SUMMER STORIES IN

The heaviest fall of snow in June
in Winnipeg for sixty-two years came
right along on schedule time. The
chllliest day in Buffalo since 1854 hap
pened on the day it was about due,
and that's wiped off the slate. The
hailstones as large as hens eggs have
been falling with their customary en-
thusfasm. The annual June demise of
the old lady who was patted on the
head by Lafayette when he visited th:s
country in 1924 occurred about when
1t was due the other day, and the old
est living Mason's decease has been
reported with the usual frequency this
summer.
The regular June rain of bullfrogs
occurred on time at Port Jarvis. and
Three Forks, Mich, has had it's annual
rain of horned caterp.llars even this
early. The heavy rain storm that in
undated one-half of Kansas City, while
the other half was being shone upon
by brilliant sun and remained per-
fectly dry, has executed it's regular
stunt, too, and so that ones off my
mind.
The main tent of the Western cir

the animals broke out of their cages
and ran amuck, like they always do
in similar circumstances. The hottest
day within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant hasn't butted into the cal

that, for it's liable to get along any

SIGNS OF VICTORY.

The prospects of democratic sues
cess in this state were never bright>
er than this year. The party is not
expecting tremendous pluralities. as
in the days when practically all
were united on the silver question,
but the democrats still command a
comfortable working majority large
enough for all purposes.
The republicans have nothing
new to offer with which to allure
the illing voter. There has been
some bluff at cleaning out "de
gang" by discharging Hodges.
Brady and couple of other un-
derstrappers, but being SO closely
ante-election it is safe to charge it
to political thunder. These same
people will doubtless be we'll taken
care Of in other positions directly
the election is decided. In any
event, should this cleaning out be
going on in good faith, it will serve
to turn the knives Of the most eff
cient political workers of the res
publican organization against the
nominees of their own party. Men
like Hodges, Brady ct al contro
the republican party machinery,
and they are not lambs to be
slaughtered with impunity.

ed by look in any direction. All
portions of the state have enjoyed,
and are enjoying, their best devel

REMEDY FOR LOOSE STOCK,

This matter of having the finest
lawns in the city damaged from time
to time, and often entirely ruined, by
loose horses, has become thing of too
frequent occurrence to be overlooked.
In the case of Sunday, the owner of
the ruined lawn knows whose horses
were the trespassers but the party is
irresponsible and Mr.. 10y must bear
the loss The question that men are
asking is to whom they can look for
protection. irresponsible parties
turn their stock loose to forage for
themselves, and in consequence lawns
and gardens are destroyed. If the
pound master Is unable to protect the
people of this city from these depreda-
tions, then there remains only one
thing for men to do. The shotgun
method may not be humane, but it
seems to be the only remedy which
presents itself at this time.

VAIL FROM THE SPRINGS.

Colorado Springs is to be pitied.
w. S. Stratton left somewhere near
ten million dollars with which to es-
tablish a home in Colorado Springs
for the worthy poor. And, oh. what
a wall arises from the city of new
millionaires and English faddists.
The idea of pollutipg the self-made
aristocracy of their fair city by the
presence of anything approaching in
digence is so repulsive to the inhabi-
tants, that Springs penny-liner for
the Denver News felt called upon to
express in no uncertain words the hor-
ror with which that particular be-
quest in Mr.. Stratton Is will is receiv
ed. Here is what His Niblets said in
yesterdays News:
while the people of Colorado
Springs naturally are relcutant to seem
to criticise such an extraordinary act
of benevoience as the late Winfield
Scott Stations proposed establishment
of home for the worthy poor, it is
the almost unanimous hope that the
provisions of the will in that respect
never will be carried out.
''Shou,d Mr.. Stratton's son make
no effort to break the will and the
executors and trustees be left free to
carry out its provisions it is highly
probable that an organization of citi-
zens will be- forced to contest the will
in the courts on the ground that the
home for the poor would be contrary
to public policy.
Assuming that $40, 900, 600 w4re
realized for the use of the home that
amount at 4 per cent interest would
yield $40O, 600 year. which would
support not to exceed l.50O persons.
1t is felt that when the news of the
establishment of the home had been
spread broadcast over the country tens
il not hundreds of thousands of help
less poor would be shipped to this
county from the aims houses and poor
houses of half the states and that an
other army would come of their own
volition or with the help of their
friends in the hope of procuring ad-
mission 10 the home and support for
the remainder of their lives. AS OH
ly a small fraction of those desiring
admission could by any possibility
obtain it the others would be "a charge
on Ell Paso county or would have to
be sent to Denevr or some other city
at the public expense. In addition
untold hardships would be suffered by
unsuccessful applicants. The influx
OF the crippled and the suffering pro-
badly would be 80 immense as to pro-
duce such scenes of human suffering
as never have been equaled in the
worlds history
Now wouldn't that give one a feel
