western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-By an order issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. the
Union Pacific railroad is permitted to
close the Colorado gateways for gen
eral traffic between exclusive points
In the Northwest and east OF the Mis-
souri, river. An order to restore routes
and privileges previously in existence
on fruit and lumber has been ordered.
The order prohibits shippers in Mis-
souri, sending shipments to points In
the northwest On the Union Pacific
lines on the Burlington or other roads
for delivery to the Union Pacific in
Denver. 1t also prevents shipments
by the Denver 4 Rio Grande for de.
livery to the Union Pacific at Ogden.
Utah. All shipments destined for
points In the Northwest ON the lines
of the Union Pacific must be delivered
to that road at Kansas City or Omaha.
The rule applies to both eastern and
western shipments.
An attempt by the Union Pacific to
close the Colorado gateway more than
year ago was prevented by the Inter
Ctate Commerce Commission, pending
decision. A similar attempt by the
Missouri Pacific to close the gateway
to all roads other than the Rio Grande
was also stopped.

THE HA1R-BRUsH oF MnADY.

Luxurtant. glossy hair is great addition to one's good looks, so take great care of it. One way of keeping it in good health is to own . brush that fills your hair needs. Don't buy a brush just because the clerk wants you to Examine it's bristles thorough ly before you buy, remembering all ways that they must not be stiff and hard but soft and moderately flexible, and that it will be an advantage to vo,lr hair if they are lceaEse and cut in different lengths. The size and shape Of the brush is purely a ques- tion Of taste, although one would not care for a brush with a. heavy back and handles, as then hair brushing would cease to be a pleasure
 It is Of the utmost importance that the hair brush should be kept inl1na- culately clean This is q task that 9 great many women neglect, as. appar- ent1y. they never stop to think that the nristIes can grow dusty and grir1y and altogether unfit for use on the hair.
 There can be no set time for giving your hair brush a. cleansing bath. as some days the hair Is dustier than others and consequently the brush grows gri1ny rapidly. think it will suffice to say that 1t should be washed whenever it shows the slightest sign of soil
 Always. before cleansing your brush. comb out any hairs that may have be- come wound around the bristles. After this task is completed. dalnpen the brfstless then pour in Q quantity Of liquid green soap and rub the brfstles brlskIy with your fIngerttps, occasion ally dipping the brush in hot water.

HOW TINY was FOOLED.

 Once upon a time Tiny, the field mouse said to one of his cousins: I can beat you running.''
 The other mouse did Hot think that he could and said: CT will give you a sweet ear of corn if you can beat me
 They started at the door of the old barn and were to run to the field and back. Tiny got to the field first and looked around and saw that his cous- in was not anywhere near the field
 Tiny said: "I have plenty of time to stop and eat some of this nice corn before I start to run back So he stopped and ate and ate. The other mouse had just reached the field and started running back as fast as he could toward the. barn. Tiny was so busy eating the corn that he didn't see the mouse come up to the held or see him turn and run back.
 So he kept on eating the corn At last he stopped. looked up and saw the mouse ahead of him, but he laughed and said: t'Oh, can catck him without trying.''

 What Is more beautiful than the white, unsullied page of a young girls $ heart? To be her friend is an honor, to be her lover is one Of the most sa- cred privileges the gods can bestow. The fact that he has become nearer and dearer than a friend is proof that he gas gained her confidence, her trust and is the custodian of her hopes. Men of honor realize the re- sponsib bility The fate Of the girl is safe under their protection
 There is another kind of man who has one set of morals for his sisters and his own women k1nfoIlzs and quite another for the innocent girl who has given him her affection. If she be young, and conf1ding. yielding to his caress for love of him, he is bound soon to weary of her artlessnesss and longs to make conquest of q heart harder to win.

These are the young women who can be trusted any l where, at any time, to make a too bold wooer know his place. A man may dub them prudes, but it is the i4gir1 of this kind a man wants for a wife.

Raspberry Cakes.

A delicious baked dessert calls for one pint of red raspberries. Sprinkle with a little powdered sugar and when they have stood for an hour drain off cup of juice. Now make a batter with two tabIespoonfuls of butter, one half cupful of granulated sugar, the berry juice, one and one-half cup fuls of -four, into which has been sift- ed one teaspoonful of baking DOW der, and the beaten whites of two eggs Bake in muffin tins and serve with crushed raspberry sauce.
 Make the sauce this way from the raspberries left from the juice: Add one cupfuI of water and boil for five minutes. Beat the yokes of two eggs very light, and add a scant cup of su- gar, strain the boiling juice over the egg mixture and stir in a double boiler until the sauce is as thick as cream.

 We built a small house and yard be side the other chicken house and here we conffne the hens. Place oyster shells, clean water and two or three kinds of feed in the ward The house contains only roosts with no nesting material, writes Mrs. J, A. Johnson in Farm and Home.
 The hens stay in the yard all day seeing the other chickens run around and here they have exercise, plenty o1 feed, fresh air and something to di- vert their attention.

Mayonnaise.

Then pour the mixture over the salad. Lemon juice may be used instead of vinegar. if preferred, and half a cup of whipped cream may be added, but the combination of cream and vinegar is not always easily digested. Some persons like to make mayonnaise by adding the oil to the eggs drop by drop, but this is a tedious and labor ious process, and the sauce is just as good when made in the speedy way described.
