HAD GOOD TINE AT
TEACHERS RECEPTION

OF the various social events planned
for the entertainment of the teachers
attending the tri-county Institute, now
in session in this city. 1t Ia safe to
say that none will be more enjoyable
than the reception given by Miss Ida
7. White in their honor at $40 Pike
avenue last Thursday night.
There was an absence OF con-
straint and conventionality about the
gathering that was highly gratifying
and Afforded the widest latitude for
genuine enjoyment The lawn was
brilliantly Illuminated and. under the
witchery of its mellowed light the ped
agogues and their friends engaged In
social conversation or took part In the
games provided for their amusement.
The company and the surroundings
we're most congenial and the guests
were reluctant 10 leave, so agreeable
an environment causing them to delay
their departure until a late hour.
Miss White is to be felicitated upon
the success OF the affair, which will
long be a pleasant memory 20 those
having the good fortune to be present.

Chairman D. B. Farley last night.

that Mr.. Peabody will be an candidate

a certainty, but merely as a rumor.
There are several candidates in that
district There is Haggott of Idaho
Springs, T. D. Catlin of Montrose, and
Ben Ritter of Durango. 1t looks like
Catlin would have the support of the
entire western slope, including sixteen
counties. ] think Robert Bonynge will
have no opposition in the First"
Speaking of general conditions. Mr..
Farley said: "The party is in better
condition now than It has been prior
to any one of the three recent Repub-
Iican victories. The party is stronger
and better harmony exists. There are
plenty OF candidates for all positions,
which is good omen.
1--WE will stand on our record in the
coming campaign. The Republican
party has given the state industrial
peace and prosperity. such as It has
not had in ten or fifteen years. We
have been paying OF Democratic debts
and still have money in the treasury"
Referring to Denver. Mr.. Farley
said: Conditions in Denver are much
improved. Patterson and the yellow
papers have overplRyed the franchise
fraud racket and the people are tired

An Enjoyable Picnic Party.

ter Ethel, Mrs. Robbins and daughter,

joyed a drive over Oak reek grade,
about half mile beyond the Yorkville
school.
The drive was very pleasant, the day
perfect. and the dinner was not dis
cussed for lack OF time. The canon be-
yond the grade is grand; not SO mas
sive as the Royal Gorge. but quite as
beautiful. On the whole the picnic
was one of the most enjoyable of the
season and the same parties threaten
to go again.

THE HAPPY TEACHER.

Canon has hundred happy, care
free visitors. To be exact, there are
hundred and twenty-seven.
They are teachers from three coun-
ties attending the institute You see
them everywhere you go; happy. free
from worry, full of the joy of youth.
While the object of summer in
stitute is designed for study. still only
the younger teachers take it too SER
iously. The first termers are apt to
be overawed a little by the heavy
weight instructors and the great and
powerful and ever watchful county
superintendents. Their pleasure is
some times disturbed by the fears of
the approaching examinations.
But year or two in the harness
puts one at ease, and the older teach
ers take these things as a matter of
course and do not let the studies of
the day or the serious lectures of the
University professors interfere too
much with their rest and recreation.
And why should they?
We envy the teacher on a vacation:
or even at summer institute. We
know of nothing that so nearly ap-
proaches the ideal simple life as that
of the teacher in the summer time.
No work to do. Forced to rest.
During the summer months they toll
not, neither do they spin, and yet no
millionaire in all his wealth and glory
can enjoy vacation like one of these.
When business or professional man
cuts off for months vacation his
mind is drawn back to that business
by a thousand petty ties, and an ac-
cusing conscience urges him to hurry
back to the neglected trade.
Few business men can enjoy a va
cation. Few make the effort But the
teacher has her life mapped out with
three months of enforced rest, with
nothing but summer institute to mar.
So the teacher with good position
opening up in the fall ought to be the
happiest mortal alive and ought to en-
Joy herself to the fullest.
Here's wishing that every day of her
summer vacation may be filled full of
cool breezes and tempered sunshine.
Let her enjoy life while she may for
the fall term is still weeks away.

THE JURY SYSTEM.

The action of the jury in these
behold.
Honest men will take oaths to find
according to the evidence. and when
the case is before them pay no more
attention to the evidence in the case
than they would to a report in the
Rocky Mountain News.
When the first whiskey cases were
up the jurymen who hung the jury
excused themselves by saying that the
witnesses were foreigners and unreli-
able. They admitted that If the same
evidence had been given by Canon City
men there would be no trouble in Sc
curing a conviction.
Then in the most recent case-that
against John A. Armor-the witness
was a prominent Canon City business
man.
No man stands higher in the COM
munity for truth than Mr.. g. N. Law
renee, receiver of the Canon City Gas
Company.
He testified positively that he had
purchased gin from Mr.. Armor and
paid him for 1t.
His testimony was direct and plain
enough to satisfy any jury on any
other matter. and would have hung a
murderer or sent a horse thief to the
penitentiary.
But Mr.. Armor, the defendant, said
that Mr. Lawrence was mistaken or
had sworn to lie. and the jury. or
part of it, believed the defendant in
the case.
Probably not soul in this town who
heard the evidence doubted word
Mr.. Lawrence said but the few jury
men who refused to vote to convict.
Mr. Lawrence said he bought the
gin from Mr.. Armor. But the jury, or
part of it, said he did not. For If he
told the truth Mr.. Armor was guilty
and some men on the jury voted that
he was not guilty.
If jurymen will not believe the testi-
mony of such men as Mr.. Lawrence
and vote in the jury room according
to the evidence. whose testimony will
they believe?
Is it impossible to get jury of
twelve honest, unprejudiced men in
Canon City?
Such actions make one lose faith in
free liberal government and believe in
some stronger system. if it could be
devised

The Else in the River.

1t is little short of astonishing to see
now iittle water IS required to float
the southern river steamers, a boat
loaded with perhaps q thousand bales
OF cotton slipping along contantedly
where q boy could wade across the
stream
Not long ago. however, the Chatta-
hOochee got too low for even her light
draught commerce, and at Gunboat
Shoals the steamer grounded. AS the
drinking water on board needed re-.
plenishing, deckhand was sent
ashore with couple of water buckets.
Just at this moment a northern tray
eler approached the captain of the
boat and asked him how long he
thought they would have to stay there
"Oh, only until that man gets back
with bucket of water to pour into the
river the captain replied Presently
the deckhand returned, and the stale
water from the cooler was emitted
overheard Instantly, to the amaze
ment of the traveller, the boat began
to move.
well. if that don't beat thunder.'
he gasped.
The fact was. that the boat, touching
the bottom, had acted as a dam anal
there was soon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the
shoal and send her on down the
stream.-Harper's Weekly.
