Ra,i.e Denial,

Everybody knows the man who Is
careful never to say mo" abruptly In
answer to question. NO is a hard
word, but one may sometimes be made
ridiculous by a reluctance TO utter It,

A certain man who had this habit
was once met by two ladies who had
been discussing the popularity. and one
Of them said that she was positive she
could make him say "Oh, mol" fatty.
So she addressed him thus:
"Let me see. Mr.. Smith; you are a
widower, are you not?"
"As much a widower, madam" he
answered, with polite inclination of
his head, "as 1t is possible for a man to
be who has never married"
The lady had to own herself beaten

1t may be doubted If 1t Is within the

current Of the worlds affairs. but there
is scarcely any one who will contend
that civilization would not advance. the

Fresh Air and sound Health.

There are many persons who seem
afraid of the fresh air. A little rain,
little wind, a little fog, little chill in
the air viii keep them within doors.
Going out, they bundle up in clothes so
thickly that one would think they were
tender shrubs transplanted from some
more genial CLINE. The healthy people,
however, are not the health cranks, not
the people who run to the doctor every
time they feel an ache. They are the
people who walk great deal in the
fresh air, who live in the open as much
as they can and who take vacation in
the country every year. San Francisco

In this territory, of this the Mar-Del-
Mobile Company is convinced, and they
feel that the Cadillac will make its way
throughout this territory as it has in 9TH
ers. To this they invite all interested in
the subject to write them fully as to what
they seek in machine. There are three
machines they handle, each one the best
in it's class. You've heard of the Search:
mont and the Waverly Electrics, but
probably have heard the Cadillac's name
more frequently. Now the Cadillac is
the best for all around purposes, and the
man who buys one will not 60 wrong. It
costs $3.50, more money than you carry
around in your pocket, but an amount
that most men can cover. But if you're 4

mend that the same be moved back to a
small building, the "red house" adjacent
and thus lessen the danger of fire and re
suit in convenience to those in charge
The water supply, we regret to say, we
deem barely sufficient for ordinary Gull
nary and toilet purposes, the pump being
at present out of order and the water there
at present being IS inches, which, we are
informed, is about the average during the
year. We earnestly recommend that the
lack be supplied by cistern or some other
approved means that will render it posi-
BILE that fire at its inception might be
quenched, but which, without such means,
we think, would inevitably result in a
total loss of the buildings and probably
the lives of the inmates. There is col
ored man among the inmates, Addison
Carter by name, to whom we call special
attention, being, in our Judgment, fit
subject for a jury of anquirendo, in fact,
we deem him hopelessly insane.
We regret to say that practice prevails
among the inmates of the institution OF
clandestinely absenting themselves from
the premises; on some occasions being
enticed therefrom by parties unknown in
the hope of receiving the reward for their
return. One case of which occurred dur
ing our visitation, the party being in a
state of beastly intoxication and so ex-
hausted from exposure to the storm of the
previous night as to require immediate
and persistent effort to revive him; and
being thus deprived for considerable
time of the assistance of the keeper, we
were much retarded in our investigation.
We cannot too highly commend Mr..
Beall, the keeper, and his wife tor the
faithful manner in which they have dis
charged their duties, onerous as they are,
for which, we beg to say, the pay at pres
ent is incommensurate.
In conclusion, we ask your Honor's at
tention to those who, in defiance of the
statute prohibiting the same, sell or give
intoxicants to the inmates and that you
enjoin those, whose duty it is, to bring to
speedy punishment those who violate the
law in this particular. All of which is re-
specially submitted.
