The only way to got something for
nothing is to steal it. 1t is useless to
buck games where something is offered
for nothing. The tables usually turn
and the would-be purchaser gets moth
ing for something. Something for
nothing is not the way business is tran
sacted. If the man who wants to get
something for nothing would only stop
to think, he is not going to give some
thing of his production for nothing,
and in this respect the man who has a
fake is like him. "Snaps'' are popular
as a bait for suckers"
A well-known hunter wore a white
shirt over his clothing while deer hunt

ever mistake him for deer. He had
not been out in the woods half an hour,
when a bullet cut the twigs within a
few inches of his head. He yelled, and
the man who fired the shot, rushed up
to him exclaiming: "Gol durn it, [
thought you was one of them ere white
deer I've read about" What the fell
low with the white shirt on said is I'M
rintable.-Antigo Journal.

Workhouse. The extreme penalty for
otfense is three years, and the leniency
shown in the case cited is supposed to
be due to the tact that it is the first
conviction The punishment can
hardly be too severe to fit the crime.
Every city has it's cases of dutiful wives
and helpless children eliberately aban-
doned by cravens for whom in every
truth the lash is scarcely too drastic.
