There are a few women in our
land who would like to take the
place of men and would rather do
a man's work , leaving their own
undone. They would like to be
known as public benefactors while
perhaps their own children suffer
from neglect. You will find them
in public places more than at their
homes and they generally want
their names to go down as leaders
or they are not in ibat all. Who of
you that ever heard a hen try to
crow that ever had the same de
gree of respect for her majesty ?

There is considerable talk of
where the postoffice ought to be.
We are not complaining of its
present location and believe it to
be satisfactory to all the people in
the town as a central point. If
there is a political pull strong
enough however , it could be aband
oned entirely to please one or two
persons. Our government is no
longer a government for the people
ple but for a few persons who have
"a pull" as they call it , with some
officer whom they can work or
chooses to be wprked.

Ed Democrat :
Dear friend , I suppose an apol
ogy for writing would not be accept
ed and as "THE DEMOCRAT" is a
great big letter to me each week I
feel it my duty as well as pleasure
to inform my friends through it
something of my whereabouts and
how things appear to me here. I
am in Colorado Springs with my
family and we are running a large
restaurant , seating capacity , 50
people. Paxson has quit his place
in the Colorado Fuel & Iron Works
and has taken charge of the rest
aurant nights. Mrs. Hornback
has care of the 11 rooms ( in con
nection with restaurant ) and she is
improving in health with no sign
of hay fever as yet and just now is
away on a visit to her sisters near
Rocky Ford , w&ere the fruit is all
killed by a late frost. This same
frost nearly ruined the first crop
of alfalfa. Has been a very back
ward spring. Sugar beets had to
be planted over again. There is a
sugar beet factory at Rocky Ford.
Rocky Ford waternelons and muskmelons -
melons promise fair. Hail and
frost do lots of damage here so
that farming is a pretty hard pro
position. At Colorado Springs we
have good water and cool climate.
We are very pleasantly located
here , the Antler hotel park west
of us and the mountains and Pikes
Peak make a magnificent view.
We hope some of our Valentine
friends may happen out this way
and come and see us. They may
be sure of a welcome. Sending
our best wishes to all our friends ,
We remain as ever ,
J. A. HORNBACK.
Last Saturday night a great
crowd of people collected in front
of Perry William Commodore Cor
nelius Lawson's place to hear Mrs.
Lawson relate her grievances to
Marshal John Simpson whom she
had called to arrest Mrs. William
J. Dooley because the latter had
called her "a mat headed black
niggah. " Mrs. Lawson would not
stand it and wanted Mrs. Dooley
run out en de town or she would
break her neck so she would. Mrs.
Dooley didn't want to be run out
en de town by Mrs. Lawson and it
was hard to tell by their talk which
which would succeed in convincing
John that she was not to blame but
John told them both to go in the
house and keep still which they
seemed reluctant to do. In fact
John admits that he would rather
take care of a dozen men than two
women and thought the best thing
he could do was-to coax them to
go back into their respective places
of abode and "stop talkin about
this 'ere thing. " All agreed that
John's diplomacy succeeded in
averting a great danger but not
before Dad Hershey had run a
block to get a gun for his own
personal protection. Both women
seemed determined to have the last
work and it kept John pretty busy
going from one to the other quiet
ing them down. &t one stage of
the game , Mr. Dooley , who is a
tailor at the Post , h aving called
his wife into Cohota's restaurant
and admonished her to let the oth
er woman alone , became so incensed
at Mrs. Lavson'sincessant abuse
of his wife and the apparent hilar
ity of the crowd that he walked
out and told Mrs. Lawson to shut
up or1 he would poke his fist in her
face. Mrs. Lawson was hurried
into Perry's barber shop by the
marshal and admonished to keep
still. The trouble started when
Mrs. Lawson had called her Rosina
to "come away from dem trash"
as she designated two girls with
which she had been playing and
and also cast reflections on Mrs.
Dooley who had been working for
Mr. Cohota.

it.
_ , It was announced at chapel last
Friday morning that the students
were to meet at Judge Walcott's
armed with their rubber boots and
from thence would go to the creek
where Prof. MaGee would ferry
them across. All were anticipa
ting a fine boat ride until we ar
rived at the bank where we found
Mr. Welsh's delivery wagon. Be
ing hauled across was almost as
nice as being rowed. After a good
deal of scrambling , walking and
climbing we found ourselves up on
Lone Pine hill from where we re
turned to town by the mill. Many
have expressed a desire that we
might have some excursion of this
kind every week.
