Miss Daisy Watson is making
great Roadway at skating. We
wish you much success, Miss
Daisy.
Mr.. Mccain, a pleasing young
gentleman, and a perfect dream
on skates, mingled with the Sat
u day night skaters.
Saturday afternoon was chill
dren's day at the rink ard it was
as much as ones life was worth
to get tangled up with the many
tiny tots on the floor that day.
We would like to witness a
race between Pierce Hughes and
Mr.. Mccain, as they are both
swift skaters asd would make
things interesting for q time.
George Rowland is quite an
artist with Che racers. His fancy
stunts are numerous, but he
doesn't always land on his feet
after some Of his wonderful fears.
Frank Lester is down from
Lordsburg visiting his brothers,
John and Lee. We know. he en-.
joyed skating Saturday night.
although he was carrying his
arm in a sling.
A popular little gentleman has
invented a new way of making
money. He cleaned up the house
for his mother, and makes a $l.OO,
and then spruces up and goes
and takes his best girl Ia
the rink. Well, / guess that $
the system.

of unmarried manhood In the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
Bachelors said Mr.. McCulloch in
an. address before the members of the
philanthropy department of the Evan
ston Woman's club, ARE detectives.
They are not to blame because they
have no wives. They have probably
been seeking for wives for years, but
their fatal lack of persuasive powers
has crippled their efforts and left them
high and dry on the sands loneliness.
ITO make laws against these ear
nest seekers is simply inhuman cruel
ty. You cannot legislate the gentle
persuasion of Romeo or the rough
and ready efficiency OF a Lochinyar
into any man. Laws against bach
elors are fit subjects for discussion by
the humane societies." which makes
1t doubtful that the bachelors will ac-
cept aid preferred from such source.

Miss Pearl Hayes, in delicious

the breath of those fragrant blossoms.
Miss Jennings, in silvery pink, re-

THE TAX FERRErs.

Mr.. Sawyer is right. The tax ferret
law does not drive money out of the
county. 1t drives it into other forms
of investment than mortgages and into
real estate. There is nothing to be
deplored in this fact, because 1t Is diff
ficult to get mortgage loans in compe-
tition with the insurance companies
which are taking all good loans offer
ed at 5 per cent.-Dubuque Tele-
graph.
Yet the Telegraph is not special
champion of the big insurance COM
panies and it is as thoroughly commit
ted as Mr.. Bryan is against all froms
of monopoly. The big insurance com
panies do not pay taxes on their Iowa
mortgages, and the Telegraph is in IA
vor of continuing the exemption and
seeing to 1t that discrimination is
maintained to enable them to hold the
business. The only explanation that
appears on the spur of the moment
is contributed by the known hostility
of the Telegraph to every form of pro-
lection of home industry.-Sioux City
Journal.
