BIG BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

The home of +. NJ. Hardy, the
undersheriff. was the scene last night
of a Joyous gathering and a gentle
man could hardly ask for n happier.
brighter celebration of his birthday
anniversary than that which made
memorable the thirty-seventh birth
day of Mr.. Hardy.
For several days the friends of
Mr.. Hardy had been planning n big
surprise for the gentleman. Mrs
Hardy was made a party to the plot
and everything was arranged without
Mr.. Hardy having an inkling of what
was going on,
Last night about twenty couples
gathered at the home of MIR. and Mrs
W. G.. Struthers and at eight O'Clock
the large crowd of ladies and gentle
men made their way to the home of
Mr.. Hardy on Colorado avenue. Mr..
Hardy, who had prepared to spend a
quiet evening at home, was more than
taken by surprise when he found this
merry throng of friends in possession
of his home. However he gave them
gracious welcome and a campaign
of fun was at once entered upon.
The guests found pleasure at the
whist tables until ten O'Clock, and
the prizes we're sharply contested for.
j. II. Gallupe won the gentleman $
prize. and Mrs. A. n. Bucklin captur-
ed the ladies prize, while Mrs. j. IL.
Gallupe was awarded the BOBBY prize.
Mrs. Hardy had prepared an elabo-
rate and sumptions luncheon which
was served in a style both pretty and
perfect. The guests We're at the
tables for more than an hour. Tom
Sawyer, the versatile story teller and
was at his best as the
toastmaster and he also favored the
company with superb rendition of
a very pathetic and heart swelling
selection entitled, The Creases in my
Stomach are Fading Fast. pass the
biscuits again please Mrs. Hardy.
This feature perhaps made the
hardest hit of the evening.
Following the luncheon the guests
were entertained by several charm
ing vocal selections rendered by
Mrs. Limbaugh and Miss May Con
verse
Just before the hour for depart
ure Mr.. Hardy was presented with
an elegant toilet set. and he extended
his heartiest thanks to the friends
who had gathered for the handsome
gift and Cor the remembrance in
his birthday anniversary.
The midnight hour had come and
gone when the congenial gathering
dispersed and the pleasant memor-
les of that surprise party Will linger
long with those who were there.

STATEMENT OF FATHER CONWAY
REGARDING PRONE SYSTEMS.
Grand Jct.. Colo. Nov. ID. 1an5.

Grand Jet, Colo. Nov. 10. 1905.
In my summer travels of more than
eleven thousand .niles in lwenty-six
different states in the north, | have
noticed that Grand Junci ion. with its
many natural and acquired advan-
tages. Is lacking in at least one par
ucular. In by far the greater num-
ber of cities that have visited there
are independent telephone lines with
corresponding saving in telephone
tolls. In the farming Communities the
independent lines are particularly
noticeable. In no state Is this more
evident than in Wisconsin. where the
Bell people do little more than a long
distance business and that is proper
tionately decreasing
| have been studying the tele
phone matter for some years. and So
made II a matter OF particular ill
quiry during my vacation. | have ac-
quired considerable Information in
the matter which ! will cheerfully
impart 10 those who may he interest
ed in the matter. | find the co-opera-
tive system the most successful be
cause IL can not be sold out to the
trust without-the consent of all tele-
phone users. II is operated withous
party lines in the cities at less cost
