The Marble times and Crystal silver lance., 1901-02-01

supplied.
D. p. Mccarthy expects in few
days to be able to canvas Redstone
and surrounding towns in the interests
of the publications he represents. He
hopes especially to be able to make a
good showing for the publisher of THE
MARBLE TIMES, as it is the only re-
preventative paper of this section.
We regret to state that the univers al
complaint-la grippe, has visited Mr..
Faust's family, but little Miss Ruth is
almost fully recovered and Mr.. Faust
fairly launched on the way.
Your correspondent, who is just re-
covering from the most protracted i'll
ness of life time, was kindly taken
in hand by Mr.. John Brady and taken
to Hot Springs on Sunday. We not
only enjoyed the baths, but pleasant
visit with Mr.. Andrew Faust and fam
lily and most appetizing dinner. As
we have been living on humming
birds fare for over three weeks, this
was not only relishable, but surpris-
ingly enjoyable.
In one of last Sundays Denver pap
ers there is what purports to be a
fancy picture, "The Truant Rocky
Mountain Lambs" There are some
pretty verses by James Barton Adams.
Mr.. Adams might have made his lines
more pathetic, had he learned the fate
of the ''tru uants." The picture is from
real life. and the lady ministering to
their wants is Mrs. Evan D. Jones of
this city. The lambs are the two cap
tured by Chas. A. Smith in this vicini-
ty early last summer for buffalo"
Jones; they both died on their way to
the National Capitol from improper
nourishment. They were destined for
the Smithsonian Institute. At the cost
of life, they have purchased death
less fame and will live in song and
story. In Harper's Weekly of Jan.
3rd appears "story" OF their cap
ture, and it is more fairy-like and
fictitious than anything in the Arabian
Nights.
A notable surprise was that given
Coke Supt. Whitsell at his rooms on
the East Side on Saturday evening.
Many of his fellow officers of the COM
pany were present and some of the
workmen.
Mr.. Glib initiated the pleasures OF
the evening by remarking that after
the labors of the day were ended, there
was no good reason why Redstone
should not shine socially.
GAN work and no play,
| Made Jack dull boy"
"The officers OF this camp appreci-
ated work we'll and zealously done,
and social tributes should be paid to
the deserving"
A most enjoyabl evening was spent
in social converse, the relation OF
story and anecdote, with q plentiful
sprinkling of wit and repartee. Fine
music and song from the Pleasant
Quartette Club enlivened and embelish-
ed the occasion, the entire company
joining in the choruses.
The toast: "Supt. Whitsell," was
responded to by workman, who said !:
Labor was under lasting obligations
to the C. f. & 1. Co. for the splendid
lot of officers furnished this camp.
One and all, they appreciated duty
we'll done and had hand and heart
for the humblest toiler. After Mr..
Whitsell's advent among us the coke
ovens were not only made to look ap-
pealingly Coal Basin wards, but also
at his brother officers, Supt. Cornell,
Master Mechanic Glib and Supt.
Gritfiths. Now train load of coal
and sometimes two trains arrived
daily, and coke with considerable less
than 10 per cent. of ash-the finest in
the world-was being manufactured.
Mr.. W. said little, but sawed i'm
mense quantities of wood. After all,
one of the worlds favorites was a
quiet man, and our Coke Superintend-
ent was one of these favorites.
The toast was drank standing by the
entire company, and in strictly pure
American beverage, and although Red
stone has q supply of the finest water
in the world, it wasn't drank in water
either.

from the Co. store, being compelled to
