WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. T.
Secretary Garrison announced that
he had ordered the commanders of
the federal troops in Colorado to buy

Last night the town presented n
r-to-be-forgotten scene. From
the Strater to the middle of the
eleven hundred block the streets were
massed with people Everywhere
there was something doing. The
night was transformed into day and
fun and frolic roigned .uprene until
the midnieht hours. The carnival
company attractions drew immense
crowds. The street vendors had the
best of patronage. Down in the Gra-
den block terpsichorean devotees had
their inning. The space on the west
side of the street was set aside for
! dancing and excellent music was fur
nished. The cement walk was sprin-
lSled with corn meal and proved n
very satisfactory floor. George Moody
acted as master of ceremonies. So
ciety folk set the pace, and the tango
and other modern dances held in high
favor had part on the program.
Everybody enjoyed it except those
who could not see or who tried to
make their way across the enclosure
sacred to the dancing arts and inter
fered with the merrymakers. These
were trod under foot.

ness and everybody stayed down town

HOME WORK CREDITS
IN GRANITE SCHOOLS
Pupils Favor New Plan and Achieve
Good Results in House
keeping.

The Granite school district has adopt
ed a plan which gives the school chll"
drcn credit for home work. A certain
per cent is given for each min
ute Of home work, according to the
kind of work done. Some of the cred
its are based upon the following work:
Rising before clock IN the morn
ing. retiring at Il reasonable hour, ac~
cording to the Crude, building fires, pre-
pairing fuel, helping to wash, helping
prepare another for school, brush
ing teeth, washing or drying dishes,
setting or clearing the table, cooking,
chores and other forms of home work:
The six students having the largest
percentage Of work have their names
published and the time which they are
engaged This encourages the children
TO such an extent that they are buslly
employed in order to get more time
and credits. All the schools in the
district have made favorable reports to
Superintendent Skidmore Of the dis,
trict.
Truancy of the pupil deprives him Of
all home credits and sickness is the
only excuse which is accepted, Twenty
per cent is deducted for each time tar
d., 90 per cent for being untidy and
90 per cent for lack Of good deport-
ment All work must be done with a
good will and cheerfully.
