SINGING CHARMS A SNAKE,

Singing "Nearcr, My God, to

tiesnake that had just crawlcd from
beneath a cushion, upon which one
OF them was seated, out on the Vale
ranch, says Salt Lake paper.
Mrs. F. P. Dunlap, Mrs. Harry
Allison and Mrs. w. A. Vale were
seated on lounge under the trees
when Mrs. Dunlap perceived the
snake. Instantly she thought OF

menced to hum the sacred air and
the others, not knowing why, took
it up. The snake, with head poised,
paused and Mrs. Dunlap slowly
arose and beckoned the others to fol-
low, which they quietly did. After
having gained safe distance the
others discovered what their danger
had been. Armed with clubs, the
women then killed the snake.

TABLES TURNED ON PALMER
lnveterate Joker Gets Real Jolt When
He Bumps up Against
German.

A good story is told of Congress
man Fl. W. (Hank) Palmer of
Wilkes-Barrc, Pa.
Hank has the reputation of being
quite story teller, and is at all
times ready to spring something
funny at the other fellows expense,
but it happened that this time
Hanks joke was turned on himself.
1t was back in the early eighties,
when the scarf stickpins were SO
much in style. Hank purchased a
conspicuously large pin, the design
OF which was potato bug, green in
color. When asked what it was,
Hank would answer, can Irish po-
tato bug"
1t was up to United States Com
missioner Honn Of the same town,
who is typical German, and very
unassuming, to turn the joke on the
funny Hank, who had been having
a lot of fun with his Irish potato
bug, till he ran across the little COM
missioner, who eyed the pin very
closely, but failed to make any re-
mark about it. fearing that IIanl,
had some joke attached to it.
Honn was about TO walk away,
when Hank said to him: "Mr. Honn,
what do you think of my new pin p
Mr.. Honn adjusted his heavy
glasses, scrutinized the pin very
closely, and asked: Hank, vot ISIS

"That's an Irish potato bug" said
Hank.

influence is manifest in the kind OF
food that comes from the lady who

compelled to eat according to style
whether we would or not. Dishes
are brought to us with unpro-
nounceable names and indigestible
ingredients. Where once the
beautiful, white mashed potato
hourished, now sits the deadly sal
ad. The place from where of yore
the ruddy radish .looked blushing
at you, now the sallow celery lifts
up its head. The bitter, hard
shelled olive now swims in the dish
where in bygone days the water
melon pickle sported. And where,
oh my countrymen! has gone that
fast, TRUE friend of our boyl1ood-
the companion Of our youth, that
made the trip with us SO many
times in childhood, around the

gulch and up the hill to the little,

WIFE GETS SEVERE SHOCK
Bundle Of Receipts for Wardrobe
Left by Father Arouses Painful
Comparisons.

A woman who has been married
seven years recently cleaned out a
writing desk drawer that belonged
to her father, whose death occurred
few months ago, and came across
bundle of receipts as big as q
mans arm, tied with red tape and
marked on the outside, "For Mary"
She opened them and saw that
they were receipts for her trousseau
bills. The woman's best dress now
is a 50-cent wool, made by herself,
and she had worn it two years.
When she read in the receipts of lace
she had put on a corset cover that
cost 81 a yard, she grabbed for a
fan, but had fit before she reached
it. She revived somewhat, but again
scattered rugs over the floor when
she read that her wedding gloves
cost her father $50 and her hose
cost him Sal.
She wears 15-cent hose now, and
fairly foamed at the mouth when
she realized that some Of her we'd
ding hose cost So pair. And when
she came across a receipt for sly
for embroidcring a sheet she tore
out all the hair she had pinned on
her head and was beginning on that
which grew there, when a merciful
Inconsistencies overlook her.
Her last thought was of the sum

COUNTY ORGANIZATION ARGUMENT

One of the strongest arguments
III favor of county organization,
and that as speedily as possible, is
that the organization of city
government must wait upon that
of the county. At both Isabel and
here there is urgent need OF incor-
poration, 1t is matter Of the
highest importance that here and
at Isabel, we should have fire linn
its established by ordinance, and
fire protection.
At the present time all that can
be done in this direction must be
done voluntarily. We should have
the use of the taxing power SO all
shall be required to contribute
equally according to their property
interests.
Through the country we need
properly established highways, but
of course the organization OF town.
ships must also follow that of the
county.
If the election could proceed
and the county be organized then
we would be i'll a position to have
city and township elections next
spring, at the dates fixed by law
and therefore have self and civil
government.

1t is only natural that the Indian
population of our county would
feel rather indignant at those per-
sons at Isabel who are directing
the fight against county organiza-
ton, for attempting to disqualify
them as voters. 1t is alleged in
their complaint asking for an in
junction, that certain persons o.
Indian blood, were not eligible to
sign the petition and are not vot-
ers. Not only are the persons
named by them eligible under the

grounds and other outward ap-
pearances Of their property, yet it
should not be totally ignored.
Under the ruling of the interior
department, which is printed else
where in this issue, it is probable
that a large part of the lands re-
naming unentered at the end OF
this month and which will be
thrown open to the general public
on Tuesday. will be taken by
"sQuatters.'
First, because they will be given
the preference as against those
who file at the land offices, and
and second, because they will then
have an opportunity to examine
the lands before entry.
II this is the case there will be a
large number of strangers in town
next week. Before that time the
buildings remaining in. Main street
should be removed and an effort
made, by everyone to clean up
his premises as much as possible,
at least where building operations
have been completed. Let lis
show the strangers a comparative
ly clean little city as we'll as an ex-
tremely busy one.
According TO the figures Of the
census department it appears that
the wonderful prosperity that the
American farmer has enjoyed dur
ing the last few years, has not
stopped the movement Of popula-
ton to the cities. In I84o only
8.5 per cent of the population of
the nation was in the cities, but in
fifty years it had increased ITO CO.,
per cent. The census of 1000
showed 1871 per cent and accord
ing to the figures SO far secured by
the census bureau it looks as the
the last decade would show fur
Their increase, to the great disap-
pointment of the "back-to-the-
farm" adherents.
