cot on the Denver q Rio Grande,
headed for Denver. 10 took It just o
little over two hours to make the run.
I looked out of the window and just
over on the mountains there could be
seen snow, and where 1 was it were
some hot. i could not understand how
there could be two kinds of weather
90 close together, but 1t was, just the
same. showing on top and melting in
the valley. Who ever heard Of such 4
thingi ] could hardly believe my own
eyes. ha'~
Reaching Denver 1 went to Campbell
Chapel where Bishop H. Blanton Parks
was booked to hold conference. j en-
joyed seeing him at work. He was then
and there having n conference with some
of his men. The Rev. DR.. Ward re-
ceived me with open arms and soon had
me assigned to an excellent stopping
place. But i called up DR.. Justine L.
Ford, one of the leading physicians in
the West. had IN invitation to come
to her home and accepted. She was
born in Galesburg, ILL.,, where she got
the foundation for her education. After
graduating from there she was selected
to teach in Lovejoy, Ill, and remained
until she accepted the hands Of g man
in matrimony. F'i
While in Chicago she took her educa-
ton in medicine and put out her shingle,
and, believe me, honey, she is kept busy
here day and night, and her practice is
among all kinds of people, eolors and
races. She is just 4 good doctor, that 8
all. But she took a day OF to show me
Denver. First had the pleasure Of
meeting Miss Estella P. Carter, who
comes from Galesburg and is one of
those fast writer's. She can look up and
see words coming out Of your mouth
and put them down on paper. She is
some pumpkins when it comes to writ
ing shorthand. She is stenographer in
the ONCE Of the American Woodmen.
Then 1 met Miss Mabel MollisOn, the
daughter of Lawyer MoIlison, who is
also doing 3 big business in the same
ONCE. She is also an expert stenog-
rspher and bookkeeper. At one time she
was a teller in bank in Mississippi.
Now for the outing. Mrs Jasper
who is one of the most sue
eessful business women in this whole
country, hitehed up her Ford and got
ready for the carry around. She came
TO this section Of the country about If
teen years ago from way down in Texas
and decided that farming was good.
They got them q farm, and then went
ut it. Hogs were purchased as an asset,
then cows, and it was. not long before
they were on the map. Believe me,
Mrs Andrews knows all about hogs and
sows, and in her line she has been .
success, and then she knows all about
! ear.
While we were getting ready to start,
Lawyer Blakemore came along end said |
hat he would like to join the party, and,
IF course, was invited, and am glad |
hat he was because ofths tire trouble
which followed around aad about those
zig mountains. Where We went, 1 DON
NOW, but do know that it was q great
zip. stT
