But the indignant burglar slayer
didn't wait to hear any more He
left and walked into his house like a

Mrs. BowSer said to herself that he

NO; ! am simply a humble house

to may have its beginning right in this

But how do you mean?' asked the
puzzled Mrs. Bowser.
Il mean that burglars should not be
left to the courts but to the coroners.
In other words, they should be killed
on the spot Householders should
slaughter them right and left until the
profession becomes extinct. Give them
to understand that ii is sure death to

OUR good republican friend, Mr.. Sam
j. Bell, republican nominee for sheriff,
is said to have two cards up his sleeve.
When he meets a strong republican he
presents him with a card on which is
printed Sam J. Bell, republican nomi-
nee for sheriff." but when he runs
across a weakened democrat he hands
him one which says vote for Sam ].
Bell for sheriff" and the man who gets
the card has to find out from some 9TH
er source to what party Mr.. Bell be-
longs. This card has on one side a good
picture Of Mr.. Bell while on the other
side it is shown how the voter can vote
for that gentleman and scratch the rest
Of the republican ticket if he so desires.
He hopes to catch 'em a-coming and a
going but we shall see what we shall
