WHERE DID SHE COME fRoM7

"Where did she come from? Oh,
isn't she a peach?'
These are questions heard almost any
day on the streets of Glenwood and
the accompanying answers are nearly
always the same, ''Why, she's from
Grand Junction" or 81 knew her in
Leadville, or Aspen, but they are max
ing them hand to catch in these places.
and then you know the summer seasol
will soon open here, and they are com
ing to be in on the grand rush. -
Yes, dear readers, these questions
and answers have been heard time and
again. 1t may be some of you hav,
heard the same remarks while you were
walking along the streets. 1t may be
the young lady referred to in the quer
les was never in any of the above
places. She may be perfect lady, but
if she makes nice appearance on our
streets and the young tin-horns or re
tainers catch sight of her, she is made
the object of all sorts of gossip, and be.
fore the conversation is over, you would
be compelled to believe that some fell
low was either doing a tall old bunch
of lying, or the one you thought per
feet lady was out of road house and
had come here, as the talker said, "to
be in on the grand rush when the sea
son opens"
This class of people care not wheth-
or the person is a lady or a member Of
the underworld. 1t is all the same to
them. They have ambitions, but these
ambitions would not cause the person
to step to one side and give the same
young lady an opportunity to pass along
the street without passing between the
street loungers.
Time and again has the report come
that some of the Gicnwood ladies, who
are ladies in every sense of the word,
have been followed by these gambling
den and tenderloin retainers. Time and
again have the ladies Of this city been
forced to either defer their shopping
or pass between lines of these street
starers and have to undergo careful
scrutiny at the hands of these blem.
ishes called men, but who have as much
say-eo in the management Of the city
affairs as you have.
We have been told that the saloon 10
a necessity in this city and that the
summer visitor would never come here
were it not for tho fact that he can
get his booze. Perhaps there are many
who would prefer visiting place where
they can get their drinks, but do you
suppose these summer visitors write
ahead to ask if there is goodly supply
Of tin-h horn gamblers and street walkers
plying on the streets Of Glenwoodf Do
you suppose these follows are to be giv.
en- the credit for the successful summer
seasons Of the past! Do you believe
that if a lady had to pass inspection
at the hands of these fellows, while in
another town she could 60 about ths
streets free, that she would come hcref
You know that to make such claims is
absoulte folly, and you know that ev-
cry time retainer lands in this city,
your daughter has one more enemy near
her. You know it as well as do the mon
who walk our streets and 20 up u the
bar with an office seeker and drink to
his health.
It has been charged that for several
weeks past a number Of never.works
have been in the city for the sole pur
pose Of aiding in carrying the coming
election. It is known that some of thu
"old timers" were taken to Grand
Junction, but there are still q number
Of them here in the city, and unless
tbs decent people Of the city watch out
theae follows will rule the town for an
other year. It Is claimed that certain
fellow who hopes to draw handsome
salsry out Of the treasury for another
year has been making regular rounds,
inviting the loungers to drink with him.

plea Of being sick, are allowed to stick
