WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES
AFFORDED AT NIGHT SCHOOL.

"Top o. the Worid"-
The splendid opportunities afforded
In our college by the corps of fine in
structors are by no means limited to
the students Of the school, neither are
they confined to Gunnison people
alone. Besides Offering q course in
the night school consisting of about
twelve courses which were asked for,
five of our instructors conduct classes
in other towns. This latter branch
is partly done in cooperation with
the University of Colorado, State
Teachers College and our own Col
lege- Those working under the sup
ervision Of this cooperative plan are
Misses Emma and Palmine Aren't; the
former having classes in Social and
Educational Values at Ouray and Tell
uride, and the latter having classes in
Primary Methods at Montrose, q nd
DR.. Manuel, who conducts classes Of
Social Movements in education at
Salida and Buena Vista. The enroll
Inent at Salida is forty and at Buena
Vista ten. The classes meet with
him once month and once every two
weeks under the supervision Of local
instructor.
There are two classes given in
Montrose for which our college alone
is directly responsible. Miss Hatch
instructs very interested and earnest
class Of about forty studying interior
decoration. Te other one Of these is
class Of twelve members studying
the modern novel under Miss Todd's
able instructorship.
About sixty Gunnison people are
availing themselves Of the opportuni-
ties of the night school. Tie courses
offered are: Spanish, under Mr.. La
Mo4te; Chemistry under Mr.. Causey;
Community Welfare, Mr.. Ferris; In
terror Decorating, Miss Hatch; Sew
ing, Miss Peck; Cooking, Miss Steck-
elburg; French, Mr.. Helmecke; Book
keeping Mr.. Leavenworth; English,
Mr.. Quigfey; Typewriting, Miss Kelle-
CHAN; Electrical Measurements, Mr..
Wightman. All Of these classes with
the exception Of the last two, meet
every two weeIgs. These two meet
every week. The ladies far outnum-
ber the men, Miss Peck's sewing class
|cpnsisting Of twenty women, being the
largest Of the night clasees.
The night school has not been ad-
vertised . well Z It might have been.
which accounts for the fact that Is
low number as two members are
enrolled In such practical courses as
chemistxy. q typewriting. The amount
|of time and expense required Is very
small and Il every one would stop
md think Whist opportunities are be-
I4ore him; the e1ro1lment would be
Imueh larger. .

NECKTIE POSTPONEs
WEDDING 40 YEARS
Delaware Man Called It TOO Loud"
But Wore II ut Last

Shelbyville, Del, Jan. 24.-The hue
Of necktie given by Miss Charity
TimmOns to John Emmons in Bishop
vile, Del, caused their marriage to be
postponed for forty years, but finally
destiny ordained that the tie be worn,
and Emmons came all the way from
Portland, Ore, to put it on to take his
life-long sweetheart as his wife.
Forty years ago 2O-year-old John
Emmons went counting his sweetheart,
Miss Timmons. One day Miss Tim
mons planned surprise. With her
own hands she made necktie as a gift
for her admirer.
That evening when Emmons went
home he tried the tie on before his
mirror. Gradually his feelings Of SEN
timent were overcome by strong dis
like for the color He put the tie in a
drawer and wore another tie.
The next evening he made his daily
call on his sweetheart. 1t was beau
tiful summer evening and the moon,
which shone clearly down the road and
field, showed Miss Timmons that her
gallant was not wearing her gift.
When she asked the reason she was
told:
ut was too loud"
do you mean to say you will never
wear it? Then, you don't love me-"
sobbed the girl, and she went into her
home. His romance wrecked, Emmons
went to Portland, Ore, and went into
business. He prospered and is now
the owner of big department store.
Last Christmas he returned to his
home town for visit.
There he met his old sweetheart,
and talking over things, it developed
that neither had ever married.
Again, as he had done forty years
before, Emmons proposed marriage.
Miss Timmons did not refuse him, but
she did not accept Immediately. But
she bought a tie as nearly like the one
that started the trouble as she could
find.
Then, when he wore it without
she told him that she would
be his bride. They We're married and
will go to Portland to live.

 Canadian advices are cheerful. Lord Shaughnessys proposal that the Can adian Pacific railroad should take over
 the management aud operation of the government controlled railroads of Cam
 ada for government account has at
 tracted no little attention in the United
 States as suggesting possible solution of our own railroad problem.
 The news from Mexico is not alto gether reassuring. There has been more talk lately of revolution. A Con-
 zales conspiracy and a Murguia revolt
 are reported, while a rising under Els teban Cantin is said to be set for May 5. There are some who would attribute these troubles to American tardiness in recognizing the Obregon government but the facts are obscure.
 Nothing more has been heard of the controversy with Japan over the Island
 of Tap. It is inferred that the diplo-
 matists now think that they can settle 1t without again arousing International feeling. Both externally and internally.
 therefore, this country is about as tran quii as it ever gets to be and if tran- guilty makes for prosperity we ought soon to be as prosperous as we deserve Some irritation will no doubt continue i to be felt until the railroad problem is
 finally solved and the question of the l income tax versus the sales tax is final | ly laid at rest, but upon the whole the , barometer as seen from New York in dicates clear weather. I realize, however that it is difficult
 for those who live in New York to be weliinformed as to conditions through out the United States and that I may make these weekly letters more ma tional and inclusive in their view, l would ask those who read them to write me when they feel so inclined, giving their impressions of the business out look and feeling in their various locali ties.
