the number was greatly appreci-

s. A pie-eating contest by
Masters Gates and Kleindienst,
who kept the audience laughing
for quite a while.
9. 3 Rounds of Boxing, Hans

rather a surprise for the audience
when the curtain arose and the
two youthful sons of Andy Mon
tano, no doubt two of the small
est boys that ever had gloves on
their hands appeared on the stage
and were introduced. The young
sters fought three rounds
which would have been a credit

years older than they.

ELKS DOINCS
BRING CROWD

That's what everyone is saying
who was in Winslow last Wed
nesday evening.
AS has been announced weeks
ago, the Big Elks Doings was
given this week Wednesday even
ing, even better than the most
profound wishes of the most en-
thusiastic workers in the move
ment anticipated in order to make
that night one to be remembered
by every Elk of Winslow 536,
and every citizen in town.
First of all we must say that
unlimited amount of credit is due
Bro. F. K. Ellis, promoter of the
affair, with his corpes of well Sc
lected able assistants, in the way
every number of the program at
the Opera House as we'll as at
the Electric met with general ap-
proval. Everyone and every
thing worked in harmony, and
the affair was a tremendous sue
cess from start to finish.
Promptly at 7:30 p. m., Mr..
Theo. H. Shufin started his "fire
works" on Front street and music
was rendered by the Boys Band.
The crowds commenced to come
and the Opera House was COM
fortably filled to see the big
home talent show.
The outline Of the program was
as follows:
1. Winslow Mandolin Club,
Selection. This club has been Or
ganized by Messrs Carroll and
Easley the last summer and are
doing wonders in the musical
line.
2. Navajo Indian Dances, Real
Red Men with Native Costumes
and Music This dance was
given by a number of. Pueblo In
dians in the employ of the Nava-
jo Ice Co., and was appreciated
very much by the audience.
3. Mandolin and Guitar Duet,
Messrs. Carroll and Easley. The
boss musicians of Winslow in
their respective lines who always
make good.
4. japanese Jui-Jitsu. An in
teresting exhibition of wrestling
and self-defense, given by a
troupe of Japanese experts. This
number was of great interest to
many people and was sort of a
novelty act to those who had
never witnessed the stunt be-
fore, feat at home with the
japanese.
5. A Musicians Surprise, Bur-
lesque, Elk Roland Showalter.
Many of the people of Winslow
have seen this particular Bur
lesque" stunt done by Mr.. Sho-
walter before, which is done with
his lips, a noise similar to the
playing of a trombone and the
ordinary motion of the hands
guiding the instrument, but the
funny part of it all was, when
Salty after doing his stunt
again came on the stage with
a real trombone, in front of a
drop curtain and made motions
as though he were playing the
same for about all their was in
hlm. AS a matter of fact he
could no more play the same than
an lrishman could play a Jews
harp as he professed afterwards
and which the audience soon
learned when all at once he quit
his motions and started to bow
to the audience and the playing
of the trombone still went on in
back of the curtain, where-upon
he left the stage. The curtain
was raised, and there stood our
old friend Prof. Ellis, blowing
on his instrument like he never
blowed before. The stunt was a
good one.

time set by the colonel's staff of ply

the New York leaders and to the Pro-
g1essive managers.
Governor Johnson, the colonePs run

had a conference of half an hour. The
colonel delivered to Governor John

The coloneIs day was the most ac-

first day that he sat up for any length

that he had completely dressed.
His only visitors of the day were
Robert Bacon, former assistant secre-

France, who stayed only a moment;
Governor Johnson, who was accom-

Roosevelt family.
1t became almost certainly known
that the bullet fired by John Schrank
at Milwaukee will remain in the col

The wound in the chest showed on
examination that it was SO far healed
that there was only one chance in a

with it would be experienced. This

PLEASURES OF THE POOR

THE pains Of poverty" wrote Thorn
as De Quincy, Il had lately seen too
much Of; more than I wished to re-
member; but the pleasures Of the
poor, their consultations Of spirit, and
their reposes from bodily toll. can
never become oppressive to contem-
plate" Indeed there are pleasures of
the poor, says the Kansas City Star.
One is not so sure of the delight OF
''reposes from bodily toll" That
phrase, as used by De Quincy, is
reminiscent Of Senator Vests story OF
the little negro boy who was pounding
his finger with a hammer and was cry
ing from the pain. why do you do
that?" the senator asked him, oh"
he said, ut feels so good when quit.
But IL the toll Is not oppressive, sure
ly the period of rest is the sweeter
because of it. The pleasures Of the
poor include love of good reading
and leisure for it; appetites for the
best eating In the world, boiled din
ners; childhood, storing memories of
swimmin' holes and bare feet and cir
cuses and humble bee fights; the treat
of an occasional good play; the not
miserly exultation at money put by for
rainy day; the selfish satisfaction of
self-sacriice; the romance of youth
where marriage is Of helpmates 'pard-
ners." oh, there are pleasures of the
pOor-and a country whose pioneers
knew them so well, whose newer COM
munities know them yet so well, must
restore them by eradicating needless
unillumined poverty.
