THE GOLD PLATED GIRL.

Colorado's golden girl is exciting
comment in the East as well as in
the West, and in many cases it is
made the object of ridicule by
those who know the history of
Montana's silver girl. The New
York Sun debates the question of
what is characteristic dress" as
specified by the commissioners and
suggests that to be thoroughly
American the girl must wear a
shirt waist.
"But if the Colorado commits
sioners wish to do the proper thing
they will put their golden girl in n
shirt waist, pink preferred, for the
Coloradoans will want her in colors
gold or no gold The American
girl in n shirt waist is fetching be-
yond the power of speech or the
cunning of n painters brush. 1t
is characteristic garment and is
known from Passamaquoddy to the
Gila river and from the Cliff house
to Coney Island. 1t can be no OBJ
lection that the Colorado girl will
be million dollar girl; the waist
is common to all stations of life
and is as tasteful as it is inexpens-
i've. There is no dress more char
acteristic. They wear it even in
Boston, the board of aldermen APP
proving. If Macmonnies had put
his Bacchante into shirt waist
Boston would have taken the cre-
alton to her arms and all would
have been forgiven. When the
commissioners of the Centennial
State come to think it over they
decide for the shirt waist. 1t
doesn't matter about other details.
Any skirt goes with it, and no one
will notice whether the golden girl
wears lace shoes or buttoned shoes,
For neckwear stand up collar and
a four in hand tie made up from
the American flag would pro badly
be the thing If she is to be char
acteristically dressed fashion plates
avaunt and let it be without the
consent of any other nation.

THAT pEskY BUG.

Sumner, the Komical Kuss who
presides over the "high altitude
column of the San Miguel Exam
iner, copies the following from the
Denver Post:
"The author of this verse is un-
known, but suspicion is pointing
one fiuger at Sumner of Tellurine
and another of Greenawalt at Flor
ence:
"rhat pesky bug that's coming West
And feeding onto female lips
Had better use discretion, lest
1t at a dangerous fountain sips.
We have no mortgage on the ros-
Y portal nit; but all the same
Wen not permit no bug to nose
Around our osculauon claim"
And then to turn suspicion away
from Telluride he springs this jim
gle on long forbearing public:
"Yes, Brother James, the bug may come,
Our girls will bring it to halt
By showing they have had enough
But none to spare-for Greenawalt"
In this time of trusts of every
kind there should be no kick com
ing if even an editor should get a
corner on good thing, and even
Thorndyke, who has been SO often
prosecuted for libelousness' sake,
wouldn't pass it up. But
We have no special brand to place
Upon the rosy portal" Nope!
Nor would we ever shame our face
To cen pretty maverick rope.
But what's the use of givin' in
To dodgasted kissin' bug;
For Sumner says they'll never win
Without their KNOWN how to hug.
