Stockmen's National bank, and is one
OF the employees of that institution;
he was born in this city some q

life here. The bride came here with
her parents about four years ago

before evening. He plans on making
from 80 to 40 miles n day and going
at this speed he will arrive at his des-
tination In San Francisco in about 90
days. He did not take any money
with him but expects to earn his
food as he goes along. He will fol-
low the Rio Grande from here to Salt
Lake and from there will go along
the route Of the San Pedro. For his
practice he has walked all around
the Grand Valley. taking q 20-mile
walk every day. Mr.. Bum is an am

walk successfully he will start back
at once with the Atlantic coast as
his final destination. He will arrive
at Los Angeles first and from there
follow the coast line up to San Fran

Just waited and waited and waited

Twas a shame to keep him waiting
At length when his long beard swept

Aud aching and stiff he rose to go
A vision in pink with cheeks aglow
Beautiful hand-painted cheeks. you

Stepped under the soft candelabra's

With q tango slipper upon each toe,
And a skirt that was slit Just as high

St. Matthew'S Guild Ball Brilliant
Affair,

The ball given last evening by the
ladies OF St. Matthews guild of the
Episcopal church at Margery hall
was undoubtedly the most brilliant
affair OF it's kind which has been
given here for some time and more
than Justified the hopes OF the COM
Rittee and those who have worked
70 faithfully in selling tickets and
making all necessary arrangements.
Especial praise and credit is due
Mrs. W. Mclaughlin. who, as chair
man OF the arrangement committee,
gave her time and effort most unself-
iShly toward the success of the al
fair which eliminated so fortunately
last evening. With all expenses paid
the guild will clear between one hun
drad and one hundred and fifty dol
lars. which will go far toward lit
ing the debt on the guild hall in the
near, future.
e The pretty hall was sayly and
siaborately decorated with bunting
and big flags and little flags and
presented "a festive background for
the merry throng, which filled the
floor to Its capacity and then over-
flowed into the smaller room which
Sas equally pretty in its patriotic
areas with festoons OF tiny rags
strung overhead and daintily ap-
bointed tables set for the service of
delicious ice cream and home made
cake throughout the evening. There
we're also present great many spec
tators Who lined the seats until a
tste hour and enjoyed the kaladescoo-
pic, Ecena TO the utmost. Doucets
erchestra eIerted themselves and
saYe their very best and most In
spiring music and delicious punch
was served. Time flew rapidly
and quite few fingered after the
Home waltz to partake again OF the
refrcshmepts in the banquet room and
TO, comment upon the success of the
evening and the general good time
which everyone seemed to enjoy. The
ladies OF the guild are naturally
much pleased with their success.
