Environments of Literary Folk.

Great preparations are being made
for the coming state fair at Pueblo
this fall Every part of the state will
undoubtedly be represented and this
part of the great southwest should not
fall behind other parts of Colorado in
the way of a display of our resources.
Thousands of visitors will attend the
fair and to most of them a good show
ing from this section will be reve-
lation. AS an advertisement nothing
could be better and it is to be sim
cerely hoped that we will not be be-
hind other portions and our neighbors
farther north. The enterprising cit
izens of the "Pittsburg of the West"
deserve much credit for their efforts
in the direction of state fair, and
their extensive arrangements being
made for the event indicate that it
will be something far beyond the or
dinary in this line. Let Southwestern
Colorado be well represented at Pu-
eblo.

woman came in alone She returned
the application and said she wanted
her certificate now.

are married" she was told
'Oh. yes, but we are married." she
said.
Who married you?"
"Oh. the Father over here"
AS 1t turned out, they were not
married at all. They had evidently
read the application over and decided
that all they had to do was to get the
certificate. Then 1t wouldn't cost
them anything.
mo, she didn't get it, of course
and what's more. we haven't heard
anything of the couple since. 1t is
very difficult to make them understand
even the simple process involved in
getting married.
Last winter an incident occurred
which probably was not so entertain
