For Colorado FratsrnaI Organizations.

All of our readers who are members
of fraternal organizations will be inter-
ested in learning that the management
of the Colorado State fair at Pueblo, has
set aside September 18th as fraternal
day. 1t is the intention to have as many
lodges as possible from all over the state
attend, each in body, and particularly
the drill teams. The state fair officers
realize that fraternity occupies an i'm
portant sphere among the people and
represents phase of modern life and
activity almost as important as any Of
the various industries which fairs are in
the habit of fostering and encouraging.
Unquestionably it is wise move on
the part of the state fair to thus en-
courage fraternalism, and we predict
that Fraternal day will be grand sue
cess.
Large prizes are offered for the best
drill team work of the various lodges
and orders, and should stimulate much
drill team practice among the different
organizations. The grand prize of $3.50
is to go to the best drill team of sixteen
members and captain from any fraternal
order or lodge in Colorado. Then there
will be purse of $50 for the best drill
team from each of the various other Or
ders, including the w. o. w., the M.
w. A., the X. of p, the l. o. O. F.,
the Maccabees and Yoemen. Special
prizes will be offered other lodges de-
string to compete.
Three big prizes will be given to the
orders having the greatest number Of
members in line on Fraternal day; $500
for the first; $50 for the e'seeond; 500
for the third. These liberal prizes un-
doubtedly will stimulate a strong inter-
est among the general membership Of

Next month the Observer will publish
a story entitled, "The Real Agatha,
written by Edith Huntington Mason, an
authoress of worldwide fame. 1t is
considered one of the best serials ever
published in newspaper and as it has
been enjoyed wherever read cannot fail
to please the readers of the Observer.
1t is charming tale of young girl
whose parents were English, but who
was reared in America and was left
heiress to twenty millions by her Amer
lean stepfather, providing she escaped
fortune hunters and married according
to her stepfather's will. By an original
method she manages to find her true
lover, keep her fortune secret and
give good time to five other girls in
accordance with the terms of the famous
will.
Agatha's story is told in the first per-
son by Terhune, an eligible bachelor
who fees from London gayeties to the
country with his friend Freddy Vincent,
the penniless younger son of duke.
Their train is delayed in a meadow land
and Vincent insists upon game of golf
while they are waiting. On the links
they meet bewitching American girl,
and the ever-ready Vincent soon learns
that she is the Honorable Agatha Wyck-
hoff, owner of the estate and the man,
moth castle. Meantime the train has
left and the Honorable Agatha invites
them to the castle, where, to their
amazement they are introduced to five
other American girls who are all Hon.
orable Agathas and are equally beauti-
full.

After dinner the quiet little secretary
of the chaperon summons them to the
library to hear the terms of the will if
they are candidates for the hand of the
Honorable Agatha. The men feel they
must be in some kind of an asylum, but
assure her they are candidates. The
will states that after the education of
Agatha she shall procure five young
girls of the name of Agatha to return
with her to her estates in England for
two years. They are to live luxuriously
with ample entertainment and the castle
is to be filled with guests, the best Eng
land can boast. Each suitor is limited
to six weeks and no girl shall disclose
the identity of the real Agatha.
These two candidates passed their
weeks in falling in love with all the
Agathas and in comical endeavors to
discover the real heiress. Even the
servants were trained to the secret and
the clever girls gave only tantalizing
clews which mislead the men and amuse
each other. The demure secretary takes
but little part in the many festivities.
Just when Terhune is positive that he
has found which is the rich maiden and
urges penniless Freddy to propose to
her, that reckless young man elopes
with the timid secretary, to find after
their marriage-but let the reader also
find out.
This is an interesting story whose
characters are livable, lovable Ameri-
can girls and which weaves a clever
plot about the worn theme of the pur-
suit of the American heiress.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
EIGHTH GRADE DAY.

On Thursday, May 3lst, nearly every
school in the county was represented by
teachers and pupils in attendance in the.
high school assembly rooms to hear the
various exercises of Eighth grade day.
After chorus, 1.-THE Fairies Moon
light Dance" by the high school, Mr..
Frank Morrison, president of the SEN
ior class, made the welcome address to
the visiting schools. Frank made
first-class chairman and gave hearty
and enthusiastic welcome to the young
people who were our guests for the day.
Responses were given by Enoch John
son, representing Black Hawk, Delmar
Brown, representing Bald Mountain,
and Rickard McNichols, representing
st. Aloysius academy. They all voiced
the good feeling and spirit of friendly
cooperation that exists among the
schools of Gilpin county. The program
consisted of some excellent papers by
members of the senior class, laboratory
experiments and a gymnasium program.
After the program the visitors divided
their attention between the school ex-
hibit on the lower floor of the Hale
building and the baseball game at City
park. The ball gsme between the first
and second high school teams resulted
in victory for the first team.
The school building was open Thurs
day night until 10 o'clock to accommo-
date people who wished to see the
school exhibit. 1t is being kept open
between seven and ten o'clock on Tues
day and Thursday nights this week, and

day night of next week to give every
one an opportunity to see the work of
the school. The eighth grade program
and the school exhibit will be given
annually and in order to fully appreci-
ate next years exhibit you should see
this one. If you have not yet seen it,
be sure to come next Tuesday night.
Supt. Douglas of the Louisville
schools was visitor on Monday. He
spent considerable time in the exhibit
rooms and remarked that the exhibit
was one of the finest he had ever seen.
The Golden trip was a great success.
An account of the trip, written by one
of the boys, will appear in another col
umn. After all expenses were paid
there remained 81. so in the fund and as
this would be very small amount when
divided among the contributors it was
decided to purchase large photograph
of the group of boys, have it framed
and hang it in the upper hall of the
Hale building, as a memento of the
trip.
Earnest Colburn and Chester Coving-
ton of the Apex schools enjoyed the
Golden trip.
Percy Roberts, Delmar Brown, Cliff
ton Semmers, Fred Harris, Herman
Paul and John Ling were the Nevada
vile boys on the special train Thursday.
John Keleher, Rickard McNichols,
James Henley and George Lewis were
the representatives of St. Aloysius
academy on the Golden trip.
Russell Gulch had but one boy on the
trip but he enjoyed it enough to make
up for the small representation.
Frank Backus, Arthur Malet, Her
man Waldhart and Enoch johnson COM
prised the Black Hawk delegation to
Golden.
There were forty-two in the Central
City school delegation including the
theachers, and fifty-nine altogether
who made the trip.
