pleasant Valley No 3.

Now then last week lost out
Without ever thinking what l was
about,
But then this week I'll be here,
AS the Fourth of July is drawing near
And all the people, will have a good
time,
And give me more things to write in
my rhyme.
Old Ivanhoe bought him bike one time
And rode it around, for quite long
time,
But after time it went ker-smash,
And to fix it, he didn't have the cash.
So he carried it off and laid it away,
And there it lay for many day.
But now he has resurrected it up
And new contrivance has fixed up,
1t is machine to carry his mail
From his box, to his house,
Without ever fail.
He can just 60 out and turn a crank
And here comes his mail, with clankety,
clank.
Now then it must be something fine
To have continuance fixed up of this
kind,
But how it works don't hardly know,
AS live long way from old Ivanhoe.
One of his neighbors told me about
this,
Or about this machine, I'd surely have
missed.
Now then guess Id better quit,
AS the mail carrier'll be by in little
bit,
And then you know tbs growing late,
And must leave this at the gate.
And now l suppose you all will know,
That this is from your Uncle Joe.

A LITTLE BIRD MUST
HAVE WHISPERED.

Telluride Journal.
Saturday afternoon about g. 80 there
was unusual activity In the two or
three resorts about Tellurida where
open gambling had been In progress
for week. All OF a sudden The man.
ayers began removing the money and
bank rolls to safe repositories and the
placing OF their fixtures out CT the
way.
The lounging crowds did nots o..
course understand the move. The
work required but few moments
time and when everything was safely
deposited. it was explained that a
telegram had come to public official
to make a round up: arrest every
body he found gambling and appro-
pirate everything. gambling tools.
bank rolls and money. But 1t ap-
pears the Information leaked, and
when the officer appeared he found
no one gambling and nothing to ap-
propriate.
The general sentiment seems to be
that this move settles the matter OF
open gambling in Telluride, for some
time at least The operatives are re-
puted to be considerable losers by
the venture to reopen the games. In
the first place they have dealt un'
lucky. the outside players In some in.
stances drawing out neat winnings.
Then to operate the games requires
the services of fifty to seventy-five
experts. They were not here and had
to be imported. They were wired for
and expense money advanced, and OF
places from whence they came and
were at work. This aggregates n con.
siderable sum. 1t is r'rmored that the
proprietor of one house who was plan
ming to open his place today Is out
$400 in this way.
Definite and reliable information
as to this sudden turn Is not obtain
able. but street rumor says that the
bonding companies, who stand as sur
cites for various public officials, and
who were heavy losers In the Lilley
deflloations. are to blame; that they
made complaint before the district at
torney and demanded OF him that
gambling be closed down tight in Tel
iuride.
Whatever the reason, gambling is
closed with every prospect OF remain
