The circus crowd Is the biggest
part of the show, and not the least
entertaining. It is an interesting
study to scrutiniZe the circus crowd,
for it presents humanity in all its
phazes. The country deacon and
the town dude; the rustic rural dam
sci and her more stylish city sister /;
the long green country zap who
walks all over your feet or knocks
you out of his way without ever see
ing you or caring continental darn,
and the smart Alex of the city who
puffs his cigarette smoke in your
face and cracks his rubber neck
jokes to the disgust of all but his
kind. Then there is sweet old
country couple, hand in hand, in
truding upon nobody, thinking of
nobody, just looking at the circus
and laughing and nudging each 9TH
er, and enjoying the sights to the
very fullest; and more stylish
pair, who laugh at the simple old
country couple, but envy them who
are half crazy and half starved fer
one hour of just such companiOnship
as this old country couple are now en-.
joying; who would give half their
diamonds and all their silks, to walk
unobserved along some country lane,
hand in hand, and love and be loved ;
for the human heart, whether 1t
beats beneath the PEASANTS frock or
the royal gown of princess, Graves
to be loved; and unless it is, it be-
comes sordid, selfish thing, and
drivels up to utter nOthingness.
They were all here yesterday; these
nothings, and the child of nature
and If the laugh of one warmed the
soul of the other, then perhaps the
circus did not come in vain.

ONE reason of the lethargy in
Democratic circles this year, is due
to the Estes fee bill and Jarvis law,
two of the best laws ever put upon
the statute books. But these laws,
while good for the people are hurt
full to the office holders; hence,
many of these aforesaid office
holders are sulking in their tents,
We have this from the mouth of one
of them. 1t is fair to say, however,
lest we be misunderstood, that his
home is not in Maury. 1t is shame
that these pie grabbers will not
assume the virtue of gratitude, even
if they have it not. Not content
with having the offices they asked
not satisfied with the salary as fixed
before they were elected; not will
ing to accept two or three or four
times what they were getting before

THE VICTIM OF
COLD AND HUNGER
Ten Year old Boy Frozen to Death
In Saturdays Storm
WAS LOST IN THE HILLS

At Deibert's morgue lies the
dead body of ten year old boy
who persisted in Saturday nights
storm.
Last June John Calm left his
wife in Pueblo, and in company
with Mrs. Liblin and her five
children, moved to this county in
one horse wagon. Mrs. Liblin's
husband was not invited and SO
far as is known is still in Pueblo.
Mr.. Gain and Mrs. Liblin, who
are Germans, are employed on the
ranch of one Washmood, about
six miles west of Florence, where
they with three of the children
live in a one room shanty. The
oldest girl, IL years of age, is en-
ployed in the home of Mr.. Flu
gift at Coal Creek.
Last Saturday morning, Calm
and the 10 year old boy came TO
Florence with load of wood.
They did not succeed in selling
the wood until about 6 o'clock
when they started for home. 1t
will be remembered that a cold
rain was falling even then, and
that later it turned into wet
snow.
According to Gains story,
when not more than q half mile
from home the horse turned into a
wrong road, and as it was very
dark they became entirely lost.
The boy was scantily clothed, and
had eaten nothing since break
fast. He WAS wet to the skin and
soon became numb, and finally
unconscious. Calm says he held
the boy in his arms trying to warm
him, but about 3 O'Clock the little
fellow died. The old man then
placed the body on bare spot
under tree, and watched beside
it until morning. He then started
toward his home and was met on
the way by a party from the
ranch who had started in search
of thera Cain himself was
nearly frozen, but he directed the
ranchmen to the dead body of the
child, and it was taken back to
what was once its home.
No divorce exists for either
Calm or the woman who is his
housekeeper. The children, all
but the youngest, are of school age
and no doubt will be looked after
by the proper authorities.
Coroner Baker will hold an in
quest tomorrow, and the ques tior
of post norton examination is
being considered as we go te
press.
