uncoupled today when he was out
driving and his splendid carriage

EAGLES VERSUS ELKS.

When it became known through
the medium of the Glenwood Dai-
ly Post that Clint Marvin of the
Topic bar had secured NAM
moth Missouri turkey which
would be disposed of by drawing
Christmas eve, each customer to
take chance, there was much
speculation as to just where that
turk would finally land.
The Elks of Aspen decided that
they wanted to include Mr.. Tom
Turk among their many gifts to
the poor, and accordingly dis
patched committee to Glenwood
with instructions to secure checks
to the amount of $40 and if un-
successful in landing the prize at
the drawing to purchase the bird
OF the winner, spending another
ten if necessary.
Now the local aerie of Eagles
decided that this fowl would
make a proper ornament to their
tables at the regular lodge meet
ing tomorrow evening, and they
were represented at the drawing
by numerous checks, but neither
of these influential orders could
influence the final deal on which
that turkey was awarded, and
Charles Burns, Rio Grande
yardman, was declared the owner
of the big turkey.
Then the local Eagles got busy,
and the way they hustled around
to keep that bird from going to
Aspen was a caution. In the
meantime the Aspen Elks were
not idle. but Burns, who was not
present at the drawing and up to
this time know nothing of his
good fortune, was finally located
by the Eagles at the opera house
and readily accepted an offer of
$5 for his'prize. He might as eas.
lily have had $40 if he had known
of the rivalry of the two orders.
1t now transpires that Burns
had not even purchased a drink

An interesting entertainment
was provided Tuesday evening by

There was a Christmas tree and

AT THE METHODIST CHURCH

The Christmas cantata "The
Shepherd King" which was rem

Tuesday evening was pronounced
by all a genuine success. The
members of the regular choir, as
well as those who kindly assisted
them, all acquitted themselves
well, while the children took their
parts in an almost perfect man.
ner. The arrangement of the
lights was well adapted to the
story depicted and especially ap-
propriate was the representation
of the Bethlehem star.
The sweetest and most popular
scene was the cradle setting, and
the assistance given Mrs. Gavin
by little Mae Thomas and a num-
ber of children from the Sunday
school classes in bringing out the
beautiful lesson was greatly en-
joyed.
The Post has been asked to ex-
tend the thanks of the church and
choir to Miss Finley for her ap-
propriate reading so beautifully
rendered and to Mesdames Gavin

in the cantata and contributed
much to the success of the affair.

INJURED WHILE
PLAYING SANTA CLAUS.

While playing Santa Claus on
Christmas eve, John Robertson
passed through an experience that
he will never forget. At the Rob
erson home, corner of Eighth and
Colorado, John, attired in the full
vestments Of the children s patron
saint, approached too near to the
lighted candles. His costume
caught fire. He rushed from the
house and rolled in the snow on
the lawn until the flames were ex
tinguished. The witnesses say
he was lucky to escape with his
life. His injuries were very pain
full but not dangerous.

STORM PARLIAMENT
sUFFRAGISTs MAKE 4 NUMBER OF
 DEMONSTRATIONS.
Policemen Were Forewarned and Eas- lily Repulsed Severe Hat Pin on Falls of the British Vote
 Deairfng Women.

London. March 20.--The woman suf- fragists attempted today a demon stration raid on parliament more im- portant and more numerous than any of their previous efforts.
 The police, however. had timeiy warning and made preparations that resulted in making the demonstration somewhat ineffective The only re- suit was some amusing disorderly scuffles and the arrest of nearly sev- enty suffragists who were at once liberated on bail.
 Previous to the demonstration an indignation meeting was largely at- tended by the so-calIed "suffragists and their friends was held at Caxton Hall, where the speakers denounced the House of Commons for stifiing the Dickinson women suffrage pill:
 The raid was led by Lady Barber ton. who was assisted by the most prominent women who took part In the previous raids. The women drove up in wagons and after prom enading before the Houses of parlia- ment stormed the entrance or the House of Commons where the police endorsements, drawn up for the oc- casion, waited the onslaught and drove tho women back.
 After this first rebuff the women made a second attempt to penetrate the police cordon but all to little pur- pose. In accordance with instruc- tions the police employed against the women as little force as possible. At a late hour this evening the suf- fragists assembled at Caxton Hall and amid the greatest enthusiasm passed a resolution to send another deputa- tion to the premier and renew their demonstrations before parliament Accordingly another move was made against the House of Commons, the disorderly scene swere repeated on a smaller scale and several further ar rests were made.
