March 4 Is Day Of Regrets
for White House Employees

2 York on White House business, and
/ went to see Mr.. Cleveland, who was
! living there at the time. l remember
! that we rode downtown together on the
street cars, and Mr. Cleveland was
; iostled around quite like an ordinary
man. That is the sad part about it.
( When a man is in the White House he
! is the president. and receives the hom-
/ age of every one. When his term ex-
pires. he is lust a citizen. He has to
] hustle for the cars like any one else.
There is another man in the White
House who is president, and the people
are interested in him.
''When Mrs Grant retired from the
White House she went around the build
ing and shook hands with every one
and said goOdby. Mrs. Lincoln's de-
parture was the saddest l ever wit
messed President Lincoln was assas-
sinated on April IA, 1865, and died the
next morning. The bolt fell with the
force of a bolt from a clear sky. Presi-
dent johnson took up his headquarters
in the treasury building for ten days,
in which time Mrs. Lincoln made her
sorrowful preparations to leave
'sThe going away of Mrs. Garfield
was sad, too. but General Garfield lin
gered for a long time before his death,
and the blow to his wife was not so
sudden as that to Mrs. Lincoln. Mrs.
Mckinley returned to the White House
after the assassination, but she never
returned after she had accompanied the
remains of her husband to Canton. -
IT is probable that President Roose-
Welt and his family will return to Oys-
ter Bay on the afternoon of March 4,
although they may remain for the in
augural ball Most of the presidents
have left Washington Immediately after
the Inauguration of their successors,
but Arthur did not do so, nor did
Hayes. both remaining for some time.
So cordially did he hate Grant that
President Andrew johnson refused to
accompany his successor to the capitol
for the Inauguration, but went off in
huff to the bosom of some of his cronies.
GAS a general thing the president is
actually relieved to leave his office, -
said Colonel Crook. " President Har-
rison, when he said goodby to me, said:
| IN glad to get out of harness.. Mr.
Cleveland said to me, Il feel every
morning when / arise and remember
the work before me as though | had
yoke around my neck. -

The Maharajah Gaekwar of Baroda
has melted down and converted into
bullion the celebrated gold and silver
cannon of Baroda. OF these costly but
useless toys, the silver guns were the
inspiration of former Gaekwar. In
order to "go one better than his
predecessor, the late Gaekwar had the
gold guns cast, and mounted at a cost
it is said, of 100000. They reposed

Throw Out the Games.

The board of directors of the
Arkansas Valley High School league
met Saturday at La Junta to decide
on some questions pertaining to the
welfare of the league. Messrs. c. A.
Robins, +. X. Jones, NJ. NJ. Mcclure
and Draper and Thompson were pre-
sent. Mr.. Corey, the Las Animas
representative. making himself very
conspicuous by his absence.
Many questions concerning the good
principal one was to consider what
to do with Las Animas. 1t is a
well known fact that Las Animas
has been playing Kyeybill, who is not
eligible for High School athletics.
After considering the question quite
thoroughly, they thought the only
way to do was to call off all games
Las Animas hadplayed when Kreybill
took part. This left Las Animas with
a perfect record with one game won.
but La Junta also had perfect re-
cord and two games won. So 1t was
decided that La Junta and Las Anima
would play a post season game in
Rocky Folrd next Saturday, Dec. 3,
to settle the championship. 1t is
quite probable that Las Animas will
forfeit the game. for If they played
the game it would in itself admit
their guilt.
Whether this was a fair way to
decide the championship many people
doubt. for it practically gives the
pennant to La Junta, and if the board
wanted to do this. why didn't they
come right out and do It?
The men had a very pleasant day
and all members of the board ex-
pressed their opinion that Lamar had
the best team in the league. There
is no question in our minds. we know
we had the best team.

this week by the strike at well No.

The company has been at work
with an energy and grit worthy of
the greatest rewards for over a year.
1t has been composed entirely OF
nome people and in spite of the ad-
verse opinions of many oil experts
they have persevered and spent many
thousands of dollars. 1t now looks
as if they were to be rewarded and
certainly deserve it. When they
