WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
SONG BIRDS.
From the Barre Telegram,

A representative of the Vermont HUI
name society is in town looking up mat
tors that come within the province of
the societys intent. The principal OBJ
ject of the ladys visit is to investigate
the alleged common practice of shooting
robins and other song birds on the sur
rounding hills.
1t is rather "A difficult matter to prove
these charges and yet the story has been
current for several years that several
families in the city dine quite frequently
upon the dainty dish of broiled robin.
one of the things that makes country
life paradise Is the presence of the
song birds and the Legislature has look
ed at the matter in the right light by
laying down a regulation to protect the
birds That law reads as follows: III

SENDING MILK TO BOSTON IN

II has been Contendcd by many farm
ers of late tiat II was more profitable to
car their milk to Boston than to dispose
of it at the creamery, but w. S. Perry of
Weatherstield after careful test and
comparison is convinced that the returns
from Hillside creamery are the more
favorable, to say nothing of the time
and labor saved to the farmers wife in
cleaning cans. His net returns from II
cows during the first half of May, when
his milk was sent to Boston were $2f 0s
or Sll7 per hundred. His net returns
from the same number of COWS, and

half of May, when it was taken to fiill-

TIME TABLE.
THE kTTAcK ON DEHVER.

. Denver's business men are doing
considerable needless gnashing of teeth
over an anonymous communication
printed in the Boston Transcript.
which attempts to deal several body
blows to the city's past. present and
future
There should be no need of worry
on the past of Colorado capital city
not if the entire eastern press. instead
of our feeble, unknown scribbler,
should unite in broadsides against her.
Denver is as assured in fer position
as New York. Chicago or san Francis
co in theirs.
The transcript writer has his argu-
ment if argument it can be called
on the assertion that Denver selected
an unpropitious spot for its birth
place-which might be said of Abra-
ham Lincoln. who first saw the
worlds light in log cabin. or even
the Messiah, whose nativity was a
manger. The facts did not detract
from the glory of their after deeds.
A possible mi slocation of few
furlongs this way or that would have
an equally small effect on Denver's 8
future at this late day.
Whatever that city's weakness N
natural location which few. if any,
had discovered before is being re-
medied bv every pick 5 stroke in the
growing Moffat line. That steel
highway will link Denver with the
mountains straight as the bird flies,
will open a tributary empire of bound
less resources and establish that city
as the moving power of the greatest
transcontinental railway of the future.
The will and the spirit are what
build cities. after all Natural loca-
tion is not always essential. San
Diego has the softest and most beauti-
full harbor in the world. and Los An
geles. ninety miles away. has none
is set eighteen miles inland. in fact
yet Los Angeles outstripped heI
rival easily as a racer moves past a
dray horse. Leavenworth had the
location and splendid start to become
the railroad and trading center that
Kansas City is today. yet the Kansas
City. with hillocks and hoilows for
her site, moved ON to her destiny.
| For her. as with NAPOLEON. there were
no Alps. Galveston. by age. pres
| tige and location. should be the Texas
metropolis it once was. but San An
tonic. isolated on the border land of
NJ xico. and Houston. set ON an ugly
bayou. have snatched her laurels.
Denver is located all right. Better,
sh9 has a set of public spirited bust
ness men who pull together and be-
lieve in the citys destiny. Better
than all. she has Colorado behind her
and region of thousand square
miles where she reigns undisputed
queen.

THE lCLEE CLUB

The entertainment given last night
bv the mem bers of the Colorado Col
lege Glee and Mandolin club. was all
that was anticipated for it by the
friends and admirers of the young
men.
The public is generally familiar
with the character of the entertain
ment given by college glees and the
entertainment last night was not an
exception to the rule. College songs.
topical songs and the songs that shall
live so long as college life is in exist
euce were sung with a hurrah and a
dash. which gave the friends of the
boys ample room to applaud.
The singing was a decided improve
ment over the last entertainment
given by an organization from. the
Colorado College.
1t had considerable more merit
But it is fact that the really
taking thing of the entertainment
was the impersonations and dialect
readings of Mr.. p. d. Rice of this
city son of P. A Rice
In his school DAYS here Mr.. Rice
was heard frequently in defamation
and in original oration but he has so
far improved over that period in
his school life, that it is simply
unjust to compare the work today,
which is a finished product almost.
with his younger efforts. He was
recalled time and time again and
made decided hit with all the
audience.
1t can be said also that the sing
ers were generous in their response
to encores and were not at all stIn-
gy with their music. On the whole
it was a delightful entertainment
