GOT ONE OF THE FINEST
DEER HEADS OF THE SEASON

During his recent hunting trip on
the western slope w. B. Rowland shot
one of the largest deer killed in Colo
RADIO this season. and in its head and
antlers secured for himself a splen-
did trophy. A more massive and
symetrical pair of antlers has not
been seen here for several years than
those obtained by Mr.. Rowland and
he is naturally very proud of them.
They had twelve points, or tines. and
a spread of twenty-fcur inches. They
were sent to a Colorado Springs tax
idermist to be mounted.

HAVE THE PAST THREE
YEARS BEEN LEAP YEARS

The fact that the Daily Record this
past week has published accounts Of
the weddings Of two ladies who used
to be employed by the Williams
Smith Rice Dry Goods Co., started ye
editor to rummaging thru the files
for a past issue containing the follow
ing ad:
"Saleslady Wanted.
Experienced salesladies wanted at
the Williams-SmithR Rice Dry Goods
Co., 4O3 Main street. Call at o'clock
Tuesday, morning"
The above advertisement appeared
in the Daily Record of Sept 20, and
although it was successful, of course,
and secured the necessary number of
applicants, imagine the crowd of ap-
plicants had it been generally known
that during the three years that this
firm has been in business here. they
have lost eighteen of their salesladies
because of Dan Cupid.
On entering this popular store one
is not struck with the idea that it re-
sembles a matrimonial school, pic
lures of Cupid are no where In sight;
there is no counter where ladies sell
mems gloves to give some of Canon's
crusty old bachelors chance to
stand around and overflow with love
metaphors. not even one of Gibson's
girls on the wall or a page out of one
of Hearst's papers edited by Ella
Wheeler Wilcox; but on the other
hand large stock of dry goods meets
your eye and an air of business pre-
walls. Nevertheless, although, but; his
majesty Cupid is there and has surely
found soft berth.
Mr.. Johnson says that when one Of
his salesladies comes up to the desk
now and with a shy look informs him
that after such a date they will have
to leave he at once offers congratu-
lations. An air of mystery cannot help
but surround such a record. We can
ses how "a pink shirt waist and a
plain white vest" could frame up a pro-
gram in laundry, but how the neces-
sary proceedings are pushed so fast
and ripen SO often in a dry goods
store is too much for the society edit
or. In order that this article may not
have the dire effect of flooding the
management with applicants Monday
morning and proving a hindrance to
business we will state that the force
is complete At the present time and
the management is living in hopes
that the next fellow who comes along
looking for dry goods and a wife will
get the bargains from them and then
drive on to r. L. Smiths, Baker 4
Biggs or the Eureka for their wife.
