1t Is to Laugh.

Bill Nye, the humorist, once had a
cow to sell, the story goes, and ad-
vertised her as follows:
lowing to i'll health, will sell at
my residence in township 10, range
I8, according to the government sur
vey, one plush raspberry COW, aged
8 years. She is of undoubted cour-
age and gives milk frequently. To a
man who does not fear death in any
form she would be great boon. She
is very much attached to her present
home by stay chain, but she will
be sold to any one who will agree
to treat her right. She is one-fourth
shorthorn and three-fourths hyena.
l will also throw in double barrelled
shot egun which goes with her.
In May she usually goes away for
week or two and returns with tall
red calf with wabbly legs. Her name
is Rose. | would rather sell to a nom

TRUTH STRANGER TO THEM.

The following lies only show the
extent of the average newspaper re-
porter's imagination and his disre-
gard for the truth:
The Holly sugar factory has closed
down. From what we can learn there
has been a ruption between the farm
ers and the company and the farmers
refuse to deliver any more beets. We
are informed that the factory refused
to give the fiat rate OF SIS which is
the cause of the trouble If one fac
tory can afford to pay that price we
see no reason why the Holly factory
should not.-La Junta Democrat.
The sugar factory at Holly is
closed 1t is having trouble with the
farmers over the price of beets-
Denver Post.
IF either OF these papers had de-
sired the truth they could easily have
secured it by communication with the
seat of the alleged trouble-Holly.
The fact of the matter is that there
has not been the slightest friction be-
tween the farmers and the managers
of the Holly factory, and there is as
yet no intimation that there is likely
to he. Everything is very satisfac-
tory between all parties concerned
and the factory is running little
above its intended capacity, so large
was the crop of the past season.

A certain newspaper man in this
state relates an experience that might
shed some light on the mail order
business. He was at the town de-
pot and saw farmer receiving bill
of goods from Chicago. He attempt
ed to prove to the latter that he was
making mistake, as the local dealer
would furnish him the same or bet
ter goods and the profits to be kept
at home But" said the farmer,
'this is the first that I've heard that
there is such firm in your town.

and have never seen line OF adver-
tising in it about such an institution

In prosperous times the tendency
of the young man is to rush to the
city for employment. Bye and bye
after repeated prosperity they wax
fat, become arrogant and want to do
little in return for plump salary.
Then comes trouble. Trade condi-
tions are disturbed; few cease to
prosper; unfavorable conditions close
the workshops, then back to the land
the real source of all wealth-goes

Sensible Women These.

Ninety-nine women of the Streator
WOman's club have voiced their senti-
ment in favor of newspaper advertis-
ing as against the hand bill or circu-
lars which many of the local mer-
chants have been in the habit of dis
tributing AT a business meeting of
the Womans club held last week at
which % members were present, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The distribution of ad-
vertising matter by means of circulars
thrown into our doors and yards. lit
tering up lawns, streets, frightening
horses, etc, is a nuisance; therefore
be it
Resolved, That this method of adj

members of which pledge themselves
to burn without reading all such ad-
vertising so distributed"
The members of the Streator Won
ans club displayed good common
sense and excellent judgment in TAX
ing the stand they have against lit
tering up the lawns and streets with
dodgers. handbills. etc. A large pro
portion of the waste paper that Is
thrown broadcast on lawns and streets
is bandbiIl advertising. and to say that
much of this kind of advertising is
actually thrown away as an adver-
Using medium is also fact. People
wisely look TO their newspapers for
reliable advertising and cast aside as
worthless appeals made to them
through circulars. handbills and sim

The women of Streator have voiced
the sentiment of the sensible women
of every city. who love 10 see clean

shown in the just sentiment that has

THE ELECTED GOVERNOR SEATED
BY LEGISLATURE

The Post has said but little of late
concerning the gubernatorial contest,
preferiug to stand on our prophecy
made some weeks ago that Peabody
would be seated That prophecy was
simply because the wish was father
to the thought, but because, after a
careful examination of the evidence as
well as several hundred fraudulent
ballots taken from Denver ballot
boxes, we became convinced that the
legislature, if it We're honest, even
though it might have been democratic,
could not avoid seating Peabody.
This was on the firm conviction that
Peabody received an easy majority of
the honest votes cast at the last cleo
tion. This was proved without Il
doubt, and while it was not possible
to unearth all the democratic fraud,
enough was brought to light to prove
that Alva Adams had usurped the
office of governor and was fraudulent
ly holding the same.
Even had there been an honest
doubt as to which candidate was elect
ed-not partisan wish, but an hon
est doubt, mind you-a republican
legislature should have seated Pea
body And this is what they did but
not for that reason. James H. Pea
body was seated AS governor simply
because he was elected as governor
and that $ all there is to it.
Since this contest started demo
Gratis who have been boosting for Ad
ans have admitted to republican
friends: I'VE stole the United States
senator, we stole the congressman
but he wouldn't stand hitched and
now we have stolen the governor and
what are you going to do about itf'
The joint assembly of the state legis-
lature answered that question Thurs
day afternoon by seating the legally
elected governor of Colorado.

LOVE DIES.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says there
comes time in the course of married love
when uthe thrill goes out of the hand
clasp and the kiss at times, and il is then
that husband and wife may be susceptible
to other magnetic personalities" The rea-
son for this condition of affairs is often the
fault of the husband, but how often is it
not due to the wife's nervousness and irri-
liability due to some trouble with the or
gans peculiarly feminine-the wife under
such circumstances feels languid aud spir-
tless-she suffers perhaps from headache
and sleeplessness.
