complete writeups of Lewistown and
Fergus county was that contained III

city editor of that paper, Mr.. Charles
Shearor. who visited Lewistown some
Two weeks ago. Fully five pages arc
devoted to illustrations. interviews

are marshaled in such a way as Ia
make most interesting reading. The
halftonc illustrations are excellent,
considering the quality Of paper used
by the daily press and the hurry al
ways incident to such productions
The Record is to be congratulated up
on its effort and 1t is hoped that the

The Democratic press is still shed
ding crocodile tears over the dis
memberment" of the pretended repub'
lie of Colombia, Time was when this
same press was not so solicitous over
the fate of a genuine republic. While
parading itself as a republic the Co.
lombian government is little less than
a corrupt and venal d~espotism. On
this point the Minneapolis Tribune
says: Panama. instead OF being a
part OF a free. s~elf-governing commun'
ity, is n subject province of a con
tinually changing military dictator

tlon OF Europe has connived. than a

found the sheriff of an Alabama
town sitting under a shade tree near
the postofiiee and after an introduction
and some general conversation the tall
fell upon negro who had stabbed a
man in town that day and escaped to
the swamps.
The official was telling how he
was planning to go about next day
after the man, when negro boy came
up and, addressing him by his title,
said he wanted to speak to him.
Don't you know better than to in
terrupt me. JoeT exclaimed the
sheriff and after growl or two re-
sumed his talk.
The boy retreated in confusion, but
five minutes later he reappeared to
say:
Mars Green, l dun want to speak
to YOU"
You here again. shouted the
sheriff Take yourself off and I'll
teach you manners later on"
The boy disappeared. but the story
was not half ended when he returned
and eXcitedly stammered:
Mars Green, if you don't come
| away"
Hang it. boy, but what do you
mean?' Numbered the sheriff as he
half rose.
His attitude was so menacing that
the boy fell over himself to get away
and ran across the street. We noticed
him standing there for the next ten
minutes, but it was only when the
story was finished that he slowly cross
ed back and said:
MARS Green, ken l speak to you
now?'
THAT you, Joe. What is it?"
"I'ze bin waitin' to tell you bout
de Jail, sah."
"Well, what about the Jail? You
should know better than to interrupt
gentleman"
"But all the prisoners dun got away
half an hour ago, sab. l wanted to
tell you, but you"
The sheriff was off like a wild loco
motive. but he was too late. His seven
prisoners had filed the bars and gone
out by the window"
