| divided into two sections, one of
which contained half bushel of Sc
lected Colorado orange apples and the
other an equal quantity of Jonathans.
| Mr.. DeWeese says that for many
years he has been preaching the beau
ties and advantages of Colorado to his
friends and that he is now clinching
the argument by delivering the goods.
They we're certainly splendid apples
and purchasers would find it q DIM

Remembered Old Friends.
In looking about for place to send
a little Christmas cheer Canon man
last year mailed out dozen five-dol-
lar and ten-dollar bills to friends Of
the long ago-people he had known
in his boyhood days, many of whom
had forgotten him in the twenty years
that had passed since he left that
New England home.
1t was happy thought and q
pleasanter surprise never occurred in
some OF those needful homes
In this high-priced country we can
hardly imagine home supported by
a woman sewing at hfty cents a day,
yet there are such in many a New
England town and in the towns far
Their west. In such a ten-dollar bill
comes like fortune and is appreci-
ated beyond expression.

Renenbered Many People.
When times were not as prosperous
as they are now and many people did
not have all the necessities of life. to
say nothing of the luxuries, a Canon
City man sent out each Christmas eve
a fifty-pound sack of -four and a
dressed chicken to each Of many FAM
lilies where the favor was needed and
appreciated. One year his list ran
up to about two hundred families.

A young lady in Canon remembers
a whole lot of the little ones with
dolls. dresses, suitable toys, etc She

many a Canon boy and girl will have
reason to remember the Christmas

Young Angelenos to the number of

yesterday and went dutifully to school.

known the feeling of shoe leather for
three blissful months were properly
shod. Golden curls and curls Of raven
hue all received an extra brushing in
honor of the occasion, and faces were
made to shine.
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning
teachers were in their places and at
the same hour the 25,5OO school children
filed into the school rooms in the vari-
Gus parts of the city and prepared to
'be good" for whole hour
Only the teachers have proper ap-
probation of the result.
Kindergarten "Present"
The Kindergarten was there, look
ing in speechless wonder at sights
which his or her little eyes saw for the
first time. The first grader was there,
too, ready to pity the poor little one
who had not achieved the distinction Of
really being in the first grade.
He had put away childish things since
he became a man and could afford to
be patronizing.
From the first grade to the eighth
there was no lack of representatives in
the grammar schools.
In the high school there were juniors
and seniors overburdened with the duty
of instructing the under classmen in
the way they should go, and down at
the polytechnic high school there were
several hundred young people who
thought with pity of their brothers and
sisters of the hill who are not going
to learn how to cook or sew or be
blacksmiths.
Everywhere there was a crowd.
Everywhere teachers were puzzling
their heads to know where to find seats
for the pupils, and at the department
offices in the chamber of commerce
building there was more trouble than
in all the other places put together.
Enrolment of s25,531
When reports came into the office
last evening from the principals of the
schools there was total enrolment of
25,531 pupils and that Is not the end.
Half day sessions will have to be in
augurated, more teachers wilt have to
be employed and numerous changes
must be made to accommodate the large
number.
At the opening of school last year
there were 23,135 pupils enrolled, show
ing an increase for this year of nearly
$500 pupils.
All yesterday afternoon the offices
of the two deputy superintendents were
besieged with people. Principals were
waiting for instructions as to what to
do with the pupils that could not find
room. Irate parents were demanding
that their child be. sent to some other
school. School children were request
ing that transfers be signed, and work

reigned in some quarters. Assistant
Superintendent Monlux had to with
stand the wrath of several hundred
parents who called on him during the
afternoon to demand that their chill
dren be transferred to some other
school.
The health office shared in the "busy
day." Vaccinations were in demand,
and the health officers, with a corps of
assistants, were kept busy.
After enrolment school was dis
missed and the crowd was transferred
to the bookstores. In each Of these
there was a crowd which put to shame
anything seen on bargain days.
This morning school work will begin,
but the regular schedule will probably
not be carried out before next Monday.
At the polytechnic high school there
have been nearly $500 students enrolled
and it is expected that many more ap-

men were asking for orders about i'm
provements. From Z o'clock in the
morning until late at night the crowd
did not diminish.
And all the time the superintendent
were trying to devise some plan by
which all who apply may be accom-
modated.
At the Vernon Avenue school the en-
rollment last year was 430 and this year
1t has already reached TAO. At Avenue
Fifty-four there were 274 pupils enrolled
last year and there are AL this year.
The Ninth Street school shows an en-
rollment of 1130, and in the fifth grade
in one school there are seventy-one
pupils.
Half Day Sessions
Principals A. w. Plummer and ]. B.
Millard are having the most difficult
time. Prof. Plummer has the Four
teenth Street school, which will take
the place of the Sixth Street school. The
building will not be completed for three
weeks and the sessions will be held in
the afternoon at the Ninth Street
school, of which Prof. Millard is prin-
cipal, necessitating half day sessions
for each school.
my boys and girls got away from
me today" said Prof. Plummer last
night. The enrolment was only half
as great as the enrolment in the old
Sixth Street school. My pupils all had
to come in the afternoon and suppose
the circus was too much for them"
Every principal who reported yester-
day declared that his or her roll would
increase before the end of the week.
and each reminded the superintendents
of the circus.
The change in districts occasioned
much confusion, and indignation
