REVERSIBLE ALIMoNY.

A judicial decision which rivals some
of Sancho Panzas rulings in his ISL
ands is reported from Valparaiso, in
the correspondence of a German news
paper. The case was that of the wife
of fisherman and coastwise sailor

child

was hailed before the alcalde and con-
fronted with his wife, who carried the
baby in her arms.
The facts in the case We're undeni-

remained for the Magistrate but to
assess the amount of alimony.

solemnly for a while. Then she asked

THE TRUTH IN CACTUS CENTER

We are crippled, here in Cactus, from
a tidal wave of truth
That set the town up edgeways and
a-fghtin' nail and tooth;
1t was started by Hunger, who declar-
ed plain truth was law,
And we allus orter tell it, like some
chap named G.. 3. Shaw.
We agrees to try the layout that the
tenderfoot suggests,
And the truthful era started, and
sweet peace was in our breasts;
But Bear Hawkins. when Deuce Bid
die made remarks on stealth sheep,
Pulls his old hip pocket Gatlin', and
lulls Deuce away to sleep.
Then Poker Bill got fussy, bein' told
to mend his game,
And the man who dealt the truth out
will allus go some lame;
And ella Hawkins clipped off an ear
from One-Eyed Bland
In the course of argymentin' on an
old time cattle brand.
But when Wah Sing got busy with
butcher knife and hook,
Jest because old Baldtop Smlthy
frankly said he couldn't cook,
We thought twas time to cut short
the truth that brought such strife
So we've bounced the Shaw apostle,
and were back to peaceful life!

To MAKE WAR
MORE HORRIBLE

This Government expends a small
sum each year for testing new devices
of possible military value The Board
of Ordnance and Fertilization is sup
posed to have the duty OF encouraging
inventors and assisting in the develop
ment of their inventions.
Last year only $4,000 was expended by
the board, which, with it's accumulat-
ed allotments Of previous years, has
now on hand more than 100000. Com
naratiyely few experiments are made,
says Harper's Weekly, and the vast
number of suggestions are apparently
shelved without much more attention
than polite acknowledgment to the
authors.
Nearly all the devices submitted are
intended to increase the terrors of war
by adding to the efficacy of the means
of fighting. Perhaps an exception
should be made in favor of an ear pro-
tector. the invention of a New York

for at present they seem to be living
on no street.
There used to he d Merchant street, there
isn't any now,
To call the place a thoroughfare the

So if you think there's such place, and
yet you know not where,
You can just ask Doctor Whitaker, be-
cause he's living there,
asked Dr. Mcsweeney where he lived;
he said he didn't know;
He used to live on Merchant street, but
now it isn't so.
His big fat neighbor Ayerill who lives
across the way,
He is always telling stories when he's
nothing else to say.
Now IL you cannot find them, just be-
cause they're out,
You may find them when they're in
without a doubt.
When you're walking through the place,
boys, either on your hands or feet,
You can simply Just imagine that you're
