checked trousers, white spats, with his
monocle fastened securely in place
and himself decorated with a bushy
tall. The chairmans young hopeful,
garbed in continental uniform and
cooked hat, was operating the tall
piece. This was but doubled strand
or rope fitted around Dickey's stom.

extra twist or two it became torture

The crowd went wild with delight
at the novelty Of the entertainment
while Dickey roared, and howled and
sWore, and vowed vengeance upon
Plumville and the entire nation.
The 500 worth Of fireworks with
which Plumville wound up its celebTa-
ton were promptly paid for when the
Dill was presented Dickey spent his
birthday in bed in the town hospital.

THE ONE DAY,

Sizz! Boom! Bang!
You can't get away,
SO you may as well stay
To the big show

But once this year.
Promptly at midaight
The rcd light
Begins to burn
And no one dares turn
1t low
Until the last tirecracker has been ex.
plOded.
HaTk, children. the day Is loaded,
And you'll know it when you see it
Unless your ear NUTS fit
Pretty quick.
1t is the reflex action of the big stick,
The only and original grand aggrega-
ton Of noise.
Come and bring your boys.

A Bit OF Advice.
Tie the thumbs on little Willie
As he wanders forth to play.
It may look a trfe silly,
Put he'll need the thumbs some day
He may chafe at the restriction
And protest against the plan.
But youll have his benediction
When ne gets to be man.

John M. Maxwell, Republican
candidate for reelection to the
Supreme bench this fall, came to
Colorado in 1877. and has been
on the Supreme bench since
April 1905, when the Court of
Appeals was consolidated with
the Supreme bench. He is known
and admired by those who have
come in contact with him in that
capacity as one of the most eff
cient members of that tribunal;
his ability, integrity, clear in
sight and absolute sense of jus
tice being recognized by the law
yers of the state, who are anx-
ious to have him retained in the
high position he is so well quail
fed to fill.
Personally Judge Maxwell is q
quiet, retiring and dignified gen.
tleman, but strong, sincere and
forceful, possessing the happy
faculty of making many friends,
and retaining them through his
absolute sincerity and charm OF
personality.

judge or as a citizen, by re-elect

ing Judge Maxwell to the Su-
preme bench this fall, the high
est judiciary of the state will be
honored and strengthened by his
retention. The Supreme Court
is one of the most important is
sues in this campaign, and the
voters of the state should show
their appreciation of a man for
that office who has, both in his
capacity as a judge and as a
gentleman. been above suspicion

of the Grand Junction High School
could not play ball at the latter city
last Saturday because of the storm.
The basket ball teams played in doors.
Delta team defeating Grand Junction
by score of is to D. The Junction
News credits much of this victory to
Miss Nellie Cook, running center of
the Delta team.
The excursion train taking the play
ers to Grand Junction got there safely,
but after starting to bring them home
was caught at Whitewater between a
landslide and washout, and the Delta
people did not get home until 10 o'clock
Monday evening, being gone three days
instead of one.
In speaking of the calling off of this
game the News says:
The calling off of this date makes
it harder to fight for the champion
ship, as there will only be one game
and this one at Delta, and neither side
will know the respective strength of
the teams. All other dates for the
season are full.
