War Cry Stopping Booze

"The Irony of Fate,' has often been made the subject of philosophic disser

A shipment of whiskey had been received, and some marauder, with bis nose quicker than his conscience, had found his way into one of the cases, leaving bottle opened. 'We II have to stop up the bottle, and the cork is gone,' said one of the warehousemen to Tim Carroll, the bag. gemaster. "What will we. do'" "Oh, take piece of paper" answered Tim.

Hard Lines in City Jail

City prisoners arc having hard lines, these nights, owing to the fact that there is no money with which to pro vide them with bedding. The city has the use of part of the county court house basement, but the county jail, occupying the east side of the basement, is full, calling for all the bedding the county owns for the prisoners on that side. On the city side, where there are sometimes as many as a dozen or more prisonefs, there are only three or four quilts and not even that many cots, so that it frequently happens that several men have to sleep through the cold night Ou the bare cement floor.

The foundation is already up to the surface of the ground and in a shor; while the house will be water proof, wind proof, fire proof and l09 proof on all sides, removing all danger of the soda fountain freezing up in side.

It, Well. about six months afterward
here came the Teller again and said
a mistake had been made and that
II was the third note that was to be
taken care Of and that I'd have to
pay the second one. This shocked me
a good deal, but he declared by all
that was good and bad that the third
one would give me no trouble, so I
! strained again, doubled the forces OF
my energy and soon met the other
note without sellln my farm. Then
knew / was all right; but, sir, in
due time here came the holder Of the
notes and said that he was sorry to
have made such a mistake but that
the property set aside was worthless
and that I'd have to pay the third
note. This hit me between the eyes,

to work with vim and when | got
through / found that the surplus of
my extra exertion had put me beyond

holder OF the notes was wise man.
He knew that the Teller / had signed

honest and broke; and he knew. also,
that the full knowledge of It, told to
me right off, would crush me. In a
way he was a liar, but both him and
me benefited by 1t. There is such a
thing as bein' a professional truth

looldn' across the field, he saw the
old Teller and his son at work hoein
corn; so he got down off his boss and
trudged across the clods of the field
and came up to where Bowles was
sweatin' under the br'ilin' sun.
There want anybody down at the
house to let me through the gate
