shadows OF failure in everything that is
proposed to help the town, says an
exchange, .for heavens sake go into
some secluded canyon and kick your
own shadow on the clay banks and thus
give the men who are working to build
up the town chance. One long-faced,
hollow eyed. whining, carping chronic
kicker, can do more to keep business
and capital from town than all the
droughts, snort crops, chinch bugs,
cyclones and billiards combined
