I'm suceso grave, que puede dar

que fue ron puestcs en- libertad por

Estimamos que los puestos de

En- los pueblos hay polic1a mu
nicipsl y la colectividad Sc defende
ria en- case necssario; pero en- los
campos es distinto, puesto que los
vecinos establecidos distancias cor
siderables, no pueden prestarse su
xilios cuxndo son ataeados.
Ahora que van a reunirse las

A STAG" PARTY.

Now ladies, don't laugh, when
we chronicle one of the most
pleasurable events of the season,
where there was not a member of
the tender sex about, and where
jollity and good cheer permeated
the atmosphere and warmed the
hearts of the guests to a better,
more neighborly feeling between
man and man. The party in
question was given by that big
hearted stock man and farmer,
Walter B. Cornell, at his resi-
dence in the west part of town,
Saturday evening, the 10th, the
occasion being the 51st anniver-
sal.y of Mr.. Cornell's birthday.
Upwards of fifty guests were
present, comprising many of our
prominent citizens-from the
young man with his first vote to
the grandfather. The evening
was spent in music and song,
story telling and-yes, ladies'
dancing. The host had pro-
vided great loads of eatables and
drinkables, and as every man
felt that the house and all the
contents thereof was the same as
his own, the freedom with which
each man, without exception,
"turned himself loose was a
lung-testing and mirth-provok-
ing testimony to the free-hearted
spirit of the Westerner- and the
hospitality of the host. May
Walt. live to enjoy many more
returns OF the day is the COM
bined wish of his friends.

In other parts of the county
the farmers are complaining of
it's being too dry to plow, but it

will be ready to SOW their usual

FIFTY YEARS Welded.

On Saturday OF this week, Aug
ust 18th, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Hood of this city will celebrate
their 5Oth wedding anniversary.
Fifty years of welded filicity;
fifty years of ups and downs of
life, of hopes and fears, of joys
and sorrows, smiles and tears.
But in the case of Uncle Billy
and Aunt Nancy the smiles have
largely outnumbered the tears,
the joys have happily overbal-
anced the sorrows, and the hale
and hearty old couple are as
jovial as ever and as full of the
milk of human kindness as when,
a half a hundred years ago, on
that bright August day, they
plighted their VOWS and resolved
to cling unto each other until
death does them part. A large
family OF healthy, lusty boys has
been reared by them, and the
long season Of their connubial
probation has been a lifetime OF
pleasure to each. This commu-
nifty will join with the DEMOCRAT
in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Hood
many more happy returns of the
day.

HERE AND THERE.

A Canadian traded his wife for
a dog, traded the dog for a shot
gun, traded the shotgun for a
keg of apple brandy and died OF
delirium tremens.
A Kansas minister told his
congregation that those who
were in debt need not place any
thing in the box. The collection
was double the usual amount.
81 notice Mr.. B. buys his ink
by the Jug" said one Kansas
man to another. "Yet, his wife
thought SO, too," said the other,
"unJil she went to fill the ink we'll,
when she found it was not ink by
a jugfull.
An editor printed an item which
stated that ''the man who was
hugging the hired girl had better
stop it or his name would be
published" In a few days about
25 citizens paid up their sub
scriptions and told the editor to
pay no attention to foolish
stories going around.
A young man asked an old
wealthy doctor how to get rich
and the doctor said: "Get sit
uation, work all the time, spend
no money for pleasure, hang on
to every nickle, and by the time
you are as old as [ am you will
be as rich as a king and as mean
as hell"
Central Kansas is complaining
Of a horse famine. The farmers
have been too ready to sell their
horses to English army purchas-
ing agents, and now the farmers
are compelled to pay from $125
to $40 for animals that a year
and a half ago found no pur-
chasers at $75.
'sIn climate where a man can
lie in a hammock, pick a banana
with one hand and dig a sweet
potato with one foot, the incen-
tive to idleness is easy, and it's
debilitating consequences in
evitable." This, says Gov. Allen,
is sufficient explanation why
Porto Rico has for four centuries
been practically at a standstill.
There will be a town in the new
country where no property is to
be owned by men and where no
man will be allowed to engage in
business. It's to be a woman's
town. Those at the head of the
movement want to see if town
cannot be run without a drop of
liquor being sold. The town
might get along withot the liquor
but it remains to be seen whether
it can be made to go without
men.
An exchange says: "One OF
the loving husbands of this city,
who had exhausted all the ex-
plantations for late hours and
had no apologies ready, simply
slipped into the house about /
o'clock, undressed himself and
began rocking the cradle by the
bedside as if he had been awak-
ened from a sound sleep by in
FAINT cries. He had rocked the
