DEATH OF DENVER LADY Fn*hetic End of An Old Woman Who Always Helped Others 1 >nce h leader in Trinity Metho dist church, generous with her money to all who needed help,and having the entree to the best so ciety of Denver. Mrs. Conk was buried yesterday i n Fairmont cemetery, with no one except Par- | non Pzzell and a man from the; undertaking establishment present. For years past Mrs Cook has lived through charity orgauiza-j tioas and friends of her deceased husband, once a leading Denver attorney. Flow bitter it must have been, how humiliating to beg a few cents where once she gave with a prodigal hand, is best illustrated by the fact that through all her years of need and want she mr.ed two certificates upon tlie Colorado National bank for S100 in order that she might not tie buried in a pauper's grave. She must have hoarded this in store for tive or six years for it is posi tively known that she could not have saved it or even part of it during this time. For several years past she has received help from Parson Uzzell, when chair man of the board of county com missioners: from Chairman Hays and many of the older attorneys, but she must often have gone hun gry yet refused to touch her $100. It s an illustration of that doc trine of pride which places a pau per s grave above nil other horrors w thy of the pages of literature. Mother ’ Cook, as she was known, had a considerable fortune of her own when she married Cook 40 years ago, having lived here for that length of time. Originally Cook had a tine practice and was an able lawyer. Some 15 years ago. lie began to spend his money freely in fast living. His fortune and that of his wife was disipated and he had to take small cases in the justice courts. Seven years ago he died without a cent in the world. A son, now in a Kansas City hospital, is said to be following in the footsteps of his father. Some time ago Mrs. Cook was ordered off the street by the fire and police board when she at tempted to sell gospel mottoes in order to make some money. That the coldness with which Mrs. Cook was received among the people she used to know, es pecially the old church people with whom she worked, was not accidental is proven by the fact that not a person appeared even to see her buried, although her death was prominently published in the newspapers. Parson Uzzell de clared that there was nothing of the spirit of charity and kindness shown by Mrs. Cook in her for tune days among those with whom she worked, aided or knew, either socially or charitably. But she did not have the religion ol money. —Ex.

HOW ABOUT NEBRASKA A Favorable Comparison of Her Products With Other States “Many very rich things have become so much a matter of course in Nebraska," says Labor Commissioner Ryder, “that they attract no attention whatever, even from our keenest orators. For instance, in all the daily papers we find the Associated Press carrying slug heads re ports of the production of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc in Montana and Arizona; some thing wonderful, it is intimated. Montana leads all the states in silver production, and Arizona is the leader for copper produc. tion. F o r 1907, last figures available as ye t, Montana’s total production of metals is given a value of $57,750,000. Arizona’s production of metals the same year went to a total of $55,511,5(50. “Now I just want to direct at tention to the ligures oi the al falfa, tame grasses and wild hay raised in Nebraska in 1908, and to set ihem over against the value of gold, silver, lead and zinc put out to the world by the two metallurgical splurgers mentioned above. Alfalfa,$14, 778,024; tame hay, $16,909,995; wild hay, $24,398,442: total $56,082,061. Just slightly be hind Montana’s totai for preci ous metals of all kinds, and quite a long lap ahead of Ari zona’s total. “As to usefulness,and amount of labor-employed, no fault can be found with the mirit of these Nebraska crops, either. Hay, and especially alfalfa, of uood quality is as staple in the west ern and eastern markets as any of the metals produced in Mon tana or Arizona. Our capacity as an alfalfa and hay state has not been reached by a long way, whereas the mines of the states farther west are losing, proba bly, in productiveness with ev ery year they are worked. And of course these grass crops are not our main reliance, but sec ondary in a way. Yet they do cut a large figure in the feeding and the putting on the market of the vast numbers of cattle, hogs and sheep that our farmers turn off every year: and they mean ready money in substan tial amounts for every load that is sent to 1oc.tI markets or to terminal points, from whence they are scattered throughout the land. Nebraska- is really great, my masters, and her Christmas tree this year will be a whale.” Lincoln Star.

THE CORN SITUATION A Splendid Report For an '‘Off" Corn Year There has been lots of tine corn gathering weather lately ! and the farmers have been tan- ; ing advantage of it, and getting i in the built of the crop. Little of tile new crop has as yet been offered in market, for the prob. able reason that the owners de sire and expect to realize more than 50 cents a bushel for it. They argue that as the crop of marketable corn is much lighter than usual, there will be a stroner demand for it, especial ly after the early corn of the southern states has been ex hausted. l>ut while our Crop, here in this immediate vicinity is truly a little short, our farm j ers, by looking about a little, I will discover that there are bet j ter crops than usual in some | other sections of the country,! which will, in part at least, j offset the lack of a full crop here, and thus so even up things that they might be disappointed in their calculations. The con dition of the corn crop of the whole country averaged 751 in September and fell to 77 in October; thedecline in condition during one month, being about 2 per cent, while the average decline in September for the past ten years has been a little over one per cent. For the] past ten years the average ol the condition of the corn of the country has been 75b on October 1. However, corn will be a good price. It is a good price now, but it will likelygo higher. The m ills of the country and the stock feeders need it in their business and our wise govern ment has taught many of the countries of the old world the value of it and thus established a foreign demand and market for it. So, farmers, keep on raising corn; raise all you can, tor the dry years are on and there are drouthy sections of the country where the crops willbeslim for the next few years. There will be a demand and a market for all you have to sell. The government author, ities have tigured it out that the greatest crop of America is gas and the second greatest corn The farmers who consider the crop of corn poor thh year and hence better prices will be had, may be surprised to learn that the estimate of the America pro duction ot corn for this year is 2,(542,('>87,000 bushels compared with 2,502,1120,000 last year, an increase over last year of 50, 007,000 bushels, and that all the principal crops of the country this year are better than they ever were, and at nut the volume is ," per cent better than last year.

YOUNG AMERICA S WRONG IDEA. Too Little Appreciation of the D t~ nity of Labor Young America is growing up with too little appreciation of the dignity of labor. This is a funda mental defect in our modern life. Parents and teachers should seek to remedy it by early and constant commendation of common work. The basis of all individual aud communistic happiness is constant employment in congenial a n d useful work, and the youngster should be taught that there is nothing for him in happiness, use fulness or wealth without app.i cation to the employment of bin head and hands. Every tiny w» find among the hoys and girls of our acquaintance a disposition to despise the man who labors with his hands for a living; to look down upon them and upon their eh Idren. This is all wrong;ineipi ent snobbery of the worst sort that should be promptly eradicated. No man has so good a right to tho respect of the community as ho who in any honest employment eats his bread through the sweat of his face, — Ex.
