COLORADO IS DELIGHTED

The eXcurSi0n1StS or the AlaDduld IIe'S Association were at Colorado Springs last Monday, and concerning Alabamas s ab- sent loved ones," the Colorado Springs Gazette gossips most entertainingly. The Gazette proceeds to say:
 Tee -ta-tee-ta-t tee -tetete. Oh, they took me down to the cotton field, etc.
 "A low mellow voice rose above the bubble of questions, 'ha' has and excla- nations of delight as fifty heads popped out of the car windows and a number of stentorian voices asked: Air we heah at Colorado Springs at last?' Other exclama- tions of 'Aint this grand night? and oh, if we had those maoutains daown sauoth' came in abundance. But the low mellow voice that hummed Mammys Little Ala bama Coon still hummed away, occasion ally bursting out in the words, and the stranger craned his neck and eibewed Tn to get glimpse of the face
 ..At last the view came. transparent complexion, fluffy brown hair, delieateiy moulded features and dropping eyelids With long, graceful lasfles, presented a most at- traetive picture. A pair of pretty red lips of perfect contour, held together as IL srnothering the sweetest music that ever rolled from a dainty Southern mouth on moonIit porch. The little turban that served as headgear for this vision of loVellness, tilted to one side the eyelids dropped ana the hun1mng grew fainter, fainter, finally ceasing. as the graceful neck grew limp and the lovely head fell back against the Pullman seat She was asleep, and
 -But never mind about the picture. The Alabama editors have 'arriv' and will re- main in this vicinity for three days.
 And such lot of Southern gentlemen, polished, polite, and full of good humor and running over with vigor, as they got higher in the worlds attitudes. Some or them have not much higher to go in the rewspaper profession, for Alabama editors as a. whole are the most brilliant and wide ly known of any State association In Amer iea. When the Rio Grande train from Dem yer came in at 1927 last night sixty gentle- men and seventy-two ladies came with It. They remained on the platform but few minutes however, for their cars were soon taken to Manitou where the entire party W. be ouartered at the Mansions. During today and tomorrow they will visit the
 
 erns. Cheyenne canon and other points of interest in the vicinity
 ''The Pike's Peak Press Club and the Chamber of Commerce have arranged en- tertainment for them in Colorado Springs. At the, Chamber of Commerce rooms, NO. l Pikes Peak avenue, throughout the day and evening, the editors will find some things to contrast with the warm, dusty roads to the resorts, and they will all md a royal welcome by the reception commit tee of the club and Secretary McClurg Of the Chamber of Commerce.
 "The gala event of their visit will be tlissi evening at the Broadmeor Casino The Press Club has scheduled & ball in honor of the visitors, whose badges will be hon. ored at the gates. After O clock this even ing the street car conductors will honor the badges between Manitou and the ca sino so that the trip to the place of at traction and favors there will be strictly complimentary The usual admission fee will be charged the. general public of which there will doubtless be a big attend ance.
 This junlzet of the Alabama editors is. not exactly a common every day thing, but the Alabama Press Association makes a sort of society event of its annual trip, and this time the chivalrous gentlemen from the sunny south have brought more than their own number in ladies. Among them are typical Alabama beauties, whose attractive points are not to be attempted by every day writers. Some of the little beauties were asleep when the train ar rived last night but the mem were on guard.
 'Everybody would rather be anybody but J. A Rountree secretary of the asso ciation who is attending the duties of President Rhodes, the latter having been detained at home. But if everybody had good nature and other amiaI,Ie traits like MT. Rountree there would not be any strife in the world Little Asa Rountree, Jr, aged 8 years, slumbered on the seat by his nurse, but he is said to be the lfyeliest of the bunch during the daytime He is the mascot of the association.
 .sThere have been beared hdies, and men with whiskers to the floor, but J. Q. Ralph's moustaehe is what newsboy par lance would define as a "corker" The vegetation OH his upper lip measures ten inches, and if measured like the eagles wings, would probably show P inches. But Mir. Ralph is not an AlkaH Ike nor Diamond Dick; he is simply an Alabama gentleman, who is known from one end of the State to the other.
 Among the ladies of the party are belles and brides and the whole of the lot is so joviaI, hearty and full of fun that one nat urally wishes Colorado Democrats could take lessons from Alabama and not show their teeth among themselves so much
