THE ROUNDETf.

Grief and woe has fallen to the Io5 Of
The Rounder. He is tloundering IN a
melancholy deep enough to swim in It
was caused by that letter in the AcANTHA
from the lnayor OF Utopia. When le
read it he threw his arms around he
barteader's neck and cried until tlo SAL
tears trickling down the bartander's
back caused him to break loose aud get
up against the door jamb to scratch I5I
is base ingratitude on the part of she
mayor to thus publicly maliga tins CHAR
acter OF faithful sarVitor. Il mgn- be
jealousy on his part and jealousy IS
the outcome OF love. Yes! guess that is
it. The mayor loves the RoGn3er SO
that he hates him, or something like that
Part of the Rounder's business over 10
Choteau was to get permit from the
forest ranger to extend the limits OF
Utop, a, and as soon as his back vas
turned the mayor rushed into Dupuyer
with a letter for publication. When the
ROunder left he took part Of the type
writer with him and that was what
caused tle mistakes IN the letter. The
unl1iraest cut Of all was when he ac-
cused the Rounder OF doing any kind OF
work, and besides to speak about bath!
Everyone knows that the Rounder is just
as lazy and nearly as dirty as any Cree
that ever slapped moccasin on the
Of TTtn AvnaslT n Thn
mayor himself just to think Of the
great number of hall starved, lazy, lousy
citizens that the Rounder has been in
strumental in bringing to Utopia and
then to be served in that manner b. the
mayor. But he is OF d forgiying di3pos.-
tion and if he can get his hands On IA
quart of alcohol he will return to Utopia
and patch up a peace that will Ee as well
grounded and as lastiAg as a Cra9's pro
pensity to steal.
Choteau and the people in it are vrry
well, thank you. Tnere IS greater
variety 0. morning eye-openers ana
night caps than in Dupuyer and when
fellow is fired out OF one place he can
jus; step across the street and abuse
that landlord to another and it works al
right There are too many Irish here
| though A few Irish scattered through
a population of other nation; ties where
they can be occupied fl ghting their nat
ural enemies makes things run smooth,
but when they have to fight among
! themselves the thing becomes monoton-
GUS Besides it makes division in their
politics and there never was Il republican
! Irishman or democratic Dutchman
but deserved to hung, But the Irish
men VINO pretend to be candidates.. f +
the gallows here are not to Elame, for
they must be opposed to something.
They are talking OF organizing branch
| of tie Clan Gael and running the
9wedes off the bench. The only; objec-
] ton to this is that none of the Irish can
! be found who viii work the farms when
! the Swedes are gone. By the way, as
soon as the weather gets warm the
Rounder is going out to that bench to
recuperate ON L ew milk and ranch eggs
and expand his lungs wi inhaations
OF clover scented winds, SO as to be ready
J for the. campaign.

The Editor Of the Teton Chronic

Who, pray, is this, who is so wise
In his own, not Others eyes,
Wac els his She with spiteful lies?
The editor of the Chronic
Who wears a shiny standing collar,
And apes the gentleman and scholar.
Whose thin k ng tank is full OF taller

Who cuts a journalistic swath
OF news effete, the aftermath.

And hurled at us his au revoir,

A MARROW ESCAPE.
John Shockley Fell Twenty Feet to tn
Frozen Ground Yesterday.

Frozen Ground Yesterday.
From fridays Daily.
John Shockley, the driver at the
South Side fire station, was badly
shaken up yesterday afternoon, occas-
toned by fall from an icy telephone
pole, near the old starch mill. Mr..
Shockley, altho the driver for the
South Side department, is lineman as
well, and was helping to straighten out
the tangle of wires which resulted from
night. While at the top of twenty
foot pole carrying the wires of the
fire department, Mr.. Shockley fastened
his safety appliance around the pole,
as he thought, securely. Instead he
had only partially fastened the snap
on one end of the safety strap into the
ring in his belt, and when he threw his
weight on it, the snap became unfast-
ened and Mr, Shockley fell to the
frozen ground. Fortunately he fell up
on his feet and rolled over, stopping
near the edge of the City Water Supply
company's race. He was conveyed to
the office of the water company. DIR. A.
0. Williams was called to attend to his
injuries and found him suffering from
a badly sprained leg, which is now
swollen from the toe to the hip. There
are also some commissions on one of his
shoulders, but there are no internal
injuries. Mr.. Shockley, after being
cared for by the physician, was con
veyed to the home of his mother, Mrs.
A. Meillkey, No. EOS North Moore street.
1t is expected that he will be confined
to the house for a month.

To BE Prepared

For war is the surest way for the ma
ton to maintain peace. That is the
opinion of the wisest statesmen. 1t is
equally true that to be prepared for
spring lis. the best way to avoid the pc
culiar dangers of the season. This is
a lesson multitudes are learning,
and at this time, when the blood is
sure to be. loaded. With impurities and
to be weak and sluggish, the millions
begin to take Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which purifies, enriches and vitalizes
the blood, eNpels all disease germs,
creates good appetite, gives strength
and energy and puts the whole system
in healthy condition, preventing
pneumonia, fevers, and other danger
Gus diseases which are liable to attack
a weakened system.
