Yellow Hem"
Yes said Black Hen, 'but every
body is picking at him Just because
he is newcomer.
''The new rooster cannot crow as
loudly as White Rooster" said
Speckled Hen the next morning. did
you notice the sun this morning? He
did not show his face for long time
after the new rooster crowed"
well, for one thing, he is just
splendid" said Black Hen; ''he makes
everybody stand around; and do not
blame him l think the old hens are
very rude to him.
Just then there was a great cluck
ing and confusion among the hens
and hawk was seen just over them
but as it came near brood of chick
ems the new rooster quick as a flash
flew at him.
Whether the suddenness of the at.
tack surprised the hawk so much that
he forgot to swoop a chicken in his
flight, or whether he was really fright

er was hero in minute He walked
away as though nothing had hap

he did not look at one of them.
Somebody must tell him." said
Black Hen, 1--WE never had such pro

So Speckled Hen stepped up to the
new rooster.
I'VE wish to thank you," she said
"for saving the chickens, and we are
glad to have among us rooster who
is so brave" The new rooster
stretched his neck and held his head
very high.

the chickens gazed after him with ad

MORAL TONIC FOR THE BOYS
Game-Directs Surplus Energy
into Right Channel.

Arthur Macdonald, a well-known
scientist of Washington, said the other
day:
Il consider baseball one of the great
est moral tonics for boys and young
men that exists 1t directs the sur
plus physical energy of youth into the
right channel, for otherwise this
energy might be employed In wrong
ways which are detrimental to moral
and physical life. Baseball is one of
those fundamental educational forces
of prevention whose power and utility
are not realized until it is taken away.
"Our national and manly game has
SO permeated the mind and nervous
system of the boys and young men
that there are very few who could not
pass better examination on baseball
than on any of the studies in school"
This being perfectly true there is
no chance for the game to die out,
no matter how much it may be abused
by grasping and thoughtless magnates
and players. There are some people
who see a permanent lessening of in
terest in the national sport on account
Of the activities of the Federal league.
which has caused some lack of conf
dence in the professional end of the
game. But there are plenty of signs
that this disgust is only temporary
Crowds are thronging back to the
parks as 1t becomes evident that major
league ball is being conducted strict
ly on the level and for the interest OF
the spectators.

A Telephone Quirk.

Did you ever notice that If you place
the transmitter of the telephone
against your chest, instead Of before
your mouth, it makes no apparent diff
ference to your auditor? If you are
talking over a desk instrument, it is
often easier to hold it against the
chest than to the mouth. Simply hold
the transmitter to your chest and
talk into the open air. The entire
chest wall vibrates in unison with the
voice and will transmit the sound vi
brations over the telephone as well as
your voice.-The American Boy.

REWARD OF DISHONESTY

Once upon d time" began
the teacher, two little BROTH
ers started to Sunday school
one Sunday morning. Their
way led past a fine orchard
where the trees were bending
down with ripe, luscious apples.
One of the brothers proposed
going into the orchard and get
ting some fruit, but the other
refused and sped away, leaving
his companion greedily devour-
ing the apples.
Now, it happened that the
owner of the orchard saw them,
and the next day rewarded the
good boy who refused to steal
his apples by giving him shil-
ling. He got prize for his hon
esty. and what do you suppose

New Petticoats.

The phases of the new petticoats
are many. We have princess slips of
the shoulders with straps of ribbon
and deliberately trimmed about the
hem with wide flounces of lace, plait-
ed organizes, chiffon or net, caught
here and there with bouquets of deli
cately tinted French flowers. They
measure from four to six yards about
the hem, and sometimes little 1845

President Kelley of the Colorado State
Normal, and Geo. Hetherington, local
member of the board of State Normal
Trustees, went to Denver this wee k
to attend meeting of the board.
The quarterly meeting for the purpose
of outlining the business of the institu-
tions at Greeley and Gunnison and ap-
proving the plans of the school heads,
has usually been held in Greeley. but the
notice from President kepner this time
calls for meeting in Denver Friday at
the Office of the superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and at Greeley Saturday.
Evidently the growing Importance and
dignity of the State Normal At Gunni-
son demands special session to con-
slider its affairs, while the meeting at
Greeley will probably handle troubles
of the State Teachers College only. and
President Kelley does not expect to at
tend that meeting.

During the week, considerable work
has been done on the rocky part of the
scenic road up Normal Heights and the
first stretch is now in very good condi-
tion. Plans are still being considered
to carry it on the Stewards peak, for
it seems too bad not to complete the job.
A list of contributors to date appear.
on another page, which however should
have included the excellent work done
by W. A. GiIlaspey, who has spent a
great deal of time in engineering the
road and pushing it over the hardest
part of the distance.
A striking feature winch just appears
is the interest other Colorado communi-
ties are taking in the road.
Not only is the story Of Gunmson' s pro-
gressiveness widely quoted from the
News-Champion but every town which
has hill nearby is planning to adopt
the idea, even though none of them
have the scenic possibilities or the easy
construction of our road.
Salida, Leadville and Buena Vista.
especially are adopting the scheme At
Salida the plan is to build a circular
auto road up fenderfoot hill, just back
of the station. This viii cost thousand
dollars, according to first estimates, and
nearly $500 is already subscribed.
Says the Mail, ''Salida is determined
that it will not fail where Canon City,
Leadville, Gunnison. Buena Vista and
other neighboring cities have succeeded.
Tenderfoot is Saida's best advertise
ment. 1t can be seen from all trains
approaching and leaving the city in
every direction. The road can be con-
structed for 81, 900 up grade of only
seven per cent according to engineers
who have been giving the subject their

on the question Resolved that the
United States Army Should be Mater

Misses Bode. Schoolfeld and Edwards
