We often read of men resembling
Napoleon, and of women having
Madona-like faces, but we have never
seen man that looked like Napoleon
nor a woman that had a Madona-like
face. or ears like shells, or a swan
like neck, but we have seen them
that had face like the inside of a
Rocky Ford cantelope. no neck at all

Montrose is somewhat exercised
because a few poker games show up
in Ouray or other mountain towns,
yet the bootlegger flourishes like
dandelion there and there are more
criminal cases on the court dockets
of Montrose, Delta and Grand juno
tion every year than the mountain
towns have had all their lives or ever
will have. If those good agricultural
districts want prohibition and all
that sort of thing they are welcome
TO it, but it will be wise for them TO
let the mountain towns be pious or
wicked, as the case may be, in their
own particular way One thing about
we mountaineers-we mind our own
business.-Ouray Plaindealer.
The shipments from DeBeque and
vicinity through the Producers Asso-
citation are expected to break all rec
ords this month. Summer apples,
prunes and plums have about all
been in and a considerable amount
of honey has been received for later
shipment The heavy shipping will
be the latter part of the month and
indica tions are that the local fruit
will go in when the top price is reach
ed. DeBeque fruit takes the highest
price on any Eastern market and this
year will be no exception to that
established rule. II is the general
concensus of opinion that not only
will local fruit see one of it's heaviest
yields but the quality will be well up
to standard. d.-DeBeque New Era.

The Rev. Lace in an address said that
at that age a man was approaching
the time when he would be unfit for
work and that majority of men
of that age were either on the way to
success or proved themselves failures.
When a vote was taken the Rev. Ea
ton was admitted to the conference on
trial by an overwhelming majority.

An exciting scene took place in the
county court this morning. when
Genevieve May, 22 years old, who had
been adjudged insane, attempted to
escape. AS soon as the verdict of the
jury was read she broke through the
gate and sprang towards the door,
shrieking at the top of her voice
Deputies Taylor and Pinnock caught
her just outside the door but were
forced TO struggle with her for sew

subdued. She was finally carried into
the private office of the sheriff,
where she continued her struggles.
After she had become exhausted she
