A Laugable Mistake.

Two ladies entered a book store recently
and the younger asked the clerk for book
called Favorite Prescription" The puzzled
attendant was unable to comply with her

Inquiry elected the fact that she had over
heard a conversation between two literary
ladies in which "Favorite Prescription" was
mentioned with extravaganza praise, and had
iumwed to the conclusion that it was book.
She now knows that DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is a sovereign cure for the ills

Here are some very good instruc-
tons for killing a newspaper: Just
let your subscription go. It's only
dollar or two-the publisher don't
need it If he asks you for i5 get just
as mad as you can, and tell him to
stop the paper-you never read it
anyhow. Then go and borrow your
neighbours. When the reporter comes
for news always be busy. Make him
feel az if he were intruding-that
your time is worth 500 minute.
When the advertising and job man
comes, tell him you don't need to ad-
vertise-everybody konws you; that
you will try and get along without any
printed stationery-it's too eXpen-
sive; that business is slack and you
must economic. Never drop In to
see the editor unless you want free
complimentary notice or lengthy
obituary for beloved relative. Never
recommend the paper to anybody.
When you speak of it always say:
eyes, we have a little sheet, but it
doesn't amount to much" Keep this
up for year or two, and you Will
have a dead newspaper, dead set OF
merchants and a dead town.

The following article on road building

Waller, of The agricultural college and

At prssen; no one would think OF ask
ing for any changes in our road laws
that would place q heavier burden on
the tax payers of the state. But since
our state is so largely employed in asri-
culture. mining and numbering, thus
nscessitating heavy teaming. 1t be,
comes the duty of every citizen to see
that all moneys collected for road pur-
poses are expended on improvements
that will be permanent.
First of all no money or labor should
be expended on road that does not
offer proper grades. Many of our high
ways should be re-surveyed by comps-
tent engineer. and, SO far as possible, a
five per cent. grade should be consid-
cred limit. Only where the first cost
would be great sho uld any sleeper grade
be allowed.
Most of our roads that ascend hills
of any considerable length, have short
descents in them, or counter grades.
These counter grades place an extra tax
upon teams, harness and wagons, and
should never be allowed except where
the mott urgent necessity demands
them.

burned the hotel building belonging to
Donahue, but he charges that he was to
receive 500 for the work. The char
acter Of Mcdonald is such that no cred

cause he refused to give him drink OF

The fees of the county clerks Office
FIR the month of December were the

wasn't well with him at least. "My
orders are to take charge of this post
and all government property in view,"
he had begun when questioned by the
officer of the day, and as Fcrguson's
horse wasn't government property he
might have wriggled out of his pre-
liuament under that head were not
other clauses in his orders which he
knew as well as did the officer Of the
day, One of these read: "Allow no
horse to be taken out of the corral be-
tween tattoo and revsille except in pres
ence of a commissioned officer, the quar-
termaster sergeant or the corporal of
the guard" and as Ferguson's horse
could neither have climbed nor jumped
nine-foot high adobe wall, the conclu-
sion was irresistible that he had been
led or ridden out through the gateway,
and it was the sentry's business to see
and stop him. There were still other
orders bearing on the case. The
man Muncey must have crossed the
sentry's post both when he entered
and when he left the corral, and
the sentry's orders forbade his al
lowing any person to pass without the
countersign - the password for the
night, with which only certain few Of
the officers and guard were intrusted.
The post commander had permitted the
refugee prospectors to turn their horses
and mules into the big new corral.

availed themselves, but the quarter
master sergeant and his men who slept.
ordinarily in a tent pitched just within
the gateway had not slept at all this
night, but in common with those men,
bers of the garrison who were not act
ually in ranks awaiting orders were out
somewhere along that northward bluff
watching eagerly for further sign from
the front. The plain truth of the mat
ter was that Casey, too, instead of
watching the corral, kept as much as
possible at the northward end of his
post, where he could see or hear what
might be going on in that quarter. And
so it happened that the corral was left
practically unguarded, and Muncey had
been able to enter and quit at his own
sweet will.
1t wouldn't help Casey to say he
didn't see or didn't hear. Schoolboy
excuses are not accepted in the army.
A sentry must see and must hear even
in nights dark as Erebus and bluster-
ing as boiler shop, which this sum-
mer night was not. On the contrary,
it was soft and still and starlit. There
was no moon. but the SKY was cloud
less, and had Casey used even ordinary
vigilance. no one without his knowl-
edge could have trespassed on his
guarded land. At twelve-thirty, when
the third relief was started around,
Private Meisner took Casey's post The
latter was in no sense surprised,
