Judge D. P. Dyer on September

the institution, to the United
States marshal, who is wanted
in suit by his creditors. 1t
seems that Tygard was so insane
that the superintendent thought
he could be of no use in court.
The circuit court also declared
him insane, SO he paid no further
attention to the order from the
federal court. Now Dyer wants
the asylum to "show" him. 1t
seems that Tygard's banking
methods at Butler were UNDER
going investigation and it is so
wearied him that he lost his
equilibrium. He was also a

OF ALL SAD WORDS OF TONGUE OR PEN,
THE SADDEST ARE SIT MIGHT
HAVE REENl

That's Just about exactly what man
thinks who builds house for himself
and then can't keep comfortable in it in
the winter. He thinks how different it
might have been if he had only built it
warm in the first place.
Anybody knows that is much cheap
or to build warm house than it is to
heat cold one. Yet thousands of peo-
lsple, who build, lose sight of that fact
and every year shovel hundreds of good
round dollars into their stoves and heat
ersAwhen there is absolutely no need
for it,
None whatever! Now the question is:
When you build house this season are
you going to spend a few dollars more
and build warm, comfortable one or
will you save those few dollars and then
see them, and many more go up the
chimney later, trying to keep yourself
and family comfortable in cold weather?
Decide the question right and you will
have comfort, good health and economy.
Decide it wrong and you will have i'll
health and doctor bills.
You we'll know that there is neither
comfort nor enjoyment living in house
where you have to sit huddled up to q
red-hot stove and at the same time feel
the gentle zephyrs from the north pole
chasing down your spinal column.
1t costs only trifle more to build
your house snug and warm il you under
stand how to build. If you do not H.
A. Hurd will deem it pleasure to assist
you. See him. tt

some of h:s harness. leaving the
horses without any food or water

had devoured q portion Of the
