Wonder If bald-headed man keeps
cooler than any one else this hot weather
If We thought SO, we'd 60 and - We
had almost said get married, and SO become
bald at once, but sober second thought
speaks out in warning tones against any
such literal demonstration Of ''jumping out
Of the frying pan into the fire."
A RAzoo reporter was informed by a

The ex-confederate soldiers of Mis-
souri, now living in Texas, are going to

The porters and brakemen on Jack
PatteRon's train are in high favor with the
public. Their courtesy in waiting upon
the old people on their train, civilly an
swering their questions, busting their
clothes, and in many other ways showing
them little kindnesses. They are rewarded
by the general approval of all who witness
it. Mr.. Patterson himself is a gentleman
in the fullest sense of the word.
The Pacific railroad company pays its
employees all that is due them, and pays
promptly. Because one man don't happen
to get his pay just as he deems right, he
must 60 bullying into an officers Office,
and If he is summarily elected, as he
should be if he don't behave himself, he
is called upon to shoot his employers
That man should be pun
ished if there is Law on the statute books
to do so, and the BAzOO believes that
Dean will get just what the law directs in
such cases.
