the spring town meeting. Just before

the fare to CALIFORNIA; Midwinter Fair.
The round trip from Colorado Springs or
Denver was $35 80, with a choice of
routes by Santa Fe or Denver and Rio
Grande to San Francisco, with dimin-
ished rate to San Diego and Los Angeles,

lose for my vote, so left as soon as possi-
BILE. preferripg the Santa Fe in March to
being blocked by SHOWS on the Rio
Grande.
Spent six weeks in Southern California,
arriving in this city two weeks previous
to the time limited by the ticket. Went
to the ticket broker and sold my return
ticket for $40; could have had more. but
the time was too short for him to risk
more, for my description was given. So
am here yet, and hope to vote If living in
a couple of years in California.

so faithfully labored here the past eight

Many of my readers have read S T.
Arthur's temperance stories, that were
published when the temperance question
was first being agitated. perhaps fifty
years ago. He gave +fnany vivid descrip-
tions of tiie cor6er grocery and it's evi.

truly appalling to mel in my earlier years.

some fruits for their labor in the rising
