WYOMING NOTES.


Clipped from the Denver Post.
Wesley Hammond of Cheyenne is off
the water-wagon-that is, he has sold
his milk route.
An Alva man is going to rattle off his
home. This is what might be called a
house and lottery.
The Cheyenne Tribune has at last
found out whats the matter with Kan
sas." Kansas is $4,000 short.
The Cheyenne Leader says a western
Wyoming paper gravely announces
that Washington's birthday will fall on
February % this year.
A cowboy up near Casper got into
trouble the other day. He drank a lot
of bad whisky and then accused al
Irishman of being Dutch.
A Laramie company is to drill for oil
near Laramie Inc several men up that
way can see themselves wearing wigs
and lodging ]subpoenas soon.
A man writes the editor of the Ian
der Mountaineer asking, why not stop
the slaughter in Russia?" The editor
replies that he is entirely too busy to
attend to that Russian matter at pres
ent.
The Big Horn County News got out
a st. Patrick's day number last 'Satur,
day. 1t was green all the way through.
1t is presumed the editor simply want
ed to scoop his rivals on the st. Pat
rick stunt.
Here's a little jab for Casper. A
Cheyenne paper says: Just because
the headquarters of the organization
are in the center of the town, the name
Of the Casper Country club" is not a
misnomer.
A Cheyenne young man who was in
love with a girl induced her father to
put a telephone in the house. Then he
called the old gentleman up and asked
o the girls hand. He was afraid to
tackle the girls dad face to face. The
old gentleman saw through the scheme
at once and considered the youth a
bright boy. He got the girl.

poor service in my life. The service in

a look of uneasiness on his face, and
asked:

uncivil, sir?"

back to the elevator without making
response.
