teaching Johnny his Golden Text, the
words of which were: whatsoever

father several times, and seemed to
have mastered the correct wording.
AS they drew near the Sunday

all. Nevertheless, the island was liter
ally covered from center to sea with
breeding birds, mating birds, and
young balf-grown fledglings Of dozen
or more species.
With such an astonishing popula-
ton, numbering perhaps twice the In
habitants of Greater New York, 1t was
to be expected that study OF the
situation would reveal method in
their distribution. Generally speaking,
the various species were grouped in
more or less we'll defined colonies. AS

certain localities that seemed to suit
their fancy or convenience. There is
constant coming and going at Laysan,

MarOOned but Merry

A merry partyof Idaho Springs
people, as we'll as some from the
upper part of the county, was
marooned at Forks Creek for four
hours on Monday evening and it
was one Of the most Jolly par
ties that was ever laid out on ac-
count Of a wreck. Conductor
"Robby's" through freight from
Idaho Springs to Golden was the
cause as two of his freight cars
jumped the track causing him to
puff his ubiq uituous pipe with
wonderful acceleration. In the

and Mrs. II. II. Rogers, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Woodward, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. II. Mallalieu, Miss Mar
guerite Coffman, Messrs. HI. A.
Elliott, A. d. Bulls and Ike
Bourbonais.. AS the stomach be-
gan to growl for supper, Messrs
Bulls and Bourbonais started out
on foraging party. They went
to the section house and asked
the lady if she could get supper
for about twenty. She replied,
Il have no bread Then Ike
got in his fine work and in a
plaiutive, suave but anxious tone
he said Cant you get us some
nice hot biscuits and looking
around at the fine flock of chick
ems he continued "and some nice
| fried eggs. She looked at his
CadaverouS countenance and Smii-
ingly said 81 will do my best al d
she did, for within an hour about
twenty hungry mortals sat down
or stood up and got on the outside
of as fine biscuits, eggs land good
coffee as any persons could wish.
Then there was Dad Nelson,
the genial, whole-souled and eff
cient salesman for the Dupont
Powder company. He was right
on deck assisting with the cook
ing, waiting on and seeing that
everyone was bountifully supplied
With him as master of the Gull
nary art, Bulls as chaperon and
Bourbonais as chief entertainer,
the four hours at Forks Creek
passed away like a dream. The
stomachs of everyone, young,
middle age and old, were careful
satisfied. 1t was joyous occa-
sion and none endeavored to make
it more pleasant than Mr.. and
Mrs. Rogers.
