THE AFTER.

D the first of the years too cold, | fear
For the cause of a true reform.
'Twere better to wait for a later date
When things are a bit more warm.
The trouble that lies in the way of the
wise
Who'd leave bad habits behind,
Their virtuous sniff Is frozen stiff
By the chill of the winters wind.
The good intent of the righteous bent
Is nipped by the frosty air,
And the new-turned leaf o comes
to grief
And withers beyond repair.
Old Janus bold, with his blasts SC cold,
Bites deep on the virtuous nose;
Reform Is lost in the awful frost
That comes with the month of SHOWS,
'Twere better by much to await the
IOucn
OF a genial May-day sun
For putting on ice your favorite vice
With which you at last are done.
For the tenderest fow'r in natures

That Time can ever evolve
Is a sturdy oakland that's no joke
Compared to a good resolve.
And that is why, with the new year by
To my vicious ways l cling,
And contra bonas mores go
Till the warmer days of spring.

Splitting on Sidewalks

Can anything be more disgusting
than the p~romiscuous splitting upon u
public sidewalks? Convention declares
that ladies must wear skirts below
their ankles. Did you ever stop and
watch ladies' pass over a walk where
their noble protectors (?) have expec-
torated, and see how the folds of cloth
touch the vile substances and are
transmitted to other places? To de-
post our refuse in public places is bad
enough, but to contaminate wilfully
other people besides ourselves is Grim
inal, 1t is an abomination which we
as citizens should not tolerate. There
is a popular movement yer the coun-
try at present to stop splitting upon
sidewalks" and it is up to the town
council to pass an ordinance relative
to the same, also providing a penalty
for the characterization Press.

AN EXPERIMENT ABANDONED.

Nothing hat has happened recently
is more gratifying to the people of Lar
annie than the change in the running
of passenger locomotive engineers and
| firemen. When the order was issued
| requiring the men to run through from
Cheyenne to Rawiins, many feared that
1t was only the precursor of a complete
change in division point and that the
freight men would soon follow. Now
that the experiment has been fully
tried for a period of years and found
unsatisfactory, this feeling of unrest
will be entirely allayed.
Sherman hill has always been a ma
tural obstacle of an unusual kind and
necessarily has to be treated in an UNI
usual way. When men make a run
under such conditions as the run be-
tween this city and Rawllns is made,
the company feels that 1t is not war
ranted in making them go on over the
hill to Cheyenne.
Possibly one factor-probably the
greatest-in bringing about this CON
cluslon was the fact that the men on
the road have built up homes here and
value Laramie as a home city. Here
their children have better opportuni
ties for education than in other towns
along the line; here their loved one:
gone before have found a burial place
here the associations of a life time hav,
been formed, and the men Of the ROAD
are just as human as those in Other
walks of life.
