There was something doin' at the
meeting of the Women of woodcraft

business session and that was followed
by an entertainment. which furnished
much pleasure and amusement for
those present.
The entertainment was provided by
the "A's'' and Bis of the order.
and was the first of the series which
it is proposed to have for the winter.
The program consisted of minstrel
performance. and was we'll gotten up.
There were eight ladies. and their

There was first solo by Dinah

Mrs. Ackerman. who was to have
been the interlocutor. was taken ill
at a late hour. and could not be pres

John Brainerd. in most acceptable
manner. Mrs BraiDerd was full of
the spirit of the occasion, and made a
very good joke master. The music
for the accomplishments was furnish
ed by Mrs. s. r. voils. The ragtime
music for the songs and the dane
ing was played by Miss Andersen.
Some of the jokes were very funny.

Would Give Them a Whirl.

Very recently DR.. E. F. Eld=idge
solved a very difficult rebus for the
Brown Book. a famous Boston publi-
cation. 1t was a geographical rebus
and was difficult. For the solution
of the rebus. a prize of considerable
proportion was offered. In a spirit
of fun DR.. Eldridge priding himself
upon geographical knowledge. sat
down and solved the rebus readily and
sent his answer to Boston at once.
This morning DIR. EldridRe received a
letter from the house publishing the
Brown Book stating that his answer
was correct one and about the only
one that was correct but that they
could not cons slider it. because it had
arrived too late. DR.. Eldrldge says
that the answer did not arrive too
late. but like all other concerns who
offer prizes for solutions Of different
matter, they find some way to get out
of paying for them. The doctor
state that he wishes he was little
closer to Boston town and he would
give them hirl through the courts
just for little amusement.

'1CHASERS"
The Rainbow Variety, The
Subject of Bob Burdeffe's
Lecture Last Niqhf.

As Robert j. Burdette stated when
he came upon the platform last night.
there was inspiration in such an au-
dience that had gathered to near his
lecture Rainbow Chasers - He was
evidently as much pleased as the man
ayers of the Lyceum course that. there
were SO many people in this city that
had shown their appreciation of first
class Lyceum course by purchasing
season tickets.
Robert J. Burdette has not aged in
the last ten years, even little bit.
His rich and sensible and wholesome
humor must be a tonic that keeps his
face young. He never pleased an au-
dience better than he did last night.
Hereafter we shall have more re-
spect for Rainbow Chasers than ever
before. If we see man dreaming
away his life. we will not soy one
word, because he may be solving
something to benefit the world. Mr..
Burdette took his audience through
the whole realm of rainbow chasing
last night. His pictures sometimes
were pathetic at other times humor-
Gus. He could, whenever he willed,
convulse his audience with laughter.
He gave a most graphic picture of
the successive stages which has
brought electricity up to its use in
the world at the present time. He in
terestingly told of the laying of the
Atlantic cable and in fact pictured all
the great things which had been ac-
complished by man. who had lived
several generations in advance of his
time
Throughout the entire lecture it
was instructive and delightful. Any
one who hears Burdette. goes home
carrying something with him to di-
gest. He is one of those who look
up and not down in this world He
had little regard for that individual
who assumed superior intelligence be-
cause he was looking tow ard his
boots. This is most pleasing way
of attempting to attract the attention
of people. to believe that very won
derful thoughts are passing through
that mans brain. whose abstracation
makes him look toward his boots.
His new song was to look up. He
said that God had given man the priv
ilege of looking toward the stars and
he could see no rea son why he should
prefer the distance to his boots. as the
ground was then the line of his Wis.,
ion, where if he looked up he could
look 275 times the distance of the sun
from the earth, which was ninty five
millions of miles. This look would
focus our eye upon some of the in
Vulnerable planets which filled the
blue vault of the SKY. D.rI
He went along on this strain until
he had every one of his audience be-
lieving that hereafter they would be
looking for rainbows.
His peroration was delightful and
worth going long distance to hear.
His reference to the fact that Holy
Writ made reference to the rainbow
as a covenant of hope for moral man.
was grand thought and one to be re-
membered. The people of Grand
Junction are better for having heard
Bob Burdette.

this Sir Thomas has added n signifl
cant statement: THE new challenger.
which represents the best boat build
ers in England, will lift the cup 1
think, but If she doesn't. well, I'll
try no more"
This conclusion Upton has reach
ed because he believes that Ameri-
can supremacy in yachting does not
lie In yacht building, but in seaman
ship that the Yankees who handle
the defenders are more skillful sail
ors than the Britons. who manage the
challengers.
1t was universally admitted that
Shamrock III. was the more beautiful
boat of the two in the last series
OF races, that she WAS built on finer
lines and that If she had been sailed
by the crew that manned her Yankee
opponent she would have carried
away the cup.
This time, as before. Upton is full
of confidence. but 1t Is a confidence
whose future depends absolutely on
the outcome of the approaching con
test for the cup.

ner Members are invited to render
their appearance as attractive as pos

duct.
2. Members are compelled by the
law of the society (a) to be entirely
proof against the charms CD of man,
Co to have a wholesome contempt of
falling in love, (c) to abhor marriage.
There are fines of $25 and down
wards for breaking these command
ments-and ever so many more. Each

he sunk what, to anyone but so rich
a man as he, would be a vast fortune
in unsuccessful efforts to lift Ameri-

bill for the third attempt, which will
take place next August, he will have
spent something over 100000, all
for his great love of sport.
A magnificent race he put up when
Shamrock /. was the challenger, and
a more masterful struggle still, with
victory still closer to his grasp, was
the contest of two years ago, when
Shamrock II. suffered defeat.
Shamrock III. has just been launch

purpose:
Members Of our noble order are
not debarred from comforting their
friendship on the opposite sex; but
the friendship must be absolutely
free from sentiment and everything
that appertains to that undesirable
state of being. Another great ad-
vantage which members will have
over the majority of young ladies will
be the entire independence of their
position and the freedom which they
will experience in the course of every

well-earned pleasure.

Charlie Fredericks, are due to arrive
in the city shortly. They write that
the kid is in shape to make the
battle Of his life. He has met and
defeated three men since leaving here
and they have all been considered
good in the lightweight class. The
Eredericks-Lewis bout is attracting
considerable attention and as it is
understood the go will continue until
one or the otner of the fighters can
be given a decision the interest is
multiplied. Dude Lewis, colored
lightweight champion of the north
west, Is getting into shape for the
battle and under the instruction Of
Jones, who is training him, has pick
ed up wonderfully in the science of
the game. His principal work now
Is in obtaining q guard for his stom-
ach, which was walloped so thorough
ly during the last match with the
"kid." The colored man is confident
and Lewis money Is becoming plenti-
full. During all his fights Lewis has
shown himself the grittiest kind of
o fighter and Is not gutter, although
he has been badly thumped at times.
