Arrangements are being completed

July 3. Races, speaking, base ball.
vaudeville performances and many
other features which should be a
drawing card to that little city will
be arranged for Saturday, which day
they have selected for the purpose of
commemorating the Declaration of
Independence.
Fruita has executed many fine hol-
iday programs in the past, and this
one is calculated to outdo any past
performance.
AS far as is known to date, this
celebration is the only one to be made
this year on the western slope: and
as the people of Fruita have always
proven themselves to be fine enter
tainers, it is safe to say that their
city will be crowded and all of their
festivities will be well attended upon

MARRY ON THURSDAY

From the palace of doge to the

inmate in the marriage of Miss Helen
Berger, daughter of a wealthy Mil
waukee man, and William Jennings
Bryan, Jr, on Thursday at Grand
Lake.
The families of both the young peo-
pie will arrive at Grand Lake within
the next "a hours.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal couple will leave on trip
to Tucson, Ariz. The father of the
bridegroom will come to Denver next
Friday.
Miss Berger and young Bryan were
childhood friends; but Cupid took no
part in their lives until they met in
Venice when the young man was ac-
companying his father around the
world. Berger whisked his daughter
away at the first sign of love for the
young man and the youth followed
them half way around the continent
Miss Berger has spent the past two
summers at Grand Lake as the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Levering. Young
Bryan has spent much or his tame
there; but, until few weeks ago,
their marriage was opposed by the
parents of both because of their age,
Miss Berger being 20 and Bryan 23
years old.

The Hen and the Mule.

1t has long been claimed that the.
mule is the most obstinate and con-
trary of all creatures with which man
has to deal, but now the New York
Tribune comes to the front with the
assertion that the hen can give the
mule two in the game and beat it in
contrariness. 1t brands the hen as "a
stubborn, fowl, who keeps her eyes
on the market reports and resolutely
refuses to lay more than one egg a
week when the price is high, doing
her best work when the price is under
20 cents a dozen" We believe the
Tribune does the hen great injustice
in this matter. We believe her &c &c
a better friend to the consumer of
eggs than to act in any such bad
manner On the contrary, we believe
that in varying her productiveness
she tries to aid instead of injure man
kind. If she goes on strike or cur.
tails production it is solely when
resting after a bold attempt to pre-
vent the cold storage man from get
ting the upper hand of the market
and upsetting the natural law of sup
ply and demand.

Great Artist.

II was whistler's complaint that
the world never understood him; but
he himself was largely TO blame for
this In surroundings OF antagon-
ISM" he once confessed. Il wrap my
self in species of misunderstanding.
Again and again he took deliberate
pleasure in beiuddling people Even
the matter of his birthplace was the
subject OF bon mot which wrapped
the whole subject in obscurfty. He
was born in Lowell, Mass. July 10.
1884. But when an article in French
magazine gave Baltimore as his birth
place, and the mistake was many
times repeated, be did not take the
trouble 10 deny n My dear Cousin
Kate he said TO Mrs. Livermore. IF
anyone likes to think / was born in
Baltimore, why should deny IL? II Is
Of no consequence TO me-" To an
American who introduced himself by
saying, You know, Mr.. Whistler, We
were born at Lowell. and at very much
the same time; you are 81 and ! am
6s," he replied; VERY charming. And
so you are IS, and were born at Low
ell. Mass. But shall be born when
and where / want, and do not choose
TO be born at Lowell, and / refuse TO
be 67."
Something of this same fantastic
spirit ran through Whistler's whole
life. He refused to treat peopie-and
especially people whom he did not
like-seriously. He delighted in ban
ter and persifiage. He loved to tan
talize. He was something of brag-
gadocio. But these attitudes, We are
coming TO see more and more clearly,
were the expressions not of a shallow
nature, but of man ultra sensitive
and intensely in earnest, who found in
them his resdiest weapon OF defense
against a Philistine world.-Current

There were no lights in those days.
