T WAS nt onco a lovo fenst nnd
n forum; n proclamation of re
publican principles nud n defini
tion of tholr probity"' nnd pormn
nenco. Tho mooting of Cooh county rop
ubllcnns Inst Saturday evening was
ns stnted by ono of tho speakers,
not n gathering of assembly or nntl
nssombly republicans, nor of pro
gressives nr stand pntH but Just rep
ubllcuiiH who kiivo full nnd free nnd
frnnlc oxprosslon to tholn views on
vnrloiiH phases of party organization,
policy nud principle. The necessity
of orKitutxatlon and harmony wore
ably set forth. The lined of the
party 'to keep abreast of the people
was voiced.
All sides of current political ques
tions were stated. Koine were ao
ffj'ted, Home answered nnd others
nhsorbwl. It was a healthy discus
sion that brought out nil phases of
polities.
A noteworthy feature of the ove
iiIiik was the siiKieatlou of one
speaker that I.lnooln had met and
solved 'the problem of dealing with
the constitution when he made that
guat Inatruineut conform to equal
rights nnd freodom of all men with
out roference to eolor, oraed or
country. The demand of the people
today fur direct election of U. S.
senators will bo solved in n similar
innnuor.
Tho Lincoln banquet served Its
purpose of brlngluK republicans to
gether to tnlk ever their common
ciuifeo nnd advancing reasons for the
fnlth that Is In them. It developed
the fact that the spirit of veal rep
ublicanism Js the spirit of progress
from tho days of Llueuln to the days
of Tnft.
Wo want party harmony. Wo
want to work together as n party.
If we nro to hnvo party harmony
that nmouuts to anything, It must
be tho harmony of health; It must
be tho harmony of party soundness;
It must bo tho 'party harmony thnt
lins nothing in It which falls to rep
resent tho demand of tho pooplo nnd
that tho party thnt tho government
AHSHFIHLD dealers comment
upon a falling oft In the de
mand for valentines. Not a
very serlutts thing, perhaps, but It
has Its reason, and a reason that
others btwlriea valentine dealers may
do well to consider.
The first missives sent In honor
of St. Valentine were expressions of
friendship by neighbors nud ac
quaintances nnd of love by thosi
bound In closer ties of union. Tho
bashful swain took advantage of the
latitude allowed during the senson
and sent his timid though fervent
cplstlo.
No doubt grotosquo were some cf
the latter nttompts to make the best
of tho occasion, nnd from those prob
ably arose tho "comic" vnlentlnc.
Gradually, however, tho liberty of
the season grew Into license, nnd
"comic" valentines descended
through pnthos into n dangerous af
finity to insult, People with n
grudge npnliift others took ndvnnt-
ngo of this tonson to wound where
they dnrod not strlko openly; tho
"Joke" was morely an excuse behind
which to hide It discovered. Thus
the vnlentlnc boenmo degraded nnd
eventually discarded.
Thero possibly Is danger thnt the
Christmas season may follow n simi
lar course. So far tho Chrlstmis
card has not shown any Indication
of this tendency, but tho Christmas
tiee certainly hns; almost any pu
lie ontertnlnmcnt nt Christinas time
Is now made the occasion of offen
sive "gifts" by persons having n
grudge, nnd taking advantage of
the supposed "Joke" In tho gift to
humiliate, or attempt to humiliate,
some ono they dnro not face openly.
Sport, ns' represented by athletic
gnmos, may tend toward n similar
degradation nnd bo shunned by the
better classes of the peoplo if "nag
ging" of players nud bitterness of
feeling bo nllowcd to roplnco the
manly strenuous chnrnctor theso

CRIMINALS.
The history of tho nineteenth
century Is lllle-l with the reforms
which were directed not merely
to the Improvement of criminal
codes nnd the mitigation of pun
ishments for crime, but to the
belter cure of the Insane, of pau
pers und or prisoners, who had
boon treated In the eighteenth
century fur worse than uulmnls.
I u some of our states and lu
tunny countries of ICurope tho
death "penalty hns boon abolish
ed, even lu cases of murder.
Heforo tho era of reform there
was little or no public sympathy
with tho criminal. Today wo
seom almost to hnvo reached tho
point where tho sympathy Is so
Btrlctly contlncd to tho criminal
thnt thero Is none loft for tho
victim of tho crime. The aboli
tion of capital punishment docs
not nppenr to have brought
about tho condition postulated
by Tnlleyrand, who, when ho (
was urged to support tho aboli
tion of the death penalty, said
he certainly would If tho mur
derers would begin by giving up
murder.-Henry Cabot Lodge.

KYK.NIXO undor the nusplqos of tho
Lndles of tho Episcopal church.
Tho world Is full of cnes of pooplo
overreaching themselves by trying to
overreach some one ele. Unhappily
few of these cases come out to the ml
vnutngo of the person overreached,
Peter luslee, n prospector, discov
ered a rich vein of ore In Colorado
nnd sold n half Interest to Kuoch
Smlthson, who organized n company
for its development. Insleo's share
wns all lu the stock of tho company,
no owning n few shares less than
Smlthson, thus giving the purchaser
full control tn tho promises. Inslce
did not get any dividends on his stock,
nnd being very poor, with n wife nnd
u couple of kids to supiwrt, ho wns
obliged to sell n few shares occasionally
to keep tho wolf from tho door.
Meanwhile the price of the stock on
tho exchange wns gradually settling.
When tho company wns organized a
few shares were sold at GO per cent
of their par vnlue. As Inslce kept
putting It out ho got los nnd less for
It (111 he wns obliged to part with con
siderable shares nt n time to supply
his necessities. After nwhllo he sold
the Inst of It for 0 cents on tho dollar.
About this time, going by the mine,
he saw that n high fence had been
put around It. lie strolled tip to the
gnto nnd wns refused admittance. Tor
tho first time It occurred to him that
Smlthson had protended thnt tho mine
wns not paying In order to depress the
stock.
Inslce wont to Potter, n broker In
Colorado Springs, nnd asked him to
find out what flouting stock of tho
company thero wnH on the market.
Potior Investigated subrosa and dis
covered that there was nil of Insleo's
original stock nnd n part of Smith
son's, which tho latter had given In
payment for mining machinery nnd
other necessities. Insleo told tho
broker nbout tho fenco recently put
around tho property, saying nlso thnt
lie suspected there wns n "nigger" be.
hind It. Pottpr agreed thnt If Inslce
would nt any time find out thnt tho
mine wns doing well ho would nd
vnnco money to buy tho stock, ho get
ting n slice of all ho bought besides
Ills commissions. So they got up a
codo of communication nnd Insleo
went home.
Staining his faco so as to pans ns n
half breed Indian. Insleo went to tho
initio nnd applied for work. Ilo wns
obliged to npply several times before
being employed. When ho got In bo
hind the fence he found that ho was
not allowed to go out. Nor was he
nr any other man In tho mine permit
ted to communicate with those out
side except by letter, and nil letters
were Inspected bofore being sent.
Inslce felt assured thnt tho manage
ment were expecting something re
markable. Then one day It wns evi
dent that something rcmnrknblo had
occuncd. Smlthson went by. talking
excitedly to n tiinn Insleo know to bo
n capitalist, nud luslee heard Smlthson
say, "Six hundred dollars to the ton'."
Insleo dared not communicate with
Potter direct. lie could with his wlfo,
though only nbout family affairs, and
bad told her befpro leaving her to heat
his letters. Tho day he heard Smith
son's remark ha wrote her, Inclosing
Botno wages ho had rocolvctl. Mrs.
Insleo heated tho paper and brown
letters caino out on It.
"Wlro Potter to buy nil ho can got.
Six hundred ,to tho ton."
Mrs. Insleo at once sent tho message.
Potter found that already small or
ders to buy tho stock were being exe
cuted, uud the prlco had gone tip from
0 to 7 cents. Ho had learned who held
tho shares and went round buylug It
at private sale. In this wny ho kept
the pi Ice down till he had bought nil
Insleo's original atock nnd so much of
Smlthson's as was on tho market.
Siulthson's brokers wero now en
deavoring to secure tho stock at an
advanced prlco through the exchanges,
but found none for sale.
Ono morning Insjeo walked Into Pot
ter's olllco and told him thnt a imig
ultlceut strike had been mnde nt tho
mine. Potter nt once U'gaii to bid lu
open market for the stock, lie secured
none, but effected his purpose, which
was to give a belter valuo to the slums
as quoted.
Thou luslee. undisguised, went to
the mine, culled for Smlthson and de
manded an accounting. Smlthson told
him that he lu'd paid him fo.- his in
terest and ordered him olY the prom
Uos. Insloe advUed him to bo ready
to turn the proKrty over to it now
maiingenieut one month from that day,
on which was to bo hold the annual
election of directors.
When that day came around luslee,
who held his own original half of tho
stock ami one-third of Smlthson's, ap
peared at the meeting of stockholders
ho and Smlthson held It all and vot
ed lu a new board with himself as
prosldont.
"And now, Mr. Smlthson," ho said,
"I'll trouble you to vacate theso prem
ises." There was .nothing for Smlthson to
do but to turn the mine over to Its dis
coverers, undor tho law governing cor
porations. Smlthson, who was ambl
tlous to have both his own and Insleo's
share, found himself obliged to be con
tent with tho lesser part. This ho even
tunlly sold to Insleo at private sale.
The mine proved far more valuablo
than had been supposed oven when tho
strlko was made, nnd through It Insleo
became enormously rich, while Smith
son subsequently lost what ho had
made.

Use Electric Flat Irons
the Year Round
They are equally as convenient in fall and winter as '
they arc in the hot weather. There may be less
discomfort from kitchen fires, to be sure, but the electric
flat iron has many other advantages than' saving heat.
They save drudgery. They save footsteps between
ironing board and stove. They never need changing.
They are always clean and uniformly hot rear'- -.t
your elbow.
Thousands of Women
use them who prefer to iron little things themselves m
their own room, or elsewhere, on short notice. An elec
tric iron once tried is never afterward dispensed with.,
Why not try one yourself. Ask us for particulars. i
