Uncle David Penrod was in the
first of the week to appear as the
prosecuting witness against the Hol-
combe boys for housebreaking. This
old 'gentlemrn has had more than his
share of trouble Of late. After iery
thing was stolen from his house, two
men he had taken in and was feed
ing, tried to poison him with strych-
nine. He went to FL Paso to secure
work, and while absent from home,
in the Penasco country, his ranch
was jumped. We hope the Penasco
people will show their appreciation
for this ranch jumper by making him
get off this property at once. We
think Mr.. Penrod has had enough
trouble, and we believe the good peo-
pie of Penasco think so, too.
! Sunday night, in certain store in
this town, two old friends were talk
ing over war times. One was in the
northern and the other in the south
ern army. The conversation opened
by the southern man telling about
killing Indians in a certain gap in
western Texas. The northern man
told of a fight with the red men that
was just little stronger and more
dangerous. The southern man, be-
coming excited and seeing that his
friend was getting the best of the
story telling, jumped up and said:
"You can talk about your Indian
wars, but they are tame in compari-
son with the battles US southern fell
lows fought, and ] was in the con
federate army seven years." They
wet up and dispersed.

THE SKUNK.

OF all the songsters of the forrest,
there is no bird that SO attracts the
attention as the skunk. 1t is very,
very seldom that this species of bird
is sufficiently we'll tanned to place ii
a canary cage and hang out in the
sun to sing for the neighborhood.
There is a wherencss of the damn
that ever suggests itself when one
feels the absorbing presence Of the
skunk.
They are very rare as domestic
pets and one never knows the sex
OF the bird and | never knew anv
body who wanted to know. | done
suppose any body ever noted the
difference between the singing of q
male skunk and the female skunk,
and it is my impression that they
sing exactly similar, only one sings
louder than the other. Some times
they sing with such precision and
accuracy that it is totally impossible
to distinguish male from female, but
at such times no one seems anxious
to make any delaying distinctions.
The voice Of the skunk is SO pecu-
liarly strong that one who is near the
bird when it sings will think that
the bird has eaten something that
soured its stomach and made its
breath smell as though it were loaded
for blasting rock.
The tame skunk will fool around
wood-pile long time, but a man
don't saw wood just then. | never
had a tame skunk, but | have fire.
quentlv looked upon their beautiful
striped forms and listened to their
songs. But | did not listen too
cIose--I never listen to a skunk sing
too close. have known people who
listened too close to a skunk and
then everybody thought they were
dead and begun to decay. | have
thought so myseIf.
The skunk doesn't perch himself
on anything smaller than a cord of
wood to sing, One popularity is
that it sings whenever you come
upon it suddenly, and the more sud.
denly the more sing, and n man is
just as sorry to stumble over poor
little skunk as he can be. J never
knew man who was glad that he
had stepped on skunk. No other
bird is so listless and careless of its
comfort as to loaf about under peo.
pies feet; but the skunk, sometimes
can sing under fat mans foot as
I well as under a blackberry bush.
But the man would much rather
listen to the bird sing under the
bush.
The large, hushy tail of the skunk
is the largest | ever noticed on 8
bird, and, strange to relate, the birC
/ can take half brick in that bush,

make him look tired. | never saw
skunk throw a brick, but people
who have been hit tell me it is true
| do not doubt but that the bird car

"Pshaw. You'll never learn to

''The less said about that mouth

8, In speaking of the resolution
adopted by the association that a
man must own water III proportion
to the amount OF stock he has on the
ralrge, he closes with the insinuation:
"Now look out for Indians; some
thing is going to. drop" There can
be but one construction placed on
that sentence, and that is this: that
the members Of the association in
tend, disguised as Indians, to run of
the stock of men who fail to comply
with the regulation. Mr.. Sly is in
formed that there is a standing com
mittee to attend to those waterless
fellows that impose on their neigh
bors, and said committee are ever
ready to move the stock Of aforesaid
dead beats from the waters of the
association in broad daylight; and
if Mr.. Sly doubts it, let hlm try the
experiment Of placing stock on the
range without first purchasing water
for the same.
