Young man, there is one thing
YOU -cannot- do. Y.on. cannot
make a success in life unless you
work. Older men than you have
tried it and failed. You cannot
loaf around the street corner,
smoke, tell stories, and sponge
on someone else, without making
a failure in life. You must
learn a trade or get into some
honest business. If you don't
you will become chronic loafer
and there is no place in the
world for loafers. The ripe
fruit is at the top of the tree and
you must climb if you get it, or
some smart man will pluck it
from you. Do something no
matter how small or how low the
wages, it will be a starter. Help
yourself and others will help you.
There is no royal road to success {:
will, grit and endurance are the
qualities which lead to it.

brought Kong back on Sunday.
The gentleman was determined to
conceal his Identity. He painted the
horse which he was driving and also
treated his mustache in a similar man.
ner, but for all that he was still recog-
niZed as KONG and the harness-well,
that was the same as 1t was when it
left the Morris farm.
His preliminary trial was before JUS
tice Collins on Monday and he was
bound over to the district court for
trial in May. His bond was fixed at
500 and of course KONG could not
give it and is now in Jail. he will be
prosecuted for a penltentiary offense.
The legislature last year passed q law
making it penal offeuse to steal chick

To Prosecute Liquor Sellers.

A standing reward of $3.50 has been
offered by Medicine Lodge and Barber
county citizens, as will be seen in the
official notice published in the Index
this week.
We are informed that this action was
aroused on account of considerable
drunken ness on the streets lately.
Whether or not this will result In
suppressing the local traffic remains to
be seen, but certain it IS that the men
who have undertaken it will find it up
hill work, inasmuch as it Is conceded
that the county attorney and city at.
torney is not in sympathy with the,
movement. There are several whose
names appear on this list of signers
who were among the county attorneys
ardent supporters in 1902. They sag
that they supported him, however, on
pledges and promises he made to them,
and that he has failed to redeem those
promises.
The matter is in the hands of the
people and the polls is the best place to-
make the fight.
