Mack Gretchen: The Santa Fe has
adopted the pension system for it's en-
ployes. Pretty good old Santa Fe, even
If we do have to walk. Too many
people go through life on the seeming
theory that if God will do his best for
them they will manage to do the
rest. &. When Stubs voted for
Curtis for senator last week we watched
him closely and are of the opinion that
he mad his fingers crossed.
1t has been our observation that you
need not fear the man who takes time
to put off his coat and roll up his
sleeves before going into a fight
Men are always finding something
to quarrel about. says Squire Thrifty,
in the Newton Journal We once knew
of case where farmers hogs got
out and went foraging over on neigh
boris sweet potato ridges. The neigh
Dor very patiently put in a half day
driving the hogs slowly home. When
he was close enough he hailed the own
er of the hogs, and then helped drive
the animals into the pen and repair
the fence. The owner then found fault
with his neighbor because one hog had
run and become overheated, calling him
stingy. and insisting that it wouldn't
have put him out much to have hitched
up and hauled the hogs home. Learn to
be patient with human beings, they are
perVerSe creatures. -

didate for congress, agrees to let other
candidates have space in his paper the

I'VE print the announcement of D. r.
Anthony. This paper is not for him
it is not for any candidate-it wants
the people to consider every candidate
and vote for the one they think will
suit them best. To get before the peo-
pie the candidates will have to adver-
tise in the newspapers-as they ought
to do-and they are all able and willing
to pay for their advertising Not one
is barred from this paper and we'd like
to have some advertising matter from
each and every one. Each can say
what he likes
couple of colored gentlemen from New
ton were in the city Monday and were
giving eating exhibitions. They ina gin
ed they were the champions of the
southwest but had to take back seat
when John Horton, the fnvincible of
Wellington and barring none in the
world, entered the race. When it comes
to eating John Horton is certainly the
limit. He gave an exhibition Monday
night which is only a starter to what |
he claims he can do. He started in on |
soda crackers first and devoured 80 of
them in short order. He then ate one |
dozen eggs, shells and all, putting two |
in his mouth at one time and wanted to |
bet that he could eat two dozen more |
and finish up the evenings repast by |
eating a dozen bananas.
