HORSEPOWER is not a pleasantlv

HORSEPOWER is not a pleasantly
suggestive name. But there was a
man once with the ridiculous name
of Longfellow, who made the name a
beautiful one. There have even been
great men with such names as Hogg
and Bacon. A great man can make
ridiculous name dignifled. Even
Dink Bolts himself, if he had the
elements Of greatness in him, would
make his name stately and high
sounding one.

Now and then glutzon can be

supposed to be the impossible and
eat quail each day for thirty con-

apt in any way to increase the future

A DOCTOR in Jail accused of murder
has retained a lawyer for $4,000 He
tried to retain a reporter also but
the reporter declined. The lawyer
has peculiar advantage in that
under the impulse OF fee he can
persuade himself that the guilty man
is innocent and can, therefore, with
lofty purpose and conscience clear,
help him cheat the gallows.

TRAIN robbery is becoming dan
gerous and Improbable occupation.
When the bandits themselves are
held up q new face is put on the
business that will have a wholesome
