BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Thursday, March 18th, Mr.. and
Mrs J. r. Jones celebrated their
birthdays with a six o'clock dinner
to thirty of their immediate rela-
tives and friends. II is very unusual
for husband and wife to have birth
days so nearly on the same day and
this was made a very joyful occas-
sion by those present.
At about six o'clock the front and
back doors swung wide open to well
come the guests and the old time
hospitality (as only Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones can extend it, was abounding
in this home. Led to the dining room
by the hostess, we were overjoyed
to find our host. Mr.. J. r. Jones,
seated at the head Of the table which
was fairly groaning under the load
of good things to eat. A twenty
pound nicely Drowned turkey with
oyster trimmings adorned one end
of the table and a large sugar cured
ham the other with all the good eats
that could be thought of between.
Mrs. Jones is noted for her fine cook
ing and big dinners and she has not
lost the art as we know of no one
who can surpass her in preparing
for such occasions. This dinner was
fit for king and queen"and it use
less to say the guests did justice to
it for all enjoyed it to the fullest.
At $3.50 the guests began to bid
their host and hostess goodnight,
thanking them for the pleasant even
ing and wishing them many more
happy birthdays. The many friends
of Mr. Jones are glad to hear he is
improving so nicely and hope that
warm spring days will bring him
out again. Contributed.

PROF. J. W. JoRDAN's DEATH
Son Gets Particulars On GrOuIAd

Victor A. Jordan, who recently
went to Colorado in connection with
the death OF his father, Prof J. w.
Jordan learh<i the following facts;
That instead of being killed at Lit
Teton, he he was killed at the cor
ner of Colfax and Yosemite streets.
He was struck five feet within the
county of Denver and was carried
IS feet into the county Of Arapahoe
by the car which struck him, which
was the reason he was carried to
Littleton, Arapahoe county, eleven
miles away, the body being within
the Jurisdiction of the coroner of
that county. Further, he was not
struck by an interurban car but by
a one man regular city car. The mo-
torman testified that he saw Prof.
Jordan while he was a quarter of
mile away. walking toward the car
when he first saw him. Later, Prof.
Jordan turned and walked down the
track toward the platform some ten
feet away, as tho intending to get
on the car, and was struck within
six inches Of the railing of the plat
form. It is apparent he did not hear
the car and did not know 1t was so
close.
The motorman thot Prof. Jordan
intended to get off the track at the
platform and took a chance, which
was fatal to Prof. Jordan. He claims
he applied the emergency brake
while 100 feet away, but it failed to
work and it was not until the body
wrecked the rear wheels of the car
that it was brought to a standstill
1S5 feet away. All the witnesses
seem to bear about the same testi-
mony, all stating the car was run
ming about 80 miles an hour, the
speed limit being Is miles. The
motorman also failed to drop the
fender which struck him about the
knee, his head stricking the head
light scattering the brains over the
front of the car. The fender was
then dropped and the body fell un-
der the car.
People in this section customarily
walk on the car tracks as there are
no sidewalks.

Christmas Cheer
Charlie Snooks was quite a brewer,
At home brewing no one know
Better recipe foc making
Amber fold for thirst Stacking.
Started out with just one kittle
Made of rather cheapish metal;
Used to brew the stuff on Monday.
Just enough to last through Sunday.
But his trade SO expanded,
All his time the thing demanded
Though suspicious it arouses--
Bought three blocks and seven houses
Sends his boy and girl to college
In pursuit of lofty knowledge,
Gratiiles his wife's fond passion
For The latest things in fashion.
Soon the streams of people come
TO his home set neighbors humm
ing.
Then the cops paved him. visit,
Tried the stuff and asked What /,
it?"
He said "rhat Is Christmas Cheer"
The@ said, "Oh, we thought twas
beer.
Please excuse us for intrudng
TIPS are often SO deMding."
So Snooks keeps right on n brewing
While his profits are accruing.
