And then the fateful Christmas
Eve will come with wintry weather,
and Morgan will hang up his shirt
with both tails pinned together; and
anything by way of luck that mana
ges to miss its yawning neck we're
welcome to, o joy and double bliss.
The happy kids will rise at morn
With rapture at the bat
And get down twenty-seven steps
With turn in nothing flat.
The tickled heart OF youth will dance
And sing in wondrous luck,
The cautious boy will climb the flue
To see if any stuck,
The house will oscillate with joy.
The breakfast will be late.
And old John d. will get the earth
For thirty winters straight.
Mr.. Roosevelt will give big
game dinner at the White House
Christmas day. All the big lion
hunters of the world will attend, and
there will be roaring contest. with
favors. The pass word of this month
is supplied by the Kaiser William.
Mum is the word. The moon will be
full on the 7th, and there will be
bad weather around 26 Broadway
every day but Sunday.
The mistletoe will tempt the maid
Beneath the chandelier,
The loving swain will halt and start
Betwixt his love and fear.
And then dash in with beating heart
And chew her blusing ear.
The birthstone for December is the
onyx This is because children are
onyxpected at the time when the
stork has to make his deliveries in
a fireless cooker.
Then Leap Year will have to run its
course
With little to its merit.
And the spinster who has missed her
chance
Will have to buy parrot.

LAMAR o; LA JNTA o.

The L. U. H. S. football team play
ed their third league game in La
Junta, and while they didn't bring
the score home with them. they did
not leave any against them with La
Junta. But they left the most sur
prised bunch Of boys in La Junta
that anyone ever saw. The game
ended in a tie of 0 to 0.
During the first half things look
ed bad for Lamar. La Junta got
within twenty yards of the goal and
Buckley dropped back for drop
kick, but Dick Strong got through
the line and blocked the ball with his
head. This was a great feat to keep
Buckley from kicking field goal. for
he has always succeeded in making
at least one against Pueblo and Colo
RADIO Springs. He is probably the
best kicker in the southeastern part
of Colorado and is without doubt the
best in the league. This one time
was the only chance La Junta had
to score on Lamar.
In the second half Lamar kicked
off and recovered the ball on La
Junta's twenty yard line and the boys
then tried a Princeton attire they
had failed on the first two downs to
make gains, but the Princeton was
blocked and this ended the chance
for Lamar to score for Buckley punt
ed the ball into Lamars territory.
The boys had one other chance to
score After they had made theii
downs three straight times the ball
was given to Lamar for fourth time
but the La Junta Captain called for
an exact measurement of the ground
gained, and it was found that the
distance was short by not over three
inches. II Lamar had made this three
inch gain, they would without doub
won the game, for La Junta had
practically given up. But Buckley
again punted La Junta out of danger
and then there was no more chance
for scoring.
There were no particular stars on
the Lamar team, but what gains they
made were made by team work and
plenty of it. Buckley was the bright
star for La Junta. and 1t can be
truthfully said that the only thing
that keptLamarfrom victory was the
| tip of Buckeys foot. La Junta was
| a lighter team, weighing 1913 to La
mars 151. but they are very speedy.
There is the most friendly feeling
existing between Lamar and La Junta
| now, and we hope 1t may continue.
| Arrangements are now being made to
play off the tie Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Thompson refereed and umpired the
game in a most satisfactory manner
for both teams.
| Most of the crowd at the football
game was from Rocky Ford and Las
Animas. Rocky Ford roofing for

HAVE PLANTS
INTELLIGENCE?

London, Aug. Preparations
are being made by the British So
ciety for the Advancement of Science
for the greatest meeting in IFS his
tory next month. when scientists
from all over the world will be pres
ent. The occasion will mark the
jubilee or semi-centennial anniver-
sary OF the announcement OF Charles
Darwin's famous theories. Francis
Darwin. son OF the great naturalist
and himself a man OF renown in
scientific circles, will preside at the
session.
Prof. Darwin Will reiterate in
his inaugural address the contention
that plants are endowed with intel
ligence. for watch he was criticised
by co-scientists years ago. Darwin
illustrates his theory chiefly by
climbing plants and the response of
plants TO the influence of light. de-
ducing therefrom that plants have
memory and so develop habits. He
will particularly describe the hop
and bryony plants. showing that
their Intelligence and memory are
hardly less than those of the lowest
animals.

FORCES of the country are preparing
silently and stealthily to center their
political battle in this congressional
district. For weeks the political
lieutenants OF President Samuel
Gompers, of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, have infested this dis
trict. making inquiries, conducting
investigations, and analyzing the
political atmosphere. AS result
1t is declared that the signs are
propituous and that another warfare
will be waged, with the object of
RELOCATING Uncle Joe" Cannon to
private life.
The labor union politicians are
not particular as to Cannons sue
cessor. They would prefer candi-
date favorable TO unionism, but
would willingly accept foe OF la
Dor. If thereby Speaker Cannon
could be made permanent resident
of Danville. In the eyes of Comp
ers, the nanville statesman is the
biggest barnacle on the ship of
state. and the command has gone
forth that he must be removed at
all cost.
There is a big labor vote in this
district, and the union men declare
that the outlook for the defeat OF
Cannon is more favorable than 1t
ever was before. Republican polit-
ical leaders, however, scoff at the
idea that Cannon can possibly be
defeated, and assert that Uncle Joe
is safe in his berth as long as he
will accept it, and that nothing
short of death or voluntary retire
ment can remove him from the po-
litical arena.

Their constituents that before the end
or the session The rules will be amend.
ed one insurgent expressed himself
today as certain that at least one
change will be made. That amend
ment. he said, would provide for a day
each week for the call Of committees
for bills on the calendars. Some
of the most optimistic regard this
change as all that is necessary to get
relief from the hardship of the present
rules. A call of committees would en-.
able committe to get before the
house all important bills of every
kind that It might desire to bring in,
and would relieve the Speaker of the
liability of being charged with prevent
ing legislation demanded by the peo-
pie 1t is acknowledged by some Of
the insurgents that their only hope

REFUSES TO SIGN
BOUNDARY BILL
Refuses to Sign 1t on Advice of At
torney General Because of Some
Changes in Line.

Washington, Dec. 10. - President
Roosevelt today returned to the Sen
ate without his signature the resolu-
tion fixing the boundary line between
Colorado and New Mexico with mes
sage giving as his reason the report
OF Attorney General Bonaparte to the
effect that the bill made material
changes in the state lines, shifting
five postoffices from one jurisdiction
to another. AS soon as the message
was read Senator Teller declared that
no important changes had been made
by this legislation, as the line was
established in 1861, and followed the
9th parallel very closely. The changes
of location, he said, did not extend a
quarter or half mile from the To-
cation generally recognized.
81 do not think" said Senator Tell.
er, that anybody who knows anything
about the subject could have informed
the President.
"The effect of the BILL he said,
''is merely to determine where the
line actually is in conformity with
previous action Of Congress. Neither
Congress nor the state of Colorado
would have a right to change it with
out consulting New Mexico and Okla
homa."
