A man came rushing down the street cry
ing, 'Brakey, play your function
And I'll give you silver PUNK to land
me in Grand Junction"
Now, who are your" the brakey cried,
who's making such a holler.
/ "Oh. I'm sport" the man replied, "and
here's your shining dollar.
The shops have closed, the drawing S
done. the soldiers have quit playing
Outside the door, from morn till night, a
blue-robed cop is staying;
l m getting out for some new place to
walt till it is over,
Then to come back and open up. Oh,
then I'll be in clover
Into this box car brakey cried, there
no conductor ill foller;
1 do this for your comfort and, also that
big round dollar.
While you're away the poker game up

Mike O'Meara has returned from his
trip to Washington. Not the city of
been on a visit looking at a gold mine
in which he and William are interested.
II is panning out well, but O'Meara him
self had best tell of that. 1t is related
return trip that one of the federal office
seekers at once hunted him up You
have been to Washington he asked.
Yep" said Mike; got back this even
ing
well now. look here 1 don't know
what you are after. but l am very sure
of the place | am working for, and if you
will combine with me l will appoint you
my deputy and divide the difference in
salary with you and make it even. All
l want is the honor and you can divide
with me right along. What do you say
IS it a go?'
Nit" was the response. 81 divide
with nobody. What. cut up a thing like
that. Why. man, the stuff will pay from
the grass roots. l don't want to divide
why, what do you mean about grass
roots? thought you said you had been
to Washington.
And so | have. Been to Washington
for month. Been TO Spokane and sew
eral other towns, Went to Baker City,
Or. and had a good time. But say
where are you going? What's the matter
with
And as the fellow moved away Mike
was heard to mutter: IF that chap don't
act little more civil, 1 will raise his
rent, see If L don't"
In one of the dental offices in this city,
a hypnotiSt is to be found at all hours
when the tooth foundry is open for
business. If you want a molar extracted
and HE yourself there, the proprietor
will ask you whether it is your wish to
take gas or be hypnotized. If you choose
the latter. the assistant makes a few
passes at you and presto. the surround
ings are forgotten, the tooth drawn and
you have felt no pain. 1t is getting to
be quite a fad to have ones teeth eX
tracted while in a trance.
The corner man was relating the story
to Jimmy Dickson yesterday. The con-
ductor of square sporting events was all
eagerness in an instant. Sav he ex-
claimed, where is that fellow? | want
him to hypnotic me so when l order
steak at my new boarding house | can
imagine they haven't served me with an
order OF shoe leather"
1t is understood that several of the
city officials, a few of the council, the
health commissioner, watermaster etc,
are going TO have their photographs
be issued very soon. Mulvey, Buckle
and r. P. Morris are among the FORUM
ate whose faces will go scooting down
to posterity, they having deposited the
sum of six simoleons for the half tones.
OF course there will be some expense
connected with the printing of these pic
lures outside the actual cost of the half
tones. but in the light of the good re-
suits which will follow, it would seem
that the corporation can afford it. Take
the picture of Buckle for instance, It
gaze upon it, the idea that in the year
0f our Lord 80 there were men with
intellectually stamped upon their faces:
nuivey viii carry the news to coming
generations ne that we lived wen and Morris
will impress them with the. fact that
manly beauty existed. With all this in
view, it would be almost criminal to
make objection.
Several of the convicts of the peni-
tertiary are employed in doing some
work on Capitol hill. They are hauled
to and from attired in the garb of the
prison and many have remarked that it
is a crying shame that men should be
exhibited in that manner; that the feel
hainr exposed to public gaze in this way.
At first sight it would seem somewhat
CrUel. nut on sober second thought one
is convinced that there are less chances
If. as suggested, they were robed in
overals and jumpers. it might DC an
easy matter for one or more to get away.
People would not be attracted by the
sight of a man robed as a common
walking down the street, while
the figure of a man attired in prison
stripes would at once excite attention
and arrest.
The boys around the Walker House
have been having lot of fun with
young would-be detective. tor few
days. He has detected more crime in
the past Y hours than all the police
force put together. The man who came
to examine and repair the cash register
was through him, held up to Johnny
Bechtol as a fellow who was taking the
of the same for the purpose
of robbing it later in the night: the
clerk and two Dorters who were moving
the safe We're magnified into desoeradoes
who were robbing the same Many
other indications of crime have been dis
covered by him and duly reported, to
the police. officer Shannon has been
to death with him and Chris
Lund has been summoned from remote
portions of his beat to come and make
arrests which this embryo sleuth has
discovered.
AS a matter of fact. the young fellow

had the making of a good detective in
him and they have worked him up to
such a pitch that il would be GOOD
thing for his health if his fond parents
