1--WE Have Seen His STAR

ALI, gray old world in your spinning
you spin again to-day
Across the Womdrous radiance. the
clear. uniHIteriny ray,
That streams a-doWn the centuries
from 3ethlehem's sweet star:
And IN its strange. white splendor
transformed your fea lures are.
For it sends its slyery arrows
straight under the yltse Of things,
And the small shrinks small. and she
great looms great. in disadvantages
And the false ylitters false beneath it
and the true gloWs true and real.
And babes lead the wise and prudent
to the shrine it's beams reveal.
Yes, old world, your values alter
When supreme, eternal Love
SETS its signal in the heavens, and the
angels sing above;
So we turn from our furnished idols,
staring and vacant-eyed-
From the bnbble of place and power,
the tinkle Of pomp and pride
And even as they who followed it's
beckoning long ago.
We kneel again this Christmas-t tide
where the young child lietl low.
And though we may look not yonder,
where the towering crosses loom,
Nor can bear this day to ponder on
the soldier guarded tomb.
tFor today is ours to be happy, even
as Mary smiled.
Birth-pang and heart-pang forgotten
a little while for the Child.)
Yet somehow we learn as he lieth.

That. beauty, and truth, and high
heaven are bought with the old, old
price
The barter of love and service, the
silver of sacrifice.
And we bark to the far, sweet echo
that floats to this sad world still,
When the clamor of greed falls sill
ent--''and on earth peace, good WILL |
While rolls in sublime cresendo that |
cry from the ages dim,
we have seen His Star, His Star in !

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1910-07-08

Were you at Rocky Ford on the
Fourth. II you lived in Otero coun-
~ or upon its borders you surely
were, as it looked like the whole
country was thcrc-and then some.
And didn't you have glorious
time with us? Our celebration GER
tainly could not be exccllcd. The
parade was the finest ever seen in
the valley; the orator of the day was
here and made a splendid talk; the
games and races were we'll filled and
greatly enjoyed; the mask parade and
carnival was very attractive and
amusing. and in fact everything was
carried through without hitch and
exactly as advertised.
And wasn't the safe and sane
way of celebrating the best ever:
There was no need to rubber upon
every side and keep jumping side
ways to avoid the deadly cannon
cracker or torpedo, and the only,
noise of exploding powder heard
within the city during the day was
while the trap shooting was on at the
fair grounds in the afternoon. Every
thing was quiet and seemly fun was
to be found upon every side, and he
was indeed a misanthrope who went
home unsatisicd with the matter in
which independence day was ccie-
brated at Rocky Ford.
At break of day on the morning
of the Fourth the crowd began to
assemble. and by the time that Old
06ol began to warm things up, our
shady streets were a moving mass oi
ople and the biggest and best cele-
brajon ever seen in the Arkansas
valley on July 4 was on, A conserva-
tive esfinintc places the number IN

followed with long line OF gayly

| and automobiles.
At the fair ground Immediately
| after the parade cx-Gov. Thomas,
orator of the day. was introduced to
the vast throng and held them en-
| thrallcd until noon with splendid
patriotic adddess.
In the afternoon the games and
sports began and every available inch
| of room in the grand stands was
| filled with the crowd which over
flowed by several thousands into the
ground and along the race track to
the quartcr-strctch. The base ball
game between a team from the Has
kell Indian school and the Rocky
| Ford high school team was the first
event of interest. Although the In
dian boys played fine game they
were clearly outelassed by their OPP
porcnts, the score standing 9 to |
IN favor of the high school boys
But it was good, snappy game
throughout, and several spectacular
plays were made that made the root
ers thoroughly enjoy the sport.
The racing events were well filled
and intermingled with other sports
kept the vast crowd in pleasant en-
|joyment throughout the afternoon.
