VIII try to furnish labor for distressed
workers. The members of the COM
mittee are F. J. Radford. president of
the Trinidad Chamber of Commerce;
H. J. Alexander Of Denver, and Albert
A. Reed, an attorney. of Boulder.
The subject Of furnishing work for
unemployed men is one which the
governor has had under consideration
ever since he took office Several
weeks ago he conferred with a num-
Der of wealthy men about it. Later,
he discussed the subject with w. l..

Rockefeller foundation and formerly
Of the Canadian labor bureau.
He announced his appointment Of
the committee in letter TO President
Radford of the Trinidad chamber
Radford is to be chairman Of the COM
mittee. In his communication Cover
nor Carlson recites that there is dis
tress through unemployment in all
parts OF the country, that the state
Highway Commission has outlined
comprehensive system of road build
ing and that these highways pass
through or are within convenient dis
tance of the places where unemploy-
ment is congested."
After expressing regret that the
half-mill levy for roads voted by the
people will not be in effect until next
year, he announces that the high ;.y
commission will apportion the i'm
provement fund so that it can be used
at once for road construction.
The suggestion that donations may
be made to further the road work and
give work to the unemployed is made
in his letter.
He declares that certain citizens and
organizations are interested in the
completion of particular portions of
scenic highways and he understands
that other citizens and organizations
have indicated an intention to cooper
ate with the state in the same work,
but primarily to provide immediate
employment for distressed workers."
The committee is to confer with all
such individuals or organizations as
to ways and means of providing en-
ployment and administering any re-
lief funds" 1t will seek ito focus
construction upon such places as will
best carry out the purposes of the
Lonors"

Old Easter Customs,

An ancient custom that flourished in
England was to run after the girls and
women in the streets and take the
buckles from their shoes. These might
be redeemed on Easter Monday for a
sixpence.
The practice of heaving. also asso,
ciated with Easter in the olden times,
seem to have died out. A man reclin.
ing in his easy chair would suddenly
be surrounded by women, who, as they
heaved him, chair and all, demanded
kiss in return.

BABY IS ONLY WITNESS
CHILD OF THREE SEES MOTHER
SHOOT MAN DEAD.
Mrs. Sophia Morrone of Brighton Do.
clares She Killed Simon G. Mil
ler In Seif.Defen3e.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Brighton, Colo.-The three-year-old
son Of Mrs. Sophie Morrone was the
only witness to the shooting of Simon
G. Miller, 35 years old, by Mrs. Nor
rome.
Miller. who lives on a farm west Of
East Lake. was instantly killed by
Mrs. Morrone when the latter fired at
him through the door of her house.
The baby was the chief witness at
the coroner's inquest of the tragedy
which occurred at the Morrone home
a mile and a half north of Globeville.
Both Miller and the woman are
married. Mrs. Morrone was alone at
the time except for her youngest
child. her elder children being away at
school and her husband being away at
work.
According to her story, Miller
stopped and demanded pay for ashes
which he had hauled eight years ago.
She refused and backed into the house.
She asserts that he tried to follow her
in, but that she slammed the door,
grabbed single--barreled shotgun and
fired into his head through the glass
in the door.
Afterward, she went along the road
short distance to where Frank and
Joe Cavalero of Denver were working
in field. and they notified the coro-
ner and sheriff's office.
Coroner Jones and Deputy Fergu-
son brought the body and the woman
to Brighton. At the inquest it may
be shown whether Miller was under
the influence of liquor. He had walked
to the Morrone house. a quarter OF a
mile across a nursery, leaving his
horse and buggy in the road In the
buggy was keg of beer which he was
carrying home from Denver.
Neighbors and friends quickly gath
cred at the Center home and vigorous.
ly protested when Under Sheriff Fer
guson announced that he was going to
take her to Brighton. They insisted
that she had done perfectly right in
shooting Miller.

Three Sentenced for Postal Theft.

Denver.-Albert Pagel, Oliver How
ard and Samuel F. Mortimore pleaded
guilty to robbing the postoffice at
Walsenburg of $4,000 last December.
They were members of troop F, Fifth
United States cavalry. Federal Judge
r. E. Lewis sentenced Howard to
three and one-half years in the pen
itentiary and Pagel and Mortimore to
two and one-half years each. The sen.
fencing of the three soldiers and the
not guilty verdict of the jury in the
case of three other soldiers, Max Dor
ski, Fl ,ncis V. Rudd and Theodore
Frank, dlsposes of the postoffice rob-
berry cases. but does not clear up the
mystery of the missing $500. The
government officers have not been
able to find trace of this sum, which
was hidden some place in the camp
the night of the theft. The balance
of the $4,000 was recovered.

of Easter.

trHRISTOS ANESTI'-"Christ is

stantinople that you hear on all sides,
accompanied by the exchange of the
traditional kiss. "Paskalia Foulia"-

everywhere to the festive throng in
the narrow streets. In the butcher
shops you see the passover lambs
with gilded feet and the choice pieces

The variety of types and costumes
seen in this throng where the West

the Christians of the Levant are there:
Bulgarians in embroidered jackets;
Greeks from the mountains, sporting
the fustanella, the kilt which resem-
bles the dancers skirt; burly men
from the Adriatic, Levantines, Ar.

fashions, genuine and otherwise. and
of course, host of French. Germans,
Italians, Austrians, Russians, English
and Americans.
In the Balkans, Austria, Germany

countless Easter customs that were
apparently of very ancient heather
origin quite unrelated to the feast Of
the resurrection.
The many nationalities of Austria
Hungary afford a particularly wide
field in this respect, since the princi.
pal ones, Germans, Slavs, Magyars,
have come to occupy the country in
the Christian era with all their GUS

WHEN THE LILIES BLOW.

1t may be a fable sweetly told
or the rocky tomb that could not hold
The Son of God in its sealed space
With a Roman guard to watch the place.
Perhaps poor Mary, who wept all night.
Did not go forth with the morning light
And cry aloud In her quick dismay-
Behold, they have taken my Lord away!"

And the spirit did never the pen inspire
But something uplifts the soul. I know.

Elaborate professions and ceremo-
malls make holy week in Jerusalem
gorgeous event, where the intimate
note of the resurrection is not conspic-
uous. Especially does it bring out the
division of Christendom, so strikingly
shown in the way in which Latins,
Greeks, Armenians and Copts share
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Though the census of 1896 gives the
"muteessarifik" of Jerusalem $4,000
Latins and only 10000 Greeks, the
visitor is apt to be impressed with the
religious predominance Of the latter.
Particularly at Easter the marvellous
services of the Greek orthodox church
convey the priority of these ceremo-
nies; none, perhaps, is more impress
sive than that of the washing of feet.

On that day a platform is erected in
the court of the church, which is occu-

taries. Court stairs. inches and every
corner Is crowded by the faithful to
witness the enactment of the scene
when Jesus washed the feet of his
disciples. The parts of Jesus, John,
Peter and Judas are each given to an
ecclesiastic, and are read with fine
simplicity, though the story is told
with certain freedom from Gospel
text. q
At the end the patriarch washes the
feet of the twelve clerics and, repeat
ing Jesus words, Let us go, for he

signal to arise, and they all withdraw
