Recently the press agent of Ring
ling's circus complained to the editor
of Missouri paper about the way he
had printed one of the shows notice.
"You said the boa constructor was
twenty two feet long" said the agent,
"when you knew it was thirty nine.

The report of the Dubuque county
grand jury on Friday occasioned uni
versal surprise IN the case of Miss
Della Liddy, who confessedly murder
ed her 3-weeks-old baby by pouring
carbolic acid down its throat. The
woman did not deny her guilt, but to
the utter amazement of the court and
the public, the grand jury refused to
return an indictment and the judge
was forced to liberate her. He took
occasion, however, to score the jury
for their action.

joying his cigar An old man, sane
timonious in appearance and decided
ly pious, approached him with the re-

One OF our exchanges we'll says :
Every newspaper treasures up in its
memory the names of its friends and
likewise those of it's enemies. 1t

assist the former, but it never goes
out of it's way to assist the latter.
Human nature is pretty much the
same everywhere, People who show
the newspaper man kindness never
made better investment-one that
pays a hundred fold sooner or later.
AS it has been truly said there comes
time in every mans life when he
needs his home paper and needs it
badly.

Down in Texas man was elected
constable who was not very clearly in
his habits, anu ciie democratic paper
annunoced that O'Houllihan would
wash before taking the oath of Office.
The newly elected constable rushed
into the editorial sanctum and de-
manded retraction. Imagine OHIO
ulihan's frame of mind when he read
in the next issue of the paper the fol-
lowing: SAT the request of Mr..
O'Houlihan we deny the statement
that he will wash before entering up
ON the duties of his office" Where
upon the official was madden than the
proverbial March hare, and used the
editor for target. Hard to please
some people.

stitutes and others who steal the good
name and fame of Rocky Mountain
