Making Things Interesting for Bu,
Chudso-.A Great Climate.
The RIGHT THTNG.-We told Bill Chudsc
in these columns over TWO months a-ptu
the climate of this locality would Wear him
out, and strongly advised him 10 travel.
lie thought lie knew the town better han
we did, and the result was a hanging last
Friday night. Bill kept Oh drinking and
fussiug until he put i bullet into Indian
Nike No doubt Nike ought to have been
shot long ago, but the boys concluded ina.
Bill ChudsO was getting too careless WIKI
his gun, aud lie was invited to go out and
be hung.
We were early on the spot, OF course
while our contemporary never ven hear.
Of the case until next day. We eypec-r-
Bill would be a little sore on us but us
wasn't. He wanted to shake haud- wit
US before he was tied, and during the Il
teen minutes allowed him on the hegI o

Us as citizen and as the editor of great
weekly paper. He called direct attention
oThe Kicker, declaring it wort five tins

vance,, ana added that if he had heed-j
the good advice found in every issue Lt
would not have bean standing where ht
was. In fact, Bill talked so Auently tha
we were almost mind to ash the boys L.
spare him and let Us try him as al adver
Using solicitor We reflected, however
that the crowd had peen put to great
deal of trouble and would probably ne
disappointed, and therefore held our peace
while Bill was swung off. The very !as;
thing he did was to hand us his gun rs G-
equivalent to the cost of ten years sub
scription to The Kicker for his mother.
It's TIE CLIMATE-We are in receipt Of
letters every week from parties in the east
asking about business, the climate chance.

this country, and we don't deny that there
are some bad ones. The better way IS 81
come out and personally Investigate. As
far as the climate is concerned, We declare
it the best on earth. Our own case is u
proof of what it can do. We arrived ia
this town three years ago with one luuI
gone, lame in both knees, dead broke fa-
cash, and having a cough on Us which
made everybody think thunderstorm .7..4

were so bad we couldn't see a Digger iu-

we could have suspected what was up.
The first three nights here we slept IN
der a wagon on Kit Carson square, and -
distinctly remember of old Bill Parker
kicking US across the street when we asked
him to lend US a dime to buy breakfast.
Old Bill is dead now. We took somewhat
of an active part in his hanging. Today
We are the richest and the healthiest MAI
in the county, feel like a Texas steer all
the time, and have got a hole fail Of
money Before the climate took hold Oi
Us anybody could boot US around and slap
cur jaws. The worm turned one day, and
since that time we have shot ten men and
discouraged about fifty others. The man
who kicks us has got to be chain lightning.
We lead the social swirl, will shortly Ia
elected mayor, and whatever we say goes.
Gradually, as the climate has affected and
-developed US, ve have introduced the styla
of eating with fork, wearing white shirts
and encouraging Chinese laundries, and
we are considered authority On grammar,
prize fights, ancient history, poetry, the
business outlook and the grizzly bear.-M.
