 business. Just as he got to the top of
 Teck Hili who should he meet coming
 from the other dirsckshfon but Enos
 Crabtree. who was on his way to Bing- vile to purchase some groceries and
 shirtfng at Hen weathersby's store. Jake
 had forgot all about what he had teached Cesar the day before. and when he come
 up zith Enos he says. ',TIowdy dol1 as friendly as you please. Soon as Cesar
 heard them words he shot forrard like a
 bullet from gun. and being as Jake was
 took offen his guard as you might say. the wagon was jerked clean out from under him and Jake hisself was snapped back over the tailboard and lit right in the middle of the road on his head and shoulders. Enos jumped outen his rig and run to Jake to see if he was killed or injured. For 6 few minutes Jake couldn't seem to get through his head what had happened to him. then 1t dawned on him that Cesar had remem- bered what he had teachsd him the, day before.
 By this time Cesar had run down tother side of Teclx Hill and disappeared over the next ridge on his mad flight lords the Co. seat. Jake rid back to BingviIle with Enos and on Thursday snide Will kins who lives seven miles farther on from where the axident happened brought back Cesar to Bingviile and turned her over to Jake. Snide says when he found Cesar she was exosted and had run her self outen breath.
 Jake says that hs has found that it ain't safe to say 'Howdy dor' to any per- son when he's driving Cesar and that when he is able to drive her again he will either pass them who he meets on he road in silekt contempt or will say 'Hellop' or some other words of greeting which Cesar don't know la4e meaning of. |

As we take our pencil in hand to write
 a editorial for this issue of the Bugls
 1t occurs to us that we have rOt wrote
 anything on capitol and labor for a long
 spell back, so here goes:
 Capitol and labor is a deep questshior
 and always has been since millionaires
 has become so numerous. If 1t wasn't l for a labor there wouldn't be no capitol
 and if it wasn't, for capitol there wouldn't be no labor, so as a result one
 is independent of the other, as you might 1 put it And yet capitol and labor don't
 seem to iibe so very well together es- peshially when they are so close connect ed. Capitol tries to get labor to work for as near nothing as possible while la bor asks for 8-hour day, enough wages to pay the rent and keep the family and the privilege to strike if it can think of anything else it wants. As horrible re- suit of the effects of capitol and labor look at the coal strike we had several years ago. Of dourse this strike didn't effect us none here in Bingville being as we burnt wood which is so plenty in our midst that it is almost nuisance. But from what we can learn the suffering for coal in the cities where they burn it was very intense There was many a- poor family who didn't have a bite of coal in the house for days.
 Potes have sang about "The Dignity of Labor" Even Miss Sally Ffoskins our pome writer, has treated this sub. Jeckt in verse, which appeared in the Bugle seven years ago. We take pleas ure in printing below the first verse of this beautiful pome so that you can see what it is like:
 o let me go oHt and sOoyk, woyk, zVoyk,
 And not stand here Ike e coa0;
 o let ms sarH Ny daily bread
 I~ the SzOet, sSVet, SsOet of Msy bro7Vi We regard the above as beautiful sentiment and we are ready to admit that Sally don't haft to take no back seat for anybody when it comes to writ ing pottery. But if there is any dignity in labor we have never noticed it up to date. We never felt any speshial dig nifty coursing through our veins when we was working the handle of our Washington hand press printing copies of the Bugle at the rate of four every half hour including stops in order to 0et the Bugle out on time, or as near On time as possible while the cold swet of anguish stood out on our brow, and ev- cry time we bent over our suspenders would blamed near lift us off our feet We never noticed that there was any partickler dignity about. the labor that consists of cutting briars or blowing with oxes on a stony hillside or lug ging rails to build fence on hot day or workin like horse to keep from l. freezin in winter time. We never ob- dignity about these ttings.
 In conclushion we desire to say even at the risk of being criticised and hav- ng our readers differ from US that cap tol is right if you have got enough of t, but that a little labor goes a great way with most peoph il
