When Benjamin T. Butler lived in
Lowell, Massachusetts, he had a lit
tie black-and-tan dog One morning,
as he was coming down the street,
followed by the dog, a policeman
stopped him and told him that. in ac-
cordance with an ordinance Just pass
ed, he must muzzle the dog.
Very well, said Butler.
Next morning he came along with
the dog, and the policeman again told
him Of the muzzling ordinance and
requested him to muzzle the dog.
"All right" snorted Butler. 1T
is a fool ordinance, but I'll muzzle
him. Let me pass"
Next morning the policeman was on
the lookout Il beg your pardon Cen
eral, he said. 'but | must arrest you.

Not muzzled shouted Butler mot

The policeman looked more care
fully at the dog and found a tiny toy
muzzle tied to its tail.
General" he expostulated, this
dog is not properly muzzled"
Yes, he is, sir" asserted Butler.
"Yes he Is. | have examined that
idiotic statute and | find 1t says that
every dog must wear a muzzle. It
doesn't say where the dog shall wear
a muzzle, and choose to decorate the

shooting rabbits and squirrels. He

While he only smiles knowingly
and will not boast OF his exploits. his
friends feel certain that he has fought
tigers hand to hand; wTestled with
elephants and thrown them with the
1iu-Jitsu clutch, and has roped lions
and branded them by the herd with the
fiank-mark 1T. r." The whole world
has looked on with admiring eyes,
while all Africa has jumped at every
crack of the gun. You would think
that would be glory enough for any
man, especially when he knows that
miles of giraffes, hippopotami, gnus,
zebras and leopards will be erected In
his memory at the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. But not so. The ambitious
man is never satisfied; and Brutus
hath told you that he was ambitious. 50

WHILE SLEEPING ON COUCH
DEATH ANGEL CALLED HER

While sleeping peacefully and with
her family unaware of her being i'm
any danger of death. Mrs Beverly X.
] Currie, wife of the well known build
ing contractor and herself one of the
oldest and best known residents of
the. city, passed from life some time
yesterday afternoon between the
hours of 2:3O and 6::SO at the Currie
home at 2fS OuIay avenue. The
death. so unexpected, was Il terrible
shock TO the relatives and the friends.
Mrs. CurI'ie had not been feeling
well for several days but had been up
and about her household duties as
usual. Yesterday afternoon about
half past two O'Clock she said to one
of the members of her family that
she was tired and would take nap.
She laid down on a couch and appar-
emily went 10 sleep. Once or twice
during the afternoon her youngest
daughter noticed her mother on the
couch and took IL for granted that she
was still sleeping calmly and peace
fully. Mr.. Currie was at work on n
building in the northwest part of the
city.
About O O'Clock MIR. Currie came
home, was told his wife was sleeping
and he then spent some time in
sprinl<ling the lawn. Then he came
into the house and at half past six
O'Clock II daughter went To arouse
Mrs. Currie for the evening meal.
Mrs. Currie did not respond to the
call and then the daughter discovered
that her mother was not sleeping but
was dead. The daughters screams
brought MIR. Currie and others TO the
couch on which the dead woman lay.
Life was extinct, Mrs. Currie had
been dead for some time, just how
long IL is impossible to tell.
Mrs. Currie had suffered from n
trouble of the heart and this trouble
probably caused her death.
The deceased was about 80 wears
of age. She is survived by her hus-
band, three sons and two daughters,
two or three of the children residing
in other cities.
Mrs. Currie was woman of noble
devoted to her family and
beloved by many friends. Her death
causes much sorrow.
The bereaved husband has suffered
n double loss at the hands of the |
Grim Reaper within the past two
weeks. his aged mother, Mrs. Rachael
Currie dying some days ago.
The funeral arrangements are nm
der the direction of Undertaken
KrohR.
The deceased was member of
Apple blossom Circle, Women of
Moderate, of the Woman's Relief |
Corps and of the Maccabecs. The |
Women of MODERATE will have
charge of the funeral services which |
will he held on Sunday afternoon at
2:30 O'Clock from the residence.
Revs. Miller and Davis, of the Bap-
tist church, Will conduct the services.
nI.A.s
orders will attend in body.
Those who knew her well declare
that no woman in Grand Junction
was more considerate of her friends
and neighbors than Mrs. Currie. She
was ever, in n quiet, unobtrusive way.
doing acts of charity and kindness.
She was truly one of those persons
who believe in loving "thy ncighbor
rs thyself'' and anyone in sickness
or SORROW, Mrs. Curric made her
neighbor. Hers was sweet and n
noble life.
