PAID A r OF THE BET.
Casper Lady Wore Her Gentleman
Friends Best Suit Of Clothes.

Her enthusiasm for Bryan caused a
Casper lady no small amount of EN-
barrassment last Friday night. Prior
to election she made u bet with a
gentleman friend, the conditions of
which were that if Bryan was defeat
ed she would dress in her gentleman
friends clothes and attend the dance
to be given by the successful local
candidates, and she should also stop
at one OF the stores and purchase eli
gars for herself and friend. If Nc
Kinley was defeated the gentleman
was to don the lady's clothes and at
tend the dance and buy some candy at
one of the stores.
Last Friday night was the date of
the dance and the lady was game.
She arrayed herself in her male friends
best suit of clothes and set out to pay
the bet. Everything went lovely I'M
til the couple stopped to get the ci
gars. The gentlemen is of IA slender
build, while the lady is built on the
Victorian style of architecture, so the
suit fit her rather snug.
They went into the store all right
and got the cigars, but when the lady
went to pay for them she couldn't get
her hands in her pants pockets on &c
count of the snug fit and her compan-
ian had to come to her rescue by dig
ging up the necessary amount of cash.
The couple then left the store for
the hall, and in crossing the muddy
street the lady evidently forgot her
unaccustomed attire and made a grab
for the place where her skirts should
have been. A number of gentlemen
who were standing on the Grand Cen
trail corner saw her futile effort tC

she might be reaching for a six-shoot.

the young men nearly tainted, but re.
covered enough to allow the couple tc
pass and then follow them to the
hall.
In the main door they went, and
climbed the stairs to the first landing
and this is where the lady's hear
failed her. She looked in upon the
dancers, and after hesitating "a mo
ment, she turned her face to her com
panion and said: This is where ]

Then she flew down the stairs and
made "A hotfoot for home.

&. We hope our people VIII not lose

serve. Petitions should be circulated
for the setting aside of that magnifi-
cent body of timberf for the preserva-
ton of our water supply. 1t is fast
being decimated now by both fire and

there will be nothing to save if the
destruction goes on at the present
rate. Several hupdred thousand acres
have already been taken up with

and acres have been ravaged to which
the parties committing the depreda-
tions had no shadow of title-and

ON the part of the Interior Depart
