Fersn'ghtiy Club.

The Fortnightly Club enjoyed the
first literary program on the chosen
topic of the year, Russia, at the
home of Mrs. Edwards Saturday
afternoon.
Current Events in Russia" as a
response to roll call was found to be
a very timely topic.
Mrs. NJ. K. McCauley, with the
subject, The Evolution of an En-
pre-" gave a splendid and exhaust
i've treatise on the physical, political.
social and religious history of Russia
from the Hunnish invasion in 375
B. c. and the arrival of the Swedish
Ruric Viking, throughout the reigns
of its thirty-two rulers. The terri
Bile tale of strife and bloodshed was
somewhat relieved by amusing incl
dents and glimpse of the achieve
ments in music, art and literature.
A comprehensive picture Of the
capital of Russia was given by Mrs.
James McNeen. The realization
that this population was once a bar
ren, miserable marsh. and that the
Transformation took place regard
less of the expense of material or
human lives causes one to under
stand the character of the iron task
master, Peter the Great. The chief
items of interest to the tourist of
to-day are the granite quays, the
Alexander column. the Isaac cathe-
dral, the Admiralty building. and
the Cars winter palace. Leaders
in intellectual lines revel in the geo.
GRAPHICAL and historical societies, the
academy of sciences and the archae-
ological societies.

noon was given by Mrs c. A. Beer

4. to tn. Name. OF Avenues.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: The disposition
shown by the city council to honor a
prominent citizen Ia member of
their own body by naming avenues
after him, shows a commendable
spirit. But since brevity is the soul
of wit. why not shorten the name
somewhat. Mat and Dan would go
well together, and Dan would sound
quite as well as Daimler. 1t has
been suggested that these changes
in the west end might well be bal
anced by similar changes in the east
end. where we could have Pat
avenue and Brad avenue. in honor
of another illustrious citizen. who is
also a son of old Erin. The council.
however, has not yet exhausted the
resources in this direction afforded
by their own membership. We
me might haye Bar Tor BARR
avenue, and next to this Bum tor
Bonn avenue. instead of the present
awkward names of Belleview and
Carson. This would give US the
happy and easily remembered COM
bination of Bar. Bum, Mat and
Dan. This might be improved on
by the adoption of the name Of
another alderman for San Juan
avenue, which would result in this
succession of pleasing sounds:
Lam. Bar. Bum. Mat and Dan.
This by no means exhausts the pos
sibilities of the situation. but may
be sufficient to serve as hint to
the council that they have failed to
fully realize their opportunities on
this occasion.

One of the most superb entertain
ments ever given in La Junta will
commence on next Thursday even
ing at Elks' Hail in the Dougherty
block. Eight years have come and
gone since the last festival was
given by the Catholic ladies Of this
city. La Junta was then little more
than a struggling village. 1t was
ambitions and enterprising. 1t had
its schools, its churches and its
stores, but its most sanguine inhabi-
tants little dreamt that it would
hold its proud position Of Queen
City of the Arkansas Valley" a
name reluctantly accorded it to-day
by its one-time envious and ambi-
tious rivals.
The coming bazaar will uphold the
traditions Of our thriving young
city. Ii will form a new landmark
in its progress. and it will wind up
in feast of enthusiasm, fellowship
and goodwill. From Holland, Mex
leo. Japan and the Emerald Isle will
come fair young danes to compete
with that latest marvel Of female
enterprise and genius, the American
girl, who will sell in her country
store" the choicest products of
Uncle Sans dominions. on which
the sun never sets. The dark-eyed
japanese will be fittingly entertain
ed by Mrs. Mccormick and Mrs.
B. NJ. Spalding. the staid danes of
Holland by Mrs. O'Neill and Mrs.
Cash. while the coy maids of Erin
will meet with hearty "Cead mile
farlbe" from Mrs. J. NJ. Spalding
and Mrs. Burns. The country
store. where Uucle Sans wares
will tempt the dimes and nickels
from the patrons of the bazaar, will
be in charge of Miss c. Foxworthy
and Miss Nellie Burns, assisted by a
bevy of La Junta's fairest daugh-
ters. In the ice cream booth the
choicest refresments will be served
by Mrs. Gavigan. Miss Fisher and
the Misses Hayes, Miss Hively and
Miss Spalding. while Mrs. Kranz
and Mrs. Friesmeyer, with their
friends, will prove conclusively that
human beings may be made happy
without resorting to poisonous in
toxicants for slaking their thirst.
For the first three or four even
ings of the bazaar the famous Bon
Ton restaurant will be in charge of
Mrs Bradish. Mrs O'Rourke. Mrs.
O'Connor, Mrs. Hively and host of
our city's best entertainers. where
a supper unsurpassed in its excel
lence will be served between the
hours of to O'Clock each evening.

But who was he?
And as if in answer to this query.
and just as the visitors were grouped
in front Of the hut. an old man. tall.
eaunt. with tangled hair and long
beard, suddenly appeared from one side
of the cabin.
He was coatless. hatless, and bare
foot; a gray shirt patched in many
places and trousers more so were his
only dress: and. as he halted, looking
first at one and then at another of the
group with wide-open. solemn eyes. his
arms hung limp and motionless.

beside him. squatted on a stump, and
began calling to the squirrels. Then
he looked up and smiled, and never
was more grateful for smile.
They won't hurt YOU he said, as
one came close TO me. AS squirrels
seemed to be the only avenue to his
speech. began to talk OF them and he
joined in, telling me how they stole
his corn, how they lived with him III
winter, and what he fed them. He
called them lup to him with one pc
culiar clucl; and stroked them, happy
as child. They have souls, he said
at last, same as you and |, and I'm
going to be one of 'em some day"
1T was curious and yet pitiful, but
failed to find out anything about him
how long he'd lived there. or who he
was. One or two questions he an
swered sane enough, Others in vague
way, as II he failed to understand
them, and some he ignored entirely.
When | arose to go, he arose also. and
then some sudden impulse led me to
offer my hand. He took it naturally
enough, and we shook with warm
clasp

the doctor. when Martin finished his
story. mo imbecile or semi-lunatia

And this medical opinion, as ii may
be called, fairly covered the case
though in no wise explaining tho
mystery. Neither did Martin make
further attempt to solve it. 1t may
have been from sense of pity for
this half-demented old man, whose
sole JOY was the friendship of SPUR

his solitude. as we'll.
No more queer footprints were
found. however. and the doctor grew
less nervous as they journeyed through,
the wilderness. But the hermit's face,
his long white beard and tangled hair,
his moon eyes. his tame squirrels,
and all that made him mysterious,

GRIIENVALE.

1t was brook, or rather three
brooks, that gave birth to Greenvale
One, the largest, known as the Mizzy
Originally Misery stream), came from.
no one knew where, up between two
ranges of mountains and out of a five
mile-long mOrass, rightly called
Misery swamp. For many miles the
Mizzy twisted and turned between
high wooded banks, diving under
overhanging and moss covered rock
walls, down through deep intervales
canopfed with thick hemlock and fir.
keeping always in shadow, as if
ashamed of it's origin, till at last it
leaped into freedom and sunlight over
q low ledge at the head of an oval val
ley. Here it was joined by two smaller
streams, one called Fall Brook, laugh
ing down a narrow gorge in the noun
tain, active, pure, and fearless, as be-
comes a well-ordered brook; the other
known as the OK Bow, and of a SINH
lar tenor, coming from the opposite
range of low mountains, between which
lies the valley now partially occupied
by Greenvale.
At the head Of this, ever SO many
