Observations, by the Old Man.

It is not the other fellows business
that worries me, on Saturday nights
AS the P. o. department has ruled
that all guessing contests are not to
be admitted to the mails. the weather
predictions will. pow have to all come
by telegraph.
We guess the weather right now is
good enough. But we are not enter.
ing a contest with any who may think
differently.
IF were school bey-and l wish
1 was-I'd regret this week. For
some it will end their chances of an
education, and correspondingly in
crease their chances of getting into
devilment
Signs of trouble: Your neighbors'
COW pesticating about your back yard
e ence. The other fellows chicken
cooking an eye at your straw berry
patch. The city marshal with shot
gun and an eye out for Towser.
1t is easier to do wrong than to
edit an observation colum. I some
how can't do both.
The real value of some things are
never known until after the fire, and
the insurance adjuster gets in his
work.
Your name had better be "Rocke-
Teller on easy street. than Dennis in
the ditch" But in either case, look
for a shower of mud.
A couple got married the other day
by telegraph, when they were a thous.
and miles apart. What in thunder
they wanted to do that for, when SO
far apart, beats me.
"After devorce, WHAT" asks the
preacher. Alimony, of course. And
perhaps the sprouting of another di-
vorce case by re-marriage.
Say the trusts: "Let US make the
laws of nation, and we care not a
tinkers' d-n who does the administer
ing of them-or the whistling."
1 want to see that new opera house
built this summer.
Hail and wind together make a
bad mixture. / prefer mine straight
both of them.
Don't be potterer, ! know a young
man who could make his business a
good paying one, if he would quit
pottering around at things in which
there is no money. And don t
charge anything for this tip.
The wheat crop might be a failure,
but the young man who sows his
wild oats in is dead sure of reaping a
crop all right.
God help the rich, the poor are
used to hustling for themselves.
1 have thought some of starting a
want column. But my wants are SO
many, column would not hold them.
1 hope that lady friend will keep
her promise, to keep me posted on
the doings of the stork in the second
ward.
Now Bub, don't lay out to fritter
away your time doing nothing until
school opens again. Hunt you job
and scratch gravel.
And Sis, it would be a good plan
for you to let mother give you some
needed pointers on household duties
| burning the summer vacation.
All clouds have a silver lining
except those funnel-shaped> thing
| umabobs which come out of the
southwest.
