The Cynic.

The Cynic.
The earnestness with which some
people go into fool fight is evidence
enough
Mr.. Bombastes Furioso looks we'll
in homemade habiliments
The salad dressing of conceit is
little vanity mixed with the vinegar
of inceaDicity and the sweet oil of
your rich neighbours money.
Looking out for ones self first and
your neighbors afterward is the i'm
proper Caper
Doing wrong thing which turns
out to be fool thing makes man
sourer than a gourd
Fellow who knows he's right can
stand a Niagara of criticism without
flinching.
Exaggeration cuts no figure with
the man who wants to carry a point
that hasn't any.
To be really big and great; to really
deserve the plaudits of your neigh
DorS; TO stand tor truth and It's allies,
don't boast-don't be a braggart
There is one man to be relied on.
He listens and acts and puts an
honest half dollar in the plate softly.
Some men cheat themselves by
thinking they render service by loud
talk
If there were not higher and better
things in life than Wrangling, peaches
would grow on huckelberry bushes.
The daring of some men is like the
sheep who follow the bell-wether
They wouldn't know which way to
go by themselves.
The smile that won't come off gen
orally fades when a rap hits home
1t is better to be a hypocrite en-
gagged in a good cause than a fool in
bad one.
The eternal scrap! No really brave
man wants to be in it.
Have you noticed the nerve of men
who are led into an audacious thing?
They think it bravery to follow

HOTEL PORTER A CROOK
Smooth Chap Employed at Night In
Boone Hostility Has Psnehant For
Opening Mail-Thinss Begin TO Hap
pen and He pscamps, Leaving No
Clue.

Special to Times Republican.
Boone, Feb. 2s.-The willy working
of transient night porter OF the
Hotel Hoist has just come to light and
with it's discovery the porter has VAN
ished. The fellow, light haired, good
looking chap, has had charge OF the
work about the office Of the hotel at
night and during the lonely hours when
no one was about he had put in his
time opening mail and when possible
closing and sealing 1t over again, ana
when not possible has destroyed AL
missives tempered with.
The night porter is expected, among
his other duties, to carry Whatever
mail accumulates to the night trains
and mail it, and his duty has been
particularly profitable one to him.
Complaints became SO numerous that
things began to happen
1t was remembered by the clerk that
a short time before this night porter
had asked him to cash cheek and
the clerk. knowing the fellow had not
been paid recently, refused to do so.
He went to the Olmstead clothing store
and out of the check he bought hat
and paid for it. The fellow then went
to a tailor and purchased a ready
made suit. Mr. Olmstead then tel
ephoned to the hotel and made inquir-
les about the check, saying 1t bore the
name of j. l.. Blake. At once Mr. Ohm
stead and Chief Jones went to the
rooms above the Payne livery barn,
where the fellow had been rooming ana
there they found an old cap still
wrapped up and a bundle OF new
photographs of the fellow which ne
had overlooked in his hurried flight.
After this information was received
at the hotel it was remembered that
Mr.. Blake had posted several letters
a night or so ago, and they had not
reached their destination, as IN the
cases Of the other letters.
There is absolutely no clue 10 the
identity OF the chap, but that he is a
regular crook is the conclusion OF All
those about the hotel who had any
thing to do with him. He Is nice
looking. smooth acting fellow and evil
IDENTIFY very clever at the little game Oh
opening mall. There is no question
now as to what became of the mali
sent from the hotel for number OF
DAYS. but whether the fellow can De
traced or not is the next question.
