big tent colony at San Rafael heights.

Ludlow colony went. Saturday surren-
dered ~ arms OF all character to the
Federal army officers. Among the lot
were some with broken stocks. burst
barrels. broken hammers. and many
small-caliber guns and pistols.
The military officers were disap-
pointed by the manner In which
Colonel Lockett's proclamation of dis
armament was obeyed and determined
to give the strikers. mine operators
and citizens one more chance to sur.
render their arms voluntarily.
All told. there were 725 arms re.
ceived by the federal commander Sat.
urday in the Trinidad district. To
this number the dealers In arms and
ammunition contributed largely. and
citizens surrendered many hunting
guns and small.caliber arms. Very
few weapons which the army officers
considered truly serviceable were re-
ceived.

COSTLY TO THE TAXPAYERS
European Monarchs Draw Immense
Sums From the Treasures Of
Their Respective Countries.

The allowance Of the royal family
of England is agreed upon by parlia-
ment and is known as tile '|civil list. :"
The latest published figures for the
annual allotment to the royal family
are 100000 to the king and queen
and their household and bounty, and
100000 to other members of the
royal family, such as Queen Alex
andra and the royal princesses. A
pound is about $4.S6.
The kaiser of Germany receives
no allowance as such, or any income
from the treasury of the empire. He
has his private revenues, and those
granted him by the Kingdom of
Prussia as its king, and his only
subsidy" is the small annual grant
known as the disposition fund"
The allowance for the expenses of
the imperial house of Russia in 1912
was 16,359, sos rubles. A ruble is
about fifty cents. The royal expenses

German Comic Paper Ridicules the

The small esteem in which, before

held the military machinery of Rus

tract from a German comic paper
published, by the way, when the war
was actually ten days old. The Rus
sian minister of marine, it was said,
had discovered that manufacturers in
Finland were delivering large guam
titles of cardboard to the government
works. He promptly sent for the
head Of one of the imperial ship
yards. SIS it your PLAN" he said to
that functionary, 'to make The armor
plate of our new battleships of card
board?"

don," answered the official with
dignity, "but that was some time
ago. Nowadays the orders are to
make the armor plate of reaLiron."
"Why, then, all this cardboard
from Finland?" quoth the minister.
"That," was the reply, ''is for the
army You would not have our SOL
diers run around all the time bare

METHODIST

We were pleased to note the
increase in attendance at the
Sunday School on last Sunday
Our Epworth League has taxi
en- on new life as the church was
we'll filled on Sunday evening for
the opening of the service. This
renewed activity is partly due TO
the service beginning at 7 O'Clock
as it gives the people plenty OF
time to get to the service. We
are very proud of the League as
it is composed of as fine body OF
young people as could be found
in any community.
We dismissed our prayer meet
ing on Wednesday on account OF
the special meetings at the Pres
byterian church. We recon-
mend to our people that there
ought to be complete unity be-
tween the different churches in
the town. We not only recon-
mend it but we practice it. If
there is thought of unity of the
churches, if we did not recon-
mend it, we are the first to fall in
line with it, and we do not have
to consider it for a few days.
We are always ready.
We are pleased to see so many
mothers in our congregation with
their babies with them. This
not only insures good congre-
CATION now, but it tells us that
we will have congregation in
the next generation. We well
come the mothers and the babies.
1t is a pleasure to note the in
terest that is taken by our peo-
pie in the relief Of the starving
people in the war zone of Europe.
Jesus sold as oft as ye do II unto
the least and ingiving the cup of
cold water and the bread to the
hungry etc. We believe in a
christianity that gives aid to the
sufferers of the present time.
This is the church that gives
you the welcome that makes you
want to come again. We have
choir of IS voices and there IS
always special music if you love
music come out and worship
