On account of the very bad weather,
However, only two members were

There is a man in this town who
! Is perfectly daft about public sales.
An advertisement of an auction is to
] him challenge as keen as the smell
OF powder to war horse, as the
Haunting of red flag to u bull. He
attends every one and rare and weird
are the trophies stocked in his back
yard and cellar His wife groans in
spirit when she hears the word sale"
and she commences to make room in
the cellar and the attic for a new
supply of junk. Sometimes he has
seemed to be trying to resist the call
of the siren. He waits until nearly
everyone else has gone and then sud-
denly, with n hectic flush on his
cheek and wild light in his eyes. he
hikes away to join the mob and to
bid" with feverish enjoyment on
everything from q baby carriage to
a cider press. | cannot tell you the
mans name, for although he is bus
mess man, he dislikes publicity, but
i will be glad to describe him for
you. He is not very tall in actual
stature, but quite tall in genuine
manhood, he has bright hazel eyes
which tinkle with good humor be-
hind is glasses. He as dark brown
hair, and not the least hint of bald
ness, and he has a mouth just like
anyone else, only better looking than
most. When he opens his mouth to
talk he drops his ''r's" all over the
floor and he has a perfectly killing
way of saying worms" He calls
them "wayums.'
In the Junction the other DAY /
saw the queerest looking dog. He
looked like a bundle or rags that had
been used to wash a muddy back
porch and then dried. mud and all.
His under jaw stood out beyond the
upper one about two inches and look
ed like front porch to his face.
heard he was kicked by mule when
he was pup and never recovered
from the ignomious blow. While
was standing on Quist's corner await
ing for something interesting to hap
pen to relieve long and irksome
two minutes" while "the man of the
house. saw another man. this dog
came along. He got up on his hind
feet at the fountain on the corner
where you chew the water as you
drink, and helped himself to long
and cooling draught, Fletcherizing
as he drank in most proper man
ner, He drank his fill and then
trotted away in answer to the call of
a small boy on bicycle. This look
ed awfully funny to me although it
may not appear so to you at all. One
can never tell.
Friday morning several ladies from
Iona started to the Junction to
spend the day with Mrs. Leavitt.
Mrs Bird and Mrs. Clayton went on
ahead with Blacke and the buggy
and caught the $50 car as agreed

Mrs. Sperry depended on Frank Sper-
ry and his young Ford-mobile to get
them in and got stuck in the mud
about mile out, of Iona. with a
punctured tire and had to return on
three wheels and a rim. They found
the incest man in town, with his lit
tie black-eyed girl, sitting in front
of Birds store in his big wagon Up
on hearing of the predieament of the
party this friend in need took the
three into Fruita in time to catch the
2:30 car which arrived in Grand
Junction at $3.50. Upon arriving at
Mrs. Leavitt's pretty little flat they
found the young hostess with flushed
cheeks and an unfathomable light in
her grey eyes, but with words of well
come on her lips. She took the late
] and hungry ones into the dining
room; seated them at table lovely
