The new foot bridge is rapidly
nearilig completion and when finish
ed will be a credit to all concerned
in the undertaking. Now with a
few more dollars the street leading
to the bridge can be transformed
into an attractive thoroughfare.
Trees can be planted and the rough
spots made smooth, and perhaps a
little later 011 a day could be set
aside for the planting of flowers and
a few ornamental shrubs of hardy
growth. A road to Denver glacier
and to other places that may be of
attraction to Skagwav's suimner
tourists will add greatly to the
sightliness of the town and those
for their labor. A number -of old
shacks need to be razed and the lots
made more sightly by hauling away
the rubbish. The town needs a1

years is a menace to the safety o(
the town, as these accumulations
are dry ami u spark of fire dropped
or blown into them might prove
most disastrous. Old fences tha<
have fallen down should be given
to anyone who will haul them away,
Nothing so detracts from the popu
larity of a hotel as an illkept hall
or ragged rugs and too much worn
stair carpet, and so nothing gives a
town a bad or good name as quirkh
as "first apearance". If the town
looks "tacky" the first impression
is thut the people are fully in sym
pathy with the appearance of the
surroundings. The flower gardens
and vegetable gardens of Skagwav
have a very envnble reputation, but
many of them are like beautiful pic
tures in unsightly and broken
frames. The lawns surround n.i

tables thrive in their well kept en

There is a fortune richer far
Than gold and silver treasures - re.

A gentle and a well-Jived life:

'Tis seldom won by brilliant deeds.
No skillful cleverness it need
No cunning tongue or gift of grace
Can lift man to this lofty place
Once lost the richest purse in v;iiu
Would seek to buy it back again
What Is Ibis-wealth of which I pet,?

Behind all outward show you !: id
The culture of the gentle m ,i.

The man too big to cheat or lie.
Who takes but what his purse can

Whose name has come through

A shining symbol of his best
May own but little here of gold.
And seldom may his fame lie told.
But he shall have until life ends
The good opinion of his friends.
To be respected for your worth.
Here is the greatest joy of earth.
To live your life so none can say
That you have walked a shameful
way. •
To come through sorrow's time of
tears.
And bitter days and dreary years.
Still brave of soul and clean of

Pit with the best of men to stand.
Is victory—nor wealth nor grace
Can make such glory commonplace.
The man who walks in honor's ways
And owns his neighbors' love and

Has more, when life's long tale is

•PENS LONG USED
Writing Instruments Are of Great
Antiquity.
Records Prove They Are as Old as
the Sword—Constructed of
Many Materials.
The pen Is one of the oldest Instru
ment:* men use. Whether or not It 1*
! mightier than the sword, as Bulwer
l.vtton makes tlie great French cardl
nal exclaim In the play of "lllchelleu,"
it Is perhaps of as great antiquity as
the s»ord. It Is not as old as stone
headed war cluhs or stone axes, but
It seems to (late hack to the begin
ning of men's knowledge of metals
| am! their alloys. As soon as men cot
| ihe Idea of Inscribing symbols on
stones as representing tilings or
words, they used an Iron Instrument
which was the parent, or the ancestor,
of the |>on. There were pens of Iron
and bronze and reeds, and later the
| quills of feathers.
j The Assyrian kings and scribes and
I ihe I'hoenecluns 2,000 years before
| Christ proclaimed their dynasties with
I decrees written with pens made from
reeds and feathers. Tlie early (Jreeks
Inscribed their letters with a stylus,
hut ihe later (ireeks wTote with the
quills of ge**se, crow* hawks and
. i>ngles. l'ens of brass and silver were
j in use In Home at the beginning of
the Christian era.
The stylus with which many of the
Creeks and Romans wrote was some
iiing like an iron bodkin and It came
' to be used so often In brawls that It
j was prohibited—that Is. men were
j prohibited to use a stylus. The bod
! kin ill old English limes was no doubt
j a ids darning or knitting needle and
: Hamlet had that Instrument in mind
w hen he said: "\Vben he his quietus
might make with a bare bodkin."
1 There are various references In the
i Bible I" pens. In the Book of Judges,
tlie fifth chapter and the fourteenth
| verse, is this: "Out of Machlr came
down governors, and out of Zebulum
| they that handle the pen of the
I writer." In 1 Kings, the twenty-first
| chapter. In the matter of Aliah. Jeze
| hel and Nahoth It is written: "So she
wrote letters In Ahah's name, and
-caied tliem with his seal and sent the
I letters unto the elders and to the
! nobles that were In Ills city, dwelling
with Nahoth." In the nineteenth chap
ter of .lob, the twenty-third and twen
ty fourth verses. Is this: "Oh that
my words were now written 1 Oh that
they wire printed In a book! That
they were graven with an Iron pen
anil lend in rock forever!" The eighth
ipter of Isaiah begins. Take thee a
| irreat roll, and wrlre In It with a man's
pen concerning Maher shalal-hash
I bnz." In the Third Epistle of John
occurs this: "I had many things to
i write, hut I will not with Ink and pen
write to thee."
IVns of steel, gold and silver ap
!(cured in (ireat Britain. France and
America about 1»*> but they were
very .low in gaining favor. They
were expensive, clumsy and not as
satisfactory as the quill. But the
quill had reached the limit In the
nicety with which It could be pointed
and the gold and steel pens continued
to be Improved In their smoothness
and flexibility. The first fountain
pon was patented about 1830 and the
nunib. r of patents granted on fouiv
n pens now reaches into the thou
sands.
Chi'ean Grapes Imported.
An experimental shipment of grapes
sent from Chile to New York,
Willi h view of ascertaining whether
a market could be found in the United
States fur the product of the Chilean
vineyards. The grapes were shipped
in cold storage and are reported to
have arrived Id excellent condition,
anil to have been sold at highly sat
isfactory prices. It Is reported that
smother shipment Is planned as soon
as arrangements can be made. The
experiment Is of particular Interest,
<!nce it is possible that the exporta
tion of fresh fruit from Chile to the
Culled States might become very
profitable, providing shipping facili
ties were available. Chile produces
tine fruit of almost every variety
known to the temperate rone, and It

tlic I tilted States, when the market
would be at Its best
Paper Movie*,
Paper instead of celluloid for movies
Is being tried abroad. It is sa!d, at a
I tremendous saving of expense, and
111 tie decrease In excellence. Opaque
paper may l>e used many times with
out wearing away. Such a revolution
In cost Is desirable, of course, but If
clear photographs can be made
through pap^r we shall be surprised.
The materials of which paper Is made
may be made translucent to ordinary
vision, but hardly transparent, al
though the light rays now In control
of men achieve wonders through ob
stacles the natural sight of man can
not pierce.
Rubber for Tire*.
Nearly 600,000.000 pounds cf crude
rubber were used last year In the
manufacture of automobile tires In
America. Of this Immense total
Brazil contributed more than 5S.(XK>,
I (WO pounds, the Dutch East Indies an
equal or slightly larger amount, and
the British Straits Settlements nearly
five times as much as either of the
other places named. In addition sup
plies were drawn from the Belgian
