A Society Eveai.s

The famous Gentlemen's Evening
gwen year ago by the Isabella
Tourist club of Gunnlson was such
success that it called for another
occasion a, which the mere men
might be admitted Such was the
gathering Friday last at the home
Of Mrs Geo Eastman. Besides the
husbands OF members number of
guests were invited from the other
women club and members Of the
press in Gunnison.
The delightfully."- appointed $50
luncheon arranged by Mrs. Eastman
and assistants was first on the
program, aud the men were thus
happily rendered compliant through
the attack on their stomach's by an
array Of good things to eat. Cut
flowers, especially pansies, special
favorites of the / T. c. club, help
ed to decorate the tables; and pretty
place cards, hand painted with
pansies by Mrs. O.. ID. Martin. were
found. Mrs. Martin is president of
the !. +. c. and acted as toastmast-
er. Mrs. Eastman gave a short but
witty speech of welcome. Mrs.
Blackstock, president of the
Womens club replied in a finely
rendered article Miss Sara Easter
ly toasted the Ordinary Woman"
in happy phrases and Mrs O'Leary
spoke on 'Procrastinitis," the toast
aboundlng in clever hits.
After the toasts and short ses-
sion of pleasant conversation, came
musical aud literary program.
The roll was called and responses
were by favorlte quotations Mrs.
Redden and Mrs Sills gave humor-
Gus select readings. Mr. and Mrs.
II. +. Lake Jr sang a duet Mrs.
OLearv brought a message from
the Western Slope Federation for
civic Improvement which is one of
the themes for programs by l. I. G..
ladies next year. Mrs. Martin and
Mrs. L. =. Miller sang two duets,
and Mrs. Hurley gave two solos.
These gentlemen evenings are
certainly delightful features of the
club work. and the fortunate guests
all hoped to see more of them.

The fountain has thirt. feet Of

The iceless part Of it consists in
the fact that ice in the refrigorators
round the cream cans at either end
is connected with pipes, which keep
cold air continually circulating
through the territory between. In
the window next to the fountain
has been fitted up a pretty parlor,
which Herman Mauer has decorated

PAeslNo OF THE VETERINARY
Few Young Men Arc Joining TIE
Ranks Of This Profession.

In tires Of epidemic among cattle
the veterinary surgeon is invaluable.
His general field of work, however, is
limited to-day, because of the preva-
!ence Of automobiles, and few young
men seeking profession join the vet
erinary ranks.
While there is much work for a vet
Urinary to do among invalid dogs,
cats, COWS and other domestic pets,
the subject of his most careful study
and most remunerative work is the
horse.
Horses, so valuable and necessary,
are watched devotedly for the slightest
sign of indisposition. The wife may
cough unpleasantly for week be-
fore the doctor is sent for, but the vet
erinary will hurriedly answer the
frantic summons of her husband If his
horse shows the slightest symptoms
of a cold. And the gradual disap-
pearance of the horse robs the veter-
mary Of his chief source of income.
Many of the profession who foresee the
continual decrease Of their horse pa
tients are applying to the government
for places as surgeons in the cavalry

IRVING THE AesrEMIous ONE.
Poet Had Forgotten Finishing Bottle
Of Port Himself.

1t was while Irving was rehearsing
"Becket" that he told a story of Ten.
nyson that has both pathetic and hu.
morous significance. In the earlier
days, when The Cup" was in prepar-
alton, he had been to see Tennuyson
in the Isle of Wight to discuss his
ideas for its presentation. After din.
ner the dessert and wine were set
out upon a separate table and when
they were seated the poet asked Irv.
ing II he would like glass Of port.
Yes. l like a glass of port" replied
the actor.
Upon which Tennyson, taking him
at his word, poured him out glass
OF port and, all unconsciously, fin.
ished the remainder of the bottle him.

Next morning the actor had to leave
and had therefore taken leave Of his
host overnight. But he had scarcely
awakened when he saw Lord Tenny.

Reminder Of New York in Desert.

Travelling recently on donkey-bac,;
across trackless portion of the Con-
chilla desert, in southeastern Cali
for2ia. we sighted ahead OF us above
the sage brush q nondescript object
which en- nearer approach resolved in
self Into two dilapidated trolley cars.
They formed the equipment of a
horse railway" across the sands ten
or twelve years ago to connect a soil
tary station on the Southern Pacific
railroad with an agricultural colony
several miles distant. The farming g
enterprise failed utterly and the
horse railway with. The incoa-
gruous sight of these two abandoned
cars in the midst of drifting sands is
all that remains to-day to tell the tale
of shattered hope.-World Wide Mag
