The Editor Takes a Hand In the Affairs of

IT DIDN'T FATL-On Tuesday of this
week there We're rumors around town that
our local bank was on the eve of closing it's
doors 1t is an institution which began
business here three years ago and has en-
joyed the full confidence of the public from
the very start. 1t is needless to observe that
banking business in the great and glorious
west differs considerably from banking
business in the contracted and effete east
The boys rather left the matter in our
hands, and our first move was to picket all
the roads leading out of town. with orders
to capture any bank official dead or alive
who should attempt to skip. We then sta
toned man in the alley in rear of the bank
and another in front of the house of the
president. Then, taking five eminent citi-
zens with us, we called at the bank and
asked for a statement. The genial presi-
dent at first informed us that the liabilities
were S32, 900 and the assets only SC, 600, and
that failure was certain, but few minutes
conversation changed everything about.
His second statement showed assets at S18,-
600 and liabilities nothing. We personally
assisted to count the money and figure up
the collateral, and when this task had been
completed the genial president decided
not to announce suspension. We have
over Sc 600 on deposit but are not in the
least anxious. Not one of the people con-
nected with the bank can get out of this
town without flying through the air If
there is any suspension under present as
sets and liabilities, the president and CASH

tary ordered to 60 ahead and open for busi-

What He Saw.

The country store in the sunny south is
the rendezvous for all the village inhabit-
ants, large and small, black and white,
where the news is circulated and jokes per

A group of loungers were seated in store
OF this kind when coffee colored coon with
sioplng shoulders and ears at right angles
to bis head shuffied through the doorway

Oh, he had legs and body and long ears. ?
Dat wasn't no lion, yo' poor white
trash" returned the darkey disguised.
Dat was q jackass.a
Well, you look just like him, y answered
the lounger, with a grin.
Pomp saw the joke, though he didn't like
it to be on him. just then neighboring
planter entered the store, and the negro saw
chance to repeat the jest at another's ex
pense.
Morning, Massa Johnson said he; ..yo'
look jest like dat lion saw yes'dy.a
Where did you see lion, you fool?m was
the courteous response.

He Had to Go.

We were about &c miles to the northeast
of Santa Fe when we met a man driving
span of mules attached to light wagon.
He was arough looking chap, and his mules
had been hard pushed, but he halted as he
reached the head of the train, and If we
had entertained any suspicious they were
soon dispelled by his statement. He got
down and pulled tombstone out. of the
back end of the wagon and said:
.You passed my cabin back thar at Blue
Jay creek, about seven miles from here.
Bin livin thar with the old woman fur the
last 10 years She died about two weeks
ago."

THE LITTLE THINGS OF LEE.


have often vaguely noticed how shc lesser
things of life
Overcome the great and mighty without argli
ment or strife.
For example, note the carpet tack. whose point
projects In space
How quick its influence alters the devout, r.-
Egious face;
Note how the small banana skin that lies upon
the curb
BY instantaneous magic doth the manly pose
disturb.
Mark how dignity and culture throw their
courtly manners by
To lavish warm expressions on the merry lit
tic fly
How the sanctity of worship melts before the
sudden breeze
And the violent explosion OF an unexpected
sneeze:
How the all wise man of science shakes in un-
disguised alarm
AS some fond, aspiring mother lays baby on
his arm:
How the normal gracious nature overfiows
with rage and scorn
When confronted with the knowledge OF a
collar button gone;
And how many able bodied. self respecting
stalwart men
Have been Knocked completely undern by d
stylographic penl
