Mentality of OctoPi.

"There is great deal Of difference
in the mental attitude of devil fishes
,r octopi," says Charles f. Holden in
st. Nicholas. 'In a tank in the Ava
lon aquarium, which contains three or
four octopi, Ill but one 'ere timid.
One attacked my hand, and seemed
to enjoy being touched. A large Cali
fornia sheepshead in this aquarium
became so tame that it liked to be
scratched about the head with wire
)r stick, and followed people about the
tank, especially the man who fed 1t.
# was Interesting to see it change
color as the man stroked 1t with
the wire"

GOOD NEWS OF GIBRALTAR OIL
COMPANY.

E. A. Bromley, president OF the
above company, was an eyewitness to
the shooting of an oil well in the Chel-
sea oil fields on November 9Th, and
the impression made on him was sat
isfying as to the success that will at

been fortunate to throw in their lot
with this company. Each day brings
new faces, the roads being covered
with a number of autos, mule teams,
etc, busy in the development and pro-
duction of this industry which is prom
Using a new Klondyke of the United
States. All information as to invest
ment in this company and its perma-

easily approachable ana who is to be
found in the Colorado building, Six
teenth and California, fifth floor.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The meeting of the Zion Baptist
church last Sunday afternoon was one
of the most interesting held for some
time A fairly good number were
present Mrs. Baker of the Red Cross,
Mrs. Isabelle Stewart and Mrs. Jones
were present. Mrs. Baker delivered
a most splendid address on the nature
of the war. Mrs. Stewart spoke of
the work of the colored women of the
city, and mentioned the fact that they
intend sending an ambulance to
France. Secretary Bell related in de-
tail his visit to Camp Funston with
the drafted men of Colorado.
The general membership campaign
which had been set for Monday, the
18th, has been postponed for more
favorable date. 1t is quite likely,
however, that the workers will be
held together for some form of work
at the present time, and a general
mobilization, will be had at another
time.
The mems meeting next Sunday
afternoon will be held at the building
as usual. There will be good speak
ing and good music. All men will be
welcome.

HELP THE MASONS MAKE
CHEERFUL CHRISTMAS FOR

AS this is our country's first Christ

that we will turn to service rather

generally will be turned to the battle

Therefore, it is to be expected that
we at this time will be in a frame of
