ed to reliuquish work by the en-
croachments of his malady. On Wed
nesday he was brought to this city
in order that he might be cared for
by his relatives. He was associated
with his brother, Elmer E Chapson,

ing property near Pagosa Springs
and was well known in the south
western portion of the state. Hts
mother died in Missouri four or five
years ago and was buried at High

UNUSUALLY FINE G6n-
OITl0h OF THE STREETS

Many people have remarked durins
tho last few months on the clean.
dusticss condition Of tho streets and
public highways about Canon city
and a lot OF compliments have been
paid them in consequence. There has
beon no rain worthy cf mention for
four or Ave months and the snowfall
has been very light. but. In spite OF
that fact. there is very little dus,
anywhere. although many of the
streets and connecting roadvays sup
port q heavy trafic. II Is true that
tho wind during the last few weeks
has blown most OF the dust OF the
streets. but NJ no time was IL very
deep or troublesome Tho character
OF tho soil Is such that Il does not
readily work up into dust. and. for
some reason. has accumulated In less
generous quantity this winter than
usual. Thera are few communities
that have better unpaved streets than
Canon City. especially during the
winter months.

RECIPROCITY MEETIEG

Friday afternoon the Friends in
Council held Reciprocity meeting
in the parlors of the Hotel Denton.
The occasion was one of unusual in
ierest insofar as It was a strict socie
" event. One OF the big treats of the
occasion was the appearance of Vera
Jane Edwards in number of readings
and clever well-portrayed sketches.
Mrs Edwards was pressed into ser
vice quite suddenly owing to the fact
that the lady who was engaged to en-
tertain the club found herself unabis
to be in attendance. However, Mrs.
Edwards was fully equal to the oc>
casion.
The first number on the program
was reading by the principal en-
,ertainer. is Dancing Sinful!" Mrs.
Edwards is n powerful exponent OF
the new style of reading which Is a
clever combination of calculation
with musical accompaniment. This
irst number took we'll with those
present
Among other numbers Mrs Ed
wards gave War Songs OF 'e5 from
both sides" The beauty and senti-
ment shown in this portion of the al
entertainment displayed the
readers wonderful versatility and
showed marvellous conception OF
the piece on the part of the lady
The closing number was the
Psalm OF Life" taken from the sth
Chapter OF Job. II was a fitting fina,s
TO an afternoon OF delightful enter
tainment.
Miss whitmore offered the musical
setting for all the readings and Miss
Mckenzie rendered the violin obi
cato.
Refreshments were served during
the afternoon
