Farmer Johns Philosophy.

Do you suppose that 1 would trade
my appetite and health for John d.
Rockefeller's $50, 900, 900 income a
year and take his dyspepsy and lack
of health.
Not much my Mary Ann, If the
court knows itself.
Poor Rock efeller lives on crackers
and skim milk and can't even drive
his horses or sail on his yacht.
He tries to chop at a tree once in a
while but in reality he is too feeble to
enjoy life at all in it's roundness and
fullness.
If he could impound all the money
in the world in his Golfers he would
still be a man TO be pitied by the
poorest tramp that walks the road and
envied by none.
What would Farmer John take for
his appetite and health and ability to
sleep like a hog?
| don't believe that Rockefeller has
endurance enough to even milk a cow
and strip her clean.
Farmer John can sit down and look
any platter of corned beef and cab
bage right in the face and not feaze
one iota,
He don't know he's got a digestive
apparatus from one year to another.
He's got a good farm and plenty to
eat and wear, and regular income
from the COWS and garden and such,
and he don't envy all the 'yspepsy
R~ockefellers you could string from
here up to the fair grounds.

ted to the service they had before
them a career which, if faithfully and
conscientiously pursued. would en-
able them to attain positions of re-
sponsibility and fair remuneration.
Following these lines, sometimes per-
haps too closely, Jul Commissioners
have eudeavored by their questions
to ascertain if candidates were intelli-
gent and well educated but it a be
said that no questions have been asked
except in special examinations requir-
ing technical knowledge, which could
not have been answered by any intel
ligent graduate of the eighth grade.
again, there are positions, as for
instance that of clerk-copyist, for
which no particular branches of know
ledge present themselves as peculiar
1y fitting subjects for examination,
aside from the ordinary rudiments
taught in the public schools. Conse-
quently, examinations have been based
upon these branches and to men, long
since past their school days, they
have proved a hardship. OCCASIONAL
ly where special examinations have
been held for positions requiring
technical knowledge, as in the case of
engineers, biologists, chemists, etc.,
some technical question has been
singled out and made the subject for
newspaper articles representing such
as typical questions asked of candi-
dates for civil service positions.
Anyone who has had an opportun-
ity of witnessing the conduct of the
executive departments of the govern
ment under both the spoils system
and under civil service rules cannot
but appreciate that the latter have
made for the general good of the SER
vice and that the moral tone as we'll
as the executive ability of the depart
ments has shown wonderful improve
ment. In judging of the system fair
ness demands the realization that it
is still In it's infancy and that some
years are required to perfect any sys-
tenn, that no man-made system can
attain absolute perfection, and, while
every system is bound to result in
some instances of injustice to lndivid-
uals, that which results in the great
est good tc the greatest number is
what all should seek and support.

FEARFUL SPOUSES
SEEKING HUBB|ES
EPIDEMIC OF RUNAWAY MEN WHOM
THEIR WIVES WOULD LIKE
TO WELCOME HOME.

There seems to be an epidemic OF lost
husbands and lost wives said Chief of
Police James Reynolds this morning as
he handled a small circular received in
the morning mail
Now here is a woman, q Mrs. ]. ].
Bell of Imnaha, Oregon" continued the
chief who wants her missing hubby
and wants him badly She sends out
the funniest circular l ever read and it
shows the woman through and through.
Most circulars are gotten up in a plain,
business-like way, but this one is chock-
full Of sentiment"
The circular contained picture of
the missing husband and stated that a
unknown. 1t next contained a request
for any and everybody to start an i'm
mediate search for Bell and closed with
these lines:
wife is impellcd to this course, hop
ing husband may see this, realize her dis
tress and if he has any love for wife and
home, it will be to his interest and to
his advantage to return or to write at
once Trust devoted wife to make every
thing satisfactory If he will only let her
know his business and give her a chance
to help him. She will make any sacri-
fice for home and love with him; he
should know that life without him is
worthless and miserable
Chief Reynolds believes search for
the missing husband is unnecessary as
his heart will surely be melted if he
reads the circular.

HADSELL CLAIMS

TERED INTO COMBINE TO GIVE
HIM THE WORST OF IT.

w. NJ Hadsell,who is charged with forg-
ing check and passing it off on DR.. w. p.
Kelley, was to appear In Justice O'Con-
nor's court this afternoon for trial, but
asked for a continuance, pending the ar
rival of his attorney from Spokane. Had

Endorsed the check and today well-known
official in one Of the Butte banks gave it
as his opinion that the Endorsement and
the writing on the face Of the check are
the work of the same hand.
Hadsel is making an effort to be re-
leased on bonds and states that he has
friends who will put up cash. bond of
$500 for his appearance, but as he is
charged with getting away with $500 on
the check, it is not probable that he will
be released on bail of that amount.

PLAIN DRUNKS UP
BEFORE HIS HONOR
JUDGE BOYLE FINDS IT NECESSARY
TO HAND IT TO A PAIR OF
HlBERNIAN GENTS.

1t would be hard matter to find
better-hearted judge than Judge Boyle. He
is often touched by pathetic cases that
come before him, and it always pains him
to pass sentence on some unfortunate in
dividuals who are caught in the police

when court was opened this morning and
only two offenders stood at the bar of JUS
tice.
Tom ORourke was accused by Police
man Victor North Of having threatened TO
wipe out the entire neighborhood in front
of the City drug store on East Park
street. The officer stated that ORourkc
would probably have attempted to make
good his threat had it not been for his
prompt arrival on the scene.

well, Tom" replied the judge, "I'll i'm
pose the minimum fine of five dollars, as
you have good face; but III advise you
to part with whisky"
"An' by good St. Patrick, ye're roight,"
retorted Tom, as he took from his hin
pocket large flask of whisky and hurled
it out the window at the nearest telegraph
pole.
Tom OMaley pleaded guilty to plain
drunk, but as he hadn't recovered from
the effects Of the booze, he was returned
to Jail. His case will come up the first
thing in the morning.

Oevastates All in Its Path,

Cheyenne Wyo., Sept. I6.-Governor
Richards has been informed by telephone
from Grand Encampment that for many
miles on the Wyoming Colorado line north
of Pearl, Colo, furious forest fire is
raging, devastating everything in its path.
Every effort to subdue the flames has
been without avail According to latest
reports, there are at least I8 serious forest
fires burning in Wyoming, to say nothing
of number of smaller ones and brush
fires. There are three fires in Southern
Albany county that are destroying great
swaths of fine pine timber in the Medi-
cine Bow range and threatening mining
buttes.
The government sent force of fighters
under the supervisor to look after the fire
last week, but the men quit. claiming they
were underpad and the efforts to check
the flames are now confined to individuals.
Though hundred miles from Cheyenne,
the smoke from these fires obscure the
skies here and the odor of burning wood is
noticeable.
The three fires in southern Carbon
county, which the government has been
fighting for two weeks, still burn ferccly.
Three Square Miles in Flames.

men is on the ground, but are reported to
be making little progress.
Over three hundred square miles of
timber land is already in ashes. The
largest of the fires is terrific and nothing
the settlers can do has any effect on its
spread. In the southern Uinthas, fire,
small in comparison to the others, is burn
ing, and in the Jackson Hole country two
big blazes are eating the timber in the
game country.
Further east in the Shoshone reserva-
tion, fire, the magnitude of which is not
known, has been burning for weeks.
In Natrone county, good sized fire has
been destroying timber for the past few
days. A big fire threatens the timber of
the Big Horn mountains and there is no
report of any effort having been made to
check its progress.
The fire on the Grey Bull was furious
for several days, but is believed to have
spent its fury

InY ASSOCIATED PRESS /

Denver, Colo, Sept. I6.-But little pro-
gress toward checking forest frest in diff
ferent sections of the state is being made.
At the head of Chicago creek, the fire is
again beyond control. A vast scope of ter-
ritory has been burned over, and it is
feared the towns along the Clear Creek
will experience shortage of water as a
consequence, due to the fact that the fire
has destroyed the protection to the snow
beds, which were the source of water sup
ply for Clear Creek.
United States Forest Supervisor Henry
Nicholson, who is conducting the fight
against the fire in the neighborhood Of
Cassello, at the head of Platte canyon,
called upon the mining company in that
vicinity for assistance in fighting the
flames and men were dispatched with COM
plete equipment to the aid of the govern
ment. This fire has been burning for sew
eral weeks and has destroyed much valu-
able timber. Several summer resorts are
III danger.
In Estes park fires are burning slowly
but stubbornly resist all efforts of the set
tiers 10 quench them. Great clouds of
smoke hang like a pal over the mountains
and are plainly visible miles away.
The fires in the vicinity of Eldora have
destroyed an immense quantity of fine
timber. But little damage to property from
any Of the fires in this state and as yet no
loss Of life has been reported.

Lcnnox was guilty of the murder.
Martin WAS sentenced by Judge Nc
