Old Times in Colorado.

The first settlers Of Boulder came
here in 1858. In 1889 quite n number
came, and some sixty log houses were
erected before 1860 stepped in. or
these log houses but II few remain.
Christmas, 1850, saw u jovial crowd Of
dancers in one Of these houses, window
less, we believe, at that time. The
hardy pioneers when after fun had it,.
On the night i'll question about two
hundred sons Of the toll and seekers o.
gold and their fortunes and seventeen
ladies had assembled ut the above
named place to partake Of frontier
terIsiChOrean. Marinu5 G.. Smith was
then one of the beaux Of the town, and
his dress suit consisted Of pair Of
pants made out Of seamless sacks, and
colorcd blue BY the aid Of logwood. a
lady now living in town had III elegant
dress made out OF flour sacks, also color
cd by the aid Of loowood. There were
few white shirts i'll the neighborhood
then, most Of the pioneers wearing wool
en- or flannel ones a man with u white
shirt On was il style, and could dance
with his coat off; man without any
would wear coat buttoncd up to the
neck
Coats for dancing purposes did not
seem to he any too numerous, conse-
qnently the pioneers helped each
other out For instance, Alf Nichols
had six white shirts, which were nil at
the ball, and the coats Of these six white
shlrtcd fellows went to cover the backs
Of some one else. When one fellow had
had dance he would loan his coat to
another, and then his turn would come.
and SO the white shirts and long coats
were dancing all night, and went around
among the two hundred men. There
were no wall-ilowers among the seven
teen ladies. But they say the supper
for the occasion was grand affair.
Wash-bolers full Of coffee. great hunks
Of black-taied deer, jack rabbits, fish.
game, and deieaccs brought from the
states in cans, all went up to make a
glorious supper one that the partakers
would like to see repeated. There may
