1HERE is no doubt that some chill
dren are much brighter" than
others. And, of course, the
brighter children are easier to
teach than are the others. But many
bright child absorbs the teachings
offered him and develops a character
that is very far from satisfactory,
while among the less gifted" children
are evolved useful and lOvable spirits
that amply compensate for the rela-
lively feeble intellects. This is all
common knowledge; yet we continue
to be puzzled about it without making
any effort to clear up our understand
ing. Or we continue to think and to
intellect We're of itself sufficient to in
sure suitable training of the character.
The fact is that while knowledge
may be converted into power it is in
itself very far from being a substitute
for wisdom. And still more remote Is
1t from character. We know that chill
dren can learn knowledge; the impor-
tant question for us is, can they ac-
Quire character?
Wnen we compare an INFANT WltH an
older child and with an adult we may
see that the lack of Character" on the
part of the infant means that the child
has not yet developed fixed habits in
regard to certain things, whereas the
older person has. You do not know
just what the child will do under given
circumstances, while you do know
what the grown-up will do. 1t Is the
mass of habits that make up the foun-
dation of the character which the child
acquires.
Habits of courteous speech, for ex-
ample may be mere imi mitatiOns of other
peoples speech, and very different
from what the child would use If neg
lected in this regard. Yet as 1t be-
comes habit it constitutes distinc-
tive part of the persons character. 1t
Is through the little tricks Of Difference
and pOliteness that a child learns re-
spect, and 1t is from this that he de-
velops an appreciation for the quail
ties that we wish him to look up to.

What happens when the accepted
tune of national anthem is changed
even with considerable care is revealed
by this from Tom Daly's column In
the Philadelphia Evening Ledger: "As
the opener of the exercises at the con-
vention of the National Association Of
Credit Men in Pittsburgh the words
of America were sung to the new
music arranged for them. When the
applause had dwindled away, the presi-
dent arose and said: 4 feel that our

Shipments of liquor into
Colorado are increasing. Last May
1891 shipments came into the state
while only 1S,15S were registered with
the secretary of state in April. Not
withstanding this increase the proper
ton of increase has fallen off by COM
parison with other months since pro-
hib;tion went into effect.
With all this amount of liquor be-
ing shipped into the state, two coun-
ties stand out as lilly white" in obey
ing to the very letter of the prohibi-
ton law, Baca county and Rib Blanco
are the two which have not received
one shipment of liquor since January,
according to the state records. And
it is sure that not drop of the for
bidden has come into these counties
because the system of checking would
reveal it.
Denver received 6,S74 shipments OF
liquor during May. Pueblo was next
with 1,721 and Las Animas falls into
line right behind with a total of 1,170.
Ell Paso is next and is followed by
Weld county which received S37 ship.

The state received as its share, of
the fees for registering shipments of
liquor, $S,137 during the first five
months of prohibition. In this time
5,100 packages were received.

Sharp Major of First Battalion.

Governor Carlson, Adjutant General
Gamble and all of the national guard
officers attached to the staff head
quarters at the Golden Rifle range
were much depressed by dispatch
received from Washington refusing
permission to Lieut.. Joseph A. Rogers
to accept commission as captain of
Battery A. the artillery unit from the
State Agricultural College at Fort
Collins. The gloom at headquarters
was considerably lessened, however,
by reason of the fact that the War
Department had seen fit to confirm
and approve the appointment of Lieut.
William f. Sharp of the regular army,
as major of the First battalion field
artillery of the Colorado National
Guard. Lieutenant Rogers, who is also
regular army officer, was attached
to the State Agricultural College at
Fort Collins as military instructor,
and Battery A is the product of hi,,
unaided and jealous efforts. He has
brought the battery to a state of ef-
ficiency worthy of the regular army
and has won the affection and admir-
alton of his student soldiers.

Governor Opposes Beer Amendment

An attack on the proposed constitu-

facture and direct sale of beer in
Colorado was made by Governor Carl.
son, speaking at farmers picnic at
Fort Collins. The proposed amend
ment would declare beer a nonintov
icating liquor within the meaning Of
the Colorado dry law. In his attack
on the measure the governor charged
this to be misuse of the truth. Beer,
he argued, is an intoxicant. Every
body, he said, who has had anything
to do with beer knows this. Instead
of modifying any of the provisions Of
the prohibition law the governor de-
clared himself in favor of making GER
tains parts of 1t more drastic, as the
result OF experiences which have

stroying the appearance of broadness
consists in using either a straight hip
roof construction or combination of
the hip and gable types, with the hip
type predominating. Occasionally fiat
roof dormers are used in connection
with the hip roof to produce the same
result. The effect is altogether pleas
ing TO the eye, and the several adyan-
tages of the more generous storage
space which is provided in the attic
have recommended 1t in great many
cases. Aside from this fact, If the
space is not used for storage it still
serves very good purpose in provid-
ing an insulating layer of air which
will keep the lower floor cool in the
hottest weather
An attractive little bungalow of SIM
pie construction is shown here as an
example of the possibility of utilizing
the hip-roof construction. The roof of
this pleasant little home is almost
purely of this type. the only addition
being the small projecting dormer.
and also provides the means of admit
ting light to the upper floor. An ar
t!stic touch is given the main roof by
breaking the slope just above the
caves and carrying the last few feet
down at a new slope. Several inter-
esting details are included in the de-
sign of this little cottage.

of the living room with the dining
room.
The door from the porch opens into
an entry which has Il small closet for
wraps. On the other side of the entry
is a eased opening leading to the liy-
ing room. The view from this entry,
of the fireplace, the broad seat and
colonnade and the wide opening be
tween the two rooms is very striking.
An attractive feature of the dining
room is the four window-bay with the
seat built entirely across it. The
kitchen is entered through swinging
door and is handily arranged to facili-
tate the preparation and serving of
meals Near the door to the dining
room is cupboard built above
shelf Into which the sink is set. An
other cupboard fills nook iii the cen
trail wall of the building and is also
very handy to the dining-room door
The stove is intended to be placed
against the rear wall of the kitchen,
where very short length of pipe will
connect it with the chimney. The
rear porch is built right into the house
and furnishes a handy kitchen annex.
The refrigerator may be placed on this
porch, where it is iced without caus-
ing the iceman to take many steps into
the house.
Along the other side of the house
are the two bedrooms with the
bath between. The bedroom closets
are unusually large. A small hall
makes all of the rooms in this part of
the house independent The base
ment is entered from this hall ana the
attic Is reached through the kitchen.
The basement is of sufficient size to be
very useful Sufficient headroom is
provided so that heating plant OF any
desired type may be installed. The
space is divided into rooms which will
greatly increase the total value of the
basement. Home owners are finding
increasing usefulness in the construc-
ton of coldstorage room in the
easements of the houses. This is
easily done and il furnishes an excel
lent place to keep fruit and vegeta-
bles This room should, of course, be
placed as far as possible from the

tjse Of Masks in PRINTING.

Nearly all black-and-white photo
graphs that are not to be mounted on
white cards are most pleasing when
finished with white margins. White
margins are obtained by printing the
negative through the opening of Opaque
paper. This mask is placed oV"r the
negative in the printing frame and the
negative so adjusted that the part we
wish to print from will show through
the opening in the mask. AS the open
ing in the mask can be made of any
size and shape desired, up to the full
size of the negative, we can print from
the whole or any part of a negative
and as those parts of the negative
that are covered by the mask cannot
print, they will be white after the
print has been developed. BY this
method we can make prints having
white margins of any width we prefer.

pass on To the junk man. As rule,
this lack of storage space is caused by
the fact that the usual bungalow is
built with very fiat gable roof set as
low as possible to produce the effect
of broadness and to destroy the APP
pearance of height This effort is
made necessary in order that the fun
damental idea of the bungalow may be
expressed in the design. Bungalows
are not supposed to be high. They are,
in the pure type, single-story buildings,
and since this feature is their inner
ent mark of distinction the contrast is
carried still farther by placing roof
on them which will emphasize their
fairness.
In fact, the roof is of prime impor-
lance in bungalow. for it is in the
roof that the greatest effect may be
obtained in adjusting the appearance
of the structure to meet the demand
for something distinctive or something
new. As a rule, when the appearance
of the house is the governing factor,
the roof will be given such form that
very little storage space is possible /;
but. if necessary, there is no reason
why the designer cannot produce a
structure Of the distinct bungalow type
and still shape the roof in such man.
