Rifle Team Returns

The members of the Lamar team at
the national rifle shoot in New Jersey
returned this week. The Lamar team
was of equal size with the Denver and
while they won no prizes the result
was such that had the Denver half Of
the state team made equal scores with
the Lamar section the state would have
been in prize money class. The local
boys had a fine time and enjoyed the
big meet greatly. The local delega-
ton was composed of Glen Kirkpat-
rick, Roy Smith, Noel Westerfield, Ger
aid Beavers. Will Miller, J. E. Brown
lee, Jas. Warren and Harry O'Kane.
The Lamar men who made up the
better half Of the state rifle team were
J. E. Brownlee, Glen Kirkpatrick.
James Warren, Will Miller, Gerald
Beavers, Roy Smith, Noel Westerfield
and Harry O'Kane.

COMFORT I sovIse you 10 pay your ad-
dresses as soon as possible TO Pru-
dence Winters" Hephzibah said. and
passed from the room.
Undecidedly the professor fingered
his hat. His sister had spoken; soon
she and Martha would leave him alone
In his helplessness: perhaps after all
her plans might be worth consldera-
ton. Jasper had learned to have con
fidence In Hephzibah's judgisent. Slow
ly he passed down the street to Pru-
dence Winters home. but when he re-
turned his face was gloomy.
Hephzibah's lips twisted In the near
est approach TO a smile.
"wellf" she asked. you found Pru-
dence at home-snd a worthy personF
AS housekeeper." her brother
dryly replied. Prudence is doubtless
unexcelied."
you must go again" his sister ad-
vised. Next time you will also dis
cover that she has brains"
And obediently Jasper went the sec
ond time. His countenance upon his
return seemed somewhat brighter.
"You stayed longer this evening"
HephzIbnh said hopefully, you dis
covered the brains"
"She has her interesting side" the
brother admitted. but thereafter he ap-
peared to need no further urging.
Jasper now often sat smiling fatu-
ously into vacancy-and to fancy ones
self in love with a Prudence Winters
Hephzibah thought-must take imag-
ination indeed, She was interrupted
In her reflections by the unexpected
appearance Of young woman In the
doorway.
"How de do" remarked the young
woman breezily. 81 rang. but no one
answering and the door being open,
walked down through the hall.
"You are Hephzibah. aren't your I'd
know it." The young woman smiled
and dimpled.
"Jazz sent me In for his cap, she
said, "the wind blows his hat so In
the car. And he said I'd better intro
duce myself-you'll have Ia know me
better later. We are on our way to be
married"
Hephzlbnh arose dazedly.
"Jazzf" she repeated. ''marriedf

The lovely girl laughed.

is Likewise true of the mammoth street
parade, which will positively take place
showday morning, the mammoth mem
agerie and all else connected with this
biggest of all amusement institutions.
The famous showmen have made a
complete survey of both the great cir
cuses and merged the finest and best
of each into one. Hundreds upon hum
dreds of performers will appear in the
gigantic main-tent There will be
scores upon scores of the cleverest
dumb actors. A gorgeously costumed
pageant, Of stupendous size, will open
the program. Great companies of char
acters, representing the best-loved
stories of fable and nursery lore, will
appear. There will be splendid and
many groups of beautiful horses in
jeweled trappings. The army of
clowns exceed all past records for fun
and numbers. All contribute to the
biggest circus in history.
The circus will be in Garden City on
Thursday, September IL, afternoon

Rollie Wright Makes Change

Rollie Wright, who has served as
assistant manager at the store of the
Snodgrass Food Co. for several
months past, resigned his position
yesterday and departed for Kansas
City, where he has an offer for an
other place. He has gone to look the
position over and may decide to ac-
cept it. but if not he will probably
embark in business for himself a
little later. During the time he has
been connected with the Snodgrass
store here he has proven himself a
hustler and we regret that he has
seen fit to sever his connection with
the business interests of Las Animas.
Should he decide to go into business
for himself we have no doubt but that
he would meet with the best of sue
cess.-Las Animas Democrat.
