card tables, and when it came time to
count up it was found that Mrs. John
Symington and Mr.. Francis Baker had
carried off the BOBBY prizes, while Mrs.
Laughlin won the lady's first prize and
DR.. Eggert the gentleman's first prize.
The dainty little dining hall never looked
more complete than when the guests sat
down at table. The floral decorations
were very beautiful, white and pink
roses appearing everywhere amidst fes-
toons and garlands of smilax. There
were corsage bouq uets and bouttonieres
at every plate, and the hour at table was
not the least enjoyable feature of the
gathering. Later there was some
excellent music, both instrumental
and vocal, by Mrs. G.. W. Knaebel,
Mr.. Knaebel, Mr.. Twitchell
and others. Those present we're: Col.
and Mrs. Pearson, Miss Bland, DR.. and
Mrs. Symingtnn, Mrs. j. T. Kirkman,
Capt. VIM. Paulding, Mr.. Laughlin and
wife, Major Baker and Mrs. Baker, Mr..
Baker and Miss Baker, Mr.. and Mrs.
Twitchell, Mr.. Geo. Knaebel and wife, DR..
Eggert, Herbert Fiske.

Colorado's law makers have returned
from New Mexico and are again in their
seats in the assembly building some wear
ing peculiar expressions, as if their
memory, drifted away to some fair seno-
rita, whose dark type of beauty and
graceful motion in the ball room had won
their admiration, while others seem only
refreshed by the trip, and take to their
work with a vigor that would indicate
that the jaunt might in some way be
beneficial. = X y s. R. Fitzgerald
who joined the Indian band and made as
much noise with the drum as anybody
seemed greatly displeased at leaving
Santa Fe. He formed great attachment
for something about the quaint old city
and it is presumed that it was the dane
ing that attracted his attention, for at
various times on the return trip he would
suddenly break out and begin the wild
weird dance, when the laughter of his
friends in the car would call his mind
back to his surroundings, and he would
subside in bushes of onfusion.-Denver

| THE COWBOYS HYMN.
Copyrighted by Author.)
Last night as lay on the prairie
Looking up at the stars in the sky,
l wondered If ever cowboy
Would go there in the sweet by and by.
The trail to that dim, mystic region
Is both narrow and dim, they say,
| But the broad one that leads to perdition
Is posted and blazed all the way.
1 wondered whose fault that so many
Were lost at the great final sale,
When they might have been rich and had
plenty
Had they known Of this dim narrow
trail.
I have heard there will be grand round
up,
When the cowboy with others will stand,
To be cut by the rider of judgment
Who is posted and knows every brand.
Then perhaps there may be a cowboy,
Unbranded, unclaimed and denied.
To be mavericked by the rider of judg-
ment yef ne
And shipped to the sweet by and by.
