WEAZElSkiN, THE UTE,
IS RATHER oNE-siDED

WeaZelskin, the well known Ute
who resides on his allotment a few
miles below town. may properly be
accused of being somewhat one-sIded.
Out on the Florida mesa lives a
ranchman, G. w. Spencer. whose
house has always been open to the
tired and hungry wayfarer. When a
man Is hungry he is hungry, and that's
all there is to it. and so the hungry
man who found himself at Mr.. Spen-
GERS door was never asked any ques'
tions-at least not until after he had
flied up. It mattered not whether he
was white or black, or red, nor whicd
church he belonged to or whether he
was a Mason or an Odd Fellow.
And so it happened that one day
Weazelskin dropped in, having
great void In his stomach that need
ed filling. He was given pan
water and some soap and invited t
WASH, after which he sat down to tn
family table. Not given much to IL
