Had a Cheer Coming.

Years ago, when the G. A. r. annual
department encampment was held in
Boston, as the veterans were marching
along one of the avenues a lady, who
had secured an elevated position on a
wagon in side street. became con-
spicuous by the enthusiasm she dis
played, and was dissatisfied with the
lack of it in the by-standers. "Cheer!"
said she. why don't YOU cheer? l
guess you'd cheer if you'd lost two
husbands in the war as l did."-Life.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces.
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and flneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

Greeley. Colo.-Charles Simonsen.
who recently shot and killed Editor E.
r. Lewis of the Kersey Enterprise, has
been bound over to the District Court
for trial without bail by Justice of the
Peace H. p. Hill of Kersey. The pre-

held in Greeley, but on change of
venue he was taken TO Kersey. There
was very little testimony taken at the
hearing, only enough to establish the
fact that Simonsen was the slayer.

An Irishman who wasn't much of a

the first thing he saw to shoot at was

up. What he happened to find there
was dead frog, which he raised care

FOR THE CHILDREN
Learn to PLAY Proverbs,

This is an interesting game and can
be played by large number at the
same time. One person is sent out of
the room while the others choose
proverb This is distributed a word
being given to each person around the
circle. When this is done the "guesser"
is called in and asks each person sepa-
rately question. In the answer, no
matter what question is asked, the one
word of the proverb must be used
There is more fun if the answers are
given quickly without any accent on
the special word. 1t often happens
that the "guesser" has to try several
times before succeeding. The one who
by giving bad answer gives the clew
must become the "guesser" and is then
obliged TO 60 out of the room while an
other prOverb is chosen.
Here are few proverbs from which
to choose:
A bad workman quarrels with his
tools
creaking door hangs long on the
hinges.
drowning man will catch at a
straw.
After dinner sit awhile, after supper
walk mile.
Catch the bear before you sell his
