One Of the Many Efforts to str.iohten Out Poland.

to themselves business and industries
and worked their propaganda.
In 1878 the election of Augustus III
to the Polish throne was accomplished
by open bribery and under thesguard Of
Russian, soldiers.
Poland Stirred to War.
But Poland did not die without q
struggle. Kosciusko, who had served
under Washington during the Amert-
can revolution, returned to the native
country, inspired the spirit OF pa
triotism into his fellow Poles and
stirred all Poland into war against her
oppressors. The Poles fought brave
ly and defeated the Russians in the
fierce battle of Dubienka. But now
a Prussian army entered Poland,
Kosciusko was defeated and Poland
overrun. The Austrian troops had
Joined with the armies of Russia and
Prussia and the three powers, In the
face Of, the protests Of the western
powers and the outbursts Of indigna-
ton from all upright men, proceeded
to a third partition which gave to
Prussia $4,000 square miles Of ter
ritory with 100000 Inhabitants, to
Russia $4,000 square miles with g.
10000 inhabitants; Austria had been
slow and got nothing this time. A
general rising Of the Poles followed
and again the leader was Kosciusko.
Hordes of Russian and German soldiers
were poured into Poland and at length,
on October 10, at the battle of Macie-
jowice, Kosciusko was defeated and
taken prisoner, and Freedom shrek

Campbell. The victorious Austrians,
Russians and Prussians now proceed
ed to finish their work by taking Po-
land off the map altogether. OF what
they had not stolen before they pro-
ceeded to portion out to themselves
the remnants Of the kingdom was as
follows: Russia, $4,000 square miles
with 100000 inhabitants p; Prussia, o.
600 square miles with 100000 inhabi-
tants. Austria had taken part in this
last subjugation of Kusciusko and got
$4,000 square miles with 100000 in
habitants. The deal begun at the sign
ing Of the treaty of st. Petersburg on
August 5, 1772, vas completed. Po-
land ceased to exist. AS full Of crimes
as history is it contains no record Of
such another cold-blooded crime by civ
flized and Christian powers as the an

Poland, having been taken off the
map by a treaty, is now to be put
back again by another treaty. In the
latter part of the fourteenth century
Poland was the dominant power in east
erng Europe. Her dominion extended
from the Baltic to the Dnieper and
pressed down upon Austria to the
south, while Red Russia, White Rus
STA, Black Russia and the Ukraine
were hers. Prussia was a little state
huddled up in q corner on the Baltic,
and surrounded on the other sides by
Poland. Courland and Livonia were
Polish provinces. The Prussians or
Borussians, were an idolatrous tribe
who INDUCED in human sacrifices and
Poland called in the Teutonic knights
to subdue them. t. ~.
The Teutonic knights subdued the
Borussians, but they turned Prussia
into a militant little state which be-
gan at once wars to increase its ter
ritory. A Hohenzollern had himself
elected head of the Teutonic knights
and thus began the house Of Hohen-
z%ollern, and that power destined to
have such a large share in the down
fall Of Poland and to be such a mem
c to the world. sprung from a race
Of savages led by an adventurer.
AS late as 1868, when the American
colonies were already settled common
wealths, Poland was so powerful that
her king, John Sobieski, marching with
a. Polish army, relieved the siege Of
Vienna and saved Europe from being
overrun by the Turk.
Dynasty Came to an End.
With the death of Sigismund Angus
tus in 1872, the dynasty Of the old
kings came to an end and Poland
adopted a system of elective kings, and
a new constitution which worked out
badly and contributed to the downfall
Of the nation. The Polish diet elected
the king. 1t consisted Of a chamber
Of peers and a house of representa-
tives of the lesser mobiles. The diet
sat only six weeks each year and it's
decisions were obliged to be unani-
nous to be effective. Also there was
a recognized right of any mobiles con
federating together to enforce their
will by the power of arms. Naturally
the result was discord and sometimes
civil war. Russia, the growing .Prus-
STA and Austria fostered these internal
disagreements with hungry looks on
Polish territory.
A large number Of Germans found

were at war with Spain for a year
lacking n few days, although actual mil
itary operations did not last many
days over three months.
The principal events Of the Spanish
American var most people remember.
War was declared by Spain on April
"a and by the United States on April
25. There was a curious little exhi-
bition Of "Castilian pride" about that.
Spain learned on April "a that the
United States was going to declare wal
the next day and promptly declared it
herself. Another interesting point is
that the United States began the
blockade of a part only of the Cuban
coast at first and began it two days
before Spain declared war and three
days before we declared It. And the
American proclamation Of war was
made retroactive to April p. Dewey

su.AaE FROM oTHER
FORAGE PLANTS

Besides corn, excellent silage is
sometimes made from alfalfa, clover,
oats and peas, rye, sorghum, kaffir-
corn, millet and milo maize. While
corn is the principal crop for silage, it
is often found advisable to make silage
from other plants, especially during
drouth seasons, when excellent sor-
ghum and kaffir-corn can be grown as
catsh up. The first cutting of alfal-
ia hay during wet season is often
lost. This could be put in the silo and
saved, and by feeding out during the
summer months, the silo can be refilled
in the fall with corn and bathroom.
During recent years we have noted
steady increase in the price of hay,
in fact all forage has commanded a
very high price, and it is necessary
for the stock keeper to produce q for
age at less money than hay, If he
wishes to realize a good profit on his
stock. In this capacity the silo comes
as great boon.-R. W. Clark, Colo,

|LEADvI1IE CONTAINS
OF POOR SERVICE

At the present time Leadville is re-
ceiving what is probably the poorest
mail service which has ever been ac-
corded this city. Due to the elimina-
ton Of the stub trains which formerly
ran between Leadville and Malta to
make connections with Denver and Rio
Grande passenger trains Nos. and 4,
and carried passengers and mail to and
from Leadville for those trains, Lead
vile is now obtaining service from but
four Denver and Rio Grande traius.
The elimination of the stub service to
the early morning trains passing
through Malta makes it necessary for
Leadville mail to lie at Malta until
westbound No. Is picks it up and
throws it of here at $50 in the morn
ing. This means that the early mail
is delayed in reaching Leadville for
over two hours, and if No. Is is de-
layed any place between Denver and
Malta local residents must simply
await the arrival Of that train before
getting their mail from eastern points.
There has been no alteration I'M the
schedule of trains arriving and depart,
ing from Deadville. In the evening,
westbound No. l arriving here at 6:55,
No. 16 departing for the east at 9:l0.
Some mail is brought to the city on
the Colorado and Southern passenger
train, but the bulk of Leadville mail
from the east is carried over the Denver
and Rio Grande. The evening mail
service consequently is as good as ever,
but the delay necessitated by the
elimination Of the stubs to the morning
trains has caused general complaint
from local people.
Grand Junction and Glenwood
Springs are also complaining of the
mail service which is being accorded
them but they are protesting against
the absence of mail clerks on the ira ms
rather than against a lack of railroad
service. Both Of these cities are on
the main line, and consequently all the
passenger trains pass through, while
Leadville, being on a branch route, has
been accustomed to depend on the stub
service.
The Chamber o. Commerce of Glen
wood Springs, Grand Junction and this
city are making arrangements to pro.
test against this lack Of service, and
an attempt will be made to secure the
re establishment Of the stub service to
and from Leadville.- Herald.

FOUGHT THE FLOWING BOWL
ere Long Ago Lifted Their Voices
Against Drunkenness.

Temperance movements and prohibit

temperance lines are attributed to the
priests Of India and Persia. But the
Chinese claim that in the eleventh cen

NEW SYSTEM m rH1 SCHOOLS

NEW SYSTEM m THE SCHOOLS
A nsw system to aid in tho promo
ton of personal hygiene has been
launched in the grade school. Tho
system was devised by the Red Cross
and is founded on the old plan Of
ehivalry.
A crusade h to be waeed against i'll
health and all ailments. Those who
engage in this crusade are called "The
Modern Health Crusader" The
"Crusader" performs certain tssars
each day. These are called "Heslth
Chores" And as he proves hinself
worthy in the discharge Of these daily
tasks, like the youth under the Fudal
system, he advances from grade to
grade and rank to rank, always win
ming his advance by the proper dis
charge Of his duties.
At the onset, the pupils are enrolled
in the "Health Crusade" A card
containing spaces for the registration
Of eleven "Health Chores" per day is
provided and sent home to be kept by
the parents. At the end of the day,
the mother checks the items: Has tho
CRUSADER" washed his face! Has he
brushed his teethi Has he played in
the open air 80 minutes or more during
the dayf Was his room properly ven
tilated during the night Etc. If he
has performed all these chores he Is
given an x or point for each. He
may thus earn ten or eleven points
each day and maximum of 70 psr
week. But if he fails to get the ~
he still passes from rank to rank
on a total Of 81 points per week. At
the end Of two weeks, if he has made
his marks he is made a page through
appropriate ceremony and is given as
a reward a certificate of enrolment.
Three weeks later, or at the end of
five weeks from the beginning of the
crusade" the pupil becomes
esquire" and receives a fitting re-
ward amid appropriate ceremonies.
Five weeks later he becomes a
knight and five weeks from that
time, or Is weeks from the time Of
starting, he is designated as a
Knight Banneret' and there re-
ceives the highest title and supreme
honor which the school con confer upon
"Modern Health Crusader" While
the pupils will be frequently reminded
of their Health Chores' in the school,
the whole plan, nevertheless, depends
on the cooperation of the home.
The basic idea is that the teaching
of hygiene has failed to instill in the
pupils good health habits and prac-
tees. The "health chores" plan pro-
poses to secure action and actual prac-
tice of the rules Of health SO often dis
cussed and urged in school. The belief
is, that is a child can continue proper
health practices for q period Of Is
weeks, certain helpful habits will be
fastened upon him, which when prop
erly followed up by the home and the
school, will become part Of his store
of good habits.
The "health chores is but branch
of the program Of physical upbuilding
undertaken by the school this yeas.
Other phases Of the movement are the
playground work, the gymnasium
classes, and the inspection of the chill
dren by the physicians, and the activi
ties Of the Red Cross nurse, Miss Sim
mons, who is just starting her work
