When the time fer swimmin's over, then Pm
waitin' for the snow,
N when the snow is fallin' n amt got no
new sled,
1t seems to me that Christmas is long,
long ways ahead,
N when Christmas gets here all the snow is
off the ground,
N JUS keep a-watin' for my birthday to
come round,
But that don't never last long, n when It's
gone away
I've got to just sit down again n wait for
circus day.

The reader OF this item should keep in
remembrance the old proverb that
people are seldom so black as they are
painted" From one of the popular
novels OF the day the following pertinent
and truthful paragraph is extracted: 81
will tell you secret every one likes to
make money. Even clergymen feel it
their duty to accept call from the con-
gregation which offers the best salary,
and probing men Of science do not hest
tate to reap the harvest f,om wonder
full invention or discovery. Yet it is the
fashion with most Of the people in this
country who possess little to prate about
the wickedness Of money -getters and to
think evil OF the rich. That proceeds
chiefly from envy ard ia sheer cant. The
people Of the United States are engaged
in an eager struggle to gain individual
distinction, comfort and success The
markets OF the large cities are the best
places to dispose Of ones wares. The
world pays well for what it wants-and
the world is pretty just in the long rum"
John Ruskin has beautifully said:
"There is no music ina rest, but there is
the making OF music in it. In our whole
life melody tho music is broken OF here
and there by rests and we foolishly
think we have come to the end Of the
tune. God sends a time OF forced
leisure, sickness, disappointed plans,
frustrated efforts, and makes a sudden
pause in the choral hymn OF our lives,
and We lament that our voices must be
silent and our part missing in the music
which ever goes up to the ear OF the
Creator. See him beat the time with
unvarying count, and catch up the next
note as il no breaking place had come
between us. Not without design does
God write the music OF our lives. Be it
ours to learn the tune and be dismayed
at the rests They are not to be omit
ted. II we look up, God himself will
beat the time for US. With the eye on
Him we shall strike the next note full
and clear"
Secret societies are popular in Grand
Junction and few towns in the west can
boast Of as many lodges. Look over the
list of the different lodges-notice the
large membership and you will be con-
vinced that such organizations are very
popular. A man or woman once becom-
ing member of ono OF these never will
ingly gives it up-showing it's effects are
beneficial socially and financially. A
lodge does not advertise the good work
and kind deeds it is doing, but an unob
trusive yet ever watchful care is shown
for the welfare of its members. Social
clubs and church societies are a boon to
the young people as we'll, and supply a
source of amusement for long winter
evenings where otherwise there would be
dearth of amusement. Some few op-
pose secret societies, but these have a
misconception as to the true meaning
and good such organizations do in q com
munity.
