The fourth anniversary banquet OF
the Current Events club was held in
the club room Wednesday evening,
February 7th.
In honor of the two great presidents
whose birthdays come this month, the
decorations of the room were the
national colors, and never was the
room more beautifully, nor more ar.
tistically trimmed. The tables in or,
der to carry out the central plan of
the toastmistress, were arranged in a
large wheel. Here the red and white
carnations and the profusion of small
flags gave touch of patriotism, While
the wee pickanninies in their she'll
like cradles, besides beng favors, re.
minded all present of the great eman-
cipator.
The four-course banquet under the
skilled direction of Mrs. Silletto, was
unusually good, While the daughters
Of the CLUB, dressed in white and wear
ing tiny flags, fitted in perfectly with
the color scheme.
DR.. Johnstone made an excellent
toastmistress, dignified, witty and very
charming, as she introduced the other
numbers on the program. The toasts
were all we'll done, and every number
of music was heartily encored
The program printed below was Civ

S. S. Guest Niaht.

The S. S. girls outdid themselves
on Tuesday evening and gave the most
brilliant guest night in their history.
st. Valentine had the right of way and
the club colors, red and white, made
beautiful and effective decoration.
Hearts were used in great profusion
and the club room was fairly tropical
in it's effect. Miss Anna Schumacher
was the artist in charge of the decora-
tions. Supper was served at small
tables, the honorary members, who
were guests of the club, being seated
at the round table. Red and white
carnations graced each table. The
menu also did honor to St. Valentine
and everything that could be served in
heart shape was presented in that
way. Miss Fitzpatrick was chairman
of this committee and a number CT
novel effects were the result of her
deft fingers. The program which was
presented after supper had been
served was an excellent one. Miss
Beatrice Lally gave two numbers,
singing beautifully as she always does.
A farce, Meeting Mr.. Patterson was
then given and was a very clever lit
tie skit played with much dash and
snap. Miss Garrison's exquisite art
was much enjoyed, she singing two Sc
lections. Then quartet, consisting
of Mesdames McConnaughey, Nc
Ahren and Norris and Miss Lally, de-
lighted the hearers. A stately minuet
was then given by eight young ladies
who were grace itself and who cap
tured the hearts of all the guests.
Miss Raine closed the formal program
with a brilliant piano solo. Miss An
derson had the program in charge and
deserves congratulations. Visiting
and other forms of formal fun then
followed and it was late hour when
good byes were said. s. s. has every
reason to be proud of it's guest night.
Their hospitality is extended in the
gay, hearty way that makes hospital
ity delightful to accept.

The Folly of Pride.

Take some quiet, sober mo-
ment of life and add together the
two ideas of pride and of man;
behold him, a creature of a span
high, stalking through infinite
space in all the grandeur of
littleness. Perchased on q little
speck of the universe, every
wind of heaven strikes into his
blood the coldness of death; his
soul fleets from his body, like
melody from the string; day and
night, as dust on the wheel. he
is rolled along the heavens,
through q labyrinth of worlds,
and all the systems and creations
of God are flaming above and
beneath.
Is this a creature 10 reveal in
his greatness? Is this a creature
to make to himself a crown of
glory, to deny his own flesh
and blood and to mock at his fel-
low. sprung from that dust to
which they both will soon return?
Does the proud man not err?
Does he not suffer? Does he not
die? When he reasons, is he
never stopped by difficulties?
When he acts, is he never temp
ted by pleasures? When he lives,
is he free from pain? When he
dies, can he escape the common
grave? Pride is not the heritage
of man; humility should dwell
with frailty and atone for ignor-
ance, error and imperfection. -

The city of Denver has revoked
the franchise of the Union Pacific
railroad for the use of Blake

Extra Session of Legislature.

Extra Session of Legislature.
In order that the wishes of the
people of Colorado, expressed by
ballot at the general election
held on November 5th, may be
carried out in manner and in
form as is shown hereby, we
think it the duty of Gov. Shafroth
to call the legislature together in
extra session, for the purpose of
electing Gov. Charles S. Thomas
United States Senator elect, to
his place in the United States
Senate, to which Office the people
have elected him. and in which
they want him to begin to assume
such duties as that Office calls on
him to preform, and to repre-
sent the people of Colorado in
every item of legislation that
may be of interest or benefit to
his constituency.

the way to prevent the Governor
from doing this, we think it the

Telephone Connections With
Cheyenne Wells.

The.Mountains States Telephone
and Telegraph Company is now
very active in this section, ex-
tending its lines east along the
Rock Island and the Union Pa
cific. The line to Genoa is now
open and is in operation, with
a pay station at the Genoa end.
Along the Union Pacific the line
is being pushed. with Cheyenne
wells as its objective point. Pay
stations will be established at
Clifford. Boyero and Aroya, and
the line will be carried on to a
connection with the Independent
exchanges at Wild Horse and
Cheyenne Wells.
For the present no new ex-
changes will be installed, the
company being content with pay
stations for the time being, but
there is no doubt that the Noun
tain States management has its
eye on the rapidly developing
section, and with the extention
of its lines and the opening of
long distance stations, plans to
be first on the ground with local
exchanges in each of the towns
touched just as soon as business
will justify the step.
Until new exchanges are
opened the towns of Cheyenne
county will be benefited most by
the extensions. as they will get

nections with other parts of the

Men Live in Their Deeds.

To be cold and breathless, to
feel not and speak not-this is
not the end of existence to the
men who have breathed their
spirits into the institutions of
their country, who have stamped
their characters on the pillars Of
the age, who have poured their
hearts blood into the channels
Of the public prosperity.
Tell me, We who tread the sods
of yon sacred light, is Warren
dead? Can you not still see him
not pale and postrate, the blood
of his gallant heart pouring out
of his ghastly wound, but NOV
ing resplendent over the field OF
honor, with the rose of heaven
-upon his cheek and the fire OF
liberty in his eye?
Tell me, We who make your
pious pilgrimage to the shades OF
Vernon, is Washington indeed
shut up in that cold and narrow
house? That which made these
men and men like these cannot
die. -
The hand that traced the char
ter of Independence is, indeed,
E motionless: the eloquent lips that
sustained it are hushed; but the
lofty spirits that conceived. re-
solved and maintained it, and
which alone, to such men, make
it life to live these cannot ex-

Thanksgiving.


President Taft's first notable public
act after the election in which he was
defeated was the issuance of his
Thanksgiving proclamation. Among
the reasons which he gives why the in
habitants ofthis fortunate land should
he thankful is that We are "strong in
the steadfast conservation of the her.
itage of self-government bequeathed
to us by the wisdom of our fathers,
and firm to transmit that heritage un-
impaired, but rather improved by
good use, to our children and our
children's children for all time to
Gomez
The proclamation of President Taft,
which vas printed in full in the Wis
consin, is dignified in conception and
language and sincere in tone.
In connection with the subject of
Thanksgiving it is worthy of note that
there was no Thanksgiving proclama-
tion issued between that of Madison
in 1915, after the close of the second
war with England, and that of Lincoln
in 1852 President Lincoln's frs.
Thanksgiving proclamation was issued
early in the civil war, after q time
when after q series of reverses light
had begun to shine on the effort to re-
store the union. It bore date of the
10th of April, and named no particular
day for the thanksgiving. This pro-
clamation read as follows:
"It has pleased Almighty God TO
vouchsafe signal victories to the landl
and navel forces engaged in internal
rebellion and at the same time to avert
from our country the dangers of
foreign Intervention and invasion. 1t
is therefore recommended to the people
of the United States that at their
weekly assemblages in their accustom-
ed places of worship which shall occur
after notice of this proclamation shall
have been received, they especially
acknowledge and render thanks to our
Heavenly Father for these inestimable
blessings, that they then and there
implore spiritual consolation In be-
half of all who have been brought in
to afiiction by fthe casualties and
calamities of sedition and civil war.
and that they reverently invoke the
divine guidance for our national
counsels, to the end that they may
speedily result in the restoration OF
peace, harmony and unity throughout
our borders and hasten the establish
ment of fraternal relations among uli
the countries of the EARTH"
1t was in 1863 that President Lincoln
issued his proclamation recommending
the national observance of Thanks
giving day in November. Since that
time such proclamations have been
issued annually by the successive
incumbents of the the presidential Of
fee, and custom has settled upon the
last Thursday in Novemberas Thanks
giving day.-Milwauke Eveniag Wis

The United States Grand Jury
which has been in session in Pu-

roads were indicted for issuing
passes, and industrial corpora

The United States Portland Ce-
ment Company, for violations of
Federal Statutes, referring to re-
bates etc. The Denver Times in
reporting the findings Of the
Grand Jury says: Among those
who were investigated was H.
Y. Tarwater, of Cheyenne Wells,
newspaper man, who was
charged with sending obscene
matter through the mail. The
evidence against him was consid-
cred insufficient. Our readers

We have not changed our mind
about it one bit, but we want to
say the language used in our ar
ticle on which we were arrested,
expressed and defined something
clean, as compared with what is
really contained in that beautiful

which you see perched upon the

shaped vision of Dante, known

as James P. Cahiu. Now Mr..

court, and have been assisted by

ment of your designs against this

are. wNl always fail whenever

succeeded in doing, you will be
advised of perhaps sooner than
you will want to hear it. You
thought you were making a great
display when you sneaked to
Denver and swore out a warrant
for the arrest of the man who
exposed you, and you made great
boasts about what you would do,
