What the Choir Sang About the
New Bonnet.

A foolish little maiden bought foolish
little bonnet
With a ribbon and feather ana bit Of
lace upon 1t;
And that the other madens OF the little
town might know 1t, -
She thought she'd go to meeting next
Sunday just to show 1t.
But though the little bonnet was scarce
larger than dime,
Tho getting Of 1t settled proved to be
work Of time:
So when twas fairly tied all the bells
had stopped their ringing,
And when she came TO meeting, sure
enough the folks were singing,
So this foolish little maiden stood and
waited at the door,
And she shook her ruftles out behind and
smoothed them out before;
"Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" sang the choir
above her head.
Hardly knew you! Hardly knew you!'
We're the words she thought they
said.
This made tho little maid feel so very,
very cross
That she gave her little mouth twist,
her little head a toss,
For she thought the very hymn they
sang was all about her bonnet
| With the ribbon and the feather and the
bit Of lace upon It,
And she would not walt to listen to the
sermon or the prayer,
! But pattered down tho silent street and
hurried up the stair.
| TIL she reached her little bureau, and IN
a bandbox on 1t
| Had hidden safe from critics eye her
foolish little bonnet.
| Which proves, my little ma'dehs, thai
|, each Of YOU Will find
In every Sabbath service but an echo
1 of your mind:

silly little airs

L. X. Henahen, who has been absent
from this city for some time, returned
last Saturday and was the guest of Mar
shal O'Rourke and family. Mrs. Hena-
hen and the children have gone east for
the summer, waiting for Mr.. Henahen to
decide whether he will locate in Mont
rose or in Denver Itappears that he has
been offered the position of supefintend-
ing the tunnel work upon the Moffat
railroad that is being done under con-
tract by Ex-Governor James. B. Orman,
the latter having twelve of the twenty
contracts for tunneling upon that line
and is also one of the numerous bidders
for the two and one-half miles tunnel
contract that is now being considered
While the position and salary are great
inducemeut, still Mr.. Henahen has his
bid in for running the big irrigation bore
at Montrose, which was begun under a
state appropriation of SIS, 600, but later
was assumed by the national government
This tunnel will be of great magnitude
SIX miles in length, I2xI2 feet in the
clear, and 1900 feet will be solidly
timbered and cemented. The machinery
alone required for driving the tunnel will
cost SI4o, 900, a conservative estimate.
This gives some idea of what the work of
irrigating that section of country will
cost the government.
