The Washington's Birthday. masqued
ball given by the Odd Follows at Wal

organization. 1t was great dance for
fun. The music and costumes kept as

until they grew to nearly the average
size
Especial mention is due some of the
original costumes.

clever style. w. G. Barnes may get

A COMMUNICATION

Owl, Colo, Feb. Goth, 191O-To the
public of North Park.
Some individual thought it necessary
to report to the Hon. Judge of Jackson
Co., that abuse my wife and family in
such way that it should be looked after
"Terrible!" 'Horriblel" think 80 my
self, worse than the person who.s set fire
to the ranch of Mr.. Winscon..up on the
Canadian some time ago who wore No.
shoes. Yes it would, if it wasn't just
the contrary. Who in the Park doesn't
know Tom Wills? Who would expect
or believe him to be guilty of such an
act as the Slanderer has tried to make
him, to undermine his character. But
there is always such people who feel
lonesome and have nothing else to do
but to figure out how to do mischief to
others, just to amuse themselves.
Citizens of North Parkl Plea Sc have
glimps of my family life:
We arise in the morning about sunup
both winter and summer, except in hay
ing time; have breakfast an hour later.
the girls milk the cows between times
and get the horses if need them, after
breakfast go to my work, the girls go
to their own cabin, which they helped
me build last fall. Think of the abuse!
The girls daubed the building with COM
on dirt, not that they had to, but just to
help "Pa". What will become of them
doing such work2 Then they fixed the
inside to their own taste, and there is no
better cabin in the Park. at least the
girls think so and you bet we had lots of
fun doing it.
In the day time they amuse themsel-
YES at bracket saving, reading and all
kinds of fancy work. After supper is
band practice; Emma 1st Mandolin,
Louise End Mrs. Wills Guitar, and the
Either, we practice till we get tired, as
a musician, know when to quit.
Tommie, the great. my son has got too
much to do, building and making al
most everything, to be interested in our
doings. The old man, my wife father

ing and smiling as he alway does, no
sorrow, no trouble. Mrs, Wills, the most
abused does the cooking and listen to
the phonograph.
This is our home life in short, with q
few changes now and then. 1 really
think that we are the happiest family in
Jackson County, and am proud Of it,
and we set as good table as anybody
AS to the miserable slanderer, whose
name tried to find out from the judge
of jackson county, who couldn't inform
me, not having tho power under the
dignity of his office to do so, I'm left in
the dark.
1t is all right, my wife is sometimes a
little out of reason, not responsible fo1
her actions, and will protect the girl as
long as live and no SANDER will do any
good. 1 am writing this article to make
it known. silence would make me guilty
Another charge is that am drunk
most of the time at home, and that Mr..
Speck furnished me with whiskey
