THE SHIPMENT OF PAUPERS,

The board OF commissioners Of this
county has taken wise action in the
matter of the shipment OF paupFrs from
one county to another within the boun>
daries Of this state. It has become nois.
ed abroad that it is a very easy matter
for deadbeats to impose upon the gem
erous western spiri, by throwing them,
selves upon the charity of county boards
and thus working their passage out OF
the people. The practice has become in,
tolerabie. People OF all ages. both male
and female and in all conditions
of destitution. nave been com.
ing along thick and fast during the past
year and 1t is considered time to call a
halt. 1t has been the cus.om for Lara
mic county to ship the INDECENT people
who come in from Nebraska and Colo
RADIO over the hill Ca short haul). for AL
bany county to ship them to Rawlins
and for Rawlins to ship them west to
some other county. Aibany's board has
resolved upon a strict enforcement OF
the law and has so notified all the other
boards Of the state. Under the law it is
necessary that a person shall be a resi-
dent OF a county 90 days before they are
entitled to any relief, unless in case of
sickness. and it is made a penalty by the
statutes for one county to send its paup-
ers into another county. The only pro-
vision for the transportation Of paupers
requires that they be sent clear beyond
the limits OF the state. Hereafter, If
paupers are sent here from Laramie
county. or Carbon county. or any other
county of this state. they will be prompts
ly shipped back to the county sending
them.
In other words, It is the purpose OF the
Albany county board TO act strictly with
In the limits Of the law.

READING THE SIGNS.
The Professional Man Correctly Guessed
That the Driver Was a Woman.

Az East End professional man was
wife a few mornings ago when his at
-enticn was attracted in an unpleasant
way by the antics OF a covered wagon
IN front OF him. The wagon had the
sides and back walled in by stout can,
vas, and the driver was completely hid
den from the professional mans view.
The latter had his attention attracted
to he vehicle in an unpleasant way be,
when ne attempted to hurry past
it the unknown driver at once turned
IN toward the curb, and had the protes.
sional mar in a pocket in short order.
II the latter's horse hadn't been a steady
animal he would have lost a wheel al
least. Then the East Ender pulled out
and drove up to the other side OF the
street, intending to dart by at the first
opportunity. but he was soiled again,
The covered wagon hustled across the
roadway and again headed him off. Sew.
eral times he tried to get by, but didn',
dare to take the risk. The mysterious
vehicle zigzagged right and left in the
most eccentric manner.
THAT driver must be intoxicated, y
said the professional mans wife.
The professional man laughed.
NO" he said, The explanation is q
simple one. The driver is a woman"
How do you know" demanded the
wife. Indignantly.
BY the style OF driving"
Nonsense" said the wife.
We'll" said the professional man, "'
haven't caught the smallest glimpse o
the eccentric person, but I'll wager yol
a dollar that a woman is driving ;ha
horse"
IT'S a mean SANDER" said the wife
and l don't believe a word OF It,"
wait and see." said the husband
They reached Bond street before the,
FELT 1t safe to pass the covered wagon
At the corner OF that ~thoroughfare the,
finally went ahead. The mysteriou.
wagon turned in behind them, and ther
the professional man and his wife turn
ed and looked back.

rapidly that ambitious empire is going

cause the revenues of the country have
bee. reduced equally with the business
of the country by adopting the gold
standard. India had no difficulty in
paying s0,000,0O0 of gold interest in
London until she dcmonetized silver in
1893, since which time she has been go
ing with great rapidity to what the
boys call the "demnition bow vows"
ard borrowing money every year to
defray her ordinary expenses.
few weeks ago we were informed
that Japan's revenues were $4,000, 600
yens short this year. This was an un-
dcrcstimatc. 1t appears by the dis
