county delegates are selected under the
primary system Ed Hunter fails to
win?
Audubon county conceded to the

Perhaps it is becoming plain why gen

this: An x-saloonman following the

notorious drunkard. Hailed before the
mayor he was given advice to the

his liberty to get drunk again and
was assigned a six-day stunt digging
dandelions out of public lawns Dis

she said there were lots of young wo-

Stevenson wrote a gentle satire. con-
tanning much Shrewd wisdom, entitled
'An Apology for Idlers,' in which he
says, among other equally good things:
Perpetual devotion to what a man
calls his business is only to be sustain
ed by perpetual neglect of many other
things. And it is not by any means
certain that mans business is the
most important thing he has to do. To
an impartial estimate it viii seem clear
that many of the Wisest, most virtuouS
and beneficial parts that are to be
played upon the theater of life are filled
by gratuitous performers, and pass
among the world as phases of idle
ness
1t is refreshing to listen now and
then to so distinguished an apologist
and exemplar of idleness.
Amusement is an important part of
education. Relaxation is one of the
main duties of life.
Recreation is not wasting time, but
economizing life.

Major Carson finally fatty refused to
contribute any more money for LIQUOR,
the fallen fellow planted and nourished
a grudge which he determined to graf

occasion came, and Butler avenged
himself upon his erstwhile friend.
