For An Idle Moment

A young Mother" asks our opinion of
''tne alleged injurious effects of rocking
on babies
We must frankly say that we consider
it a brutal practice. AS the father of
grert many babies, of all ages, we
never rocked on any of them intention
ally, and we would probably be arrested
if we expressed our full opinion Of any
woman who would presume to do so.
Our little William, aged 4, is very fond
Of cheese. One day he heard his mother
speaking about fishing for drowned per-
sons and he instantly said: Mother, if |
get drowned, you won't have any trouble
fishing me out, if you bait the line with
with cheese"
When the butcher responded to his
telephone bell, the shrill voice of little
girl greeted his ears.
"HellO, is this Mr.. W."
"Yes," he answered kindly.
"Well, do you know anything about
where grandpa's liver is? We've looked
everywhere but we can't find it?"
A celebrated Anglican divine, the late
Bishop Of Rochester, who had been all
ing for some months, decided to consult
Sir Frederick Treves, the noted surgeon.
After careful examination, Sir Fred
erick pronounced his verdict and added:
"YOur lOrdship must go to Algiers or
some winter resort on the Riviera"
''ImpOssibIe," replied the bishop; quite
impossible. [ have too much work to
get through"
"Well," said the doctor, "you must
make your choice. 1t IS either Algiers
or heaven"
"Dear mew exclaimed the bishop with
sigh; ''then [ suppose it must be AL
giers.'
When Charles Dudley Warner was the
editor of the Hartford Conn., Press back
in the sos, arousing the patriotism of
the state by his vigorous appeals, one Of
the typesetters came in from the com
posing room and, planting himself be-
fore the editor, said: "Well Mr., Warner
I've decided to enlist in the army
With mingled sensatisn of pride and
responsibility, Mr.. Warner replied en-
couragingly that he was glad to see that
the man felt the call of duty.
"Oh. it isn't that" said the truthful
cOmpOsitor; 'but I'd rather be shot than
to try to set any more Of your copy"
One day as a minister was passing
down the street in Scranton where he
resided he was seen by some hangers on
at public house which he was approach
ing and one Of the number called to him
and said: eve have dispute here of
some Importance and like you to decide.
1t is in relation to the age Of the devil;
can you tell us how old he is?" Gentle
men," said the minister with dignity:
''YOu must keep your own family record"
At the time when Gen. Burnside's
force was beseiged in Knoxville, Tenn,
with an apparent danger of being
starved into surrender, a telegram came
one day from Cumberland Gap, an
nouncing that Firing is heard in the
direction of Knoxville"
"Glad of itP' exclaimed Mr.. Lincoln.
"Why should you be glad of it?" asked
a friend who was present, in some sur
prise.
"Why, you see," he exclaimed, sit re-
minds me Of Mrs. Sallie Ward, neigh
Dor of mine. She had very large fam
lily: Occasionally one of her numerous
progeny would be heard crying in some
out-of-the-way place and she would ex
claim. There's one of my children that
isn't dead yeti"

The meanest young man has been To-
Gated. He went to call on what he
would like to nave been his girl the
other night and was cody received.
He noticed as he went in that she stuck
her chewing gum on the bottom of a
chair. He watched his opportunity and
got possession of that chair and un-
observed, took the gum and fattening it
out wrapped it around piece of tobacco
and replaced it in its former position.
Then he changed seats and waited for
results, which were not long in coming.
He doesn't call there any more.

REV. ]. N. DIckEY
FOR GLENHOoD CHURCH

The Methodist conference which was
of this week is said to have been one
of the most successful ever held and
much credit is given Bishop Joseph H.
Berry of Buffalo, N. Y, and brother
of DIR. Berry of this city. In speaking
of the conference and of Bishop Berry,
the Pueblo Chieftain of Tuesday said
in part:
The conference was attended by
many men who are prominent in the
church work in different parts of the
United States. These ministers gave
lectures which were instructive as well
as entertaining and the Pueblo mem
hers of the church who attended learn
ed much about the work of the church
all over the world.
The conference transacted a large
volume of business during the week 3
work. The mornings were devoted to
conference business and usually the
while in the evenings there were lee
lures. banquets and various entertain
ments.
Bishop Berry, who presided, is from
Buffalo, N. Y. He is an ideal presii-
ing officer and the members of the con-
ference, many of whom had not met
him before, fell in love with his gentle
manner and kindly bearing. To the
ministers of Colorado he stands as a
Christian gentleman, which is the
highest compliment they can pay him.
The following assignments were
made by Bishop Berry to churches in
the neighborhood of Glenwood:
Glenwood Springs. J. NJ. Dickey.
Aspen, Josiah Martin. formerly of
this city.

GRAND VALLEY FRUIT DAY

Wednesday. September 10, will be a
red letter day in Grand Valley for the
fruit men of that sect ion are bending
every effort to have on exhibition the
finest display of fruit ever seen in the
state. Apples, pears. peaches, and in
fact every kind of fruit that can be
secured and which is raised in that see
tion will be placed where the people
can feast their eyes and see for them
selves just what Grand Valley pro
duces.
Prizes which total 81 900 have been
offered. while special prizes by the
Grand Valley merchants have swelled
the grand total to well over the thous
and dollar mark. 1t will certainly be
worth the time and expense of anyone
to go to the big fruit display.

BAXTER FIRES TWO SHOTS

Late last Friday night, young fel
low who had been working at the lum-
Der yard in this city imbibed too freely
of squirrel juice with the dispensers
in their resorts run by "Glenwood s
Happy Family and, after causing
some little excitement in the Bart Pc
trini saloon at the corner of Seventh
and Blake streets, he was chased down
toward Grand avenue by Bart, who
seemed anxious to pummel the fellow.
Night Policeman Baxter was called
and started after the fellow, but was
no match in foot race, and seing
that his man was going to get away,
he pulled his gun and fred two shots,
one in the air and the other into the
ground, in an effort to stop the runner.

DELTA COUNTY FAIR

Over in Delta county, where fruit is
being shipped to eastern markets in
greater quantities than ever before,
the enterprising people are inviting the
state to come and spend September
10, l6 and IL in feasting the eye on
the products of the county, which will
be on display in Delta on these dates.
As an added inducemem, the rail
roads are giving rates of one fare fo-
the round trip and as Delta has sent
her delegations to attend our fete days,
the Post believes that we owe it to
the Delta people and especially the
managers of the Delta County Fair
association, to accept the invitation
and attend the three days of big do
ings. 1t is reported that fruit crops
were never as large in Delta county
as this year and as Delta itself is one
of the pretties,. towns in the state and
a model that it would be well for Glen
wood to follow. we believe everyone
attending will be more than repaid for
going.
