How Progression Progresses.

Inc daily papers, telephone and cleo
trio light on the Laramie plains, where
erst the ghastly emigrant stretches him
self in the glad sunlight with the roof
OF his head pulled off and bouquet of
Indian arrows in the pit of his stomach,
are marks OF the onward march of Wes-
tern civilization that we cannot ignore.

humorlsts were hung against the even

and where their wild gymnastics shut
out the moonlight as they struggled TO
KICK some pieces out of the milky way,
commerce now fills thes air with its low
hum and the eletc Eastern clerk
charges up one pair of elastic suspen-
ders and two pairs of red flannel under
shirts to the Eastern snob who came out
here to obliterate the hostile tribe of the
Cockeyed Pie 'Biters Of the Laramie
plains.
The pioneer canal on its way across
the valley turns up the bones of Old
Moaning Collie, the Sioux brave, and
the pale face who lives in East Laramie,
while making his asparagus bed and
DONG other chamber work, spades up
the vertebra Of Buckskin Pete, the Holy
Terror Of the Wild, Wild West.
1t is queer that all this should con-
sumo so few years, and it seems odd
that where once short time ago, the
fearless pioneer rode down the street
and shot out the lights in the billiard
halls just as the players were going to
saw of and 90 home, the Street-car will
soon glide its silvcry glade, and the
slim young man with the PLAGUE hat
and the sunbeam cane, and the garden
hose pan,aloons, and the shoes with
pointed toes will walk over your sore
feet and fall into your lap, and crush
your plug hat just the same 40 he does

We are proud of all this, and we have
a right to be. We found the impulsiye
and at times irritable red man here, and
we planted schoolhouses and churches
in his stead. We just changed our
names and came West, TO lead differ
ent life and make civilization get right
up on its hind legs and howl. Nature
gave us fertile soil, dotted with ar
row-heads, moss-agates, old buffalo
skulls and other tropical verdure. All
it needs is irrigation and patience Our
mineral industries, too, are coming to
the front, and our mining stock, if prop
erly irrigated, will also show wonder
ful results.

ExnensiYe Saratnga.

A Louisville CoWter-J0urRdl man
writes: asked a rich friend to tell me
how much it cost him and his party of
three for q days board at Saratoga.
"Woll," said he, 'you see that these
three rooms are called cottage. In
New York, when there is u building
where diilerentfamilies occupy therooms
opposite to you and above you, it is
called tenement house; at Saratoga il
is the swell thing, and is dignilied by
the name of cottage. We are on what
is called in other places the ground floor
and the windows in the two bedrooms
each open on a court only; you see that
the furniture is nothing remarkable, the
rooms not large; and yet, as you can
read on the notice tackled on each door,
The price of this cottage is $50 day,
and $3.50 day extra for each person
in the cottage That is 1927 for three of
us. We have private table set in our
parlor; that is 50 day extra, and the
board for servant man, horses and car
riage brings the expense TO $50 day.

AN AMUSING COURT SCENE.

A young Austin lawyer was appoint.
ed to defend negro who was too poor
TO hire counsel of his own. After the
jury was in the box the young lawyer
challenged several jurymen whom his
client said had a prejudice against
him.
"Are there any more jurymen who
have a prejudice against youP" wills.
pered the young lawyer.
"No, boss, de jury am all right, bu,
now wants you to challenge de ledge
/ has been convicted under him sebera
times already, and maybe he is beginin'
TO have prejudice agin me-"
The young lawyer, this being his frs,
case, took the advice of his client, and
addressing the court, told the Judge he
could step aside.

Blow Out the Light.

An exchange gives some hints and in
formation which may be useful as fol-
lows: Persons whose business does not
make it necessary for them to be out
late at night would be surprised in a
nights walk to observe the great num-
Der of residences in which n lamp is
kept burning all night. The practice is
in some cases necessary on account Of
sickness in the family, but it is never
theless very hurtful. No matter how
carefully they may be attended, kero-
sene lamp throw out gas which is very
poisonous. When light is left burn
ing the windows Of the room are usual
ly closed, because if left open the light
would attract flies and mosquitoes. The
fame of one light turned down low re-
quires more oxygen to keep it burning
than is consumed by two adult persons,
The light from the lamp is also injuri-
Gus to the eyes, and possibly to thisfact
may be traced the constantly increasing
prevalence Of eye diseases. The best
way is to keep a lamp ready to light in
case Of emergency during the darkness.

1t was terrible snus that the
House of Representatives admins
tered to Speaker keifer and Robson
on Tuesday 10y Intentionally omit
ting the resolution of compliment to
the Speaker that is usually passed
on the eve of adjournment. The
custom has the sanction of many
years of observance, and is in itself
a courteous expression of the fact
that, how bitter party contests may
have ragged during the session, the
Speaker has endeavored to be just to
all members. For this reason it has
been the practice for the resolution
TO be offered from the minority side
of the House, and it was kept up
even during the embittered days of
the slavery contest, the war and the
reconstruction period. Moreover, it
