A JOINT SOCIAL
WoOdmen of the World and tn,

Jolly Time at ElISs Hall
Last Evening.

There was a large number of the
members of Apple Blossom Circle.

ent last night at the joint social ses-
sion which took place at Elks hall.
1t was one of the pleasantest even
lngs the members of the two popular
orders have had the pleasure of en-
joying in many months.
An informal but richly entertain
ing program was carried out during
the early part of the evening. Ad-
dresses were made by Consul Com
mander, Henry r. Rhone, who presid
ed over the session and by Mr.. Peter
Mogensen. Mrs. Edwin Haskell de
lighted the crowd with piano solos
of the sweetest nature. The Wood
men quartette composed of Messrs.
Coles. Leslie. Nichols and Webber.
rendered several splendid selections.
A stronger quartette can't be organiz-
ed in the city than the Woodmen
quartette. Arthur Pierson gave sew
eral amusing character sketches.
A kangaroo court presided over
by Attorney Rhone created a world
of fun. Attorney Coles acted as the
prosecuting attorney while Attorney
Carnahan represented each of the
defendants. Various members were
fined for different offenses some
grave and some not so grave. 1t
was great court and appeals from
its decisions would hardly be tolerat-

Refreshments We're served late in
the evening and then an hour was
spent at cards and finch.
1t was a merry gathering ,and an
ideal social session, Tine Woodmen
and the Women of woodcraft always
make their social sessions memor-
able for the attending pleasures.

SPIRIT OF LOST CAUSE.

The message of sympathy sent by
President Roosevelt to Mrs. j A.
Hayes, daughter of Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, is an Indication of the degree
to which the bitterness of the great
civil war has been blotted out from
among the American people.
Mrs. Davis and her two daughters
We're regarded for many years with
almost reverential affection by the
people of the southern states and be
came to a large degree the preson-
al embodiment of the spirit of the
Lost Cause. Since the death of Miss
varina Davis, few years ago. Mrs,
Hayes has succeeded in a measure to
the place of the Daughter of the Con-
federacy, and has worthily received
a full measure of the affection and
homage that has been accorded the
wife and daughter of their great
chieftain.
1t is significant too of the happier
days into which our nation has come
after its period of conflict and evil,
that this remaining daughter of the
Confederate president has made her
home in a western state. where the
old sectional lines between north
and south have no meaning and
where the only measure of any citi-
zen is his loyalty toward the pres
ent and his participation in the up
building of the community of his
present home.
We cannot believe that the mes
sage of sympathy and regret sent by
the president to a sorrowing daugh-
ter can awaken anywhere any un-
friendly comment, and certainly in
Colorado there will be nowhere any
thing but sincere approval of the
presidents message as representing
the sentiments of the nation and of
the state,-Pueblo Chieftain.

BIG FIVE MAKES PEOPLE
PAY THE DEBT.

y Mr.. Reuben Starr is a good
4 fellow; We have always liked
n him ourselves. although sorry
\ he got into that trouble few
y years ago.
y The Republican party owes
y something to Rube and has
y been paying that something in
y promises for years. This year
y Ruben announced that such
) conversation payment" would
y not go. Even this announce
y ment did not worry the "big
; five" machine very much. be-
y cause they argued they could
= placate Rube again, as they
y had frequently done before.
y This conclusion satisfied the
y big five" for some little time
y so that when Rube Starr an
\ nounced that the office of clerk
y and recorder was his persim
y mon. the machine, was lifted
clean off its feet.
y The "big FIVE" machine did
not want Rube in that position.
They said his candidacy was a
\ joke. but Rube stood pat and
\ they had to nominate him. He
! said, so It is said: "I'll make .
them pay me, whether they
\ want to or not or whether l .
am competent or not"
\ Now the Republican party
\ doubtless did owe Mr.. Starr .
something for the dirty work !
\ he had been doing for years 1
\ and the question of his compe-
! tency may not be of any conse-
\ quence to Mr.. Starr, when II .
! comes to paying political !
, debt, BUT DO THE PEOPLE
, OWE RUBEN STARR ANY !
, THING. LET THE REPUBLI- !
, CAN PARTY PAYS IT'S
, DEBTS. BUT THE whole peo--
|, pie should not be held respon-
! sible for their payment.
! The voters will recall that
! the Republican party never has
| cared much for the competency
! of its candidates for certain Of
. fees. Contrary to this position
!, is that of the Democracy which
/. offers its best at all times for
! election.
Do the voters really care for
\ the competency of a candidate
\ for this most import ant office?
\ If they do. in A. N. Bucklin
\ they have the ideal candidate.
\ Mr.. Bucklin's election would
\ be compliment to the intelli-

Watch for the announcement in
this space. We are receiving new
models in our Cloak and Suit sec
ton each day. Every day this
week there will be something new
to show you. 1t surely must be a
pleasure for a lady to step into
our ready-to-wear section, being
entirely separate from the gener-
al Dry Goods section, where our
fitting rooms are SO arranged
that you do not have to go out of
the store to have your Waist,
Skirt, Suit or Coat fitted, and we
do not allow a garment to go out
of the department unless it is per-
feet and entirely satisfactory in
every way. AS the cold weather
approaches you should not over
look the fact that you have got
to have some kind of fur. We
have an endless variety to show
and you will be surprised at the
low prices we quote on these
goods. In the Dry Goods section
the profits are yours. 1t is well
known fact that we sell all staple
articles-such as Sheeting, Prints,
Ginghams, Blankets, Comforts,
Dress Goods, Hosiery, Notions,
Laces, Gloves, etc., at the closeiest
possible margin.

CURING CLOVER HAY.
Only Such Amount as Can Be Safely
Cured and Stored Should Be Cut.

Where hay loader Is used, 1t Is
sometimes advantageous to ted clover
hay twice to get all the dampness out
of 1t before putting 1t In barns. Where
the hay is loaded by hand from cocks
or piles, this is seldom necessary.
Clover hay, says the Orange Judd
Farmer, should never put In the NOV
when damp. with the expectation that
1t will cure out In NOW
II the weather liz very brittle, as 1t
was last year In this latitude, small
amounts should be cut SO that too
much will not be down at one time.
My practice is to cut one day about
what can put in the next, SO that If
the weather breaks and my hay gets
wet after 1t Is almost cured our loss
will be comparatively small. Last
year during the wet weather, I know
of farmers who lost five or six acres
by cutting down too much at one
time. Besides. II the weather proves
warm and clear. when SO much Is cut
ut one time the last to be taken in
will be too dry to handle well and SO
many OF the leaves will drop OF while
handling that the value Of the hay
will be greatly reduced.
A good programme for hay making
and one which endeavor to carry out
IL about as follows: Cut the latter
part Of day. about rs much As can be
taken care of the next afternoon, this
to be governed Of course by the
amount of help at hand. Begin ted
