KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN says: "What
a good, what a pungent story, THE
CUSTARD CUP! More power to the
- author’s elbow. Florence Bingham Livingston
is a talented creature.”
We recommend it for its delicious humor, the
sense of joy in living which it leaves with the
reader, and for the author’s very, great ability
in picturing the lives of a group of people who
live on almost nn>l»i«g a year, and manage to
have an uproariously good time.
A story of human kindness, of everyday folks, of
tuodhlrs and worries,but most of all of thegenu*
tneJoys to be found in the litde things oFufe if
only one has the faith to make them come true.

lege -on Normal. Heights last Thurs

long time.
T. H, Bencorn, newly appointed re
ceiver of the D. & R. G. W. railroad,

eral superintendent.
The editor got his first call for an
necident last Sunday night when our
magneto refused to play and we
were forced to run home from Ce
bolla on batteries. The battery ig
nition did not work very well and we
sent our better half and “chauffer,”
Ernest Chinery, ahead for some help.
Remaining with the Lizzie alone un
til after dark, when some Montrose
men appeared from the east and
helped us' get started we tried th
negotiate the hill without lights, un
successfully. Result, rolled off and
made two and a half revolutions down
erade sideways, and through a wire
fence into Mr. Carpenter’s meadow.
Landed very nice and safe wrong side
up but unhurt The other motorists
helped us out and our only damage is
a couple of busted bows and a broken
windshield. We always was lucky.
Some of our people were badly
scared up when the dailies arrived
Tuesday, reporting a bad Santa Fe
and Colorado Southern wreck east of
Pueblo. Our old friend Evan Brown,
express messenger on the C. & S..
was reported killed in some of the
papers and badly injured in others.
A telegram received by his relatives
assured them that he was alive and
not seriously hurt. Evan was caught
under an overturned safe and would
have been crushed had it not have
been that one end of the safe struok
on n pile of express and thus held
the weight off him. Needless to say
that his host of Gunnison friends
were greatly relieved by his message.
The wreck seems to have occurred
from conflicting train orders. Sev
eral persons were killed and many
injured.
It takes just one trip over the
Black mesa to make any person an
active denouncer of the County Com
missioners who have neglected that
highway as has been done this year.
A mere trifle of energy and work
would make an ideal road of the pres
ent cow trail. When one considers
the hundreds of thousands being spent
on the Blue mesa and realizes that a
very few men in a comparatively few
days could make a better highway
over the Black than will be obtained
with al] the profligate expense on the
other route, it is enough to madden
one.
A Mexican named Revolla. working
