DELIGHTFUL.
Miss Willis Charms Fine Audience In
Methodist Church. A Night
Of Delight.

There were varying expressions at
the conclusion of Miss Maud Willis
entertainment at the Methodist church
last night. but the general sentiment
was unquestionably that, she was by
far the best elocutionist that has ap-
peared in platform work in this city.
The word elocutionist is misnom-
er, as applied to some who lay claim
TO powers in this direction, it GER
tainly is not with Miss Willis as she
has the gift beyond any possibility of
question.
Perhaps for ourselves we should
have liked to have heard her in some
thing different than the principal Sc
lection for last night, Mrs. Wigs of
the Cabbage Patch" vet for the aud
fence it seemed to please greatly. 1t
gave her large opportunity for dis
play of her powers and she was inim-
liable in her readings of the lady in
the various situations of the piece.
A great many people are at all
times fearful of encou ntering Il
STACY" elocutionist, when invited to
listen to some one they have never
heard. but fears of such an infiiction
are groundless in Miss Willis, because
her extraordinary charming qualities
as all entertainer mark her above the
commonality of entertainers in this
line. Miss Willis has a melodious.
flexible voice and power OF mimicry
which is capable, as was shown in
one number, in translating into words
the songs of the bobolink and yet ut
tering the familiar bird notes as clear
ly as the feathered songster himself.
In humorous recitations she is ire
sistible, and her versatility is proven
in tragic selections and in the inter
pretations of those tender themes
which require the highest type of
ability to properly present. The au-
dience was enthusiastic and would re-
joice at another opportunity to enjoy
such treat

Canon City Writer Compliments Grand
Valley Fruit. People Want Grand
Valley Fruit First.

The Canon City Record. in its con-
tributed editorial department, has an
article on packing fruits, by promi-
nent citizen of that place. which takes
the fruit growers to task for the man
ner in which they have been packing
their apples. He says that the Canon
City people have been trying to foist
No 2 apples on the market for No. l..
and that they are packed in very
inferior manner.
The writer pays compliment to
the Grand Junction product for the
manner in which our fruit is packed
as follows:
In the markets today the products
of the orchards of Canon City are
only taken when they cannot get the
fruit from some other section, not be-
cause our fruit is not as good but be-
cause it is not carefully packed. L.
myself, have talked to merchants in
Cripple Greek. Denver. Colorado
Springs and Pueblo. who have all told
me that at even prices they will buy
Grand Junction fruit every time, not
because the fruit is finer or better,
only because they know what they
were getting The time has gone by
in Colorado when we can sell any
old thing -
From this testimony it must be
true that the Fruit Growers associa-
tion and the independent shippers of
the valley are sending out prime fruit
and that tits we'll packed. It is a
good reputation to have ON the mark
cts. not only of the state. but of the
entire section which purchases our
fruit

IN HONOR or GUEST.

There was delightful entertain
ment given last evening at the east
end home of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ L. Rob
erts, when the Metropolitan club was
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Rober ts,
in honor of their neice. Miss Lillian
Moody, who has been spending some
time in this city.
Besides the regular members of the
club there was quite large contin-
gent of young folks present in honor
of Miss Moody.
The large porches which surround
the home of the Roberts were lighted
with electric bulbs and Japanese lam
terms, the latter adding a very de-
ghtful effect to the home.
Cards, music, dancing and de-
lightful supper were small part of
the entertainment of the evening.
The successful winner of the gentle
mems prize was s. W. Moody and of
the ladies prize. Miss Eugena Kelly.
The BOBBY prizes were won respective
lv by Miss Agnes Morrissey and Mr..
j. NJ. Graham.
The evening was most pleasantly
spent bv all present, this being the
general expression of the departing
guests to the hostess and host.

added:
But what have told you wouldn't do you

On the other hand, the Englishman makes the

Laws are usually judged by the results that
they produce, yet they have curious cOnnec-
ton with the place where they are administered,
and the appearance of the courts in any land is
usually somewhat in harmony with the char
aCter Of the laws.
The General Imperial Court in Constantinople,
where Mosem law is enforced. is establish
ment worthy of attention. This centre of So
called justice stands under the shadow of Saint
Sophia the Mahometan mosque, for prayer and
justice should ever go hand i'll hand. and it con-
lists Of a large number of different courts, all
r.Iated in one rambling old wooden building.
The building is old, but the standpoint of the
Turkish law is still older, and neither of them
shows any adaptation to the conditions of mod
life seen in other lands.
The law of Islam is d very original prOduc-
ton, and historical development only
of MCslem law was the Koran in which Ma
homet tried to provide for all possible legal
contingencies. Cases arose, however,
which did not come under the laws of the
Koran, and for these new cases traditions fur
nished by the friends of Mahomet, who claimed
TO know his opinions, became the law. These
traditions were recorded in pOnderous Arabic
books, and were added to from time to time
especially during the regns of the first four
caliphs There are several different schools of
Moslem tradition. and in these treatises Of Ma
