I'VE shall expect to see storytelling
become part of the equipment of all
teachers, and the story literature OF
the world become more and more &C.
cessible and better adapted to the
child. And it is likely that the profess
,sional story teller will again flourish
among us, as in the days before the
books and schools robbed him of his
art'', writes Miss Frances Foote in the
current number of The Bulletin in an
article captioned Some Suggestions in
the Art of Story Telling"

Neither the Irish Warders or the
Feds Are Satisfied With the Dog
Fall of May 5th and Will Set
tie Old Feud on
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MAY 20

After the armed truce of twenty
days since the bloody but indecisive
battle of May 5th, Capt. Fred Marx,
the field manager of the Feds and
Capt. C. M. Spicer, the demon batter
of the Irish Ward, met yesterday on
the dead line half way between the
court house and city hall and arrang-
ed the preliminaries for another nine
round go at Association Park in So
nora addition. No quarter will be
given this time, and it will be played
out to finish even if every man in
the grandstand dies of laughing.
Each captain is now looking for big
league talent in disguise to strength
en- his lineup, and the prices offered
by Gilmore and Weeghman of the
Federal League have been boosted out
Of sight by the Lamar sports.
DIR. T. ]. Sayler, realizing the inad-
equacy of the surgeons to handle the
last conflict, has organized a special
Red Cross service and will look after
the victims of the battle even if he
has to make a few cripples himself.
He guarantees there will be work for
his hospital corps.
As it is to be Lamar's anniversary
day celebration all the stores are go
ing to be requested to close and al
low their employees to attend the big
event. The procession will form on
Main street at 2:30 o'clock and be
headed by the Lamar band. Grace
Russell and her Merry Maids will be
here that day and they with their
splendid drum corps will assist the
parade. They will be placed between
the Feds and Irish Warders in the
parade to separate them and prevent
. riot before reaching the grounds.
Any contestant who can show con-
elusive evidence that he went through
both games and escaped with his life
will have an ivory souvenir.

Like spluttering firecracker there
come small reports at infrequent in
tervals from scattering sections of
the country to the effect that the pro-
gressives will not form any amalga-
nation with the republican party. Re-
sounding far above the small squib-
like noise come reports, which must
sound like the roar of a cannon in the
ears of these still struggling stray
ones who are anxiously awaiting the
return of the fockmaster from dark
est South America, of hosts marching
back into the fold and of republican
victories in state primaries.
The most significant report SO far
was that which came from Oregon.
What will the progressives say to
this? What will Theodore Roosevelt
say when he hears what went on in
the far northwestern state? What
will the big Bull Moose leader say
when he learns what has been going
on in his absence, how the good peo-
pie of this nation, who can always
be relied on in the end to show their
good judgment, have been waking to

Valley League Standing

The Lamar COW pullers journeyed
up to La Junta last Sunday and re-
turned with the big end of 8 to 6
score, leaving the engine wipers hold
ing the bag. Only small number of
Lamar fans went along and they
found the La Junta sports were more
windy than game.
Littler was little more generous
than he was to Las Animas on the
previous Sunday and allowed ten hits
but struck them out whenever they
got dangerous, having twelve sca'p'
to show when it was over. The re-
ceiving end of the Littler family al
so distinguished himself by losing the
first ball pitched to him over the fence
and the city marshal Is st,ll trying
to arrest the ball for breaking the
speed limit. The Lamar batt.rs went
right after the ball from the start,
and put the game on ice in the FIRST
three innings, making eleven hits in
all and in addition to Bud Li'tleYs
homer, Caulk had a three base hit
and Sharkey two Dagger. The team
is still tied for first place as Rocky
Ford defeated Las Animas at the
same time in slugging gims Ii %
IL. Next Sunday the Lamar boys
90 to Rocky Ford and the tie will be
broken. Two of the Lamar team were
injured. Wallace having his knee bad

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNs
Makes Short Work of the Special Ses-
sion and Goes Home

The state Legislature adjourned
last Saturday after passing three bills
which il is believed will be sufficient
to enable the governor to control the
strike situation. One bill authorizes
the governor to issue and sell one
million dollars of bonds to pay the
back wages and expenses of the mil
itia and future maintenance if neces-
sary; another authorizes him to take
control of the sale of firearms in the
state whenever he feels there is dan
ger in their free sale; and the third
authorizes him to close all saloons in
the strike district when under control
of the militia if he deems its advis-
able. These bills were passed by the
republican members aided by the law
and order element of the democracy
and progressives. A bunch of social
ed reformers stole the journal of the
senate on the last day in order to in
validate if possible the work of the
extra session and force another ex-
pensive meeting on the people, but
neither bribery or burglary-the twin
weapons of Denver's reformers-were
of avail to them and they went down
to defeat. The legislature completed
its work and adjourned, and not even
the unwarranted Intervention of the
president of the United States, OBJ
tanned by fraud, could stop the mem
bers who were determined to uphold
the governor in his efforts to main
tain the supremacy of law and order.

Against State Wide Prohibition

For the purpose OF counteracting
the effect of campaign work being
done in the dry" sections of the
state by the prohibition advocates of
Westerville, Ohio, who have assumed
the task of so amending the Colorado
constitution as to place the entire
commonwealth in the dry" column,
the Colorado Business Mems Home
Rule League was formed recently
with $50 representative Denver busi-
ness men as nucleus. Since its
formation the league has acquired
members from all parts of the state
until to the present time its rolls
muster more than ten thousand. Only
business and professional men, resi-
dents of Colorado, are eligible to
membership, and no man who is in
any way interested in the sale of liq-
uor is permitted to join, the idea be-
ing that the question of state wide
prohibition is of much more far reach
ing Importance than simply to in
volve the dealers.
"Unless the business men of the
state are sufficiently interested in the
matter to get out and fight in the de-
fense of the moral and material well
fare of Colorado without the help of
the liquor Dealers" said President

the residents of dry" sections of
Colorado that the adoption of state
wide prohibition would place an in
surmountable barrier in the way of
the tourist business which has al

important industries and which is in
creasing yearly as good roads and
other facilities for the entertainment
of visitors are being brought to a
state of perfection.
Every town in the state, whether
large or small, would suffer should
the tourist traffic be Interrupted even
for a season, though the cities would
be the principal sufferers. The
thought must be borne in mind that
unless visitors come to the cities
they certainly will not reach the
towns, and that the. outside money
which they bring is net gain. For
many years each summer has brought
into the state an Increasing number
of tourists, most of whom come to
the cities first and from the cities
scatter in all directions about the
state. They come to Colorado with
the idea of enjoying themselves and
not to be reformed in an atmosphere
of fanaticism such as prevailed in
New England under the Blue Laws of
the Puritans."
