Go a You Please.

tiplicity of weather is the largest feas,
We have had served up to our dispeptiC
liking since we commenced going as
you please"
Why is it so natural for men who are
daily receiving 4 fair-yes, 20 per cent
return for the money they have invested
IN business, 10 seemingly gloat over
nothing SO much as an occasional blue
day? 1t comes as natural for some peo-
pie to permit their chins to vibrate be-
tween their knees like our 'Grandtathers
Clock" as to make a good days earning
OF a single customer. Why not think of
brighter things? Why constantly growl,
spit vinegar and eat ipecac all the while?
All have their dark days, and this al
most criminal practice Of telling strang-
ers as well as friends how gloomy affairs
appear, and reminding them that
general ruin is just outside the door, is
about the shortest sighted way in which
to keep the wheels in motion, that could
be devised
Mills & sherwood Of the celebrated
Nine Mile ranch, have recently disposd
OF some three or four tons of vegetables
to tie cattle firm of Sturgis and Good
dell. The boys have the fever of enter
prise inside their pelts as well developed
as a hornets nest is full of sIivers.
John Code, we notice, is not ashamed
of the "posish' of sherifialty for which
he is travelling, and like truthful james
tells the boys what he wants. And
John, Of al men, knows the weight of
words. Ely is rustling alongside Of
Code for the coveted fruit, and just who
will develop the longest pole, we cannot
aver.
Tom Harvey, Esq, will evidently
prove good running horse alongside of
the llastie mare, and the dust is rising
rapidly all along the political road
The lavish burning of powder, and
the roar kept upat the Four Mile ranch,
is cited as evidencing great faith in the
mines in that locality, and determined
work.
Capt Haserodt's clerical phiz is once
more assuming the martial appearance
ofthe warriors Of Old.
How that corpulent Tom. Wheeler
manages to attend to his business and
grow into wealth as he does, is a marvel
to his best friends. And yet he tells us
that it was always that way with him.
Never could touch anything but it turn
ed into gelt.
Is it too late, in your opinion for ns
bo;s to build a dam and food some ex-
panse for a skating rink this season?
Gosh we are fearful if this state of
affair. continue that we'll forget how TO
strap on her skates. My, but isn't it
science. How warm and enthusiastic a
fellow gets. So far as we are concerned,
there never seemed to be straps and
buckles enough to fuss with
We hope our city dads will try and
remember the ordinance they passed
last winter imposing fine on those lazy
and non-artistic fellows who will insist
on denuding the beautiful side hills sur
rounding Custer, Of the primeval forest
trees. AS winter comes on apace some
laddie buck will try on that game, and
he should be shot with the measles at
once.
Barrin' "Styx," Pete Johnson, Pat.
McHugh, Sam Shankland, Curran, Pete
Stapleton, Garthwait, Kemmish, "Styx,"
George Burroughs, Mlchaud, Burke,
Shafter Flynn and a few others, are the
best built men We have in the city. We
meant also.to have embraced "Styx" in
the above list, as well as Kubler and
George Palmer.
Somebody should open contribution
box and between now and election Sc
cure funds sufficient to pay handsome
ton night, and run the machine all
night; have a big hoodo; loud time,
and know as much when the sun gets
up next morning as old Grant.
We predict that potatos will not 60

Is 1t understood all around that our
fire department is in the most effective
shape for an emergency that it could be?
Or are the buckets in one place, ladders
and hooks in another and the officers
