The oyster is noble fish.
But he cannot swim mite;
He has no ins. he has no tail.

And yet. tits strange to say.
He never glides about the seas.

The improvement in the times is well
illustrated in this story told on Kansas

L. r. Hawkins, of Canon City,
young gentleman who is not very re-
motely connected with the l5assick
coal mines in Fremont county, honored
Westcliffe with visist, his first, last
Wednesday. Accompanying him was
Marchal J. Porter, a very excellent and
amiable young gentleman, resident
of the Gate City.-Wet Mountain Trib-
une.
Leon F. Weeden departed Tuesday
afternoon for his home at Syracuse,
Illinois. The cause of Mr.. Weeden's
return to Illinois is slight failure in
health. Mr.. Weeden has been in Canon
for more than two years and we feel
free to say that no stranger ever came
to Canon who made more friends than
he. His going will mean severe loss
to the music circles here where he is
valued not only for his true manhood
but for his wonderful knowledge and
skill as musician. The best wishes
of all Canon go with him. Mr.. Weeden
was accompanied by his father who has
been with him several days

of Mrs. King and Mr.. Taggart, of the
NJ. E. church. The program was quite
good, Misses Grace Dale and Laura
Green. Mrs. Martin and Mr. Lee Haas
comprising the principals Mrs. Mar
tin, always pleasing and interesting,
was in fine form and her rendition of
the "!Stage struck Girl was excellent.
Miss Green's instrumental solo was well
executed and likewise received

A. b. Noxon, bicycle trainer. of Colo
radO Springs, was III the city Monday
and Tuesday seeking to arrange race
with the fastest of our boys, but was
unable to do so although his conditions
were apparently reasonable. This Mr..
Noxton evidently wasn't particular how
vi "loh ne ues upon or lie WAS very
shrewd fellow and knew exactly what
he was doing. He offered to wager
$500 that Graham could defeat john
Hardenbergh inja five-mile wheel race.
But the eyes of our would-be sports
were opened wide when he offered to
post any part of 81 900 that Way G
West, the RECORDS genuemany young
runner, could best any sprinter in the
state at 75, $50 or 220 yards.
