said, half turned her face and laughed
as she FASTENED on.
Her brilliant cheeks were a delight
to the eye The snow swirled about
her, whitening the crown of her red
cap and chung to her shoulders. Have
you ever seen snow crystals CLEAN,

will pledge his soul that a particular
fake will never fade, never cease to
rest upon a certain flying strand over
a girlsh temple? And he loses-his

She turned her head my way as

her step slackened for a moment;
then she hurried blithely forward.

Rather! She teaches music"

The girls call her"-she seemed

She thrust her hands into the peck
cts Of her coat and shook the tam-o'-
shanter slightly, to establish it in a
more comfortable spot on her head.
The beads had been in my corduroy
coat since I found them. I drew them
out and gave them to her
Thank you; thank you very much"
"Of course they are yours, Miss"
She thrust them into her pocket.
OF course they're mine" she said
Indignantly, and turned to go.
We'll waive proof of property and

piazza of a boat house is not, submit,

and light and certain step. Her re-
mark about the wall did not encourage
further conversation and l fell back
upon the poets.

The State Fair.

This years state fair which opens at
Pueblo on September 9 will be far and
away the best ever held in Colorado, or
for that matter, in the west. Every
thing in sight goes to prove this asser
ton. Vice presidents in every county OF
the state send the most cheering news,
while boards of county commissioners in
most of the counties have already made
appropriations to pay the expense OF
their exhibits.
Space has been engaged in many de-
partments for more than month, and
the Indications are that even with the
increased room provided since the last
fair there will be none to spare. Fruit
in considerable quantity has arrived, in
fact most every day witnesses the arriv-
al Of horticultural products which are
being placed in cold storage ready for
the big fair
1t will not cost one cent to ship your
agricultural and horticultural products
to Pueblo for exhibition at the state
fair. This will assure such display as
has never been seen gathered together
IN the entire west.
The plan is this: You pay the ship.
ping charges to Pueblo and when the
fair is over you will receive from the
president and secretary a certificate
showing that your consignment has been
on exhibition at the fair: take that to
the Office of the railway company that
hauled your freight and you will receive
all your money back without any delay
The -eason this charge is made at the
beginning is that the railroads may be
protected from handling freight which
was not in fact for exhibition at the fair
On page l57 of the fair premium list
you will find full particulars concerning
this very important matter, and every
word you there read is official and ap-
plies to every railroad leading into
pueblo

py married life.

stockmen Should Take Action.

Notices posted at the yards this morn
ing by the local inspector in charge state
that the following counties in eastern
colorado have been eliminated from the
mango quarantine district and that all
cattle coming from these counties or
parts Of counties will from now on be
Shipped as "uninspected clean CATTLE"
upon permit from DR.. Lowell Clark, in
charge OF the district, which permit is to
oe good for ten days. Cattle so shipped
VIII be Inspected at the yards and il
found clean will be allowed to 90 unre-
stricted. Where cattle from this territory
are to be shipped direct to the feed lots,
IL such feed lots are without the state,
they must be inspected before shipping
and upon being found clean can be NOV
ed unrestricted. The counties elminat-
ed are as follows: Boulder, Gilpin. JET.
ferson, Douglas, Teller, Fremont, Custer,
huerihno and that part OF Arapahoe
loading on A. L. a S. F. railway and ID.
y X. q. railway. Also that part OF Las
Animas county west OF the c. & S. rail
way-Denver Record d-Stockman.
The stockmen around Elbcrt and IN
western Elbert county should take this
matter up before DIR. Lowell Clark OF
Denver and have this territory eliminat-
ed the same as Douglas, Jefferson and
other counties are. We have no mango,
itch or other diseases in this section that
we should be placed among the quaran
tine districts. Our cattle are all run in
pastures with the best of feed and care
and II the government was informed OF
our condition, and investigate same, IL
would without doubt place US where
We belong.
The government compels all cattle be-
ing shipped or driven out OF the state
that are from the quarantine districts to
be dipped at an expense Of Sl0o to 81 80
per head. The shipper pays this. but he
is going to buy our cattle at figure so
be will not be the loser, consequently he
takes it of the price at which he buys
the cattle. Are the stockmen, however
small, going to stand it? They should
take action now.

Freight Tied Up by Strike.

The strike of the Colorado Il Southern
switchmen at Denver has tied up lot
of farm machinery billed to Elbert and
neighboring towns and local dealers are
shipping in binders, mowers and rakes
by express when they can secure them,
as very little freight is being hauled out
from Denver. The strike is assuming
serious proportions and bids fair to ex
tend to other roads. 1t was caused by
100 switchmen demanding an increase in
their pay of two cents an hour. The
company refused the increase claiming
the switchmen had violated their agree
ment and that the men we're already
being paid as high wages as were paid
in any city in the middle west
Later-The strike of the Colorado &
Southern employees is ended as the re
suit Of conference Tuesday afternoon
between p II. Morrisey, representing the
strikers, and officials of the Colorado d
Southern. All the strikers resumed
work yesterday morning at Z o'clock
According to the agreement arrived at,
the men returned to work at the same
rate OF pay as they were getting when
they struck, and the settlement of all
questions concerning pay for the future

Joe D" a Winner.

Another exciting horse race took place
Saturday afternoon on the straightaway
course near the county line south of
town. 1t was match race for 500 a
side between Peterson's Dollie V and an
unknown ~ brown horse in the possess
ion of the Colorado Springs parties who
we're the losers in recent race on the
same track. The distance was 600 yards
and the brown horse won by scant two
lengths in fast time, the quarter being
run in % seconds or better.
1t now transpires that the brown horse
was ringer being none other than
Joe ID, said to be the fastest short dis
tance horse in Colorado, and many
times winner at Overland, Roswell and
the state fair. The hackers Of the brown
horse were SO certain OF winning that
they offered odds Of two to one and con
siderable money. several horses, saddles
and watches changed hands over the re
suit. The Ebert crowd came home,
many poor in purse but rich in expert
ence. Alfred Peterson says he is still
ahead Of the game, but no more horse
racing for him; that for the boys.
The Peterson boys have matched Dol
lie V against horse of Charlie Walker
called Neverseen, and the race-three-
eighths OF a mile-will be run on the
hiowa track on September 8.
