STREET TALK.

There are just two items in town
day. Parties have been hanging
arc und this Office all day to see that
both are KEEP, out. Yet there is not
the slightest reason why both of them
should not be printed.
Canon man who is great nuis
ance around credit grocery stores be-
cause of his habit of tasting. is afraid
to take anything at cash grocery
store.
1t is said that people invited to
certa inCanon house are not given
much to eat, but are stuffed with COM
pliments.
Canon has an unusual sight: a
bride who looks better than she did
before marriage.
1t is often said there are no boys"
in Canon. The town is full of them,
but boys are scarce who devote their
time to society; who regard it as an
extreme pleasure to take the girls
to dollar and a half shows.
Every man who plays amateur base
ball thinks he would have been in
the National League had he pracuced
more.
When they are alone, a Canon wo-
man plainly calls her husband a black
guard. When there is company in the
house. she refers to him as her African
sentinel.
When you meet a barber on the
street carrying a little satchel, it is
not sign he is going away on
trip; he is probably going out to shave
a dead man.
In a small town. there are never
any ready made clothes big enough
for big men. They are also compelled
to send out of town for their collars,
shirts, shoes. etc.
1t Is said a Canon woman married
the sweetheart of her youth, but she
came 50 near not doing it that her
trosseau was made for her marriage
to another man.
A man appeared at a lawyers ONCE
to institute suit for a divorce. MY
wife owned me all right" he said. but
when she attempted to brand me, I
rebelled.
There are some queer beliefs in the
world. A business man believes that

Creek cabin.
The greatest interest in Senator
Borah's case locally was aroused by
the letters of William Sweet to his
attorneys, which have been read in
evidence. They were original, anus
ing and entertaining to high degree,
The most striking feature and one
that is being freely repeated, was in
connection with Sweets complaint
that his first attorney had turned all
his money over to Governor Steunen-
berg.
1T is like pulling a cat through a
stocking to get it back" he declared.
Speaking of one of the alleged Cocoon
spirators, Sweet wrote: That man,
Kinkaid. would skin himself if he
couldn't find anybody else to-" Another
incident which has ocasioned much
talk was the testimony o fan alleged
'dmmy" entryman named Joplin. To
the surprise of the governments coun-
sci, Joplin swor, on the stand that
the money with which he proved his
claim was his own and that he re-
ceived none of it from any Of the con-
spirators. He admitted to the prose
cutors that he had told them a diff
erent story outside the court room
but explained this by saying They
got me scared and l told them a lo'
of stun that wasn't So
The attorneys for the defense were
quick to ask Joplin what had been
said to frighten him. but he declared
he could not remember.
