Barolo Conduct of £ Tall, Graceful Girl
at tho Supreme Test of Love.
Two tall, graceful girls strolled slow
ly along tho beach earnestly conversing.
They were conspicuous iu the throng,
and many an admiring glance was
turned toward them as they sauntered
to and fro. A cloudless sky was reflect
ed in calm waters below, while scarcely
a breath of air was stirring.
The girl in tho pure white blazer was
doing most of the talking.
“It is all very well,” she was saying,
“to insist that you would die for the
man you love, but tho sacrifice is quite
another thing,” * -

which occurred in their pioneer days un

One of the most scientific of these is Jim
Hawthorne, whoso home now is near
White Pine, (Gunnison county. Here is
one of Jim’s storiee: “Me and my pard-

can detect a bail spring before putting
it in the watch, cither by its color or -
the softness of its spring. These have

and instead of being subjected to merely j
a red heat the fire baa bees brought to

New that tho official programme for
the uniform ppphlsi* celebration of Co
lumbus Day boa been published, the
question of the participation by this
community in the national exercises be
comes a live issue.
It goes without saying that the people
of this locality will not be backward in
evidencing their patriotism by an appro
priate celc
celebration of tho memorable
day, and a few suggestions as te the
best method of executing this com
mendable design may not be amine at
this time.
In the first place, it choroid bo borne in
mind that it is intended that tho school
children should la the principal partici
pants in the exercises. The pupils are
to be at their places in school at 9
o’clock as usual. It is desirable that
business be entirely suspended so that
the relatives of the pupils may also
be present Printed programmes should
be provided when possible, and the ex
ercises will of course be subject to the
limitations of the scholars, but every
thing which may be done should tend
to the central ideas of Columbus’
achievement and the remarkable prog
ress of the country under the impetus of
education. Appropriate patriotic deco
rations ore uqczps&ry. and allegorical
tableaux will ad<f greatly to the effect-
irenese and enjoyment of tho exercises
Music is also desirable.

hitch, and for this reason n great deni
bf preliminary work will hare to hfi

Upon the school teachers will devolve
the greatest portion of this biboe. Each
teacher should at once, if it has not al
ready boon done, present the matter ot
the celebration of Cotambuz Day to
his pupils, and it should be Add bftfotta
tho young people in such n manner that

and needed, for without it failure must
result Let each teacher select commit
tees on reception, on decorations,, on ex-
ercisen, on printing, on newspapers, od
Arrangements and on finance. The
principal must bo actually if not nom
inally the directing spirit of each Com
mittee.
At the merning exercises at the ecboolz
the veterans should have charge of the
flag and should also act as gqgzdz of
honor to tbo schools on the march to tbfi
