Some three mornings since Mr.. Clark
H.. Irish, who resides on East Sixteenth
street, went out to his hen house and
found that some one had broken in during
the night and had killed and carried off
five of his hens. He knew they had been
killed, from the fact that their heads,
which had been cut off, were lying around
in the hen house. That day some car
penters came into the place where he is
employed, on Sixteenth street, and said
they had lost some carpenters tools, and
that they had probably been stolen. MIR.
Irish remarked that the tools had proba-
bly, gone to hunt for his chickens. They
inquired ifhc had lost any, when he told
them all about il. They said they had
discovered some chickens up where they
were at work on a new house, beyond the
electric light tower. He went up there
and found them. \ fire had been built
in the cellar and one of the hens had been
roasted, ~cntrLiis and all, and some of tho
meat cut from the breast, but the others
had not been cooked. This is another il
Illustration of the beauty of having so
many tramps around.

A very severe thunder storm passed
over the city from the south
west last evening, and for about three
hours it rained continuously. 1t was ac-
companied by thunder and lightning,
which at times was pretty serious. The
streets were badly flooded with water,
although not so as to render them impas-
sable. This was the first genuine thunder
storm of the season.

The story is told of a certain individual
in Cheyenne who started in to pay a lily
erynan IS per week, to be held by him to
defray his funeral expenses, and kept it
up for several weeks. Finally, however,
he got drunk and went to the liveryman
and drew out the total mount of his
bone yard fund, " as he termed it, and
went on a glorious old spree.

"Painting il RedD

A gentleman who does not live far
from Mexico often comes to town and
gets drunk with trimmings. Last
week one day he came in early. So
he said to Marshal Murray:
'Almost every paper I pick up has
something in it about painting the
town red. I don't see any red around
Mexico to speak of. Do they paint
the buildings, or sidewalks, or WHAT"
"My innocent friend" replied Joe,
s'the term does not refer exactly to
paint and brushes. If you should
come in here to clean out Mexico, or
if you vel going on a high old spree,
or if you intended to raise an excite
ment, you would slant your hat over
your left ear, spit over your right
shoulder, and announce in a loud
voice that you going to paint
the town red"
Because red is the color of blood
-fre-lightning-red-h hot times, ehs"
Exactly"
kind of afggerative expressions"
"Just So"
"Well, I'm glad I've found out, and
I'm much Eobleeged," said the stran-
ger as he walked away.
Two hours later he was conducted
to the cooler, four-ffths drunk and a
tough case to handle. He had a
black eye, a bloody nose, a bleeding
ear, and had been rolled in the dirt
until he was a sight to see. When
Judge Tomlinson asked the charge
the prisoner replied:
"Red paint Jedge-put 'er down
red paint. Been all around paintin'
er town red. Town been all around
paintin' me red. Whoopa Lively
old town! Lively old red! Got
painted till 'er can't rest! Put 'er
down red paint-more'n a barl of

The term "free trade as applied
to the political opinions of men or

pable misnomer. The most advanced
revenue reformer in the Democratic
party is an immense distance from a

by the Democratic platform and
Democrats is that no more revenue

meet the needs of the government.
These needs are large, and the duties
