adopted children made orphans by
her sisters death, later an indefatigable
organizer of the Farmers Grange, and
finally member of the State legislature,
Agnes L. Riddle, deep-chested and big
armed, stalwart and CHEEKY is the most
universally respected woman in Colorado.
Mrs. Riddles philosophy of govern

This is she on her farm, an hours ride

Riddle, "because what you've told him
not to do is still In has mind. You can't
kill off evil, drive it out, unless you have
something better to offer right away.
That's the trouble with the fight against
the miners saloon"
When Mrs. Riddle was elected State
secretary of the Farmers Grange there
were five hundred members and fourteen
organizations. Farmers are hard class
to organize, but Mrs. Riddle sometimes
ran behind a neighbor, as he went with
the plow, to talk organization; and at

"Our Grange" says
Mrs. Riddle, "has

big clocks than on the small ones?"
an inquisitive person is sure to ask Bob,
when he comes down after completing
his task.
NO." he always answers; "the minute
hand goes around once in an hour and
the hour hand once in twelve"
Bob has never had a serious accident
in the manicure business, but he was al
most killed once. He was working on the
hands of the clock of the Mission of the
Immaculate Virgin, in New York, when
he slipped and fell backward. He made
desperate grab for the tackle rope, and
held on, though his fingers were almost
jerked from their sockets.

Then, "Are these

you talk about them
as you do?" she burst
out. "Don't you know
that they are Denver

"You say they even
come to the doors of
your churches" Her
words were now barbed
with scorn. "That's'
where they ought to be.
If the churches can't
take them in, the
churches ought to go
out of business.

And no one voted.
