Dear Friend:-
How are you this morningi IN bet
you are good and tired. certainly
and. Am glad Christmas is over q
last, although we bad very mica tinas
and yours truly received all kind q
pretty things. We took in the pro-
grams at the churches, and thea tie
grand bah At ti,e La Veta- That was
fine, and Manager Summers served
splendid supper. Emerson's orchestra
furnished the music.
You asked what Jack gave me; wen,
he gave me some money, and am go
ing down town and get me . new hat,
Miss Lucille Goade is closing out her
millinery stock, and can get me
dandy hat for small cost.
hear that Mrs. Valentine Zeiifnger
presented her husband with brand
new daughter for Xmas. don't mean
to make fun Of it, but Jack said he bet
that present was q "howling" success.
Did you see Mrs. s. P. Spencer up
in Crested Butte? She isvisiting
with her folks. AS soon as his term
at the county clerks office is up, they
are going to California.
Wasn't it too bad about Oscar Nc
Donald dying? He was the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Mcdonald, Of Doyle
and was only eleven years old.
wanted to take the children up to
the entertainment at the Vader school,
near here, to see the tree, but Jack
couldn't get me horse that l could
drive safely, SO we had to stay home.
The program was good, and Mr.. j. p.
Elsen acted as Santa Claus.
Oh! l must tell you the joke. The
other night, q car load of beer which
was on the track at the round house,
got away on the turn table and fell in
to the pit at the round house. Well,
the news flew all over town, and lot
of men went down to see how much Of
the beer they could "save?" OF course
Jack was among those present, just to
"look on" but the time was wasted, for
not drop Of the contents Of that car
leaked sout. Next time you see Jack,
ask him If he likes railroad beer.
No, they didn't do a thing to that
shoplifter that Ralph Allen had arres-
ted for stealing out Of his fathers dry
goods store. She. has been caught at
it twice before. She paid her fine and
costs and they let her go.
How Is that woman ct the Citizens
mine that got shot In the arm Christ
mas day? It was certainly funny
way for the two men to show their at
fection for her, shooting at each other.
She was fool to run between
the two. Wasn't her name Anna Ma
10y? think it is.
Did you read the Denver News that
was edited this week by the Denver
Club women? 1t was dandy paper,
and Miss Reva Sapp had the best kind
Of story on the life of newspaper
woman.
Well, l never heard of so many we'd
dings at one time as we had last week.

were married: Carrie Johnson and C.
A. Kroll were married at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. j. Kane; Irene Tap

Campbell were made one the same day
as Wilson Moore and Mrs Susie Ack-
erman were married. The latter
couple will live on the groom's ranch
at Parlin.
Well dear, must close for this time
and get things cleaned up after all the
holiday doings. My goodness, there
is tissue paper, gilt cord and such stun
all over the house. It is big job -
get all clean and straight again. So,
with love and best New Years wishes,
] remain as ever,
AGNES.
