An editor in neighbor'ng town
having noticed whenever a mer
chant wanted a hundred hand bills
he went around to the different
printing Offices aud secured bids
for the same, concluded that If II
was a good thing for the merchant
il ou. ht to work all right for the
printer. Accordingly when his
oldest heir became in need OF a
pair OF shoes he sent around to the
different stores and asked for bids
on the same. The merchant made
all sorts Of fun Of the editor, but
for the life OF him he could not see
the difference between getting bids

The great American bird, the
eagle. will have 10 crawl in his hole
next week. Thanksgiving is once
more upon us. and the turkey will
be 1T. Prof. Thompson, of the
United States Agricultural Depart
nent, has been sssociating much
with hens OF late, and he is of the
opinion that neither the eagle nor
the turkey is IN Il with the great
American hen. The hens OF
America produce more each year
in dollars and cents than all the
gold and silver mines OF the coun-
try combined, and If the value oil
the hens be added, the aggregate
is twice the annual yield OF all the
gold and silver mines of the
country combined. Buy coal and
hens in the good old summer time
and get rich IN the winter.

The coal situation in La Junta
is not so worse. The pump house
has enough coal on hand TO assure
a water supply tor at least thirty
days, and the electric light plant
enough to run for ninety days il

Twenty five per cent OF the people
OF La Junta have enough coal
stored to keep warm until next
spring, and Matt Daimler has
enough coal on hand to keep most
OF the people OF the burg from
freezing tor a month or more. The
coal problem with the Santa Fe is
becoming serious. One OF the
switch engines in the local Yards
was taken off Thursday in order to
save few pounds OF coal. Most
OF the coal stored here belongs to
the Colorado division, but the
western division is about all in on

There was notable gathering
OF eleven old ladies IN Skaneateles,
New York, recently, the mother
and mother-in-law of A g. Bent.
ley. OF this city, being among those
present. The ages OF the old
ladies aggregated 7o2 years, an
average OF nearly seventy seven
years. Only two OF the party were
under eighty years OF age. and nine
were past four score. IL would be
an education TO a young person to
listen to the "reminiscences OF these
old ladies. Four score wears ago
ames Monroe was president, and
the "Monroe do :trine," for which
foreign nations now have such a

legal holiday by vote of the Massa-

served being February %, 1867. Prior
to that time his birthday was only OBJ

fact that it has remained before the
public continually since that time is
positive proof that it is founded on
true merit. There is also positive
