questing the club members to cele-

several equally clever and poetic re-

Upon receiving, each guest was ad-
mitted by Miss Elsie Armstrong into
the dimly lighted hall and told to re-
move her wraps as quickly as pos

safely hidden, from first floor to at

Papers were then distributed on

MIXTURE
CURES RRHEUMATE6M

There is so much rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice will be highly appse-
ciated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
1t is claimed there are few VIC
Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture,
and in most cases permanent cure
is the result.
This simple receipt is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys SO that they
can filter and strain from the blood
and system the poisons, acids and
waste matter, which causes not only
rheumatism, but numerous other dis
eases. Every man or woman here
who feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active, or who suffers
from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture as it Is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the preparation ready to take II our
readers ask them.

an extent that would be surprising.
Such park embellished with sod Of
blue grass. with here and there a
flower bed, shade trees and benches
for the people to sit upon would soon
become one of the most wholesome
and popular resorts in the city. From
the Skyline drive it would look like
an emerald at the base of the fam
GUS hogback, and would add diversity
and beauty to one Of the most delight
full and charming scenes in all the
west. The proposed park will add a
new attraction to Canon City and will
be a monument to the enterprise and
public spiritedness of its people.

WILL PROBABLY HAVE NEW
PARK ON RAYNOLD'S
HEIGHTS THIS SUMMER

1t will be gratifying to the readers
of the Daily Record to learn that the
movemen inaugurated some time ago
to purchase the triangular piece of
property situated between Hazel and
Cooper avenues and Fifth and Sixth
streets in Reynolds Heights, for a
public park is proceeding nicely and
that the ambitions of its promoters
are likely to be realized before the
advent OF the summer months.
The tract alluded to is about the
size of Greydene Park and will make
one of the, most delightful little
pleasure grounds imaginable when the
buildings which now stand upon 1t
have been moved off and their sites
seeded to blue grass. Located is it is
on North Fifth street, along which the
majority of excursionsts making the
trip over the Skyline drive, the spot
is a peculiarly happy spot for a park
and its dedicatio to that purpose will
be very generally approved by the
people of Canon City. Its cost. what
ever that may be. will be small in
comparison with its value to the COM
munity and there will be no regrets
that it has been set aside for a pleas
ure ground which all may enjoy.
The Civic Improvement League, in
conjunction with Ragsdale & Son,
have been agitating the matter of the
park since he beginning of the year
and if the proposition succeeds, as
there is every reason to believe that
t will, they will have earned for
themselves the lasting thanks of the
community.
Parks are essential to the well-be-
'ng OF every progressive, we'll regula-
ted city. and towns with an ambition
20 grow should make provision for
them whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself for doing so. The longer
such action is delayed the more diff
culties there are in the way OF their
realization. With a carpet Of green
grass, shade trees and graveled walks
the little park we are trying to des-
cribe would be one Of the beauty spots
OF the city and would enhance the
value rf the surrounding property to

Cams Dry Humor.

When the gallant Welsh captain
David Gam was sent forward by
Henry V. to reconnoiter the French
army before the battle of Agincourt
he found that the enemy outnumbered
the English by about five to one. His
report to the king is historic:
There are enough to be killed,
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough to run away"
This quaint forecast Of the result of
the battle at once spread through the
camp, and doubtless every yeoman
archer of the valiant company felt an
Inch taller. We know that it was al
most literally justified by the event.
Poor Cams dry humor was equaled
by his courage. He was killed while

Hungary swarms with barristers 1t
Is the greatest ambition of the Hunga-
rian peasant to make one of his sons
an advocate.
The son of a small farmer in the
neighborhood of Budapest was sent by
his father to the law school of that
town, but either from lack of parts
or the necessary application he was
plucked in the qualifying examina-
ton.
Not daring to return to the paternal
abode empty handed after all the mon
ey that had been spent on his educa-
ton, he conceived and executed the
plan of forging a legal diploma. The
father was not, however, SO ignorant
as not to be aware that such diplomas
are always written on parchment
kutya-ber (dogskin)-in Hungary.
'Why is your certificate not made out
on kutya-ber?" asked the old man.
1.-THE fact is, father" coolly replied
the youth, there are more barristers
than dogs in Hungary, and SO there is
not enough kutya-ber to make diplo-
mas for us all."-London Answers.

A popularity of the camel is his

mimosa thorn and perhaps for dying.
He hates red, and when in the first
Nile expedition in 1884 some bright
genius equipped the squadrons of the
camel corps with bright crimson sad
dies, the animals so resented the out
rage that numbers of them gave up
the ghost in sheer disgust. He always,
of course, hates man, and sometimes
displays his vindictiveness in no I'M
