A Websterlte wants to know what
our opinion is of these moonlig hit
nights. Our good friend from Web
ster should know that people don't
have opinions on moonlight nights.
Those nights we're made for lovers,
not thinkers. 1t is reasonable to
judge from the actions of the average
lover that they have no thoughts.
That could be proven further by the
bad contracts 50 many Of them make.
Moonlight nights are all right for
star light clubs and love struck
people. but for IT'S who have to hustle
twenty-one out of twenty-four hours
to give the people the best paper in
the state, moonlight nights are but
ordinary times. Bnt say, we are
coming out to Webster and becoming
sentimental sometimes, just to see
how the disease effects you.

Then it was great fun. we were
young then. Boys and girls met in

were played on friends, but never
none that wounded the feelings, and.
there was no vicious destruction Of
property, and nobody feared the
police officer the next day. Girls
walked round the block three times
with their mouth filed with water and
the first man they meet on the third

Passing a millinery store the other
day, we saw a lady selecting a hat.
This is for men, not for ladies. But
the difference in the methods pursued
by the two sexes in selecting this
article Of adornment is a fair illustra-
tion Of the difference between these
same sexes that has been so conspicuous
since Eve made a fool of Adam. A
woman will try on about twenty
pieces of headgear, adjusts her hair,
looks at herself in the glass and takes
the offending article off. Finally she
gets one that suits and she smiles an
angelic smile--a natural one-and
asks the price. The thing has pleased
her, but she can't tell why anymore
than that she looks good under it. Now
watch a man. He see saws worse than
a man selling a fifty dollar horse for
two hundred, pretends to examine the
quality, about which be really knows
nothing about, and before he tries the
thing out, will ask the price. A
woman asks the price after she buys,
a man before. The man pays it and
thinks he S smart because he i%nquir-
ed first, but he would have paid it jrst
the same. A man looks wise and
acts foolish. A woman looks foolish
and acts wise.

"Thanksgiving is approaching and

wilderness, alter living through a

"Talk about bad goods sold by box
car merchants said a gentleman.
"You don't know anything about it.
I made a fool Of myself and gave a
swindler an order sometime ago, and
among the articles we're three pounds
of tea. The stuff came, and that tea
was something fearful. By a careful
separation of the leaves, we found
sage. catnip and cabbage leaves.
The whole was colored with some sort
of q chemical tnat gave the water in
which the stuff was boiled a greenish
tinge. We found four kinds of meat
in our homeless ham. The acid in
the canned tomatoes made me sick.
Well, I am not buying from that class

many years." remarked a gentleman
the other day. but 81 have never
seen such weather as we are now en-,
joying, with the exception Of one
year." That seems to be the opinjc
of everybody who has ever spent any
time in the state. The mo IN

bracer-not the kind they use in Ken
tucky-but a real health giving
tonic, that makes YOU glad you live

reason a portion of their first bounti-
full crop. Well, that first New Eng.
land Thanksgiving dinner would look
like an Arkansas negro hut by the
side of Vanderbilt's famous Newport
balance when compared with the
tempting display of first stage doctor
bills that is spread OH the average
American table. The old New Eng
land mother baked a few pumpkin
pies, killed the fatted turkey, baked a
few loaves Of salt rising bread and the
dinner was ready. Now we have the
turkey, the mince pie, the cranberries,
the celery and forty other things and
for two weeks before the event the
doctors smile in anticipation Of the
assured rise in prices.

'Men who-build such buildings as

gentleman the other day as he stood
looking at the new block constructed
by Judge Bren nan. HE expects to
make money out Of it, Of curse. but
the men who are not afraid of a short
crop, and are willing to invest their
money in u n substantial things are
the ones who make a good town

thing we have heard for a long time.
1t is a notorious fact that the f.l.J%
who il never doing anything for his
town is the one who is eternally
standing on dis rights as a tax payer
and always braggiug about how good
other towns are. The eternal pity is
that he does not go to those prosper
GUS places.

"What are you going to give to the
bazar'' asked a gentleman the other
day. Well we don't know. Can't
find anything of very much impor-
iance to give We can give lots Of ad-
vice bat u fortunately that does not
have a yer ready market just now.
There is but one thing we could
contribute and that is our picture.
If that were put up at public Il
ton it might bring a good price to be
used as a scare crow-or that young
lady who got offended at our refer
ence to our good looks might purchase
the picture on the plan of the girl
marrying a worthless man to get rid
of him. But this is an after though
ard may not be popular. At any rate
those who are more fortunate than
ourselves should give abundantly Of
what they have to make the bazaar a
success. The hospita4 should succeed.
1t is like a doctor-an indication of
trouble but when the trouble comes it
is a sort of city of refuge which may
be resorted to get the pest out of a bad
condition.

reina la prosperidad, cuandO este
es completamente falso. FL pals
esta en- ruina, como podr1a demos
trarlo, pues tengo pruebas irrefu-

SO hallan los comerciantes, agri-
