We Will Save
You Money

DEAR SIR Whereas in the
past it has been the custom to
sell goods on long time and long
profits. Also you must know that
the people who pay cash for their
goods are always paying an ex.
ira profit because in the method
of so much credit, there is al
ways a certain amount of bills
lost, and in order to make up
what is lost on John Doe an extra
profit must be levied in order to
meet the loss. Therefore we have
adopted the following plan to
sell goods as cheap as we can,
and get the Cash. By cutting off
the extra work and reducing our
expenses we can show you saw
ing of 10 per cent-10 cents on
| every dollar that goes into your
house in year, will, if put aside
each week make quite a neat little
pile.
Following is a few of our
prices -

excellent manner for which that ho-

Two small fires occurred in Ora
NADIA during the past week. On
Monday, the barn belonging to Bar
onet Cow was entirely consumed,
and on Tuesday, the car occupied by
the Mexican section men suffered the
same fate. Nothing was saved from
either, and the cause of the fire in
both instances is unknown.
The town warrants necessary
to raise the funds to put in the
pumping plaht at the artesian
we'll have been sold, and the engine.
pump, tank, ect., are on the way.
This completes one of the hardest
propositions the present town board
has had to meet. The warrants
were sold in Denver and brought 95
cents on the dollar.

How the MusseI Travels.

OF all the absurd forms OF locomo-
ton practiced by the creatures OF the
deep the most preposterous is that OF
the mussel. Squids will startle you by
darting backward, crabs hustle Off
sideways at lively gait, but nothing
save the dull brain Of some kind Of
clam critter," pondering over the trans
portation problem in those remote
epochs when time was no object, could
have evolved so slow and cumbersome
method.
You may often see mussels climb up
the pile Of a wharf toward the high
water mark. Notice the black threads
attached to the clam. They do the busi-
ness. The mussei shoots out spray
Of gelatinous stuff in the direction he
wants to 60 and this hardens into
those black threads. He lets go the
old ones and climbs up BY the new.
You can trace his progress up the pile
by the punches Of old threads, which
he leaves behind at intervals. 1t has
never been figured out whether be
could go q mile in less than q year,
but It would be safe to back the mus
sci in the animals "slow Tace."-Coun-
try Life In America.

This Cat Eathcs.

Time was when | felt that the cat
was an animal which civilization had
no power to corrupt. The dog, knew,
does his best to be human, but the cat
has always seemed to me above any
such shallow pretcHsc. l thought /
could count on the cat, but now I find
that even the cat can be perverted and
humauiZed. went 10 sec 4 friend OF
mine the other day who has recently
adopted i plain, valGeless alley cat OF
no particular breed She told me she
was about TO give the animal its daily
bath.
| felt sorry for the creature, because
! had seen cats batncd before. The
.Datktub was half full Of warm water.
The cat was lifted III its mistress
arms. The intelligent animal gave q
new of delight and hoped down into
the water. 1t swan two OF three times
around the tub with every indication
OF enjoyment, and then looked up and

AT BUENA VISTA.

The Only Preparations General Tay-
lor Made For Defeat.
Santa Anna was the greatest military
leader the A1cxicans have ever known.
Santa Anna with 25,GG0 veterans went
to the battle of Buena Vista with the
avowed purpose of exterminating the
entire army Of the United States, ana
there was no doubt in the mind OF
Santa Anna that this great feat could
be accomplished with comparative
ease. General Taylor, with his 5000
men, prepared for the unequal contest
and not only defended himself success
fully, but won 4 substantial victory
from his aggressive antagonists and
drove them from the battlefield OF
Buena Vista.
Some time after the battle was fought
and the Mexican war concluded Cen
eral Taylor was criticised for having
made no preparations for the retreat
Of his army in the event Of defeat.
General Taylor promptly replied: i
made every preparation necessary Tor
the battle Of Buena Vista. I wrote my
will, and so did nearly every man IN
nv army. If we had not Won that
battle, we would have needed no lines
of retreat. It was, from our stand
point, victory or annihilation. The only
preparation necessary for the contln-
gency Of defeat at Buena Vista was
that we should write our wills"
