South Side.
Breathes there a man with soul
80 dead that hasn't got a cold in
his head?
A cow has many good qualities,
but she is too modest to blow her
own horn.
A heavy sleet fell last Tuesday
night, doing considerable damage
to shade and fruit trees.
The man who truly loves a woman
will sometimes give up tobacco and
whisky for three weeks after they
are married.
Those who are returning from
the klondike country do not choose
Christian-like words in describing
that land as the most able bodied
fake ever sprung upon the world.
A neighbor asks: do clocks get
tiredT Some of the Sunday nighs
scenes they are compelled to wit
ness in the parlor when the lights
are turned away down below zero
would make most anything tired.
A well-posted man of our neigh
borhood says that newspaper and
newspaper editor that people
don't talk about and sometimes
abuse are rather poor concerns.
And there is much truth in tbs
saying.
"A Salt Lick woman who watches
her daughter very closely and never
let's her have a good time never
tires of telling what times she
used to have when she was a girl,
No wonder she watches her daugh-
ter, and no wonder the girl needs
watching.
THE DUDE.
He's the highest type Of fashion
From his collar to his toes;
There's most artistic passion
In the way he wears his clothes;
How his tie his taste expresses;
How that nobby suit he fills.
And how faultlessly he dresses
But he never pays his bills.
An English physician says: "a
boy who early smokes is rsrely
known to make u man of much en-
ergy OF character, and be generally
lacks physical and muscular, as
well as mental, energy. I would
particularly warn boys who want
to rise in the world to shun tobacco
and whisky as deadly poison"
The ethics of business and gamb-
ling are just alike. A man who
engages in business puts up his
money or credit and risks it in
game in which the chances are 95
in a possible 100 that he fails. The
gambler with cards, dice or other
device, does the same thing, only
the chances of his losing are abous
equal If it is fair game. Aad
some men are opposed to gambling.
"a cigarette is roll of paper,
tobacco and drugs, with a small
fire at one end and large fool at
the other" Some of its chief en-
joyments are condensed nightmare.
fits, cancer of the lips and the
stomach, spinal meningitis, soften
ing of the brain, funeral process
cessiOns and families shrouded in
gloom. There are plenty of sub
jects left, however, who are per-
feetly willing to undergo trials of
such-s trivial nature for tine sake

The question now agitating the
people is. Is the war overi and has
Spain really accepted our PROPOSE
ton? For our part we don't see
why it was ever begun. Before war
was declared our fighting bullies
called Mckinley a coward, and now
the same class are abusing him for
being so fast and putting Uncle
Sam to such an expense. Anyway,

and the money expended for every
devilish Spaniard, queen and all.
do really think that while the boys
were at it they should have given
Germany and France a touch of
high life.
In regard to piece in week be-
fore lasts issue, / wish to say that
there is a young lady in u neigh
boring town VINO has not received a
letter in three months, but who
appears at the postoffice three times
daily with perfect regularity. We
think that something should be
done to break up the postoffice
habit, and the suggestion is a good
one. People who never put in time
working behind postoffice win
dow have little conception Of what
this habit amounts to. Any post
master will testify that among the
most regular callers at the window
are persons who never write letters,
never receive any. and who have
no reason for thinking they should
ever receive any either.
