Now you got it down to cases
Swing EN- till their trotters crack,
Gents all right a-heel and toeing,
Swing 'em; kiss 'em if you kin
On to next and keep a-goin'
Till you hit yer pards agin,
Gents to center, ladies' round 'em,
Form basket; balance all,
Whirl yer gals to where you found 'em:
Promenade around the hall,
Balance to yer pards and trot 'em
Round the circle double quick,
Grab and kiss 'em while you've got
EN-
Hold 'em to it If they kick.
Ladies, left hand to your comics,
Alaman, Grand right and left,
Balance all, an swing your honeys-
Pick 'em up an feel their heft,
Promenade like skerry cattle
Balance all an swing yer sweets,
Shake yer spurs an make 'em rattle,
Keno! Promenade to seats,"
"Reddy" Bill Marker. business agent
has no buzz wagon, but occasionally
comes in possession of a great idea.
He divuleged one in strictest secrecy
to the o. p a few days ago Bill has
made careful study of automobile
accidents in Denver and has reached
the conclusion that machines driven
by reckless chauffeurs should be
"deodanded.' A deodand is a thing
which. because It has been the imme-
diate cause of death. is forfeited to
the state and can be used only for
charitable purposes. For instance, II
Bill's scheme were put into operation.
when an automobile ran over and
killed a person. It would instantly be.
come deodand, and it's owner could
not reclaim it under any conditions.
This. says the man with an idea.
would soon decrease the number of
mangled and manned victims, because.
forthwith, no one would want his or
her machine to become deodand.

| Pob Uhlich, president of tho United
Mine Workers in the Trinidad district
and vice president of the Colorado
State Federation of Labor. is a mill
tary prisoner in the county bastile at
Trinidad. Being deprived of his free
dom has not caused Bob to loose his
cheerful disposition, for all day long
he sings a cheerful song as he prone
nades his s by 10-foot cell. The spirit
thus displayed is typical of all those
who have come under the oppressive
tactics adopted by Adjutant General
Chase, for the victims are determined
that whatever personal hardships are
imposed, they will stand up and fight
for the cause OF unionism and humane
conditions for the workers until com
plete and lasting victory is achieved.

This week the grand lodge officers
of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks visited Denver to confer
with the local committee in reference
to arrangements being made for the
Golden Jubilee reunion of the order
in this city next July. Individually
and collectively they expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the
showing made and prophesied this
would be the largest attended and
most successful national session of
Elkdom in the fifty years of its exis-
tence. Already more hotel reserva-
tions have been made than for the
Knights Templar conclave.
