Let Them Down Ea=y.

The Preston women got out of their
trouble very cheaply, is the general i'm
preston. On Friday. they appeared
before Judge Ellis and plead guilty to
petit larceny, and the mother and
daughter were each fined $50 and costs,
the minimum punishment for such an
offense. The costs were about $56.
The fine and costs we've At once paid
and the women were taken home by
Mr.. Preston. When it is remembered
that at least four cases of petit larceny
could have been made against them,
they may consider themselves very
lncky. And now, if we were merchant
of Medicine Lodge, we would keep an
eye open for other supposed shop-llfters.
for. unless there has been some tall
lying done, there are others in this COM
munity. In fact it is safe to watch any
man or woman who makes a practice
of loafing around the stores without
pretending to purchase anything.

VERY HUMAN.

There is no end of stories To show
the intelligence and human-hke
feelings of animals. One Is almost

respects the same feelings as our

children seemed 10 range in ages
all the way from two to five, six,

child ordinarily does aud the
mother would occasionally slap aud

youngest, hung around her with all
the extreme dependence OF infancy.
Meanwhile tho six.year-old, slim
and very mlschievious urchin, Was
skipping around In ecstasy at the

Sometimes he would get quite near
Ia the mother, who would scold aud
slap at him. Finally his mockings

Every thinker knows that the
man who would succeed must do
more work than he gets paid for, in
every profession and trade. We
take it for granted that the man who
will do only $40 worth of work n
week because his salary is but $50
will never get more than $20a week,
for the simple reason that he has
never shown his employer that he is
worth more. We figure it that an
employe who means to succeed has
to do from 10 to 20 per cent more
work than he gets actual pay for
This he has to do until he reaches u
certain point, and having reached
that point he Will find that by as
much as his income has increased,
by so much has the demand for
amount and intensity of his labor
TO put this theory into
figures, we will say that u boy re-
ceiving S3 II week should do 81 worth
of work; the boy receiving 81 n week
should do 81 worth OF work; when
he gets To he n man and receives $50
n week, he should do $50 worth of
work; II man receiving $50 should do
$40 worth OF work, and so on until,
say, the salary reaches $75, and then
the laborer can give himself some
what of rest, that is to say, about
$50 worth of work will satisfy his

she went out and presently a
