OBSERVATIONS ! 4 [

1t is reported that the president
had plenty to eat at breakfast set
before him at Macon. Ca, and 1t in
cluded waffles. quail, fried chicken
and grits. A very modest set for a
president. But, one other thing was
provided-a' mint julep. This the
president smiled upon but refused the
tempting connection. Possibly the
president knows just what will agree
with him. To turn down mint julep
at breakfast must have caused the
host much trepidation, thinking, no
doubt, the conventions were violated.
Greeley intends to increase its
limits by one hundred acres. One
hundred acres can hold great num-
ber of people. This ground once COW

the city resident. May the town grow
as well. as the crops in that section

divorce because he roared at her
and threw tables. If he roared at
her he must have been something of
a lion and to throw tables requires
prodigious strength. Perhaps he Is
reincarnation of Sampson. The
lady, instead of having him shorn of
his strength by cutting his hair, went
into court and had the knot that
bound them severed by a process
now all too common.
The Colorado & Southern railroad,
it is said, will install block system
of signals on all it's roads and sub
stitute telephone for telegraph dis
patching. This ought to secure great
er safety to the travelling public and
the instillation of progress.
This settles it. Wu Ting Fang de-
clares women will ultimately gain the
ballot. WI does not know everything,
but if the ladies wish to follow him
in his franchisement plans. all right
but WI was ever joker and little
misguided at times. Wu is hardly i
true prophet nor, a sen of one, still,
who knows. When the men choose to
give over their right to the ballot to
the women, then and no sooner will
they receive that for which just ten
per cent of the women are clamorous
A paper has an article on the cor
rect mourning for men. This Is too
much of an assumption that grief
is affected. If reform is necessary,
why not white or red or even blue?
Black means death. The possibility
of future happy life should be sym
bolized in bright colors not 5omber

A woman down in Pueblo says her
husband beat her with an iron. The
provocation must have been great. A
common stick or club has generally
been the usual instrument of chas-
tisement for women married to brute
husbands.
Thomas w. Lawson, after being
quiet fer long time, has again come
to the surface. His stock progno5ti
cations are again a feature. What
Thomas does not know about stocks

vice of the spectacular speculator.
A man with university education
and who can speak five languages
stole an overcoat in Chicago, then
sold it in order to buy food. So this
is a hint that higher education Is
impractical? Education had nothing
to do with his downfall 1t is not pre-.
sumed that man without education
would have dared apply for work at
the places visited by this highly edu
Gated unfortunate. The excuses were
that he was hardly practical enough
for ordinary everyday work. Charact-
er, personality and individuality have
a great deal tc do with success in
life.
a. cheap watch nine years ago. He
recovered the same. One of his cows
was put to the knife. Judge of his
surprise to find his watch in the ami.
mails stomach, nothing amiss for its
lcng Incarceration, except that 1t had
lost two hours. The farmer thinks
the breathing of the COW kept the
watch wound up. The twp hours diff
ference in time. in nine years, might
be accounted for in that the COW
did not breathe regularly at times.
All this goes to show that Con-

winding watch are truly remarkable
