Doing Business

The Hugus people are not doing
business at the old stand, but they
are doing business just the same.
Temporarily the old Scott building IL
being used and all local orders are
being filled.
After the fire the Oldland company
placed its stock at the disposal Of
the Hugus company.
A great deal of merchandise In the
Hugus. warehouse was only slightly
damaged, and that, with the kindly
aid Of the other big business house,
enabled the company to resume busi-
ness almost the very next day. Their
machinery and grain warehouses
we're not damaged at all.
In the meantime trainlOad Of gro
ceries and necessaries are on the way
from Denver. These goods will begin
arriving about the early part Of next
Week.

The Tramp Printers Revenge

The, last issue of the Lamar Sparks
contains some comments by the edi-
tor, Joe Lawless, on the completion
Of that estimable journals twenty
fourth birthday anniversary.
Among other things, Joe notes the
following early day episode:
+" Now and then, though,
we made mistakes, and one Of them /
remember with great vividness. IL
was letterhead for the Alamo no.
tel. of which George w. Walters WAS
the proprietor. Old-timers will re-
member the house. 1t was a large
frame building, standing just south
Of the present passenger depot, and
bugs seemed to take kindly to 1t.
None of the boarders who were initi-
ated ever left calls to be awakened in
the morning. They knew that they
would be up long before they wanted
to be.
"A tourist printer, Of the artistic
type, set up the letterheads, and they
were duly printed and delivered. The
next day Mr.. Walters, in consider
able excitement, showed up at the
Office with copy Of the letterhead
and shouted, That's peach of
way to advertise my hotel, isn't it?'
Peach may not have been the word
he used, but it was something inst as
strong. His complaint, however, was
justiflable. Ornaments were the vogue
then, and that tourist had put two
potato bugs or beetles on each side Of
the main display line. And nothing
would convince the mad hotel man
that they were not bedbugs, put there
by the printer rs revenge for sleep
less night passed in the famous hos
telry."
Say, old man, don't get gay and
swellup on your hoary headed ancient
ness. Why, last August THE HER
AID had its twenty-flfth anniversary,
and while we had many things Of ye
olden times to note, we never had the
pleasure of being called down for
putting ''thing-um-a-jig9ers" that re-
sembled bedbugs on our output Of ho-
tel stationery. Our hotels over here
on White river were always on the
Waldorf-Astoria order.

Whenever you meet stranger, jolly
him. Tell him that this is the great

discourage him by speaking i'll Of
