When Captain Hobson told his start

smile and suggest things regarding the
profitable contracts chautauqua pro-
motors make with speakers who can

the artist, and correspondent who ac-
companied the, fleet on its cruises to

that there are only a few military ri
files in the whole of this country, and

the Americans would have nothing but
pitchforks and shotguns to fight them
with. This bears out in q measure
Captain Hobson's vision of a jap army
corps in Omaha.
The president wants more battle
ships. A great many people think he
should have them. They will cost $40
100000, and about the time they have
been finished will have been antiquated

If we must have them for national
safety, it comes to the same thing as

thing to do, order them delivered.
But if we are in such a state as to
small arms, why don't we make a few
to have on hand in case of emergency?
We can raise an army at the wave of
a hand, one that will soon develop into
a fairly good fighting machine, for the

daily journeys by this practice of cut

property owner and especially the one
that takes pride in his lawn. great
worry.
The officials of the city have no
authority to prevent a man cutting
across lots if he so desires and fences
do not intervene. The property owner
has relief by filing complaint against
the persons who are cutting up the
lawn and making footpaths across it
for trespass, but it is easily UNDER
stood that the property owner is
averse to taking action of this kind
The property owner who, thru the
long summer spends many hours in
an effort to have his lawn smooth and
attractive and even beautiful, deplores
the fact that as soon as the grass is
in the seer and yellow thoughtess
people consider it their privilege to
tramp over it in any direction. The
people who keep their lawns trimmed
in summer do so not only to satisfy
their own pride but to beautify the

A PRIMITIVE people.
(Tnledo Democrat)

One can learn much of the early CIV
ilzations by spending a day on the
reservation. 1t is still summer and the
Indians occupy their summer house.
These are made of board walls, reed
roofs and earthen floors. Along one
side of the room is platform where
on the family sleeps. The summer
house has a porch of posts and
thatched roof beneath which the fam
ily spend much of their spare time.
In the winter time the family
moves into the wickiup, or winter
house This is smaller than the
summer house, and composed of
poles and woven flogs and reeds. 1t
is warm and comfortable-for an In
dian. The smoke of the fire finds
the outer cir thru an orifice left
in the center Of the roof.
We requested an invitation to thu
summer house and the owner per-
mitted us to enter. Two squaws
were seated upon the floor Of the
home and ever and anon looked into
a kettle, containing water which

go over to the fire to look into that

we didn't learf with what meat. The
smoke went directly up around the
kettle and out at the roof. 1t if was
dog meat in the kettle 1t could have
been both smoked and boiled.

A COSTLY LESSON.
(Burt Monitor.)

1
| Burt has a case of intempsranc,
that has been occupying the attention
of the public the past ten days, thai
in many ways is pitiful, yet shows the
depths and conditions the curse OF
drink can draw man, a man with the
talent to make place of respect ant
admiration with his fellow men.
A life that could have been made q
good and useful one is shattered and
the victim and his relatives the suf-
ferers.
Burt Is no worse than other towns
but we have an element who strive to
pull down any man who attempts tr
leave the gang and become a better
man. They do all in their power to
have the booze victim stay with them
and fight every steps of advancement
he tries to make
Are the victims of this accursed
habit alone to blame? We think not
Every time man gets drunk every
man is in a measure to blame. And
why? Because the American people
have not the backbone to demand that
it's manufacture be stopped.
In our local case we see bright
little boy robbed of the clothes that
should be his and before the end. no
doubt robbed of a fathers care and
left an orphan to fight his way thru
life, uncared for by those who helped
to ruin his father
There is no language strong enough
to condemn this damnable curse, but
as long as booze is manufactured it
will find men willing to trade their
manhood and brains for it.
Any man, we care not who he is,
who will buy booze for another man or
give booze to Keeleyite, and we have
some who do both, are wholly lacking
in manhood and are not worthy of be-
ing called men.
