A Serious Joke.

1t is custom of many cowboys
in a joshing way to exaggerate
their wickedness, and often thus
confess great crimes, which they
suppose their auditors know it was
impossible for them to lave COM
mitted. There is one cowboy,
Jake McClain by name, who is
pretty we'll broken of this habit.
He was at the KIT ranch in the
lower Animas last month and on
the fifteenth rode up to Rodeo.
During the night of the fourteenth
the railroad water tank at Rodeo
had been blown up by dynamite.
Some one at Rodeo asked Mccain
why he blew up the tank, and he
said be did it to make noise.
That afternoon he rode over to
Paradise. There he was asked by
a friend where he had been and
what he had been doing, and he re-
piled he had just come from Ro-
deo, where he had blown up the
railroads water tank. Some days
later notices were posted offering
a reward for the conviction of the
person who had blown up the tank.
Some one remembered the story
Jake had told, and repeated it to
the railroad officials They se-
cured warrant and caused his ar
rest. He was brought before
Jugde McGrath, and his case is set
for hearing next Monday. Some
of the men from the KIT ranch will
be up to the hearing and will be
able to prove satisfactory alibi.
Jake says that after he gets out of
this trouble he will be very careful
with his talk, and will never again
confess to any crime.-Lordsburg

A Bit Of Advice 10 Daughters.

Here's bit of advice to daugh,
ters, and the sons, too, might take
little of it to themselves:
A father, talking to his careless
daughter, said: II want to speak
to you of your mother. 1t may
be that you have noticed care
worn look upon her face lately.
Of course, it has not been brought
there by any action of yours, still
it is your duty to chase it away.
l want you to get up tomorrow
morning and get the breakfast, and
when your mother comes and be-
gins to express her surprise, go
right up to her and kiss her. You
can't imagine how it will brighten
her dear face. Besides, you owe
her kiss or two. Away back,
when you were little girl, she
kissed you when no one else was
tempted by your fever tainted
breath and swollen face. You
were not as attractive then as you
are now. And through those
years of childish sunshine and
shadow she was always ready to
cure, by the magic Of a mothers
kiss, the little, dirty, chubby
hands whenever they were injured
in those first skirmishes with the
rough world.
"And then the midnight kiss
which she routed so many bad
dreams, as she leaned over your
restless pillow, have all been on
interest these long, long years.
OF course she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are, but if you had
done your share of work during
the last ten years the contrast
would not been so marked. Her
face has more wrinkles than yours,
far more, and yet if you were sick
that face would appear more beau
tiful than an angels as it lowered
over you watching every oppor-
tunity to minister to your comfort,
and every one of these wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets
of sunshine chasing each other
over the dear face,
"She will leave you one of these
days. These burdens, if not lifted
from her shoulders, will break her
down. Those rough, hard hands
that have done so many necessary
things for you, will be crossed up
on her lifeless breast. Those neg
lected lips that gave you your first
baby kiss will be forever closed
and those sad, tired eyes will have
opened in eternity, and then you
will appreciate your mother; but it
will be too late"

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the
mothers of small children to learn
that Group can be prevented. The
first sign of Group is hoarseness.
A day or two before the attack
the child becomes hoarse, This is
soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety
may be avoided. This remedy is
used by many thousands of moth
ers and has never been known to
fail. 1t is, in fact, the only remedy
that can always be depended upon
and that is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by Stafford Drug

The Output

The output is the keynote
to profit, In deciding upon
price at which to sell, a
manufacturer, no matter
what article he has to offer,
considers how many he is
likely to sell, and bases his
charges accordingly. 1t is
quite reasonable, too. If a
tailor sells only two suits of
clothes each week, his in
come must come from the
profit of these two suits. If
he can, however, double or
tretle his output without
materially increasing his
working expenses, he can
naturally afford to make the
profit on each suit much less.
Again, this output decides
the buying power. 1t is
only necessary to state that
there have been manufactur-
ed and sold over

THE PASSING OF THE JAY"
Another Conventional Fiction Tint IN
as Extinct ms the DOdO.

One by one the old conventional fic-
tons are being demolished and among
the last to go is that of the rural visitor
who always comes to grief when he visits
the city.
The woes of this traditional individual
have long furnished material for the
comic illustrators and the humorous para
graphcrs. His purchase of gold bricks,
his investments In green goods, his ex
cursions to the lake front or to the tun-
nels to view disasters in those localities
have excited the rsibilities of the urban
resident for a long time
Like the stage Irishman and his col
league, the "Dutchman" of the drama,
however, it is now quite clear that the
"hayseed" of the funny papers Is a crea
ture of the imagination rather than an
actual type. He may have been mere or
less vcrdant and unsophisticated once,
but he is so no longer. The rural resi-
dent of the Middle West, at any rate, is
ut no disadvantage whatever as compar-
ed with the dweller in the city. If the
Jay" of tradition ever had an existence
he has vanished from this vicinity.
This has been quite evident during the
centennial celebration. Many thousands
of people from out of town have visited
the city, and it mas been no easy matter
for Chicagoans to distinguish them from
the regular residents of the city. They
dress as well and they conduct them
selves as we'll. They do not stand in the
middle of the street gazing up at the
high buildings. They do not carry shiny
carpet sacks, nor do they interlard their
discourse with "B'gosh," and by hen!"
as the comic papers assert They are. in
short, intelligent, we'll hammered Ameri-
cans who have nothing to fear by com
parison with their city cousins in the
matter of intelligence, and who have dis
tinctly the better of 1t in manners and
courtesy.
1t is possible that in remote and thnly
settled districts of the West there may
still exist people who justify the conceits
of the comic artists, but there are no
such people in the territority circum jacent
to Chicago There is no reason why
there should be.
The rural resident of to-day has a tele-
phone and rural mail delivery; he takes
a daily newSpaper-perhaps more than
one-and half dozen magazines He is
probably better informed on current topics
than is the average city dweller because
he has more time to devote to acquiring
information. AT any rate, he is nobodys
fool. and the man who picks him up with
such an idea is going to find his mistake
very quickly.
The "easy mark" from the country has
gone forever. if. indeed, he existed at
all. The confidence man of to-day seeks
his victims not in the rural districts.
but among the tenants of sky-scraperS
who have a fancy for Consolidated Lake
Superior and similar investments.

CONSERVATISM INCREASES.
Good and Poor Reports Render General
Trade Appearance Irregular.

New York Oct. %. -Bradstreets state
ment of trade will say Tomorrow
The weeks developments have favored
an increase in the conservatism which
has ruled in many lines for some time
past Good and poor reports combine to
give an appearance of irregularity to gem
eral trade as a whole Reports from the
Northwest are mixed but on the whole
more cheerful, owing to better weather
and charging crop movement. Southern
trade is helped by the increasing move
mcnt of cotton and the higher prices paid.
The Kansas wheat acreage Will be very
large. Western wheat generally is look
ing well.
Fluctuations in grain prices have been
numerous but slight. Good export bust
ness and talk of Eastern complications
have caused some covering in wheat, but
the general drift was lower because of the
expected frcer movement from the North
west favored by good weather.
Cotton prices reflect short covering due
to "A pairing down of estimates of yield,
based upon frost damage stories lighter
than expected receipts and rather bitter
spinning demand here and abroad.
The iron and steel trades do not show
much If any change. Prices are weak.

ulative channels rather than any evidence
OF current weakness in the industrial or

Another general reduction in quotations

the restriction of output and a movement

until business improves.
Exceptionally favorable weather has

by most encouraging conditions at the
close of the season. As to cotton there
