of the life which is so new to them.
Some children fall into the un-
derstanding Of things more readily
than others but with all there is a
tumult Of perplexing queries.
Sometimes they confuse their
dreams with their waking hours, as
was the case with the little girl who
appealed to her mother to confirm
her account of her dream. "You
know, mama, for you were there, ;"
said the child.
Daydreaming is not limited to
children alone but in childhood the
illusions take on a very real as
pect. A large part of children's
play is make believe, and they
carry on the different phases Of the
Lives of their elders with surprising
aptitude and the illusion stays with
them and influences them in the
development of their character.
For we must bear in mind that
the evil which they see is portrayed
as we'll as the good, and if they
have observed any evidence Of de-
ceit in their elders their ideas of
right and wrong are confused, for
they obtain knowledge far more
readily from observation than from
oral lessons.
Untruthfulness is a very serious
fault and should be firmly dealt
with, but the mother must be free
from the offense herself or her eff
forts to restrain her children will
be unavailing.
And she must be wise enough to
distinguish the willful falsehood
from the hallucinations of child
hood, and intentional deceit from
the illusions and Imagination Of i'm
! mature minds for child should
never be wrongfully accused.

What Is Not Worth While

A career that is interesting to
people who are inclined to reflect
upon what things are really worth
while in life came to close in the
poorhouse Of Lockport, New York,
recently.
Twenty years ago this spring,
Mrs. Annie Edison Taylor con-
ceived the idea Of winning renown
and fortune by going over Niagara
Falls in barrel.
She went to Bay City, Michigan,
where she had a barrel built to or
der from special white oak stock
and Of dimensions such that it
would hold enough air to last her
for fifty minutes when sealed. She
returned to the Falls with it and
launched herself in the rapids above
the great cataract on the afternoon
of October 81, 1901. Seventy-fve
minutes later the barrel was picked
up below the Falls by the steamer,
"Maid of the Mist" When it was
opened, Mrs. Taylor was found to
be unconscious by reason Of suffo-
cation. However, she was resus-
citated; and she soon started on a
lecture tour of the United States.
The project was not so successful
as to its latter part. Her fellow
citizens did not seem to wish to be
thrilled with a story of this kind
and did not come out to hear her.
Finally, the barrel, which she car
ried with her, was stolen; and after
this matters went from bad to
worse.
Not long ago, she went to the
poorhouse at Lockport. She was
nearly blind, apparently as one OF
the results of her perilous adven-
ture. And when she died there re-
Gently, a subscription was taken up
to provide for her burial in Oak
wood Cemetery at Niagara Falls.
Ii we were to moralize, it would
be on the utter futility of those &C
Invites in life that do not result in
actual service to others. Nor
would such meditation be out of
place, for there are countless thou
sands of Americans who are spend
ing themselves in similar useless
ways. Indeed, not many appear
to think Of the service they render
others In this respect, our demo
cracy seems to resemble those
which rose and went down before
it. There were many of them; and
all, without exception, were wrecked
on the rock Of individualism, which
is the name given to the pursuit OF
our own selfish interests without
thought of others.

Helpful Thoughts
The Pending Decision

There are many signs that we
shall soon witness determined
and concerted effort to discredit
and abolish the primary election
system for the selection of party
candidates and to substitute for it
the old plan Of nominating candi-
dates by party caucuses and con-
ventions. 1t seems to follow that
voters generally, and women voters
in particular, should make up their
minds soon as to what their stand
shall be on the question when the
moment of the decision shall arrive.
In defense of the present primary
plan, the argument which is per-
haps strongest of all is that given
below:
In former times, when the con-
vention system was in vogue, only
about seven per cent of the voters
actually attended the caucuses and
conventions at which the party
candidates were chosen. Under
the primary plan, the percentage is
now above fifty and rising year by
year. Indeed, there is reason to
believe that eventually we shall
see practically the entire electorate
voting at the primaries just as they
do at the general elections.
This means that the rank and
file of voters actually play much
larger part in the naming of candi-
dates under the primary than un-
der the convention plan; that the
chance for tricky and corrupt poll
ticians to select the party nomi-
nees is correspondingly less; that
the voters should be generally bet.
ter satisfied with the candidates
than if their nomination were at
tended with suspicion and distrust
and that this willingness to accept
the result will make for party unit,
and solidarity and at the same
time reduce the number of indiffer
ent ones who remain away from
the polls rather than to support
doubtful nominees.
All of these results seem actually
to. have been realized in a consider
able degree under the primary sys
tenn; and there IS much reason te
expect that the benefits will in
crease as the years go by.

MAINTAIN QUALITY OF EGGS
Handling and Treatment Given After
Being Laid Have Much Influ-
ence on Worth.

An egg is never any better in quality
than just at the moment it is laid in a
clean nest. What happens to it after
1t has been well borne is what gives
it character and reputation. For in
stance. an egg that has been harvested
and placed in hot kitchen near de-
caying vegetable matter will soon
take on" deterioration while good
quality egg placed in cold storage for
several months will possess quality,
though far from being freshly laid.
1t is the handling and treatment of
eggs after being Laid that has every
thing to do with the maintenance Of
quality. AS matters average, March
or April laid eggs, properly storaged,
possess a quality equal to many So
called fl esh eggs produced during the
hot days of summer, and particularly
If the latter are not handled just right.
Environment is of quite as much impor-
tance as age. More depends on the
human factor than the hen. Birds
well fed and in sanitary surroundings
lay good eggs; it is the care and at
tention given them while in transit
to the ultimate consumer that largely
influences quality.

Fire at Central City
Does Much DAMAGE

The fire alarm at Central City
about one O'Clock Sunday morning
awakened the citizens from their
righteous sleep and to the realiza-
tion that two of their business
buildings were on fire. One was
the assay Office of J. F. Kimball,
and the other was the Rogers
blacksmith shop operated by A. B.
Blood The fire had such good
headway that it was impossible to
save the buildings, and both were
total losses. The origin of the
FIRE is supposed to have been from
sparks from the furnace of the
assay office, the building being a
frame structure. This, however
is only supposition.
j. F. Kimball is brother oi
George K. Kimball of this city.

The mining man alluded to knew
nothing of the advertisement, but
all at once he began receiving let
lers and photographs from far and
near, the first batch Of letters, it
is said, numbering 78. The next
day he received few more, and
if they keep coming, we suggest
that he advertise for. secretary

barium tetrasulphid does not kill all

The Golden Transcript has an
account of the establishment OF a
new industry for that thriving city
down the valley, and as the bust
ness is being established by John
Crago, an Idaho Springs man, it
becomes of considerable interest
to our people. The Transcript
says:
indications are looking bright
for another plant in Golden which
will employ ten or twelve men.
The Colorda Feldspar, Flint q Mica
company has had representatives
here several times during the past
few weeks, and the company plans
10 put up a crushing and grinding
mill where crushed feldspar will
be made in large quantities. 1t
is likely that the plant will be
placed near the mouth of Golden
Gate canon, where the feldspar
from the Ramstetter mines can be
loaded into the bins. This mill
will have a capacity of 25 tons of
crushed spar per day. Feldspar is
essential in the manufacture of
pottery, and there is big demand
for the right kind. That from the
Guy Hill country is said to be the
finest ever discovered"
