If the people wish to have the
school term cut down to nearly half
what it is now, and the taxes on
the bonded indebtedness OF the dis
trict almost doubled, they can gain
that end by allowing the Nickel dis
trict to be cut off. If they want the
school to go on as at present, and
want to keep their taxes down to
what they are now, then they want to
get busy and undo what they have
done by signing the Nickel petition
1t has been said that you could circu-
late a petition TO hang a certain man
in the community and get plenty Of
signers and that you could then take
it to the man himself-and he would
sign it. From the manner in which
our people have signed the petition
to divide their own district, giving
more than half the territory away, it
would seem that the above assertion
is not so far wrong after all. 1t is up
to the people of Saratoga to act, and
to act quickly, if they want to save
their school district.

The Tenth Legislative Assembly
will go down in the history Of Wyom.
ing as one of the best working bodies
the state has ever known. The sen
ate was, as 1t always is, composed OF
quiet conservative men who look well
after the interest of their constituents,
The house, however, which is gener-
ally a noisy, boisterous body, was
composed of very earnest, hard-work-
ing, able and conscientious men dur
ing the session just closed. They
were all business and were a fine
body of men. If Wyoming could al
ways lie sure of men of such brains
and ability to a her laws she
could consider herself very fortunate,
as it is ARE that so conscientious,
pains taking a body of men are got

previous experiences, he mounted
steadily to the top. The descent was
made with even more care and steadi-
ness. for he did not wish to tear the
skin from his hands again.
Now, VIM" he said, as he neared
the bottom and sprang down, leave
the cooking to Miss Leslie, and husk
some of those nuts. You won't more'n
have time to do it before the stew
is ready"
Winthrope's response was to draw
out his penknife. Blake stretched
himself at ease in the shade, but kept
a critical eye on his companions. Al
though W~inthrope's fingers trembled
with weakness, he worked with a pre-
cision and rapidity that drew a grunt
OF approval from Blake. Presently
Miss Leslie, who had been stirring the
stew with a twig, threw in a little
salt. and drew the pot from the fire.
En- avant, gentlemen, Dinner is
served" she called gayIy.
Whats that" demanded Blake.
"oh; sure. Hold on, Miss Jenny.
You'll dump it all"
He wrapped a wisp of grass about
the pot, and filled the three ocoanu
bowls. The stew was boiling hot;
but they fished up the oysters with
the bamboo forks that Blake had
carved some days since. BY the time
the oysters were eaten, the LIQUOR in
the bowl was cool enough to drink
The process was repeated until the
pot a been emptied of its contents.

murmured Blake. IF only we'd had

When they finished the cocoanuts

enough liquid refreshments to do anv

The Sun is giving up most of it's
space this week to a list of the acts
passed by the Tenth Legislature. 1t
does so because of the fact that the
measures passed are the most i'm

Legislature and we believe it impor-
tant that our readers should at least
have a list of the measures and the
subjects covered.

One of the most important meas
ures passed by the Tenth Legislature
was the law creating the Office of
Tax Commissioner. This step, fol-
lowed up, as it will be, by other en-
actments along the same line, will
place Wyoming in the ranks of other
progressive states in the matter of
taxation which is really the most i'm
portant subject which we as a state
have to deal with.

up New York newspaper, he espied
an article telling of the arrest on a
murder charge of an innocent young
man, the scion of an old and respect
able wealthy family, from whom the
police had wrung a false confession
after subjecting him to hours of ply
sical and mental torture, 1.-The third
degree" and thereby eXhausting his
energies to such an extent that he be-
came temporarily an imbecile and re-
peated, parrot-like, the words put into
his mouth by his prosecutors. From
this incident the playwright gained in
spiration for his play, THE Third De-
gree" and odd as it may seem, he was
in Cairo, Egypt, at Sheppard's hotel,
where he executed his work that has
already revolutionized the methods of
overzealous police officials of the

A PAPLBALE HIT

The late Thomas Bone, "the sailor
missionary" was the soul of kindness,
but he had a keen wit, and a ready
tongue, too. An instance given in his
recently published life is the following;
His work was not without its
humorous side. Among the new men
there were always some who sought
little amusement at his expense, but
they reckoned without their host. His
kindly manner never changed. The
smile never left his face. There was
no venom in the retort, but it seldom
failed to silence the interrupter. The
laugh raised at his expense made it
quite certain that no second attempt
would be made.
Seeing him approaching one day
one of a group of sailors announced his
intention of having some fun. He
stepped forward and removed his hat,
revealing a perfectly smooth crown,
and asked:
"'Can you tell me why my head is
so bald, while my companions have
plenty of hair?'
"I don't know, was the smiling re-
ply unless the reason given me the
other day by a farmer would apply,
that an empty barn is not worth
Shingling.'
