Conventions Delegates Express Hope
In Our Future.

Denver-The fourth annual con.
vention of the Investment Bankers
Association adjourned with feeling
among the delegates in regard to
Denver, Colorado and the West that
they had never had before. There
were many expressions from former
officers and delegates on this subject.
Retiring President A. B. Leach. in
a speech at the closing banquet, said:
I'VE shall go back to our homes,
we shall go back to other cahons
builded by the hand of man-those
cafions which we daily toll in on La
Sale street, and Wall street. and
States street; we shall see again the
mighty whirl of a nations commerce,
treading it's way in that busy hive. but,
gentlemen, we shall never see there
the glorious sunshine, the wonderful
hopefulness that must come into
every one when he sees and feels the
sunshine and feels the wind and the
daylight that we have today
I'VE shall go back with fuller ap
probation of why Western men al
ways look at things in a broad, great
way; we shall go back with the
knowledge of why Western men are
always hopeful: we shall go back with
a stronger confidence that whatever
may be the do;ngs. whatever may be
the prospects. whatever may be the
purposes of the great West-we shall
have a stronger confidence because
those projects shall be carried for
ward by men who live in this-God's
country.
Eve shall go back and have learend

the novelists have tried to say-that

SUMNER VACATION FOR GIRLS
Time Hanging Heavily on Her Hands
May 0s Probably Spent In Many
Interesting Ways.

(Mona v. Lace. Colorado Experiment
Station.)
Every young girl looks forward to .
summer of rest, but after the first few
weeks Of vacation are over she begins
to find time hanging heavily on her
hands. There are many interesting
ways in which this time may be profit
ably spent. Here are = few things
some girls are doing: Collecting art
copies and writing q short history of
each; collecting authors photographs
and learning their life histories. and
prominent books they nave written;
making = scrapbook and forming . his
tory with cartoons from the leading
magazines; making scrapbooks with
pictures from magazines for little chill
dren in the winter. II any girl IL 70
fortunate as to have access to N at
tic full OF old magazines she may
make an interesting collection OF pic
lures of women and dating each,
which will show the extremely varied
and rapid style-changes OF years. Some
girls are busy on their fair work. max
ing jellies or canning fruits and label
ing them attractively. Others are
busy with fancy work.
These hints will probably suggest
others to anyone interested, and every
girl who will try some means OF pass
ing her summer will find she has q
feeling OF satisfaction when schooi

So one day Jerome, with his moth.
er and Fritzie. sailed away on big
ship, the same as Melissa had, for the
big country called America. But there
~as no smiling face awaiting them
as there had been for Melissa. and
Jerome and his mother were able t.

that when they landed in America
they had to show all their money, and
had 1t not been for kind-hearted
man, who met his wife and children,
who were on the ship with jerome
and his mother, they would have
peen sent back to Germany. New
York was much larger place than
they had supposed, and they did not
find Melissa and Eustace. Their little
stock OF money grew smaller, and one
morning, when jerome started out
looking for his sister and also for
work, he said to his mother: Il think
I will take Fritzie with me: perhaps
can get q few pennies for his
tricks"
They wandered along through the
thickly settled streets until they came
to group of children IN front OF
store. Jerome put Fritzie through his
tricks, and the children laughed and
danced around Fritzie. who was hap
pier than he had been since he land

denly he broke through the crowd and
ran INTO the store barking. jerome
followed as quickly as he could, and
there was Melissa with Fritzie in ner
arms, crying and hugging him, and
in an instant jerome was Delng
hugged until he scarcely could
breathe.
Then Eustace came and went for
the mother. and you never saw such
happy people. And Fritzie danced
around him, and was patted and
praised, Tor had he not been the
one to first see Melissa and bring the
family together again! And after all
the excitement was over, Melissa told
them how Eustace had been very ill
and was taken to the hospital, and
she mad written to them and waited

gone to America. should send the

that tho next time he wrote the let

lissa to come to him. and now In the
little cottage, where Melissa and Je-
rome lived with their mother great
preparations we're being made for the

for jerome and his mother, and they
would be able to support themselves
when Melissa had gone. for Jersme

tried in all the ways that dog can
to show his sympathy. and when the
tears kept on falling. he tried to win
his smiles by doing all the tricks that
Jerome had taught him. and they
were many.
By and by . letter came from Me

A PROGRESSIVE DISEASE.

Families that serve wine at meals
are doing the greatest injustice to
their children, for instead of allowing
them to drink anything but nonintoxi-
eating drinks they are starting that
progressive disease that may end in
their ultimate death or disgrace. To
see beautiful young girl drink a
cocktail or even a glass Of sherry
offends health aristocrats. for they
know that poison is contained in every
drop. The misfortune OF all poison
taking lies not only in the always ad-
vancing appetite but in the Away
