Now as for me and mine we don't know
a blame blessed thing about the great
question of free silver. And what diff
ference does it make-whether they
turn out gold or silver or paper-to the
man that amt got no money and no
prospects to speak Of.
Only the other day heard Andrew
Lucas and ono of the Milligan boys hav.
in the dadblamdest most furious dispu.
tation in regards to gold and silver,
when both of them put together would
lack abou. four bits of havin enough
money to pay spot cash for two square
meals. They made me think Of the old
story wherein the two cats fell out and
fit about the cheese whilst the monkey
climbed up around the whole chunk.

money question and fight it out in that

Mrs. Slosson has been twice to the sum-
nit this season, spending two weeks
here early in July and nine days in An

tional species, perhaps 100 in sll. These
represent all the different orders Of i'm

moths), coeoptera (beetles). hymen-
optera (bees, wasps, ants, etc. }, diptera
(fies), neuroptera dragon hies),
kemiptera (bugs). and arachnicas
(spiders and mites). Some Of them
have been named for the mountains ON
which they were found. others for their
