EVERYBODY BUT THE PRINTER.
The following taken from an ex-
change is the experience of every
owner of a newspaper in the country:
last week man stepped up to
US and said he would pay as every
cent he owed US ifhe lived until Sat-
urday night. We haven't seen him
since, and presumed he died on Fri
day. Another man said he would
pay us in day or two as sure as we
were born. Query: Did the man
lie, or were we never born? Another
said he would settle as sure as shoot
ing. We are led to the conclusion
that shooting is very uncertain. AN
other said he hoped to 60 to the
devil if he did not pay us IN three
days. Have not seen him since, but
suppose he had gone. Quite num-
Der said they would see us to-mor-
row. These men has been stricken
blind or tomorrow has not come.
One told us six months ago that he
would pay us as soon as he got some
money. The man would not lie and
of course he hasn't had cent SINCE.

BY THE WAY,
Valentine day next.


1t is grounding day.
Don't be too hard on the tramps.
Never make fun of an aged person
for age is venerable.
Papa Quenzel enjoys good joke,
especially on Boyer or Feidt.
There were large number of bald
heads at JEANNE Winston opera.

Youngsters who ride around on BIZ

it be the caramels and ice cream, ac-

Ofcourse we don't consider the "splin-

/ A pretty girl is thing of beauty

Then, things change. The man not

There are some funny people in
the VIVA. legislature--they growl,
curse one another, swear eternal
vengeance, and then-go out and
take drink together.
The habit of gum chewing in this
country is producing a race of hol-
low checked young women. The
constant exercise of the messeter
muscles hardens it and removes the
fatty covering that condones to
roundness. Not only is the fullness
of the cheek destroyed but there is
tendency to wrinkle the skin, nat
ural result of the falling away of the
parts beneath it.
There are some grave doubts en-
tertained as to the ability of the
United States to lick Germany in
square fight. The Germans load
their cannon with heavy balls which
are filed with saurkraut and Linn
burger cheese, and when these balls
explode whole armies are annihilated
on the spot. 1t is hardly possible
that the American olfactories
would endure such missiles. How
ever, we have remedy. If the
worse come to the worse the United
States cannon balls can be filed with
the essence of Hannisville ex-
tract and then the German military
will have to crawl into its hole.

It is hardly necessary to state that
there are no. square houses running
under the auspices of the Hankins-

If the houses were square they
would not make the great sums of
money that they do.
One man who is close to the trust
said yesterday what is the use of
dealing square cards? The fellows We

might just as Wen take their money,

the aid OF the law to have their money
returned A man who, under Harrison's
administration was close to Hankins,
estimates that the expenses of the es-
adjustment are not less than @5,000per
week or $500 900 per year The gross
earnings Of the house are estimated at
Sj50,000 per year, leaving a net profit
Of 1890, 900 per year. This enormous
sum comes from the pockets of the poor
clerks and poorer laborers. Boys are
admitted to the house without question,
and their meager salaries and doubt

that enriches the proprietors at the

relating to Hawkins earnings before.

There are 1,250, 600 people in Chi

Are they taxed in order that their
taxmasters shall sit idly by while a
trust of blackIegs robs their small
businesses Of 100000 a month, or
$4,000 1000 a year?
Can the community stand such a
strain on its resources? 1t cannot.
