clothed with authority TO go into every

very simple rule. which Is that the calf
belongs to the COW that claims II, and
consequently 70 the concern whose

taught the cattlemen that the calf may

COW it's offspring never. OF course. In

OUR JOSHUA.

In olden times there was a Joshua
who. IL is asserted, commanded the
sun to stand still while he settled a
rough house disturbance with the hea-
then who were trying TO knock him
out OF the job of bossing the several
wards of Jerusalem and the adjacent
precincts In that vicinity The chron-
icler OF that event asserts that both
the sun and moon stopped while
Joshua was carving his enemies. This
has been a mooted question for cen
turtles, but thers Is no doubt that
Joshua carried the caucus and remain
ed political boss Of Jerusalem till he
waxed old and was called TO his
fathers.
In imitation and emulation Of his
distinguished namesake. one Joshua,
OF Las Vegas, successful money
changer. conceived the notion the 9th
er day that he would do something
more than clip coupons ard calculate
interest. and at once become the
Joshua Of Albuquerque and smite his
enemies. He was actuated to this
heroic notion from the sordid fact that
the tax collector OF this county had re-
moved the funds OF the county 10 an
other bank. Joshua was so mad that
he advised thu people TO quit paying
taxes. Ia this way be thought he would
diminish the cash that was flowing in

advised that the republican leaders OF
this county should be at once wiped
out of political existence. He called an
