How did your Christmas 20 off :?
We had pretty good time. But in
spite of the holiday season, I could
not help feeling sad on account of SO
many deaths the past week. William
Dunbar passed away, after a short ill.,

ter. Bernice, is very i'll with spasmodic

Old Doc Stork has been pretty busy
around here the past week, delivering
Christmas packages. Steve Persch-
hackers home received a baby daupht- :
er, while the homes of Martin Donnel-
~ and Clinton Miller each got new
boy.
Wish ! could have spent Christmas
with you, but my family would have
been lost. A good many Gunnison
folks are away however. Jos, How
land and wife left Christmas after
noon for Kansas and Nebraska points.
Joe Riley and wife are spending their
Christmas with relatives in Spring.

Hugh Gallagher, one of the d. A.

Crested Butte run, and he and his
wife now live at the La Veta.

ON MAKEUP.

By Marceline d'Alroy.-
It seems that
The less some girls
Put on their Backs
The more they put on
! Their cheeks
And mans
Coat sleeve.
And it seems
That many women
Who put powder
On their own nose
to make It winter,
Are quick to criticize
Girls who put pink
On their cheeks
To make them pinker.
Some girls who use
Makeup are artful,
And many are
Quite aIt-less.
"a few are ,artistie;
But most Of them Lack
ArdMee and are merely
ARTIFICIAL.
