minutes, IL wish | had wings!"

OF HIGH CHARACTER
Good Manners Recommend, Prepare
and Draw People Toeether-Make
Fortune of Ambitious Youth.

We are told much of utilities, but
it's our manners that associate us. In
hours of business we go to him who
knows, or has, or does this or that
which we want, and we do not let our
taste or feeling stand in the way. But,
this activity over, we return to the
indolent state, and wish for those we
can be at ease with; those who will
go where we go, whose manners do
not offend us, whose social tone chimes
ours. When we reflect upon their per-
suasive and cheerful force; how they
recommend, prepare and draw people
together; how, in all clubs, manners
make the members; how manners
make the fortune of the ambitious
youth; that, for the most part, he
marries manners; when we think what
keys they are, and to what secrets;
what high lessons and inspiring tokens
of character they convey, and what

Grafton of the highway, and those who
have made the trip over the first
twelve miles marvel at the easy

1t is 81 miles from Colorado Springs

in length from the point where it runs
into the Pixies Peak ocean-to-ocean
highway in Ute pass, at an elevation
of 7,415 feet, so that its total rise is
6,746 feet. The average grade is six
degrees with maximum of ten de-

ARAeELLA

Arabella was beautiful wax doll.
in her day, and was given the best
of care by her mother who was very
fond of her, and when the mother
was too old to play with dolls she
wrapped Arabella in soft cloth and
put her in a drawer, where she re.
manned for many years.
Then one day she took her out. and
Arabella heard her say to little girl
who stood beside her:
This was my best doll when was
a little girl. Now l am going to give
her to you. Her name is Arabella, and
you must be very careful of her, for
she is wax and cannot be dropped
without breaking. as your other dolls"
But. mother" the little girl said,
cant she be mended If break herr"
No. said her mother, ''it will
spoil poor Arabella if you drop her,
as her head is very soft"
Arabella was very carefully handled
for few days. She was put in
pretty carriage and wheeled about;
then she was undressed at night and
put into a nice little bed, and she
had new dress and stylish bon
net, and number of little girls came
to see her Her new mother told them
that Arabella was very old and that

ices are installed, insuring communi-
cation along the entire trip.
The highway will be open to any
motor car, and automobile men
claim that any good driver will be
able to make the trip.
Undoubtedly the Pixies Peak high
way takes its place as the greatest
and highest in the world. Stelvio
pass, the highest carriage road in Eu-
rope, in the Alps between Italy and
Austria. has never been opened to the
automobile.
While there were many difficulties
the construction of this highway was
not a hard task for the modern engi-
neer. For part of the way from Cas-
cade it follows the general line of the
old carriage road built in 1888.
Scenery Is UnexceIIed.
Every mile of the highway to the
summit is crowded with scenic inter-
est. From Colorado Springs the
route goes through beautiful Manitou
and then into Ute pass, 30-mile cleft
in the mountain down which the Ute
Indians used to come to Manitou
to drink of the mineral waters there.
Amid a profusion of wild flowers,
through groves of pines and asp5ns,
the highway proceeds. Often, as the
motor climbs, it will be enveloped in
f1eecy cloud. Higher and higher the
car climbs, but the grade is so easy
that one does not realize that he is at
the summit until he can see the world
| about him, east, west, north and south.

It is full of wise observation OF child
life. In the following extract, Alice,

her small son Robert does not want
his sister Sarah as playmate.
Her sense of justice made Alice
feel that Robert should let Sarah into
his out-of-door games. She had the
DRY that little boys and girls play the
same games if they are brought up
naturally together. For the most part
Sarah shared this opinion of her moth

shared it vociferously. Robert diff

don't she play? She always gets hurt
with the least thing and comes home

ITO this Alice responded: It's her
feelings that get hurt I"
I don't care what part Of her gets

it gets hurt-and she yells, and the
boys say to me: "Oh, gee! Here

Poor ArabeIIa's Face Was Changed.

was little girl. But Arabella laughed
to herself. She did not feel old, and
she knew if her mother gave her
good care she would always look
young and feel young.
There came day. however, when
her new mother became tired of her,
and she was left all day without be-
ing dressed, and sometimes she would
have to lie in bed for days at
time with her eyes closed. At other
times she would be left in her car
riage all night, and there she would
sit, staring into the darkness, ana
she would wish her new mother would
put her to bed so she could close her
eyes.
One night Arabella was left in her
carriage on the piazza all night.
"Oh, dear!" thought Arabella. Il
will freeze out here in the night air."
And a big dog came up to her car
riage and shifted at her.
"Oh. dear! oh, dear!" she cried.
what will do? l am so afraid"
Then the dog licked her cheek and
took off some of the red. Poor Ara
bella almost tainted, but she sat quite
still and looked straight ahead, and
the dog walked away.
Arabella was glad when the day.
light came, but the sun came also,
and her new mother did not move her
carriage, for she was busy making
mud pies on the shady side of the
house. BY and by the sun crept up
to Arabellas carriage and then to her
feet, and finally all over her.
"Oh, dear" thought Arabella, will
no one save me? | shall melt.

was very busy with her cooking.
AT lunch time the new mother ran
around to the front of the house to
meet her father, and then she saw
Arabella, and such an Arabella you
never saw. Her new mother looked
at her, ard ran into the house for
her mother to come quick ard see
what had happened to Arabella. Poor
Arabella's face was changed, indeed;
the wax had melted and run down her
| cheeks; she looked old and sad.

But can't her face be put in shape

A century ago Lieut.. ZeDulOn
A Montgomery Pike discovered
the mountain which now
bears his name, and, accompanied
by his little band, made a de-
termined effort to reach its summit.
1t cost him ten days of marching to
reach its base, and after a laborious
ascent which brought him only to the
crest of one of the nearby mountains,
he was forced to give up the attempt,
predicting in his diary that no human
would ever scale its rocky heights.
Thirteen years later, however, DR.. Ed
win James with portion of the ex-
ploration parry under Maj S. H. Long,
found an easier approach from the
climb reached the summit on July IA,
1919.
Then came the United States gov
eminent engineers who constructed a
winding trail from Manitou to the top
of the great mountain and built there
an experimental station that study
might be made of weather conditions
three miles above sea level. This
led to the building ora carriage road
from Cascade in Ute pass to the top
of the mountain; and almost stimuli
taneously there came the cog railroad.
1t was built in 1890, making the ascent
in nine miles from it's Manitou depot.
This is one of the most famous of the
worlds mountain railroads.
And now in 1915 comes the supreme
conquest of the mighty peak. The con-
structiye ability OF the American en-
gineer has won another triumph, for
since September 1, automobiles have
been travelling on the Worlds High
est Highway" to a point within five
miles of the pinnacle of the mountain;
