SPELLING THE LICkER

From the Columbia Dispatch.
 Dir you know that whisky would take the varnish off of wood? No?
 Being unfamiliar with joy juice" neither did the observer. Consequently, maybe here is bit of information.
 A man who had the appearance of one too freely shuffled into a saloon and asked the bartender for a drink of whis- ky His order was filled in what is said to be the usual way in saloons viz; the bartender placed a whisky glass, a bot tie of whisky and glass of water on the bar.
 The customer proceeded to fill the whisky glass. And fill it he did to over flowing. At this juncture the bartender said: '1ll give you larger glass if you want it." But as his tone was not gentle the customer did not ask for larger glass He offered, instead, quar- tet of words which sounded as if they might have been intended for an apology or an explanation. He then gulped down the whisky and left the place.
 Hardly mak' a n money selling that fellow whisky sala other man, who just happen fn ef ese g bon.

Ideal Spring Weather

Spring is moving fast on the cycle. and although there is a prediction of temperatures below normal for April, think we will have beautiful Easter weather" said man of the tribe of weather prophets.
 How the flowers are bursting into bloom, And the fru.s trees are espe- cially pretty. I think a cherry tree with it's pink and white blossoms is very much like a beautiful girl in her spring garb. This reminds me that the ladies have not waited upon the calendar-next Sunday is Easter Sunday-but many of them have donned their. spring attire. Now, bluebirds are the earliest harb- fingers of spring: well the ladies have thrown the birds in the shade, for the new colors in blue are very plentiful on the streets Then, too. 1t is a color that becomes most women.
 "The new tango shades are very try ing, in contrast to many complexions, but then, the girls don't care so they keep right up-to-date atdred in the very latest.

FIagIer's Practical Interest in Music

FiaSiers Practicai interest Tn MUSIC
 "All music lovers must have rejoiced when they read, in the Associated Press week or so ago that Henry H. F'lagler. president of the New York Symphony society, had offered to defray all future deficits of the orchestra-generally known as the Damrosch orchestra" said a local musician.
 Walter Damrosch succeeded his dis tinguished father, pr. Leopold Damrosch, as conductor of the New York Symphony orchestra, many years ago. He has al ways had a fine organization, but it is to be enlarged and full paid;' that is to say all the musicians are to be paid for their full time so that none of them will have to look for outside jobs between con- eerts and rehearsals. Musicians know how much this means to high class sym phony work.
 Although the Damrosch concerts have always been well attended the annual deficit has been between 0O00 and S60. 600 made up by a few subscribers-An- drew Carnegie Thomas r. Ryan and other millionaires. Musical America says that MT. Flagler's offer came as a con- plSlt ShfpTlSe. DdInEOSCi Spoht Ol II ds one of the most uuselfish acts that has been connected with symphonic music in New York. The popular conductor said further that from now on he would be able to 2avote his entire attention to planning g".progYammes and conducting them; that Rel would endeavor to make the orchestral better then ever. Ar. Damrosch hasS Just left for Europe in search of new orchestra members and novelties
 MT. Flagler in addressing the board of directors said During the years Of my as5ocation with you in this work my interest in it has steadily grown. and 1 have given much earnest consideration to musical conditions in New York and to the future of the symphony society and it's place in the community, with the result that l take plea sure in offering personally to defray the deficit of the Symphony society for the future, begin ming with May 1, 1914 for which purpose am prepared to set aside yearly an amount which will ensure the continu- ance of it's work on the highest artistic lines, and allow for future expansion should that seem desira ble
 Tt is understood that Mir Flagler will provide an ample endowment to be used to meet all deficits after his death

TROUBADOUR AND JESTER
MY LADY APRIL.

Now comes my Lady April,
 dainty little Miss; She's mighty fond of flirting
 And losses many kiss From wfnd-ravished flower
 And budding orchards shy To where the purple mountains
 Rise up to kiss the sky She's all bedecked in faces
 or peach and apple bloom With mantle of safe saffron
 Made from the jasmine loom. Green is her satin slipper,
 Wrought from the grass-fIecked heath And plaited in her tresses
 Is the white dogwood wreath. I love my Lady April
 With passion sweet and deep, But she is very fickle
 And often prone to weep When vernal winds are signing
 The star-lit dews attest That Lady April's crying
 With head upon my breast But in the morn she's smiling And coyly says to me That she no longer loves me And soon away must flee. Then with assumed indifference l to my lady say If you've been only flirting, - I'll wait and woo Miss May

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF LORD GEORGE GORDON

Catholics were subject? And, second, did George Gordon had participated in this intent by calling such an assemblage to present the petition of the Protestant association, by meeting them at St. Georges Fields, by leading them to the House of Commons, by addressing them when they were in possession of the lobby, or by any other part of his con- duct.
 Lord George Gordon was acquitted. To have convicted him upon acts so in directly tending to a levying of war, or composing the Kings death, would have been establishing a very dangerous prece- dent.

The Monte Vista journal., 1914-04-18

Mr.. Fred West Of whom we buy coats
ard suits in some numbers, was here
Thursday showing his line for this Fall.
A merchant does not get well started
selling in one season before he has to
begin studying the conditions for the
next.
Easter is over, but you that did not
get your new suit or hat before that
time can still get the latest things in
these lines from us. We provided very
liberal stocks Of these items, and have
replenished several times of late.
AS fruit season comes on the exper-
fence OF the past has been that the
wholesale price Of sugar advances, how
ever there is not any Indication that
this will be the case this year, there are
not any immediate Indications that
there will be any advances.
The men in the Dry Goods and Cloth
ing rooms have been putting in little
spare time the last few days in doing
some carpenter work. In the clothing
room they made a rack to handle jump
ers and work coats on, in the Dry goods
have been repainting the ribbon case
and up stairs are building shelving to
help accommodate the large stock OF
Ready to Wear waists which we carry.
We find that our business keeps up
very satisfactorily for this season OF the
year We hear some complaints, but we
are very we'll satisfied with the share we
are receiving We believe there is more
or less truth in the saying that you can
not stand still, you must either go for
wards or backwards, so we choose to
keep going forward.

work, read our advertisement on the last
