ColLEcTINo.-The following from an ex-
change is often very applicable to Elko:
Last week man stepped up to us and
said he would pay us every cent he owed us il
he lived until Saturday night. We presume
the man died Another said he would pay us
IN day or two, as sure as we were born.
Queryr Did the man lie, or were we ever
born? Another said he would settle rs sure
as shooting. We are led to the conclusion
that shooting is mighty uncertain. Another
hoped to go to the devil if he did not pay us
in three days. Haven't seen him since. but
We trust he has not hoped in vain Quite
number said they would see us tomorrow.
Those men have been blind or else tomorrow
has not come. One man told us six months
ago that he would pay us as soon as he 90,
some money. That man would not lie and
Of course, he has not had cent since"
