Pathetick though it be, we had a

the same up in type. The subject

papers.
Well, as we say after we had
went & wrote this eddytoriul and
then set it up into type we pickd it
up jest before we went to press
with this ishue and started to lug it
from the composin stone to the

Thrilling EzpGPiGltS
for AbleP

Abner Winsiow, while down to Her
Weathersby's store tother evg., got hi:
eye on a pr. of suspenders which was
in the show case, and Alb askd Hen tc
let him examine same.
Alb says he had been in need of >
new pr. of suspenders for quite spell
back, being as he has wore the same
pr now for nearly two yrs. and it's
almost out of the questshion to wear
'en longer, being as they are prackti-
ka1ly wore out. Alb says that there is
no stretch to the gum in 'em emmy more,
and not only that, but where he fastens
EN- onto his suspendcr buttons they are
busted somewhat. Abner has come to
the conclooshion that he can't put much
dependence in them suspenders emmy
more, which is why he askd Hen to
show him the pr in the show case.
Hen, he growled good cal about be-
ing bothered to show goods when he
was engaged in a game of checkers with
AMI Doolittle, and had Amzi pennd
up in the king row, being as he was
afeard if he would turn his back AMI
might shift the checkers on him, but
Her he got up and handed out the sus-
penders to Alb, still keepin a sharp eye
on AMI, and then set down to the
game of checkers agin.
Alb, he liked the looks of the suspend
ers, and he calkilated if they would fit
him he would take EN- along home with
him, perviding the price wassent too
steep, so he thort he would try EN- on,
so he TUX off his coat and vest and old
suspenders and buttoned the new ones
to his brecches, but they was too long
and he complained to Hen about it.
We'll, why in tarnashion don't you
girth en- up them" says Hen. who kept
right on p1ayin checkers. Hank Dew
berry, who was present, offered to girth
the suspenders up on Alb if he didn't
know how to do so and Alb told Hank
he'd thank him kindly if he would. so
Hank he girthed the suspenders up on
both sides as hard as he could girth en-.
wait a minnit!" Alb hollers. you've
got EN- girthed up too much They're
bindin me something turriblel For
goodness sales let EN- down agin p
Hank, he tried to let EN- down on Alb.
but it wassent so easy did as requested
Hank, he couldn't seem to work the
which held EN- girthed UP
so tight and called Hen. Hen, he jumpd
UP IN hurry and overturned the check
er board and split all the checkers on
the floor and the langwidge Hen used
is not fit to print in the Bugie Hen
was purity mad to go and spill the
checkers like that when he considerd
that he had AMI licked. Amzi on the
other hand was turrible glad they split,
being as It give him a chanst to tell
Hen that If the game had went on he
would of lickd him (Hen).
Well, Hen, he tried to loosen up the
suspenders on Alb, but he diddent make
no more Roadway than Hank done and |
all the time Alb was takin on somethinlC |

YOUNG MAN COMES TO GRIEF
AFTER VISIT HERE WITH BRIDE

Edward st. Clair, said to be about
part of last week taking things about
as easily as could any of the Rookie
fellers, the Goulds or the Thaws. He
was stationed at a hotel of the city,
and with him was a handsome young
lady whom he claimed as his wife. No
one doubted the claim, or even thought
of doubling it, for that matter. st.
Clair seemed to be selling goods about
the city, though there wasn't any en-
ergy shown in the selling. He seemed
to have no concern whatever of future
financial straits, and when they had
concluded their stay here they pro-
ceeded to Grand Junction.
And here is where great grief over
took the couple. The officers there
were on the watch for st. Clair. They
had in their possession a warrant
charging him with white slavery, and
these charges were preferred by a
Mr.. Wilson of Ridgway, who said that
st. Clair had lured his daughter, Miss
Minnie Wilson, 20 years OF age, from
her home some months ago, and that
they had been living together as man
and wife ever since. st. Clair was
taken in by the officers and re.
turned to Montrose, where he is now
being held for trial at the next term OF
district court.
At Montrose, however, st. Clair was
1 BILE to show that he had welded Miss
Wilson about three weeks ago. or a
few days after he learned that he was
wanted" by the officers and that the
father of the girl would push the case
to the extreme limit. During the
brief residence of the young couple in
this city several people became ac.
quainted with them and were not lit.
tie surprised to learn OF st. Clair's
arrest.

Western Slope Schools
in F irst Class Condition

Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction, who
has just returned to Denver from an
inspection of rural schools on the
western slope, according to the Denver
Republican, was much pleased with
educational conditions on this side OF
the range.
In one of the country schools she
visited she found that out of the five
teachers employer three had the de-
gree Of bachelor of arts, another had a
master Of arts degree and a third had
a degree of doctor of philosophy.
In part the article in the Republican
stated:
Excellent salaries are paid these
teachers and there is no question but
that the western slope is the educa'
tional garden spot in Colorado
Mrs. Bradford says that 1t has not
been necessary to aid western slope
school boards in paying the minimum
wage of $50 per month, made neces
sary by the teachers minimum wage
bill passed last year. The only assist
ance being given to schools of the
state to comply with the law is small
amount that is contributed each month
to schools on the eastern slope.
Mrs. Bradford says many OF the
school boards are to be congratulated
for their efforts to employ only the
best trained teachers.
