ous-hearted man and that the pictures
the public mind were excellent like
nesses. He was, she says. eminently
common in his manner of life and his
method of living. He said that God
must have loved the common people,
or He would not have made SO many
of Them" Mrs. Pyle cherishes her
recollections of Lincoln as one of the
greatest heritages of her younger
days and relates them with great vivid.
ness and interest. His fame, unlike
that of other men, grows bigger from
year to year and wherever an Ameri.
can goes in this world he will find
no better passport to take with him
than that of being Lincoln's fellow
countryman. The love and reverence
with which his name is regarded in
many of the out-of-the-way corners of
the world, says Mrs. Pyle, would hard
ly be credited by those who knew him
as a neighbor in Springfield before the
war, although they fully appreciated
the nobility of his character and the
greatness of his mind.
Mrs. Pyle was in Springfield when
Lincoln was brought back there to be
laid to rest in Oak Ridge cemetery,
after his assassination in Washington.
She, like all the other people of the
city. was mourner at his funeral and
shed tears of sorrow as he was laid
away in the tomb to await the resur-
rection day. She gazed lovingly upon
his familiar face as his body lay in
state at the capitol building and the
picture it presented was indelibly
photographed on her mind. She says
his features looked care-worn, but
natural and that the only blotch upon
them was tiny scar in the temple
made by the bullet of John Wilkes
Booths pistol as he was shot to death
on that fateful April night in Ford's
theatre in Washington.
Whenever Mrs. Pyle goes back to
Springfield to visit her relatives she
makes a pilgrimage to Lincoln's tomb
to reverence his memory and descend
into the crypt of the monument rear
ed above his remains to look upon the
coffin in which he was laid to rest.

OBITUARY

Mrs. Meta Hollingsworth was born
in Kansas, Aug. 24th, 1882, and came
to Canon City with her parents in 1906
remaining here for seven years, when
she went to Kansas City to engage
in clerical work. She was married to
Mr.. Hollingsworth in Denver, June
23rd, 1915. going from there to Chey-
enne, Wyoming. where his duties as
postal clerk called him. On July End,
1916, little daughter was born to
them. Mrs. Hollingsworth had been
troubled with some stomach affection,
and an accute attack of it, made an
operation necessary. Perotinitis caus-
ed by ulcers had already set in and
death resulted. She leaves to mourn
her loss the doubly bereaved husband.
her parents and three sisters and four
brothers. Herschel Cissna of Ft Scott,
Kansas, C. G. Cissna. Kansas City, Mo-,
Mrs. Edith Cooper. American Falls.
Idaho. Mrs. Fred Huling. Denver. Miss
Bertha, a graduate of Bethany Hos
pital, Kansas City, and the two broth
ers here. Robert and Elton, besides
other relatives and many friends here
in Cheyenne. She united with the
Presbyterian church in Glendale, Kas.,
when she was twelve years old, and
after coming to Canon was an ardent
worker and member of the First Pres
byterian church. She united with Lin
wood church in Kansas City. of which
she was member at the time OF her
death. She became identified with
the NJ. E. Church in Cheyenne and
Rev. Brace of that church conducted
the impressive funeral service.

THREE THOUGHTS

From The Atchinson Globe:
Gompers, labor leader. naturally be-
ing Democrat. it is easy to under
stand why he finds fault with ex-
Justice Hughes vote in the Danbury
hat case and wants his followers to
line up for Wilson.
How long are the national and state
governments going to stand for the
reckless breaking of law ana interfer-
ence with the rights of individuals by
the l. w. WIS. the most dangerous OF
ganization yet to appear in this coun-
try.
What does the president want with
more militia on the border? There
was. or seemed to be, a real excuse
for sending the first state troops
down that way. but those going now
probably aren't braced up with any
notion that they are going to war, and
it seems incredible that 175,000 men
are needed to watch away few Mey'
can horse thieves.

THE TAX COMMISSION REPEAL

1t hardly seems possible that the
common sense OF the large majority of
Colorado people will lead them to vote
to abolish the state tax commission:
the agitation for that step comes
from Denver and Weld county princi-
pally. and those two counties have
been fighting the body ever since ii
was organized.
And at the same time these coun.
ties have been compelled, after a long
fight in the courts. TO pay their fair
share of state taxes.
No place In the state draws so heav-
lily from the state treasury as Denver,
and Its property was notoriusly under
assessed for years by the men who
were dependent upon the votes OF the
taxpayers for their jobs and so they
were easy when 1t came to fixing val
ues or discovering assessable prop
erty
1t is one OF the good laws passed
by the Shafroth administration and
the men on the board have been as
fair as men can be found. They have
tried to give every county a square
deal.
The law may not be Just what It
can be made and SO the commission
will no doubt improve in its admins
tration.
However. It is far and away better
than the old system, as we can hope
to come to the point when such large
counties as Denver. which WELD such
powerful influence. will pay their
fair share of the burdens OF support
ing state government.-Grand juno

MANY PEOPLE MAKE
PARkDAlE EXCURSION

Never since the establishment bv
the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
company of the opcn-top observation
car service thru the Royal Gorge have
as many people made the excursion
from Canon City TO ParkdaIe and re-.
turn as is the case this year. The
daily number of tickets being sold
here at present for the trip thru the
Gorge and back VARIES from ten TO
fifteen; sometimes running consider.
ably higher. The trip is very popu.
lar one and no visitor here who has
not been thru the Gorge can afford to
miss II.
The fact that more people are max.
Ing the excursion this summer than
formerly would Indicate that there
are a greater number OF tourists in
town this year than common.

POSTAL EMPLOYEES
AND MILITARY SERVICE

Postmaster General A. s. Burleson
few days ago issued the following
notice, which has been sent to all
postmasters in the country:
Because of misleading statements
appearing in certain newspapers re-
garding the status of those postal EN-
ployees who are now in the military
service will call to the attention OF
employees under their supervision.
who are now in the military service
of the United States, the provisions
of Postmaster Generals order No.
9747, of June 26. 1916. and again ad-
wise them that every postal employee
Immediately upon his discharge from
the military service will be assigned
to the position held by him at the
time he left the postal service to en-.
ter the military service, and that such
assignment to duty will be made at
his former salary without awaiting
the formal approval OF the Post Office
Department. The Postmaster General
desires that not only the postal EN-
ployees themselves but also that their
families understand that the EN-.
ployees are not to suffer the loss OF
their positions or the salaries that
they carry because Of having been
called into the military service OF
their country"
