Washington to be innogerated, and
where Jackson smoked his corn cob
pipe, and swore and stormed around
when he was mad, and to walk Oh the
same paths where Zachariah Taylor
lacked, Buchanan catched it, and Lin
coin put down the rebellion, and SO we
walked over toward the white house, and

a stone to throw at dog inside the
fence, and when I walked along be-
hind dad, and got rear view of his
silk hat, it seemed as though 1 would
sink through the asphalt pavement,
for he had on an old silk hat that he
wore before the war. the darnedest
looking hat 1 ever saw, the brim
curled like minstrel show hat, the
fur rubbed off in some places, and he
looked like one of these actors that
you see pictures of walking on the
railroad track, when the show busts
up at the last town. l think a man
ought to dress so his young son won't
have fit l tried to get dad to go
and buy new hat, but he said he was
going to wait till he got to London,
and buy one just like King Edward
wears, but he will never get to London
with that hat, cause tonight l will
throw it out of the hotel window and
put piece of stove pipe in his hat
box
Well, sir, you wouldn't believe it, but
we got into the white house without
being pulled, but it was close shave,
cause everybody looked at dad, and
put their foref1ngers to their fore
heads, for they thought he was either
crank, or an ambassador from some
furrin country. The detectives got
around dad when we got into the ante
room, and began to feel of his pockets
to see if he had gun, and one of
them asked me what the old fellow
wanted, and l told them he was the
greatest bob cat shooter in the west,
and was on his way to Europe to in
vite the emperors and things to come
over to this country and shoot cats on
mis- preserve. Well, say, you ought to
and waltZed around, and one of them
went in the next room and told the
president dad was there, and before
we knew it we were in the presidents
room, and the president began to curl
UP his lip, and show his teeth like
some one had said rats He got hold
of dads hand, and dad backed off as
though he was afraid of being bitten,
and then they sat down and talked
about mountain lion and cat shooting.
and dad said he had % rifle that he
could pick cat off the back fence with
every time, out of his bedroom win
dow, and l began to look around at the
pictures. Dad and the president talked
about all kinds of shooting, from mud
hens to moose, and then dad told the
president he was going abroad on &C
count of his liver, and wanted a letter
of Introduction to some of the kings
and emperors, and queens, and jacks,
and all the face cards, and the presi-
dent said he made it a practice not to

New York Beggars,

Racially the beggar will belong to
one Of three classes-first. the purely
unfortunate; second. the drunken out,
cast: third, the professional panhan-
dler He Of the first class usually is
forced by circumstances to follow the
line Of least resistance into the poorest
and cheapest quarter Of the town,
where he will not be likely to meet
with hts old time friends and where
his misery will find sufficient company
to render 1t unashamed, and so his des-
tination will be one OF those cheap
lodging houses where a warm fire and
an unclean bed may be had for 10
cents or less night. The outcast Of
the second class is almost without ex-
ception brought to his degraded con-
dftion through drink. and he takes to
the lower Bowery impersonally be-
cause 1t constitutes his natural envi-
ronment, being where the greatest
quantity of rum is sold for the least
amount Of money and where free
sleep may be had during stormy nights
on the rear room floor of saloon. The
professional panhandler Of the third
class goes down the Bowery not be-
cause he lives there, for he does not,
but because there he finds sundry re-
sorts which cater exclusively to his
kind.-Everybody's Magazine.

Fine Races Coming.

The first day or commencement of
the racing circuit of Colorado,
Wyoming and New Mexico, opens at
Fort Collins on Monday May 22nd,
and will continue three days.
Everything will be in readiness at
the park. The track is in fine con-
dition and pronounced to be one of
the best in the state. Applications
have been made already that will
more than fill the one hundred stalls
for races.
1t is doubtful If any place on the
circuit outside of Denver will have
as fine racing as there will be at
Fort Collins.
On the first day will occur the
match race between the horse Jim
Dickson and Doctor Almont. :"
This match race is for $1,000 inde-
pendent of any money given by the
association. This race will be best
two and three, and promises to be
one of the best races of the year.
There will also be a running race
in which there has been 5000 put up
independent of any offer of the park.
This running race will be by the
best horses in the country. Every
race during the three days will be
contested for by the same class of
horses that will 60 through the cir

There will be professional starter
and professional judges. and the rae

RAH FOR THE FOURTH
Day to be Celebrated Here in
ROYAL Style.

Greeley Is to have a Fourth OF
July celebration this year. such as
it has never had before. At least,
that is the plan of the more active
members of the Commercial club,
and members of the Greeley fire de-
partment.
At meeting of the board OF
directors of the Commercial club last
Thursday, this was one OF the lead
ing topics of discussion, and 1t was
finally decided to turn the matter
over to the entertainment commit
tee. of which William Mayher is
chairman, and let that committee
look into the scheme, and then If
necessary have a subcommittee ap-
pointed to make all preparations.
1t has been decided that Greeley
is about the best town in Colorado
in which to celebrate the big ma
tional holiday, ana as Greeley people
are bound to celebrate the day either
at home or some other place, 1t is
desired to give them such an enter
tainment at home that they will be
glad all the rest of the days Of their
life, that they had the chance to
hear and see It,
While the scheme is yet too young
to have taken definite shape, it is
expected that Mr.. Mayher will have
a number of good suggestions worked
out before the next meeting Of the
directors of the Commercial club.

ditch. has been before the county
court for several days. Wednesday
morning the case took an unexpected
turn by the jury bringing in a YER
dict of 5,2ss.sO, for Mr.. Benton for
damages to his land. AS the county
has no jurisdiction in cases involv.
ing over $1,000 the case will now
have to go to the district court for
trial. Benton asked for $40, 600
damages, but as in most damage
suits. there was no expectation of

TALK WATER
CITY COUNCIL HOLDS FIRST
OPEN MEETING
Discussion of the Most Feasible
Plans for City Water Sup
ply Entered Into by
Greeley Citizens

The first meeting OF the new mayor
and city council to discuss the mat
ter OF a gravity system Of water for
Greeley, passed up to that body at
the recent municipal election, was
held last Friday evening. Nothing
was done, but to talk over matters
in an informal way.
Ex-Mayor Watson had been invit-
ed to attend the meeting and to give
all information upon the subject,
that he had been able to accumulate
during his years as mayor. He spoke
at some length on the various
schemes that have bobbed up during
his administration, and the running
to earth Of all Of them without any
definite results, except that water
could be had, if the city was willing
to pay the price. If nothing better,
it would be possible to buy up a
number OF farms, and abandon these
and let the city use the water that
formerly went to the farms.
The matter of reservoir water for
the city was also gone into to some
extent, and the project advanced by
B. D. Sanborn for water from the
Thompson discussed.
Mr.. Sanborn was also at the meet
ing and explained the plan that he
has under way, to the council.
This plan was thoroughly outlined
in the Tribune issue of April 27.
Simply stated it is planned to ex-
change reservoir water in Boyd lake,
which the city can purchase or rent
from MIR. Sanborn, who now owns
this lake, for river water, to be
taken out of the Big Thompson
some place up in the canon. Mr..
Sanborn has actually purchased S20.-
900 worth of land surrounding the
lake, over which the water will be
spread by the erection Of dam.
| According to the statement of
Mr.. Watson, the Sanborn plan has a
great deal of merit, providing the
water can be purchased at the right
price. 1t is pretty certain that no
water supply that would be salts
factory to the city can be bought for
80, 600 or anywhere near that figure.
Then, in the event that reservoir
water would have to be bought, the
Thompson river project would have
the advantage over the Poudre river
In the expense of building the sys-
TEN. At present there is not drop
of reservoir water to be had on the
Thompson, until the Boyd lake
reservoir is completed. On the
Poudre river there are several reser-
voirs that would have water to spare,
but the expense of going up the
Poudre canon for the water is so
much greater than the cost of going
to the Thompson, that the most
careful consideration of both plans
from all sides will be necessary.
