that He could express Himself In IL, or
that any one can express anything IN II ~
not to see the point of the JOKE.
We cannot even express ourselves TO ono
another The language OF everything we
use or touch is absurd. Nearly all OF tie
tools we do our living with-even the
things that human beings amuse thein-
selves with-are inexpensive and foolish

Immediately following the game the patri-

flag bedecked platform adjoining the dia-
mond. Mr.. David II. Fenton presided, Rev.
James T Marshall made the invocation and
Rev. Alexander Bielaski read the Declara-
ton Of Independence.
Mr.. G. L. Baker of Washington. formerly

short but inspiring address. Patriotic songs
filed in between the other numbers and
solos were rendered by Miss Alice Bielash
and Mr.. w. d. Thomas.
At $ O. clock the citizens again assembled
TO witness excellent display of fireworks
The plan which for years has been adopted
here of general display of fireworks, in
stead OF individual exhibitions worked sue
cessfully inasmuch as the display was more
beautiful all accidents were avoided and
the chance of fire was practically elm
mated.

Reason of His Fear.
the San Francisco Chronicle.


There is a little town up the coast that
bears the name of Ocosta." remarked Jere
IT. Burke of the Southern Pacific law de-
partment while in reminiscent mood yes
,a-aav afternoon. "It lies just back of
c.rav,s harbor and is the largest town In
that neighborhood- However, that does not
mean very much / visited Ocosta little
while hack. and while was in town GER
tain fellow traded a town lot for horse.
After closing the deal the fellow that had
acquired the horse hurriedly took the ami
NAL to blacksmith shop and asked the
blacksmith to shoe him In a hurry. Tho
blacksmith seemed in no hurry, however.
and the owner of the horse made two or
three trips outside of the shop, looking
nervously up the road.
Can't you hurry that job?' he said to
the blacksmith. L never was in such a
hurry in my life.
Say declared the blacksmith. did you
steal this horse?
No, / didn't steal the horse said the
owner reassuringly. I traded lot for the
horse, and by mistake put two lots In the
deed instead of one. Now I'm afraid the
other fellow will discover the mistake and
come back to demand the horse"

SANATORIUMS.
Gases of Lopsided Conscience.

From the Kansas City Star.
1t Is point of honor with many violators
Of law to be square in their dealings with
individuals Their principle is on O par
with the doctrine of honor among thieves
sometimes better. because those who prac-
tice 1t are usually above pilfering though
they break other rules of society. For ex-
ample, the bookmakers at the st. Louis
race meeting scrupulously pay bets-of
which the other party has no record-yet
they do not hesitate to commit what the
statute declares to be felony and IL Or
rested they will plead their constitutional
rights to escape the penitentiary. The So
cial sense is not yet well developed Many
persons draw a distinction between honesty
to society and honesty las between man
and man." In higher strata of society than
the "bookies" occupy men gouee millions
from the public by breaking moral and
statute law and regard themselves as pill
lars Of religion If they give part of the
swag to the church. They, too, have the
lopsided conscience.

Grazing Applications. A

All grazing applications for stock other than sheep for the San Francisco mountains and Black Mesa forest reserves, must be on file with the forest supervisor by January I, 1906.
 All sheep grazing applications must be filed with the forest su. pervisor by February I, Ioo6.
 Applications not filed by the time specified cannot be consid- cred. It is absolutely necessary for grazing applications to be in by the time mentioned in order that the total number of stock al- lowed on the reserves can be equitably divided among stock men. No provision can be made for those who do not make appli- cation on time for the reason that the supervisor has no means of knowing what their intentions are and must make the division of range and numbers by the appli- cations before him.
 At present. the grazing fee has not been settled upon.
 As soon as applications are acted upon the applicant will be notified of the number of which purmit will be granted and will be required to pay the fee fixed, by postal or express money order or New York draft made payable to James B. Adams, special fiscal agent, Washington, D. C.

Patrons We'll Pleased.

A large crowd greeted the vaudeville performers at the Sea- side theater last night. Not only was there a good crowd, but it was one of the best pleased audi ence that has ever assembled since this playhouse was opened. Every one on the bill was an artist in his or her particular line. Ray mond Teal was all that was prom ised for him-a show in himself. The minstrel first part and olio was one grand entertainment, which kept the patrons of the house in a constant roar of laugh ter. This was followed by the mirth-provoking Irish comedy, Finnegan's 4oo." Every char acter in the cast was we'll per formed, and the people continued to laugh long after they reached the street. The same bill will hold the board tonight, Wednes- day and Thursday nights. On Friday night the management an- nounce an entire change of bill, with the same people in some of their best specialties. In this ar rangement patrons may attend the theater two nights in the week without witnessing the same show. The seaside people have made happy hit in putting on vaude- vile.
