SOUTH CANON BOYS
CROSS COUNTRY RUN

The five-mile cross country run of
the South Canon high school athletic
association last Monday was in all
respects great success. There were
fourteen entries and all but three
of them finished. Earl Messenger. won
first place in 2s minutes, and John
Sullivan was second in 28H minutes
Albert Colgate was third in 2S min
utes and 40 seconds, while Stanley
Watt came safely within the thirty
minute mark c. G. Coleman was the

was great obstacle for the boys to

order to get a choice of seats, but the
crowd was not SO great that anybody
had to stand up, and without excep-
tion, the spectators seemed to enjoy
the game despite the fact that it was
a somewhat one-sided affair.
The high school team was unfortu-
nate in that its captain was unable to
take part in the game on account of
serious illness in his family. The
game was one of the cleanest exhibit
tions OF basketball seen in Canon City
this season, but few fouls being
called on either side. The score was
35 to 5 in favor of the Y M. C. A. boys.
This leaves the Association team the
undisputed champions of the Arkan-
sas Valley. The victors in Monday
nights gae had their photograph TAX

one unless the boys spoiled it. The

and impartiality as referee of the

Canon last Tuesday was character
lied by large poll but was devoid
of any special incident 30 far as the

tons growing out of the administra-
ton Of It's business affairs during the
past year, with the further one as to
whether the town marshal should
have charge of the work of sprink-
ling the streets. There was a total
of 377 ballots, of which the Citizens

A Pleasant Evening

Quite a number of young folks
met at the home of Mrs. Wreford
last night, and whiled away few
very pleasant hours. Cards and
music were INDUCED in till late
hour. Some beautiful piano selec-
tions, rendered by Miss Piper and
Miss Neale, were appreciated.
Delicious refreshments, consist
ing of cake and cream, were par
taken of, and the merry moments
sped too swiftly on towards mid
night, when the young folks took
their departure, all declaring they
had spent a most delightful even
ing.
The. girls all looked FRESH and
lovely in their airy evening dresses,
while the boys were handsome, as
usual, in the conventional attire.
Among those who participated
were, Misses Olga Piper, Elsie
Neale, Hughie Florence, Joie Har-
ris, Leta Hudson, and Edna Smith.
Messrs. Charlie Kennedy, Charlie
Blalack, David Kowalski, J. c.

LOCAL AND Personal.

Among the outgoing passeng-
ers this morning were Messrs.
A. J. and Thos. Piper, and
their families who were on the
way to Racine. Wis, to spend
the summer. As will be remember
ed these gentlemen bought land
a few miles from town last year,
and began farming operations
in September. They planted cab
bage, and shipped the first car
from Brownsville. Speaking of the
success attained during the few
months of their farming operations
here, Messrs, Piper say they are
more than pleased with results,
and have no cause to roget their
decision to locate in this portion of
the Brownsville country. They
will spend the summer months in
Racine, and expect to return here
about September /. During the
absence of Piper Bros, their in
terests here will be looked after by
E. w. Scott, an experienced truck
grower, and the farm will be in
good hands.

His Best Answer

The meekest kind of little boy
joined a Sunday school class in a
West Philadelphia church. He
did not know the other scholars,
and appeared nervous, half scared
and ready to cry at any moment.
The teacher, however, treated him
kindly, and the lesson proceeded
without any outburst. After a
short reading from the Bible the
teacher began to question the pupils
on their last lesson, and asked;
Who led the children of Israel
into Canaan"
As no one answered she looked
from boy to boy, At last her gaze
rested on the new boy. He started
guilty, and said between sobs:
It wasn't me, honest, teacher.
