Diplomatic Bobby.

Bobby called his mother, 'did you
give your baby brother slice of that
raisin pie?"
''Yessum,' answered Bobby, ''and
mamma, after 1 had given it to him /
noticed that he had the slice with all
the seeds in it."
"You careless boy! Never the least
consideration for your little brother, I
suppose"
'Oh, yes, mamma, I had lots of con-
sideration."
''You did,"
Eyes, indeed. When l saw all those
seeds 1 was afraid they might give
him appendicitis, so l ate his slice,
too"

Laska, was Il hypnotist before he was
admitted to the bar, and has been in

The squire nodded assent He certain

this time we'll. What was the price he
was to pay for this? He said nothing,
but inwardly his brain was busy in vain
conjecture as to what Pearman would
demand as his guerdon for producing such
a transformation scene. The idea Of that

was decided that owing to Mr.. Payne's

HIGH VALUES

It is understood that the reason
the State Board of Prison commits
sioners have lot selected a site Is
owing to the reason that property
holders who own land suitable for a
site are holding it for eXorbitant
prices expecting to reap a harvest
and then retire. The prices asked
for such properties will doubtless be
made known to the Assessor and
county commissioners and the county
will at least have an opportunity OF
securing some additional taxes. Some
people are always ready to stand in
the way of anything that will beneht

SAGE BRUSH
CLUB
Ladies Night at Sage Brush Club
was the Best Yet, and Many
More are Promised

Fully one hundred guests crowded
the rooms of the S~agebrush Clu
Thursday evening 1t being the first
Ladies' Night of the winter months
and In fact the signal of breaking in
to the legarthy which has dominated
the club since sometime last sum-
mer.
Some weeks & ii was evident
that 1t was necessary to have Il shake
up of tae club and II was decided
that the shortest cut to reviving IN
terest was to appoint a lidies com
mittee and have them supervise the
shakeup. The ladies had a meeting
and arranged a program.
They substituted Progressive Five
Hundred in lieu of the somewhat Sc
date and melancholy game OF bridge
watch had on several occasions 1asl
ened down the lid of the club and
damaged the hilarity.
With progressive five hundred
things mix up more generally ana
the sociability becomes more pro
nounced.
There were many ladies who OBJ
;ected to Budweiser and tobacco
smoke and these were also tabooed
and sandwiches substituted with eX-
cellent results.
There was also a musical program
in which Miss Montrosc rendered
some instrumental and Miss Edwards
gave some vocal selections. Both the
ladies' received enthusiastic encores
and Miss Nellie Brougher gave
pleasing recital which was heartily
applauded.
There were seventeen card tables
In full blast and it was agreed Una
the Club never spent a more ENJOY
able evening.
Governor Dickerson won the hrsd
prlze for gentlemen with a score Oh
over three thousand and Mrs ire
mont won the ladies' prize with a
score of over two thousand.
All the scores will be kept al
the end Of the season the winners
will receive a very substantial prize
II was agreed from this time on

appear upon the books of both banks
and add and subtract, and the bal
ance will SHOW the amount. That
would take but a very short time.
But Mr.. Boyd proposes to prove that
fact by process Of elimination. as
he calls it. 1t is simply beating
around the bush. Figures will not
lie, but liars will figure, as was well
said in the case of the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company wherein the
company figured that for the pur-
poses Of assessment the road was
worth $4,000 a mile, but for pur-
poses of declaring dividends they
figured. by another set of experts,
that it was worth over 500, 900 a mile.
I utterly deny that any published
report TO the effect that any testi-
mony had to be dragged out of the
witnesses. They testified from the
books, and as Mr.. Boyd admits we
must prove everything from the
books, and as l aver he was offered
free access to the books and all pap
ers relating to the subject matter at
any time during Office ours.
