concerts as have been given us
this summer thru she Efforts OF
Director s. G. Hamlin and the
boys are worthy of all the support
the city can give in return.
The entertainment was high
class, and yet mixed with enoug h
comedy to keep the entire audi

one wanted TO have a crouch, !"
it was no place for him at the band
entertainment. One simply had

The bard gave three principal
numbers, responding each time TO
the hearty applause of the audi
ence. The playing showed the
careful preparation of the boys and
the splendid training given by Dr.
rector Hamlin. The time was per-

in manner that would bear the
most severe criticism. Other bands

Springs.
One mum ber given by the baud,
and which was certainly true TO its
name, was a "Heckiva Tymes'a
arranged by Messrs. Hamlin and
Leach. Director Hamlin, who of
course is especially particular,
called first one and then another of
the band members down for strik-
ing a bum note, ETC., and each
time the me m bers showed eonsid-
erable temper and left the stage,
each taking few others with him.
Neither did they hesitate in telling
Mr., Hamlin Eyes, sir, right before

know nearly as much about music
as he thought he did, and that they
were playing according to the way
the music was written. One fellow "
said he was playing the piece in

ed like it, SO we know he did.
Uudaunted by the fact that his
players were displaying much tenn
per and that he finally was left
with only the drummer, Director
Hamlin and his baton continued
to entertain the audience until one
of the members came back and
said the boys realized they were a
little hasty. and if Director Ham
lin would let them come back they
would all try to do better, The
apology was accepted and soon the
boys we're again in their places on
the stage, and rendered a selection

tor was proud of. Now, wouldn't

WAS not half Of it. They were
called back repeatedly, and the aue
dience wondered sometimes if they
could possibly know any more
songs rhey sang both classical
and comical songs, and they did SO
remarkably we'll in both that it was
hard to tell to which they were
best adapted. They appeared in
dress suits, whic added dignity
to the occasion, and they surely
had the audience at their com
mand. Tue ban 10 and ukelele i'm
presentations were wonderful, and
kept everyone wondering if there
were anything which this quartet
could not do. They never did run
out OF songs, and altho the audi
ence clamored for them to appear
once more, time was limited and
Director Hamlin was compelled to
proceed with the program. It was
very kind of the quartet to be SC
generous, and the fact that such
service was given without compen.
sation should be doubly appreci-
gted by tbs whsie of Idaho S prings
The quartet comes from the Yeagel
mortuary at Denver, and appeared
here one evening this summer in
the band concert. Whenever the
Yeager quartet is announced TO
entertain in Idaho Springs, there
need be no fear of small audi
ence.
One Of the numbers towards the
last of the program was the imper-
sonation by S. G. Hamlin. He
gave "Pyramus and Thisbe" from
Midsummer Nights Dream" by
Shakespeare. Mr.. Hamlin is won
derful in this line as we'll as in
music, and his quick changes from
the impersonation of one character
to another was indeed marvellous.
He held his audience perfectly,
and the appreciation was shown
by the loud applause. 1t seems as
though Mr. Hamlin had almost
missed his calling when he settles
down as a mining engineer and
gives up talent which DO doubt
would pay him far better Any
way. the people Of Idaho Springs
are glad that he is here and that
they will get the benefit of his tai
ent, which, so to speak, he is "hid-
ing under bushel."
After the entertainment the hall
was crowded for the dance, people
having come from all directions to
have part in the gayeties of the
evening. Leach S orchestra, which
is composed practically of band
members, furnished the music, as.
sisted in few numbers by other
members Of the band. In some of
the pieces Jack Roth and the Yea.
ger quartet blended their voices
with the music, and altogether the
affair was most enjoyable one.
There was no disorder, and the
dance was not a disappointment to
anyone.
The proceeds, which amounted
% approximately $3.50, will go to
he band to be used for music and
other necessary supplies, and next
summer Idaho Springs will have
more concerts and baud which is
second to nome Three cheers
or the Blazing Arrow
Members of the band and the
parts they play are as follows:

Harvest Moon.

Sir John Frederick William Her
schel, the great English physicist and
astronomer, said that the full moon
which happens on or nearest to the
21st of September is called the har-
vest moon. At or about the time Of
harvest i'm the north temperate zone.
the sun in it's usual course is ap-
preaching the celestial equator, which
it crosses from north to south on Sep
TENDER %. On that date it sets close
to the western point of the horizon.
If II happens to be then also full
moon, the moon rises that evening
as the sun sets, and 1t at its rising
opposite the sun, or close to the exact
eastern point of the horizon. Thus it
begins to give light at sunset and con-
tinues to do so until sunrise, when 1t
sets opposite the sun, just as the lat
ter rises. This arrangement holds
good without any great change for
several days, so that there is practi-
cally no darkness, especially if the
weather is fine The full moon which
thus Eliminates the autumn nights is
called the harvest moon.

the next yard; but one day, TO MS
surprise, he found he could squeeze
himself PARKWAY through, far enough
to reach the fruit.
1t did not taste quite so nice as he
had expected it would, but all piggies
think stolen fruit sweet, and after he
had eaten one or two he began to like
the green apples.
There were plenty within his reach,
and he ate and ate, never thinking OF
stopping until his mother, awakening
from her nap, saw his hind legs, and
jumped up with grunt.
Then Billy Pig tried to jump, too,
but to his surprise, though he wiggled
and squirmed, he could not move.
He had eaten so many apples he
could not get back through the hole,
and though his mother poked and
pulled, he was held fast.
Such squealing and grunting never
was heard. The brother piggies did
the squealing, though none of them
could outsqueal Billy Pig, and Mrs.
Pig grunted until the farmer came
running to see what had happened.
He tried to pull Billy Pig out by the
hind feet, but it was no use and he
had to call the hired man TO help
before the boards could be pried apart
and Billy Pig set free.
Such scolding as his mother gave
him no had never had hpfOre and ne
was glad to creep into his bed without
his supper. but he did not sleep. for
green apples are not good for even
pigs to eat, just as his mother told
him, and Billy Pig had such a pain
and cramp that he never again want
ed to eat green apples.

grow thick, since nothing is more eff
fective than breathing the pine-scent-
ed air every day. If for any reason
this is impossible, they should plant
their yards full of pine trees, and put
up window boxes filed with dwarf
pines and frs, so the air coming
through the windows bears the healing
scent. For city jewellers this is es-
pecially good.
The nose and throat should be
sprayed twice daily with some anti
septic solution, preferably one given
by a doctor who understands the case.
Anything with pine In 1t is sure to
be effective. This treatment will cure
any mild case of catarrh, advanced
cases need a different form of treat
ment. Though living among the pines
will cure anyone, they say.
! The principle is to keep the throat
and nose clean, to kill the poisonous
formations, and so, to build up a
stronger throat.

STOLEN FRUIT

TN THE next yard to where Mrs Pig
Il lived with her five piggie children
was an orchard and on the ground the
five piggies could see when they peeked
through the cracks in the fence heaps
of apples, and though their mother
told them they were green and not fit
food for even a pig the piggies looked
at them with longing eyes.
Billy Pig was smarter than his
brothers. and so more often got into
trouble. for his brothers were content
to eat warm porridge for their dinner
and then go to sleep with their mother,
but Billy Pig was not.
He always slept with one eye open.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
TO "RAlSE" CHILDREN.

y RAMMARIANS generally are
" agreed that it is not correct to
apply the term raise" to the rearing
or education or bringing up of chill
dren. The verb raise" is applied with
propriety only to crops or cattle, never
to human beings. "She raised fam
lily of eight children" says a charity
report; 1t should have said, "She
reared" or "she brought up" The
Standard dictionary ridicules the ex-
preston, attributed to Southern
county, "She raised thirteen head Of
children"
The term brought up is the more
modern of the two; the term "reared"
is older. The misuse Of the term
raised" is q colloquialism that is COM
mon in some of the Southern and
Western states.
Some authorities criticize the use
Of the verb grow In connection with
crops, asserting that we should not
say, "We grow wheat on our farm"
but should say, "We raise wheat"

tarrh for many years and was getting

remedy, and asked if catarrh was cur
able. l gave her all the advice

TOO serious to be handled by one whose
speciality is general health and looks,
and told her to go to physician.

Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
DE WaILar
TELLING is SELLING
By F. A. Walker

TN THESE days of time-saving de-
i vices, money-saving inventions and
eifort-saving ideas the thinking man
finds much to interest him when he
hears another thinking man compress
a big thought into the fewest possible
words.
The literary man has name for
these examples of condensed wisdom.
He calls them "epigrams."
"Epigram" Is an interesting word.
You can spend useful fifteen min
utes studying out in some good die
tionary Just what 1t meant In the
original Greek and how it came TO
have an entirely different meaning
i'm English.
One of the most condensed and
meaningful phrases have ever seen
written or heard spoken was used by
great editorial writer who boiled
down a whole sermon into three words
when he said Repetition Is reputa-
tion:" That is sound, unassailable
truth in the fewest possible words.
Alongside that condensation of wis
dom l have filed away in my memory
the three-wOrd statement that / heard
an advertising solicitor use the other
day In convincing q prospective buyer
of publicity that advertising would be
the best possible investment that he
could make.
These were the three words he used:
"Telling is selling"
That comes pretty near reducing the
statement of what advertising Is to the
fewest possible words and stating IT
in the simplest possible way.
To greater or less degree every
human being is an advertiser.
The man or woman who dresses well
advertises prosperity.
The man or woman who uses the
proper words in the proper places and
shows broad acquaintance with facts
advertises education.
The man with the light step, quick
movement. unceasing activity, adver-
tises energy, probably ambition.
You say II am a good judge of hu-
man nature" That Is only another
way of stating that you are an accu-
rate reader of the personal advertising
of individuals.
Every day we unconsciously tell"
| Observation-Disclosures Ourselves-by our
actions, by our habits by our CONVEX
! satiOn. Everyday we unknOwingly
| succeed In or fail I'm "Selling" our
selves.
If telling is selling" 1t is equally
true that "Overtelling is underselling."
Nobody ever permanently gained
anything by wandering from the truth.
Boosting is only polite name for
lying.
Any buyer Of men or merchandise
would rather be surprised by finding
his purchase better than he thought 1t
was than to discover that ii failed to
come up to what he had reasonable
right to expect.
If you have occasion to talk about
yourself tell just what you are.
If you find it necessary to sell your
self do not bargain for more than you
can deliver.
"Telling is selling" but the telling
must be the truth and the selling
must be on the basis of turning over
| just what you have agreed to-Of hav-
Ing the goods test 100 per cent Of
what they were represented to be.

THE RENT COLLECTOR

ID ENT collecting is branch Of the
~ real estate work that appeals to
many young women who are interest
ed In housing problems, and several
such have entered 1t from settlement
work. The landlords find that women
make better rent collectors than men,
that they get closer to the tenants,
and that they promote a better under
standing between the parties to the
renting business.
Rent collecting is not q mere turn
ing up at the first of the month with
the demand for the rent. It is to the
interest of the landlord that the
houses he owns be properly run and
kept up, that undesirable tenants be
elected, and that the right kind get
right treatment. Women are good at
getting results In these directions. II
Is usually the woman Of the apartment
who pays the rent; ii is she who has
complaints to make or alterations to
demand. And she speaks more freely
to another woman, and the other
woman understands better the usual
problems Of housekeeping. 1t works
well both ways.
A rent collector Is In position to
know more than most persons about
vacant apartments, various types of
renters, possibilities of development
bargains. There are really fine bust
ness opportunities in this line, and
women should study them.
After all, II Is women who live In
the home and who manage the home.
When 1t comes to homes, women make
the better agents and better rent col
lectors. and women are entering the
new field with enthusiasm.
