CUPID ON STRIKE
NOTHING DOING" FOR GOD OF
LOVE IN HOT WEATHER
DURING JULY.
Marriage Record for Month Shows
Only Twenty-nine Licenses Were Is
sued-clerk Michael Tells Why the
Number Is so Light.

The marriage record as compiled by
County Clerk H. w. Michael shows
that the month of July was an excep-
tionally light one. There were but
twenty-nine licenses issued. Clerk
Michael says that it is his opinion and
and he has the official records to back
up his belief, that cupid is lazy bay
and has decided antipathy to working
when the weather is SO extremely hot
as it has been for the greater part of
ings are cool and strolling in the
fellow gets busy" and daily rolls up
three or four license fees to the credit
of the county. According to Clerk
Michael cupid is constitutionally OPP
posed to earning his living by the
sweat of his brow and when hot
weather comes he deliberately lays
down on his job and waits for cooler
weather..
The record for the month is as fol-
lows:

DENVER & RIO GRANDE
To LAY Third RAIL
Connecting Link for Standard
Gauge System from Denver to
Santa Fe Will Soon Be Estdb-
Iished-Through Trains to
El paSO.

Antonito to Santa Fe has practically
been satisfactorily disposed of by the
powers that be Of the Denver & Rio
Grande system, and look forward to
the work being started at any time.
The opening of the Santa Fe Central
system supplies the missing link OF
the through traffic via the Denver &
Rio Grande and the Ell Paso & North
eastern systems from Colorado's CAPT
tai to Ell Paso, and the Denver d RlC
Grande officials are awake to the ad
vantages to be derived both by the pas
senaer and freight departments, by
the operation of through standard
gauge trains, with Pullman service for
the passenger traffic, from Denver to
Ell Paso.
81 predict that another year will
mark the operation of a through pass
enger and freight service from Denver
to Ell Paso, via this city as the heavy
freight traffic of the Santa Fe division
of the Denver & Rio Grande demands
quicker and better facilities for hand
ling, than the transferring now neceS
sary from the narrow gauge to fiat cars
al Santa Fe and Antonito.
"The through service via the Den
yer & Rio Grande, the Santa Fe Cen
ira and Ell Paso & Northeastern sys
tens would mean much for Santa Fe
as it would make the Capital City the
center of a trunk line, the lack o.
which has been the greatest drawback
and setback that the city has exper
| fenced in it's advancement and growth
Therefore l will conclude by saying
J that third rail from Antonito to San
| ia re on the Denver & Rio Grande, tt
sutply the second and last MISSING
link for through traffic from Denver t.
Ell Paso can come none too soon.'

BANQUET TO
THE "S|XTY-
Girl Pupils of the Academy of Lo-
retto-A Most Enjoyable and
Festive Occasion.

Thursday, the nineteenth instant,
marked day of unusual jubilation at
Loretto Academy. The event was to
honor the 66 pupils that are now en-
rolled in that institution of learning
Since the first opening of the school.
81 years ago. Loretto Academy has
ranked first in every particular, send
ing out year after year, young ladies
of solid virtue, with wide and sound
education, equal to, if not superior to
any received in any academy whether
north, east, south or west OF this
academy conducted by the Sisters OF
Loretto.
That the efforts of the good sisters
are appreciated by the public, is evil
dent from the growth of the school.
Never before in it's existence has Lo-
rettO been so proud as to claim 66
young ladies', as it is today-young Ia
dies who are the pride of their par
ents, and the joy of the sisters.
The flock is tended by the sisters
who watch over their charges with a
motherly care and affection, at the
same time preparing them for the life
that still lies unrevealed.
The day continued in it's accustomed
order until o'clock, when just an
hour after the pupils clad in uniform
proceeded to the banquet hall. The
eyes of the pupils seemed brighter
than usual, for when the doors swung
open, the spacious building seemed a
city of its own, another Paradise OF
Eden. The decorations, white c, and
green were eartistically arranged about
the walls, while the tables covered
with pure white we're designed with
green. The effect was beautiful Flow
ers were in profusion and the illumina-
tions displayed not only the beauty OF
the interior, but the goodies as we'll.
The Very Rev. Father Fouchegue, vic
ar general in the absence of Reverend
ather Peter Bourgade begged bless
ing from on high on the delicious sup
per about to be enjoyed. Wild roses
beautifully painted on cards and laid
ON the plates served as menu cards;
the menu being roast turkey, potatoes,
celery, cranberries, lemon punch,

olives, pickles, white bread, barley
bread, crackers, oranges, apples, ba-
nanas, royal cream, cakes. candies,
nuts and coffee.

Passes Away.

Denver, Nov. 23-John L. jerome,
president and manager of the Overland
Cotton Mills and the former treasurer
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany, is dead at his country residence
at Buffalo Park about 4U miles from
this city. He was found dead in his
bed.
His friends say his death was due
to an overdose of some drug he was
in the habit of taking because of in
somnia. For some time it is stated,
he was troubled because of financial
troubles and the worry was increased
by the closing of the Overland Mills
which became necessary when a strike
was ordered in the coal fields.
This makes three of what is known
as the Iowa Crowd" which formerly
had the management Oh the Colorado
