JOHN w. HARDY RECEIVES HAND
SOME GIFT OF $4,000 FOR FAITH
Full SERVICES TO SENATOR
PHIPPS' FAMILY.

"a rolling stone gathers no moss
applicable in the case of our esteemed
fellow-citizen JOHN w. HARDY, who
was rewarded by his employer, U. $.
Senator Lawrence c. Phipps, for mer-
itorious services, having spent twenty
five years as an employee in the fam
lily househald, the latter years having
brought him promotion as messenger
and a member of the senator's clerical
staff in Washington, ID. C. The high
compliment paid Mr.. Hardy by Sena-
tor Phipps last Wednesday evening
before large body of colored and
white men in attendance at the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the Denver
Colored Civic Association was enough
proof of the manly and dignifying
qualities of this Colorado senator who
besides other things in his own words
said: Il pay homage to John Hardy
whom / have watched and closely OBJ
served in my family for twenty-five
years, and never having an OppOrtun-
ity to offer sound scOlding to him
for anything during this period, l am
free to say he wins the respect OF my
family and myself and l am proud to
note his progress and development"
1t may be stated that no publicity of
the gift was mentioned by the senator,
but our friend John, unable to re-
strain himself from expressing appre-
citation could not help from imparting
the good news to his friends and as
sociates.
Mr.. Hardy came to Denver twenty
two years ago with the Phipps family,
is a member of the Central Baptist
Church and has wife, Mrs. Betty
Hardy, both of whom are well re-
spected and much thought of in church
and fraternal circles. We congratu-
late him on being the recipient of so
splendid gift, the result of honesty,
faithfulness and strict attention to
duty-qualities which should be pos
sessed by everyone aiming at success.

Yesterday morning, the Winslow
correspondent while doing a little
buying in one of the local grocery
stores, saw something that, although
mas been in existence for some time.
and perhaps a little tardy in mention.
Is well worth the attention of the
people. To make n long story short.
Archie PrentiSS and his little son. are
the owners of Il very small black dog.
not particularly out of the ordinary
IN appearance, although a very
smooth looking dog. but when this
small CANNES past is known, is a
very unusual dog indeed. Little
Niger was rescued from a ship
that had been blown up during the
war, by a young Winslow soldier.
This dog bears the marks of terrible
usage as well as many scars resulting
from the explosion of the boat, and
although he is the pet of all the
household where he now lives. there
is somehow or other a sad. appealing
look in his eyes, as if he had not
wholly forgotten the past. AS dogs
are so much more intelligent than
some people. it would be wrong to
believe that they do not remember
and little Niger" judging from the
thoughtful, reminiscent look he has,
remembers some of the hard usage
to which he has been subjected. He
does like to ride in Ford car, and
yesterday he was occupying the
front scat with the driver and view
ing the world from a very knowing
pair of brown eyes. He knows his
manners very we'll, and sat up,
rolled over and spoke" for candy.

If chuckles. laughter rising to

in the center. Mack Sennett's capac-
ity to keep two-reels crammed full of
fun has long since been recognized.
Indeed grave newspapers have seri-
ously commented upon Mr.. Sennett's
contributions to mirth noting them
to be a grateful f-set to the activi-

world morose and sad. But his abil-
ity to produce longer works of more
solid value and important proper
