WHERE DoEsoURK KICK COME IN
Prosperous Ranchmen Make Us Pay
High for Butter n Eggs, But
They are much more Liberal in
Their Patronage of This
Paper than when Times
Were Dull.

The writer went into one Of the
stores in town the other day to
buy some ranch butter and WAS told
that it was worth 35 cents per
pound, and that the ranchmen
would not bring napound for less
money. We then tried to buy
some eggs, but the clerk said there
were but very few in the market
and that they also we're worth 30
cents.
We went out and stood on the
orner and complained. "These
cussed ranchmen are getting
wealthy by the ris" in the prices
of meat and their produce, caused
by the good times that have come
TO this country and now WE poor
town people have to pay big
prices or we stand no show
While we We're making our
plant, a r%anchman came along
He looked fat and sassy. He
listened to our tale of woe for a
time and then wanted to know
what we were going to do about
it?' He started to go, when
suddenly recollecting himself
he turned and pulling out a ten
dollar bill said: Say, | came very
near forgetting Here's my sub
scription for a year in advance on
The Sun and | want you to send it
to my father back in Michigan
here's his understand don't you
forget to mention in your paper
what the prices of eggs, butter and
meat are in this country. 1t will
make him open his eyes for but
ter is above 10 cents per
pound there and eggs average s
and 10 cents. Just get me up
another batch of letter heads and
envelops too, for I'm about out"
We took the money and went
in and bought some of that same
ranchman's 30 cent butter and
and eggs and took them home.
But the complexion of things had
somehow changed and We didn't
care how high butter and eggs
got, Just so we had the money to
buy them. Since then we have
been wondering where our kick
comes in-providing we have any
kick coming.

Until the end of time there will
be children, and so long as there
are children they will continue
to say bright and interesting
things.
Very recently the parents of a
a bright little boy of three took
him on a visit east. His father
being a minister. he had formed
an idea of the location of heaven
rather early in life. One day,
when they entered an elevator and
he felt himself being carried swift
ly upward, where, he knew not, he
grasped his mothers skirts and
hurriedly whispered the question,
Are we going up to God?"
Another small man in this town
was recently being put to bed by
his mother at the time when all
small men should be put to bed,
but he protested and filed demur-
rer after demurrer, only to have
all his motions for a continuance
and a re-hearing peremptorially
over-ruled. He finally subsidized
under the covers sobbing discon-
s%olately, but presently emerged and
delivered this parting shot at his
mother, Il wish | had never met

The following good one is told
of a boy who had arrived at the

sent forth, led his sister TO mag

ed HIM that itwould be far cheaper
if he were to buy his cabbage by

 There is no time of the year when the Httles of the toilette are as much appre- ciated as now. Daintiness and freshness are the keynote of all good costumes. A woman cannot do better than provide her. self with cravats of all varieties and as large as possible so that she may conceal the ravages which the season has made in the color and texture of her frail summer dresses.
 AN ENGLISH DESIGN.
 I saw at the exposition grounds the other day in company with adame Carnot and a number of other ladies who were invited for first inspection, very attractive English walking hat which had been made summery by woman's devices. All the attractions which had adorned 1t during the early part of the year had been re- moved, and at one side there stood a big ornament of black velvet wired into a de- lightful openwork pattern. The other side of the hat was simply wound with very thin embroidered muslin, which was tied at the back with a big bow of en- broidery. This midsummer hat and the tour de cou must correspond. A tour de cou, made of a double box plait of the new pineapple material, was secured around the neck with dog collar of bead ed ribbon. At the front there was a very large triple puff of the pineapple material
 The hat was set exactly on one side Ia Lady Curzon, and was trimmed under the brim with big punches of flowers.
 unique and pretty feature was intro- duced with the flower trimmings. Three narrow pieces of velvet ribbon were se- cured under the hat brim with the flowers, and were carried under the brim so as to mingle with the trimming of the hat. The hat itself was trimmed with fraise velvet, breast shape at the front; and, from the

softest material to make these hat strings. All of the midsummer hats, no matter what shape, have tulle strings, and many of them, have velvet strings also. The gown may be cut little low in the throat and the thick mass of tulle wound around the neck closes it and makes the costume seem complete.
 THE CHIFFON SCARF.
 There Is chiffon scarf which is very fashionable and very voluminous also. The chiffon Is sewed at the back of picture hat. It Is brought forward in two big streamers and tied little at one side. The ends of the scarf fall to the ground.
 Women who have worn their hats con- siderably and who find the luster of spring all gone. would do well to adopt the streamer style, for 1t Is becoming to every face. Of course, 1t cannot be worn with @ small hat nor with & severely plain one; but large trimmed hat can always he decorated with strings of tulle put on In one way or another.
