a Healthy Sentiment

Starting a Healthy Sentiment
The first action taken by this term
of court should be a lesson to the
young men of the county. 1t should
teach them that the young man who
is armed and ready with the gun
will sooner or later find hat he has
sufficient cause to use it, and after
he has used it, that the inevitable
will follow and the punishment will
be meted out by the courts. When
brought face to face with a long term
of Imprisonment, Or perhaps the gal
lows, then it is too late to remedy the
offense committed with the ever ready
gun in the hands of a would-be bad
man"
Then it is, that persons whom you
once called your friends, turn and
look in another direction and you
come to realize that the statement
Of the best class of people of today
is against the commission of crime.
The time is past for men to go about
the town armed with six shooters and
all persons who may still persist in do
ing so should be called to account
by the sheriff or town marshal. 1t
may be the means Of saving life to
some and preventing Imprisonment for
others.-Wind River Mountaineer.
The Tribune believes every move
ment looking to an improved moral,
social or financial condition in Wyom-
ing should be encouraged. Every word
uttered by any newspaper or from any
influential source which makes for
higher aims should be given the widest
possible dissemination.
The carrying Of concealed deadly
weapons has been the cause of the
south for two hundred years n the
many fatal feuds in Kentucky, Ten
nessee and ether states, as well as
the numerous casual killings still at
test the presence of the evil.
The six shooter, with some reason,
accompanied the early settler of the
west, In many communities it has lin
gered long after its days of usefulness
have passed.
A western man said to us not long
ago, Il have Travelled by railroad, by
stage and by trail in the west for
twenty-five years and | have never
carrier a pistol. | have rubbed up
against old-time cowboys, Indians and
bad men generally and nave never
needed a six shooter to enforce my
rights. In an ordinary physical com
bat | always counted l could take care
of myself. but have never beer molest-
ed because | have attended strictly to
my own business. | have seen or been
very near at hand when at least a half
dozen men have been killed. In most
cases it was a combination of liquor
and a gun with no other serious cause
for trouble. Do away with the revol-
yer and there won't be so many men
die with their boots on"
The Tribune takes pleasure in add
ing these few observations to those Of
the Mountaineer to the end that few
err of our Wyoming young men may
feel called upon to swagger around
with six shooters in their pockets.
We need fewer crack shots and more
potato growers, not so many bad
men" and a larger number of good
farmers.-Cheyenne Tribune.

Beer Kills Quicker,

DR.. S. H. Burger, practitioner of 81
years, in REPUTATION of the generally ac-
cepted theory that beer is the least harm
full Of all intoxicating drinks, says: 81
think beer kills quicker than any other
liquor. My attention was first called Ia
its insidious effects when | began ex-
aiming for life insurance. | passed as
unusually good risks five Germans
young business men-who seemed in the
best health, and TO have superb constitu-
tons In few years | was amazed to
see the whole five drop off, one after an
other, with what ought to have been mild
arsi easily durable diseases. On COM
pairing my experience with that of other
pny sicians | found they were all having
similar luck with confirmed beer drink
ers, and my practice since has heaped
confirmation upon confirmation. The
beer drinEer is much worse off than the
whisky drinker, who seems to have
more elasticity and reserve power. He
will even have delirium tremens; but
after the fit is gone you will sometimes
find good material to work upon. Good
management may bring him around all
right. But when beer drinker gets into
trouble it seems almost as if you have
to recreate the man before you can dc
anything for him.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

There are 254, 49S liquor dealers in the
United States.
Reports show that Chicago drank u.s.
359 fewer gallons of whisky in 1903 than
in 1902 and smoked 11,263,O 09 fewer
boxes OF cigarettes.
The highest amount charged yearly
for liquor license is $500 in Louis
lana The lowest is five dollars, charged
in the same state. The license fee varies
between these two extremes according
to the amount of business done Illinois
is under local option, with minimum
fee of $500
4 certain number of inebriates mani

that each effort or means to help them

The voice ceases and the spirit of
his childhood vanishes from his sight.
The drunkard raises himself to
sitting posture, and searches again
for his boon companion, the bottle.
AS he does so he hears a boyish wills

had stood, is boy of perhaps IA years
of age. Like the little child. the boy
wears a familiar look. and to him the

He lies still and quiet, dead to all
around him, deaf to the noise and bus
tie of this New Years eve. this season
of joyousness and of mirth. There are
no children in his mockery of a home,
no wife to tell the prattling little
ones of what New Years should mean
to them, no pleasure for him save in
the bottle which has helped him to
forget the past. Rousing himself, he
places the bottle to his lips; he takes
one more drink and then sinks back
again, but this time not to forget

my God! why can not forget?" is
his dispairing cry. "One more drink.
l must forget"
Once more he sleeps, and ere long
there falls upon his ear a pattering of
tiny feet. In the dim light stands a
beautiful, fair-haired boy with a
bright, merry face. AS the man
looks, he says: who are you, and
why do you come when l would for

Then the boy answers in his sweet,
childish tones: do you not know me?

Before the drunkard stands a wom-

She woman is worn and weary; the
child is moaning a weak, pitiful wall.
Its tiny hands are thin and emaciated,
and its lips are blue with the cold.
The door opens and a man staggers
in. The child stretches out its little
hands and cried: Papa, o, papa!"

little one means and cries. but the
mother will never again IN this world

all is still, for the souls of mother
and child have gone to their Maker.

They found him dead, tightly clutch

sweetfaced woman in her bridal robes,

A M EMORY.

like strain of old-time music
Comes a memory to me,
From the days of boyhood joyance,
Full of dreamy ecstacy;
Ard l wander far back yonder
Underneath the happy skies
That were bluest on the Friday
When my mother made the pies.
Every day was sunlit silver,
Every night was gold with stars
That should light my ships of promise,
Yet to come across the bars:
But the sunshine and the starshine
Were as nothing in my eyes
In comparison with Friday
When my mother made the pies.
There are days, these days, when music
Lends its rhythm to my thought,
For there's melody in working
Out the plans that must be wrought;
And / labor with my neighbor
To secure the golden prize,
But there's no day like that Friday
When my mother made the pies.

The Department of Agriculture has

and practical benefit never before

I May 9, 1902, now sustained in the
| Supreme Court, and the act of July 1st
| 1902, to prevent the false branding of
| food and dairy products--protect farm
ers against fraudulent limitations. The
act of February 2nd 1908. enables the
Secretary of Agriculture to prevent the
spread of contagious and infectious
! diseases of live stock. Rigid inspec-
| ton has protected our cattle against
infection from abroad, and has estab-
Ilished the highest credit for our meat
| product in the markets of the world.
| The earth has been seached for
weapons with which to fight the enc
mics that destroy the growing crops.
An insect brought from near the Great
Wall Of China has checked the SanJose

orchards; a parasitic fly brought from
South Africa is discriminating the black

OF California; and an ant from Gauta-
mala is about Offering battle to the
