The following advice from an ex-
change cannot fail to interest some OF
the young men of EmpOria: Take
care OF your money while you are young
and when you get old it will take care
of you. Don't spend it punching balls
with a stick or sucking fluids through
n straw. 1t lays the man with the balls,
and sticks, and fluids, and straws, liable
to a fine, and will get you into trouble"

MONDAY, May 2.
We would like some one to tell us that
it raIned last night. We have met $50
men, women and boys, with whole
"passle" of girls thrown in, and every
one them said, cit raincd last night Had
fine RAIN" "good rain," "big rain"
"large rain" mice rain, ""splendid rain,"
Handsome rain," and more kinds of
rain than the rain maker himself could
think OF, and every person we met kept
this up until we became fairly des-
perale, when man coming across the
street, reached out his hand and began
with: I'VE had Il bounti-" Then our
passions got the better of US, and we told
him we would give him "bountiful,"
and struck him such terrific blew that
we knocked him a mile and half into
nowhere, and the last we heard as he
went whirling through the air was:
'sR-r-r-r-r r-r aim" And we have sworn
vengeance on the first man that thinks
rain within one hundred miles of us, and
we advise the next man that meets US
with Hrain" to have his life insured for
800 OOO, 900, for we are just terrible.
