Actio,, is Result of Fight
Wagea by Labor
Unions.

Manager Earl Morgan, of the Grand
Opera house, has Cancelled ''D4ddies''
and "Chin Chin" the two attractions
booked for next week, and decided to
close the house for the rest of the sea-
son. s
The action OF Manager Morgan is
the finale to a fight made against the
house for several months past by the
labor unions for various reasons,
Yesterday State Fire Marshal Horan
and Deputy Marshal Kindleberger, or
Charleston, were in the city and, It is
reported, insisted that certain changes
be made in the electric wiring Of the
house, an expense which Manager
Morgan felt would not be justified on
account OF the approaching end OF the
theatrical season and the recent sale
of the house to the Odd Fellows. \

You don't mean that"
But I do" He tried to speak fur.
ther, but he coughed instead. "But
couldn't II wanted to. That cough
tells you why, guess"
You mean to say" Silas Lennox
turned In amazement. "You mean that
you're "a goner7 That you've given
up hope Of recovering7"
"That's the impression meant to
convey. I've got little over four
months-though I don't see that I'm
any weaker than was when the doc
tor said I had six months. Those
four will take me all through the fall
and the early winter. And hope you
won't feel that you've been imposed
upon-to have dying man on your
hands,"
ut isn't that" Silas Lennox threw
his car into gear and started up the
long grade. And he drove clear to the
top Of 1t and into another glen before
he spoke again. Then he pointed to
what looked to Dan like brown
streak that melted into the thick
brush. "That was deer" he said
slowly. "Just a glimpse, but your
grandfather could have got him be-
tween the eyes. Most like as not,
though, he'd have let him go. He
never killed except when he needed
meat. But that-as you say-ain't
the impression Pm trying to convey"
He seemed to be cropping for words.
what is 1t, Mr.. LennoxT Dan
asked.
Instead of being sorry, I'm mighty
glad you've come" Lennox told him.
IT'S not that i expect you to be like
your grandfather. You haven't had
his chance But it's always the way
Of true men, the world over, to come
back to their own kind to die. That
deer we just saw-he's your people,
and so are all these ranchers that
grub their lives out Of the forests
they are your people, too. And you
couldn't have pleased the old mans
old friends any better, or done more
for his memory, than to come back
to his own land for your last days"
The words were strange, yet Dan
intuitively understood. It was as If
prodigal son had returned at last,
and although his birthright was
squandered and he came only to die.
the people Of his home would give him
kindness and forgiveness, even though
they could not give him their respect.

TAKE OLD LACE COLLARS
AND PAINT THEM LIKE NEW.

Autumnal shades and grayed colors
are being used great deal this year
in the fall costumes. Many beautiful
hues are combined in the decoration of
hats. These colors may be repeated in
the gowns by using oil paints on cotton
or linen collars.
Lace collars having floral designs may
be painted with oil paints of harmon
izing hues which match those of the
hat. To do this, pin or baste the collar
on bit of clean white blotting paper,
SO as to keep the collar from Slipping.
The blotting paper acts as an absorb
ent. If the oil paints seem too thick
to apply directly to the cotton or linen
fabrics, mix drop of gasoline with
the paint, which you have placed on
the mixing dish. Try the paint on a
plain piece of cotton material to see
that it is the desired color, then pre-
pare in like manner the various colors
you plan to use.
Before touching the brush to the col
lar, decide where each color is to be
placed A neutral hue is used for the
background while the figures or floral
designs are painted in brighter and
more striking colors. Every thread of
the collar must be saturated with the
paint, so that the white will not show
through between the colors.
Very fine crocheted or hand ma1o
lace collars which are yellowed with
age may be frightened and made ns-
able by this method of painting.
These collars may be cleaned by dip
ping them into luke-warm water, but
not in gasoline. which would dissolve
the paint.-Rachel Gladys Dunn, Colo

TWO MEN IN A BOAT.

MONrFOSE, Colo, Dec. 17.-Frank
Chambers and John Truhone sartcd this
week on the fourth trip which has ever
been attempted down the rapids of the
Gunnison river through the BLACK
canon.
They have shipped their boat and
provisions to Currecanti, which is a few
miles east of Saninero and near the en-
trance of the canon. where the rail-
road line leaves the canon.
They are undertaking the trip now
because the water is low and they will
be able to slide the boat over many
rough places on the ice. The trip is be-
ing made Independent of any organiza-
tion, SIMPLY to examine the canon and
see its unsurpassed natural beauties.
Only two men ever have completed
the trip down the river through Black
canon. In August, 1901, Prof. A. L..
Fellows of the U. s. r. s., formerly OF
Denver, and W W florence of Mont
rose, equipped with rubber boat,
started into the canon to accomplish
what many other pioneers had failed in.
The encountered many difficulties in
the early stages of the hazardous v0y-
age, but the most dangerous part came
when they plunged over a falls which
had previously been named the "Falls
of Sorrow" by J. E. Peyton, J. A. Cur
tbs, NJ. J.. Hovey, E. B. Anderson, and
". w. Terrence, who baked when thoy
came to this dangerous falls of many

Fellows and Terrence plunged into
the whirling vortex of the Falls Of
Sorrow, where the river plunges through
an opening Of only twenty eight feet,
and after tc;rg hammered for some
minutes, foated out into calm water,
bruised. bleeding and exhausted.
Another dangerous experience Of the
trip was when they encountered place
where the river plunged into an open
ing which had been dug out Of hugo
rocks. Here they had to blindly drift

SERVING HOT LUNCHES IN
SMALL COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

While the carrying Of lunches is by
far the most common practice, taking
country and town together, there are
few cases in which it is not desirable
for the school to share with the home
the responsibility for the noon day
meal. In some places the task for the
school may be hardly more than that
of providing clean and safe places for
lunch baskets, where the food will not
be likely to become dirty or spoiled.
In others it may be practicable to pro-
vide by one means or another hot
dish with which to supplement foods
Drought from home. In still others,
particularly where large attendance
and many teachers and other workers
make subdivision of labor compare
lively easy matter, it may be possible
for the school to establish and main
tain lunch rooms.
1t is in the small country school with
only one teacher that the midday meal
present the most difficult problem. The
common custom is still for the pupils
to bring their lunches, but there is 4
growing tendency to try the experiment
of preparing part of the meal at school
and of allowing time to serve it care
fully If rightly handled, the meal
even under the unusual difficulties pre-
sented in the rural school, may offer
the most favorable of all opportunities
| to inculcate cleanliness and to teach
sanitation and simple cookery. The
situation, however, requires teacher
of ingenuity and Of enthusiasm for her
work.
The simplest of equipment includes q
large Kettle suitable to be used on the
stove that heats the school house,
measuring cup and spoons, pairing knife,
mixing spoon, dish pans and towels.
1t will usually be possible for the boys
to make set of shelves for the dishes.
using box lumber if no other is avail
able, and for the girls to make cur
tains or other coverings for protecting
the dishes from dust. The pupils will,
as rule, be found willing to bring
plates, cups. bowls and spoons from
home, If this is necessary in order to
keep down expenses. A fireless cooker
is convenient for meat stews, meat and
bean soups, cereal mushes and many
other dishes that require long cooking.
The recipes for the dishes cooked for
lunch may be given to the older girls
in school, discussed in class and tried
at home. The special dish for the day,
which in winter is usually hot and in
summer cold, can be prepared and
served at noon by the girls, working in
turn. It will often be necessary to
serve the food to the children at their
seats, practice which is not especially
Objectionable if the school house is well
ventilated and clean, the desks care
fully cleaned before meals, and the
building thoroughly screened to keep
out flies.

the senate. The delegates voted to
make no change in the political re-
striction clause in the Legion consti-

Resolutions advocating complete
