MARTIN SAYS HE Is
A BULLY FELLOW

The democratic rally at the opera
house came off Thursday evening as
advertised, but it was hardly worthy
the name of rally when one takes into
consideration the smallness of the
crowd and the frigid atmosphere that
pervaded the room.
AS soon as it was thought safe to
call the meeting to order, Mayor Dracn
took the platform and made few intro
ductory remarks. To those who remain
ed to the close of his speech he intro
duced NJ. A. Leddy who is candidate
on the state ticket for something. Mr..
Leddy is a very nice man and is very
well regarded in Manitou where he has
lived for many years. He made pleas
ing little talk.
Then came the big noise in the per
son of John A. Martin, congressman
from the second district of Colorado.
Although Martin has spent the past two
years drawing salary as congressman
there are but few people around here
who seem to have ever heard of him
and only for the fact that he was good
enough to come here and tell us what
a good friend he is Of Colorado We
should never have guessed it.
After paying his respects to Uncle
Joe Cannon he took up the definition Of
republicans, near republicans, insurg-
ents, near insurgents and Colorado in
surgents, the latter being a bogus
brand, according to John A.
He wisely kept as far from Colorado
as possible, only once or twice return
ing long enough to swat John B. Steph-
en- and I. N. Stevens. The greater part
of his time was spent in lauding him
self and Ed. Taylor although he neg
lected to tell the people what either had
done to warrant their return to con
gress.
Martin is rather blunt speaker. not
as plausible as Ed. Taylor, but almost
as egotistical. AS a vote getter or en-
thusiasm producer the meeting was a
frost as several leading democrats ad-
mitted afterwards.

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS

At the Methodist church last Sun
day evening w. o. Woolever began
series of evangelistic meetings whicn
have continued with increasing interest
throughout the week
Mr.. Woolever, who is one of the con-
ference evangelists for Colorado, was
once pastor of the church at Glenwood
and while here made =iany friends. He
is an earnest and pleasing speaker and
he has a way of sending the truth home
by homely phrase and practical illus
trations that is often very effective.
Here are a few of the concise state
ments which the Post man has caught
on the fly this week and which might
be termed "Wooleverettes, or
Sparks From Woolever's Anvil
True Christians caro- Tor the souls of
their friends-common. ordinary church
members do not.
If you haven It any respect for your
self, you needn' It expect anybody else
to respect you.
Whenever you hear a fellow harp On
the hypocrisy of the church members,
he's hypocrite himself and is trying
to cover up his own pusillanimous way
of living.
/ never could understand why God g
sheep want to leave Gods green pas
lures and go up the alleys and eat rags
and tin cans with the billy goat.
We will capture this cid sin-scarrol 4
men and women who will not sell out
to the devil-then and then only.
About every city needs fifteen or
twenty frst-class funerals before it can
get right to do something for God.
Some of you ought to have twine
string or a wheat straw tied up your
back for a backbone. 1t would be a
vast improvement on what you have
there.
The way to get up to God is to get
down in humility.
The strings which open the windows
of heaven reach down into your pocket

There are lot of people who are
trying to boost themselves into heaven
by their refinement and culture.
Christianity is no object of charity.
When you contribute to the collection
you don't "give," you merely pay
what you owe God.

A VERY INTERESTING PROGRAM

The discovery of America by Golum-
bus was fttingly celebrated last We'd
nesday in Glenwood Springs, the excel
lent program gotten up by the local
Italian committee and heretofore pub
lished in the Post having been carried
out almost to the letter.
From Spring Gulch, Sunshine, Cardiff
and Marble the miners and others came
in numbers. A special Midland train
from Gulch was crowded. The train
left here on its return at 10 O'Clock
Wednesday night.
The program at the opera house was
very interesting. Rev. j. NJ Dickey of
the Methodist church delivered the in
vocation and Maj. S. J. DeLan as chair
man made some Introductory remarks
setting forth the reasons for celebrating
the day and the great event in the
worlds history commemorated thereby.
Rev. Greer A. Foote of the Presbyte

addressed the audience.
A feature of the days doings greatly
appreciated was the music furnished by
the Gulch Miners band. This is .

MAYNARD Is SET FREE

The case brought some time ago by
Mrs. Revoice against Harry Maynard
charging the defendant with forgery
has been dismissed at the instance OF
the prosecuting witness.
Although the evidence and circum,
stances were decidedly against May
nard at the preliminary hearing those
who examined the note to which May
nard was said to have forged the name
of F.. E. Edgerton, declared that if It
was a forgery it was most, cleverly
done, and young Edgerton said at the
time that he could hardly distinguish
his own from the bogus signature.
1t has since developed, so it is said,
that the "forged" signature was the
genuine writing of Edgerton, but in
justice to Edgerton it must be said that
he all the time acknowledged signing
his name twice but he thought he had
signed the application in two places.
When shown the photograph of the
application containing his signature in
but one place he admitted that he
might have been mistaken and that he
had probably signed the note, although
he could not at first believe that he
had done so. Upon this showing May
nard was set free and the costs of the
case taxed against the prosecuting
witness,

JOE NEWMAN POPULAR AS EvEH

That Joe Newman has lost none of
his ability to please an audience since
his last visit to Glenwood was the
verdict of those who filed the Odeon
at his splendid performance last satur-
day night.
Mr.. Newman has gathered about him
for this year a company of real artists
and every member is a gem. There is
not dry line in the performance from
beginning to end and when the show
is over the patrons feel that it is al
together too short, but declare they have
been thoroughly entertained every min-
ute. The Odeon is to be congratulated
on furnishing the people such clean
and entertaining performance.

A GREAT LOSS TO THE STATE

In the death of Chief Justice Robert
w. Steele of the state supreme court
Colorado sustains distinct and ire
parable loss and one that will be felt
in more ways than one.
Such thorough gentleman was Judge
steele. so upright in character, so blame
less in public and private life that tine
whole state bows at his bier in sorrow
at the loss of true friend.
While loyal to his party it could not
be said that he was intensely or un.
reasonably partisan and some of his
dearest personal friends were those wh1
held political views at variance with
his own, and one of those most deeply
touched by the news of Judge Steele S
sudden illness is Judge James E. Gar
rrigues who later became his political
opponent in the race for the supreme
bench.
Alva Swain of the Pueblo Chieftain,
a close personal friend of the dead jur-
list, pays him this compliment: " Not
one word has been said against him
by the opposition and not one word
would have been said against him. He
was the one man on the democratic list
of candidates that stood out far and
ahead of the rest and against whose
personal and public Ire not one criti-
cism could lie.

GLENW0OD BOYS
ARE DEFEATED

There was lively scrimmage at the
ball park last Saturday afternoon when
the Glenwooi high school football team
measured their skill with the eleven
from the Leadville high school.
The Glenwood team this year is
made up of boys who are playing their
first match games and these boys seem
weak in comparison to the husky, ath-
letic fellows who composed our team
last year. The game last Saturday
was the second game of the season for
our boys, both being played with the
Leadville team which won in both in
stances.
1t must not be inferred that our
boys do not play the game, because the
most of them as individuals play very
well indeed, but they do not seem to
understand each other and to play to
each other's s advantage as they should
in other words they are not as strong
on team work as they should be and
here is where they lost.
Some of the Glenwood boys, however,
played exceptionally well in Saturday g
game and of these Maupin, Cross and
Johnson are entitled to especial men
lion. Many of the other boys are show
ing good form and making rapid i'm
provement and with little more atten-
tion to team work some good results
may be expected before.the close of the
season.

CARB0NDALE IS
SPUD Center

Carbondale continues to be not only
the potato center of Colorado, but those
who have Travelled extensively and VINO
have been close observers do not hest
tate to pronounce it the peerless spud
producing territory of the world.
Not only does that splendid section
in the vicinity of Carbondale, the Roar
ing Fork and Crystal river valleys hold
first rank in the way of yield, but the
potatoes grown in that section are Of
such superior quality that they find
ready sale in the best markets of the
world and usually at an advance in
price over the product of other local.
ties.
The State Agricultural college this
year made several tests on some ex-
perimental plots of the Sweet ranch
with such satisfactory results that the
work will be continued next year.
This work was under the special di-
rection of Professor Fitch who superin-
tended the plowing and planting and
made several visits to the tracts during
the growing season and estimated the
percentage of stand and the general con
ditons, making copious notes for future
reference.
The land was not manured nor treat
ed with commercial fertilizer and the
cultivation and care was the same as
given by Mr.. Sweet to his own field of
50 acres. While Mr.. Sweet on a con
siderable portion of his land had yield
of $50 sacks to the acre and while there
are fields after field in the Carbonate
section that will yield from 200 to 225
sacks, the college tract gave the enorm-
GUS yield of 3S,200 pounds or 332 sacks
or about 633 bushels per acre.
The following account of Professor
Fitch s experiment on the Sweet ranch
was given in a recent issue of Denver
paper:
The Agricultural college has secured

rows of late varieties representing 4
hundredth part of an acre, each of
10000 pounds or more per acre on row
after row.
Pearls produce as high as 3s,2Oo
pounds per acre, sorting for sale with
only 5 per cent loss. Peachblows pro
duce within 5000 pounds as much, net.
These are believed to be the record
official yields for regular cultivation for
Colorado. They were grown on unma-
nured and unfertilized alfalfa mesa
land.
The college plans to continue devcl
opment work with posauoes at places in
the mountains with the object of build
ing up improved strains of potatoes and
of securing. by hybridization, better
varieties than any we now have.

icy - "Appleweight was probably
seized all Of sudden, and broke
away in his delirium. Let's go to bed"
At eight o'clock he and Habersham
rode into Turner Court House, and
Griswold Went at once to the inn to
change his clothes. No further steps
could be taken until some definite re-
port was received as to Appleweight's
whereabouts.
1t had been the most puerile trans
action possible, and he was aware
that a report of 1t, which he must wire
at once to Miss Barbara Osborne,
would not impress that young woman
with his capacity or trustworthiness
in difficult occasions. The iron that
had already entered into his soul drove
deeper. He had ordered fresh horse,
and was resolved to return to Mount
Nebo church for a personal study Of
the ground IN broad daylight.
AS he crossed the musty parlor of
the little hotel, to his great astonish.

stationed where her eyes ranged the

sible for Miss Osborne's difficulties.
AS he stared out into the street a
negro brought a horse bearing a bet
ter saddle than Mingo county had
ever boosted, and hitched it near the
horse he had secured for himself. An
instant later he heard a quick step
above, and Miss Osborne, sedately
followed by the black woman, came
downstairs. She smiled and greeted
him cordially, but there was trouble
in her brown eyes.

To Start A rlaht Screw.

Lots of folks have tried to remove a
stubborn screw from piece of wood,
a screw that won't bulge at all, and
have in the end given it up as bad
job, Well, if such a thing occurs
again don't give 1t up, don't lose your
temper or exert yourself, but try this
recipe for removing the screw;
Heat a poker red hot, and then
hold it against the screw head for a
little while. wait few minutes for
the screw to cool down, when it will
be found that the screw can be re.
moved quite easily with the same
screw driver that just previously
would not perform the work. The ex.
PLANTATION is quite simple.
The red hot poker heats the screw,
the screw expands and makes the hole
it is in just a wee bit bigger. The
screw then cools down and resumes
its original size, leaving the hole in
the wood a size too large-and there
you are.

obvious necessity for great caution in

A Meeting of Old Friends.

Understands men had proved ex-
ceedingly timid when it came to the
business of threshing the woods for
Appleweight, whom they regarded
with new awe, now that he had van
ished SO mysteriously. They had
searched the woods guardedly, but the
narrow paths that led away into the
dim Businesses of Ardsley were for
bidding, and these men were not with
out their superstitions. They had
awaited for years an opportunity to
strike at the Appleweight faction;
they had at last taken their shot, and
had seemingly brought down their
bird; but their lack of spirit in re-
trieving the game had been their UNI

most formidable enemy, who would
undoubtedly lose no time in seeking
revenge. They were dolorous band
who, after warily beating the woods,
dispersed in the small hours of the
morning, having found nothing but
Appleweights wool hat, which only
added to their mystification.

on the run" said Habersham bitterly,
as he and Griswold discussed the mat
ter on the veranda of the prosecutors
house and watched the coming of the
dawn. Il didn't realize that those fell
lows lived in such mortal terror of the
old man; but they refused to make off
with him until the last of his friends
