The Tramp

The tramp came back. He went
further and Jared worse. Know.
ing that an election was on, and
having tasted the sweets of the
same in Teton county heretofore,
he returned. He has been sadly
disappointed. New faces have ap-
peared on the scene with holes IN
them so Dig that they can swallow
everything in sight. Indeed, that
is not saying very much, for the
stony stare that he meets when he
approaches the dealer in refresh
ments shows that the candidates
have left little or no deposits be.
hind the bars for the benefit of
thirsty voters, according to the
time-honored custom. They take
a mean advantage of that law that
may be interpreted as prohibiting
them spending anything on their
friends. But tramp has a vote as
we'll as an overgrown thirst and he
has yet to find out what to do with
either of them.
AS the tramp was meanderlng
along the road into town the other
day a man drove up II a buggy and
kindly offered him a ride. When
he got in a large bottle Of Fry's
best was pulled on him. AS he
caught his breath he winked the
other eye and thought he was in
luck, having struck a candidate.
What efice he wanted could not be
told, as he first canvassed for one
and then another. AT last the
tramp asked him and was so els
gusted that he would have got out
if he could have swiped the bottle
when the guy said he was not a
candidate at all, but just talking
for @ few friends. God help the
friends. But that chap is alright.
He has got a ST ap, and the tramp
hereby offers himself as a bellows
for the use of any and every polit-
ical candidate in the field. He
can talk louder, lie faster and
knows less about carrying on a
campaign THAI any other son of q
gun in the county. Remunera-

CaItiyztinE Butterflies

Recent experiments in the applica-
ton of both heat and cold to the eggs,

produced very interesting results. In
this manner specimens Of some va

varieties found in nature. The appii-

Of moisture and dryness also produce
