An interesting program is being ar
ranged and patrons and others inter

The victrola, purchased from tn"
proceeds of the entertainment given
by the grades. is proving very popular
with teachers and pupils. The half
hour concert given in the high school
Tuesday morning was highly enjoyed
by the students. The instrument is
made use of in the grades in more
ways than merely musical entertain
ment. 1t is made a wonderful help IN
the reading and story telling work of
the school. 1t is used as an accom-
paniment in folk dancing, marching,
penmanship, physical exercises, drills,
etc. 1t has demonstrated that claim
that is made Every school should
have the v~ictrola."
The high school give the operetta,
"The Merry Milkmaids" the later part

music is melodious and catchy. The
cast has been selected and the event
promises to be one of more thar or
binary interest and the public may
expect one of the best entertainment
ever given by the high school. Miss
Bloomquist, the music director, seems
to know just where to find the best,
worth while in music.
The Fourth and Fifth grades gave
Mr.. A. f. Vinegar a surprise in the

him that it was his birthday and pre-
scented him with membranes and
wishes for many more such days.

Sensational Elopement.

Tuesday morning this usual
quiet city developed a ferment
Of excitement when it became
known that the evening previous
Geo. Drumm had eloped with a
charming widow, known as Mrs.
Sheldon, who has been making
her home here for the past three
months. They departed east on
No. 10 Monday evening, and it
is presumed they went to Albu-
querque, although no definite
word has been received from
them, and they probably do not
intend to return to WinsloW.
Geo. Drum is not yet twenty-one
years old, and the lady is several
years his senior, and it is report
ed has child five or six years
old by a former marriage.
Friends of young Drumm have
known for some time that he
was very much enamoured of the
lady, but they never entertained
the idea he was contemplating
an elOpement.

March Jury Term.

Deputy Sheriff Gardner has
been busy this week summoning
a number of our citizens to serve
as jurors for the March term of
court which convenes in Hol-
brook next Monday. The fol-
lowing is the list:
G. P. Miller. George Cresswel
]. D. LaChance. G. C. Moss
Benjamin Burke, Geo. D. Wiley.
Geo. H. Myers, R. Wiggin.
F. N. Pingrey. H. w. Phillips.
.Chas Christman, H. S. Anderson
d. w. Kelly Henry Heide e.j.
Carl Wilkins, Nels Erickson,
L. c. Parke, A. C, Riggs
Out of the eighteen names on
ly six are eligible for jury duty,
the other twelve being railroad
men and exempt from jury duty.
What excuse or reason is there
in putting the county to all the
expense in serving all these men
and put them to the trouble of
appearing before the court, only
to be excused? A little judg-
ment exercised in this matter
might conserve the finances of
the county.

1t was indeed a rare afternoon
which the Fiction Club and their
! guests enjoyed at the home of
Mrs. A. E. Gillard last Friday
afternoon. The program pre-
sented was a study of art in
America. Mrs. Chapman gave
a review of the life and work of
Julia Bracken Wrendt, the sculp-
turess, which was made intense
ly interesting by pictures of the
work of Mrs. Wendt.
Few of US probably realized the
extent our capricious desert with
Its wonderful colors has played
IN the art Of our country, but
this was brought out very point
edly by Mrs. C. J. Trimble in a
comprehensive talk on the Santa
Fe- Taos Art Colony, bringing to
our notice that this point in the
far west is really the Italy of
America. "
Mrs. Robt Walton gave us a
Personal Touch and Memories
of the Life of Louis Akin. 1t
was indeed a privilege to hear so
ably given incidents of the init
mate friendship which this fami-
ly enjoyed with the artist.
Many helpful suggestions on
the decoration of the home were
given in Mrs. James Claffey's
paper on "Art in the Home.
Mrs. Gillard gave brief but in
'teresting sketches on Remington,
Moran, and Violet Oakley, the
mural painter.
1t was with much appreciation
the club listened to Miss Stavens'
paper on Art in America. :"
Her suggestions should be repeat
ed that American millionaires
buy the works of our own artists
in place of buying from European
masters for the sake of the sigma
ture, and thus create an "Art in
America.
Miss Conner's charming inter-
probation of her solos added
much to the program of the af-
ternoon.
Mrs. Earl Porter entertained
