How to Make Mischief

Keep your eyes on your neighbors.
Take C are of them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They NAV
do something wrong if you do. To
be sure you never knew them to do
anything bad, but it may be on your
account thev have not. Prehaps il
it had not been for your kind care
they might have disgraced them
selves long ago. Therefore do not
relax any effort to keep them where
they ought to be. Never mind your
own business-that will take care of
itself. There is a man passing along
he is looking over the fence-be sus-
picious of him; prehaps he contem-
plates stealing some of these dark
nights, there is no knowing what
queer fancies he may have got into
his head.
II you find any symptoms of any
one passing out of the path OF duty
sell every one else what you see, and
be particular and see great many.
1t is IL good way to circulate such
things it NAV not benefit yourself
or any one else particularly. Do
keep something eoing-siIence is a
dreadful thing; though it is said there
was silencs in heaven for the space
of half an hour, do not let such a
thing occur on earth; 1T would be too
much for this mundane sphere.
If, after your watchful care you
connot see that they have done any
thing bad, throw out hintstha5 they
are no better thtn they should be
that you sh )uld not wonder if peo-
pie found out who they are after
while, then they may not carry
their heads so high. Keep it going
and some one may take the hint and
begin and help it along after while
then there will be music, and every
thing will work like a charm.
Follow the above directions and
you will be pretty sure to make
plenty of mischief. The Tomahawk

Cussde is Being Carried on
With the Utmost Vigor.
All Should Help.

The Anti-tuberculOsis crusade
of the Modern Woodmen of
America and their immense Sana-
torium at Colorado Spring, Colo,
have established for this society
national fame. It's history and
progress are we'll known to all
members of this fraternity, and
even among others. A great
portion of it's success is due to
the com bined effort of the differ
ent camps of the society, and
their liberal donations. A great
many camps have individually
donated sufficient for the pur-
chase of a tent complete for oc.
cupany at the Sanatorium. A
movement is now being made by
the Camps of Bayfield, County to
purchase tent to be placed
there. This would be a great
honor to the Camps of the Coun-
ty, and would show that they
are not behind the rest of the
localities who are helping to wage
this great fight against the
"white plague. The Mason
State Bank has been receiving
funds for this project and re-
ports that nearly all ofthe camps
have now responded and that it
expects to forward the funds to
the Sanatorium management the
latter part of this month.

The following scrap was
picked up the other day and
probably some school boys
composition. '"The human
body is made up of the head,
thorax and abdoman.'' The
head contains the brains if
there is any. The thorax
contains the heart, lungs and
diagram. The abdoman con-
tains the vowels of which
there are ive-a, e, i, o, u and
sometimes W and y.
It is mighty mean to pat
rOnize a merchant who will
trust you until you get so far
into debt to him that you are
ashamed to see him, and then
go and spend your money
somewhere else where you
could not get credit; but there
are people who do it. The
honorable way would be to
spend your cash with the mer-
chant who trusted you, even
if you never expected to
square up the old account.

The slide occurred in Culebra cut

There are 500, 900 cubic yards of
earth and rock slowly moving down
