnalia of the Eternal City.
In England the mummers performed
plays, spoke dialogues and imperson-
ated famous people, especially kings
and warriors. Songs were sung both
by the mummers and their entertain
ers. Here is one:
To shorten winters sadness
See where the folks with gladriess
Disguised all are a-cOming
Right wantonly a-mumming.
In those days they loved, too, to
masquerade as animals, bears and
unicorns being especially favored dis
guises. SCOTS couplet summed it
up:

the chaste Henry VIII made it a mis-

1t was George Washington who
made the day what it once was in
this country. Said he: Never forget
the cheerful and cordial observance of
New Years day" The celebration
grew and grew, until a generation or
so ago, the scenes enacted at some
receptions were simply disgraceful, So
ciety having progressed some since it
was good form to imbibe until the i'm
. biber quietly slid under the table.
Of late years there has been a tend
ency to revive visiting on the first
informal, and every hostess knows
each and every one of her guests,
which was not always the case when
it was the fashion to have as many
as possible and any man counted one
An amusing story is told Of one host
ess who, in lull, left the line and
went over to the punch bowl in the
back parlor, saying to q man she
didn't know: What is your name? [
don't think know you" He told her
She didn't remember it, SO she asked
him with who1S he had come. He
said he had come by himself, where
upon she ordered him out. Imagine
her chagrin the next day upon receiv-
ing from this man letter she had
written to a relative in a neighboring
city asking that he visit there when
lever he should be in the city. Also
to be reminded by him that he had
sent his letter of introduction and re-
ceived cards, which he also inclosed.
Ia the holiday rush she had simply
forgotten the new name.
