His Bright Idea.

Pat was digging ditch. On the
first day of the job he dug and dug,
but made small progress. He went
back next morning only to find that
what he had done the day before
was entirely wiped out by cave-in.
Then a brilliant idea occurred to
Pat. Half burying his pick and
shovel in the earth, leaving only
the ends sticking out, he carefully
threw his coat and dinner pail over
the edge of the cave-in and then
hid. In a short time people came
along, took in the situation at a
glance, jumped at the conclusion
that the laborer had been caught in
the fall of the bank and went to
work hastily, trying to uncover his
body. Half an hour later three
sweating and puzzled men stood by
the nearly completed ditch and won
dered where the buried man was.
Then Pat came out from his retire
ment and said: '"Hhank We, gentle
men. | knowed you'd bite on that." "

Ready With the Answsr.

Miss Baxter, feeling the effects
OF torrid afternoon in June, was
. attempting to arouse the interest
of her lsnguid class by giving, as
she supposed, an interesting talk ON
the obelisk. After speaking for
half an hour she found that her ef-
forts were wasted. Feeling utterly
provoked, she cried: Every word

were noted the curious blunders
made by those who asked for books.
"Worcester's Diseases of the Colan-

INSISTED ON JUSTICE.
Some One Had to Suffer to Satisfy the
JUDGES Conscience.

AS a burglar was trying TO break
into a house of citizen of an
oriental city the framework of the
second story window to which he
clung gave way, and he fell and
broke his leg. Limping before the
justice the next day. he Indignantly
demanded that the owner of the
house be punished.
"You shall have justice" said the
judge.
The owner, being summoned,
claimed that the accident was due
70 the poor woodwork and that the
carpenter, not he, was to blame.
"That sounds reasonable" said
the Judge. 'Iet the carpenter be
called"
The carpenter admitted that the
\ window was defective. "But how
could l do better" said he, "when
the mason work was out of plumb?'
~To be sure" replied the judge,
and he sent for the mason.
The mason could not deny that
the coping was crooked. He ex-
planned that while he was placing
it in position his attention was dis
tracted from his work by pretty
girl in blue tunic who passed on
the other side of the street.
"Then YOU are blameless," said
the judge, and the girl was sent
fer.
'T admit" said she, "that I am
pretty, but that's not my fault, and
If the blue tunic attracted the ma
sons attention the dyer, not l, is
responsible"
aThat's good logic" said the
Judge. 'Let the dyer be called"
The dyer came and pleaded
guilty.
"Take the wretch" said the
Judge to the thief, "and hang him
from his own doorpost."
The people applauded this wise
Aentence and hurried off to carry 1t
out. Soon they returned and re-
ported that the dyer was too tall to
be hung from his doorpost.
"Find short dyer and hang him
instead" said the Judge, with
yawn. 'Iet justice be done at any
cost"

GRAND MASTER
Banquet Given in Honor Of Dr.. Whh.

Lodge

The Masonic lodge OF this City
celebrated the official visit of
Grand Master Whitwell last Satur-
day night in a way that will not
soon oe forgotten by those in attend
ance.
The members of the order gath
cred at the lodge hall at an early
hour and after the business of the
evening listened to a mastery y
and pleasing address by the visit
ing official. After lodge the mem
bers adjourned to the Evans Hotel
where they were joined by their
wives and all repaired to the din
ing hall, where mine host Evans
served a banquet that was a Joy
to the appetites of those present.
The room was decorated in ribbons
draped from the walls of the room
across and entwined about the
chandeliers. The tables were load
ed with vases of cut flowers Of all
varieties The tables formed very
pleasing appearance and added much
to the JOY of the event.
After sumptuous repast toasts
were called for from several of
those gifted in speech making and
the call was responded to hy remarks
that were appropriate and fitting
to the icasion. DR.. Whitwell
was elected to his high office last
fall and this is his first Official
visit to the Mountain Home lodge.
He expressed himself we'll pleased
with the condition of the lodge
and stated that it was one of the
most flourisking along the line.

the residents of Denver to provid,
the best Accommodations for their
visitors.
The chief reasons for believeing
lrge crowd will be in attendance
at the convention in July are that
each year the summer migration
from the east begins about the mid
lie OF June and continues all sum-
mer. BY the first of July it is at
its height and thousands of tour
lists are arriving in Denver daily to
spend the summer. These throngs,
added TO those who will attend the
convention, will make a record
crowd for Denver to take care of,
hence the extra preparations.
Nearly every hotel in Denver pre-
vides a free convention hall for
bodies that meet in this city in
such small numbers that they can
be Accommodated in a moderate sized
assembly room. Convention getting
is regular business and a conven-
tion league, with experts in secur-
ing conventions in its employ,
thrives here. The chief attraction,
aside from the cooncss of the at
mosphere is the beauty of the
scenery, is the unfailing attention
and courtesy given all who come as
delegates. The new auditorium,
now beihg constructed at the city
expense, will be one of the largest
assembly halls in the United
States, seating 25, 600 people, and
will offer still greater attractions
for conventions.
