The Idaho Springs base ball
association will give a dance in
the opera house Friday even ing,

raise money to pay the deficit

of much regret the receipts during

get good games and thus furnish
and entertainment for
the people. 1t is hoped that this
ball will be patronized sufficiently

Manly into the higher life is an
event deserving of more than or
dinary notice.
Having taught ir the public
schools of Colorado for more than
thirty years, she has been, III an
unusually broad sense, factor in
the lives OF many of our Young
people.
Miss Manly was bora in Vt 1887
but spent most of her early life
and received her education in N.
Y. n the normal schools of Pots
dam and Oswego. She came to
Colorado in 1881 and began her
work i'll the 'all of that year in
Georgetown. Later she was in
the schcois of Idaho Springs and
then came to Denver where she
has continuously taught i'll the
schools of the city until within a
week OF her death.
In her early womanhood size
took upon herself the daty, and,
to her, the pleasure and privilege
helping the young men who came
ID touch with her life to prepare
themselves Tor the highest and
best uses of which they were ca
pable.
Nearly all of her earnings were
generously and lovingly given to
start some OF these young men in
professional life, help 10 pay their
college expenses, urge them for
ward when discouraged, and to
find openings for them when study
days were over. Lawyers, doc
tors, ministers and successful busi-
ness men, in remarkable numb bers
rise up tc day to gratefully ac-
knowlege what they owe to her.
AS woman of abiding religious
faith, she had the help and CO.
operation If several of the leading
pastors of Denver in carrying out
her plans for help and usefulness.
1t she had faults they were large
those arising from forgetfulness.
Gifted by nature with rare quail
tiles Of mind and heart, she has
circle Of loving friends, who,
in missing her, will be glad TO
know that anticipating this ''in-
evltable hour" she left few years
ago, written message in which
she speaks of her life as being
happy in her friends and work,
though somewhat lonely and adds:
do net grieve for me, We only
gone home.
A sudden attack of Pneumonia
caused her death at Park Avenue
hospital, and her beautiful life
passed out with the old year, Her
last days were lovingly and ten
derly cared for by several of these
young men whose lives she had
blessed.
Beautiful and impressive SER
vices were held at her late hon
followed by public funeral at
Plymouth Congregational church,
conducted at her request by DIR.
Frank L. Bayley, her pastor.
Masses of rare and beautiful flow
ers, sent by many loving friends,
cover ed her casket and their fra
GRANGE seemed an emanation from
her life.
In accordance with her special
request, the body was cremated at
Riverside cemetery.

Masonic Temple when he slipped d
and fell to the ground landing on
his right side. A large cash was
cut above his rigt temple that re-
ou;red a mum Der of stitches to be
made in order to hold the injury
in place. He also suffered from
having his right ear badly cut that
also needed some stitches to keep
it inplace. He fell nearly rs feet
and barely escaped striking on a
pile Of old iron, in which event
the injuries would have been more
aggravated and serious. He is
very fortunate in getting along as

poultry lots of sunshine, and at the
same time the nesting boxes are placed
SO that they are well shaded. The
roof Is constructed on the saw-tooth
principle, which insures plenty of sur
shine on the roosts and the back part
of the scratching floor. Dampness is
a dangerous condition to poultry, and
this is effectually prevented by hav.
ing plenty of sunshine in the back
part Of the house.
The foundation of this building
should be of concrete, as that is the
best kind of insurance against rats,
who often have the idea that a chick
en- house will make an ideal home for
them. The connections OF the sills
to the foundation should be carefully
made, so as to eliminate all drafts.
Chickens stand the cold of winter very
we'll, but a slight draft in their houses
will often prove fatal. The walls OF
the building must be also constructed
so that no stray breezes can blow in
on the egg producers. The studding
ls covered carefully on the outside
with building paper, and over this is
placed drop siding. On the inside the
walls can be handled in various ways.

selle, a former resident OF Quebec, now
of New York, at the Shoreham. Il
spent some weeks in Quebec recently,
and was impressed by the great i'm.
provemeEt. The city has lost none of
its quaint characteristics nor discarded
the mantle CT medievalism that has
singled it out from among other
cities, but, combining IN perfect har-
mony the new era with the old, she
has become a mighty center of COM
nerce as well as city of antiquity,
. link between the Canada now and
the new France Of yesterday.
Quebec is becoming annually a
more important port Of trade. To its
docks come the largest ships in the
st. Lawrence service. and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that when the
government transcontinental system is
in full operation and the Quebec bridge
has been officially opened, it will re-
ceive tremendous Industrial impetus.
Within so miles OF Quebec are, the
largest deposits of asbestos In the
world, while the value of the timber
in its surrounding forests is incalcu.
liable. Twenty miles east Of Quebec
is the famous pilgrimage shrine La
Bonne Ste Anne, where miraculous
cures are said to be effected. This ia.
nous place still attracts thousands OF
pilgrims every year"
