A WITHOUT GOVERNMENT

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
The town of Humboldt, Kan, is an or
ganized city of the third class, with
1900 people, and for eighteen years there
has not been municipal officer in the
town, although the city election has
been held every year. Thereby hangs
a tale. And as it contains a warning
against the voting of bonds and going
into debt, it should be told.
In the spring of 1870 there was pro-
iected south from Junction City to Par
sons a railroad called the southern
branch of the Union Pacific. Humboldt
was not a young town then, but bond
voting was the fashion, and Humboldt
which was old enough to know better
voted bonds to the extent of $4,000 fol-

1T is a peculiar thing" said the know
ing clerk in a hotel which is noted more
quisitiveness into the character of its
guests, tits a peculiar thing the fond
ness the average man has for the letter
H as an initial. Now, l don't suppose
that there are more middle names be-
ginning with H than with any other
letter, NJ orr or S or B, but nine men out
of ten. if they are in doubt about mid
die initial, decide on H. Now,my mid
die initial is w, but for every letter I
get except from people / know well,
that has my initial right 1 get three in
which it is put down H. It's very sell
dom, too, that you'll find man with
sufficient strength of character 10 leave
out the middle initial of the man he's
writing to if he doesn't know it, so he
claps in an H and let's it go. There
seems to be a prevailing superstition that
a man isn't just what he ought to be
unless he has a middle name, and that
the chances are very strong that that
name begins with the eighth letter of the
alphabet.
Now. here's another instance. Cast
your eyes over this page of our regis
