Cause they aint no use on earth,
You just be a booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're worth.

Don't hold back and wait 90 see
If some other fellows willin'
Sail right In, this country's free;
No ones got a mortgage on IL,
It's just yours as much as his,

And the world seems kinder wrong
What's the matter with a boostin'

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

There is more or less hesitation aris-
ing out of the somewhat spectacular
Mexican situation. comments Henry
Clews. AT this writing there is no oc-
casion for taking alarm. Should the
Mexican government show itself in
capable of putting down the insurrec-
tion, il may be necessary to call upon
American forces TO restore order.
Under such contingencies il is pre- -em-
inently our duty TO undertake that
task II is also our duty to prevent aid
TO the insurrection from the United
States. Mexico is our near neighbor
American interests there are very inn
portant estimated at billion TO bill
lion and a half of dollars. our Monroe
Doctrine imposes upon us certain OBJ
legations which it is fitting we should
be prepared TO carry out especially as
foreign countries might have TO inter-
fere if we did not. 1t follows that II
we are unwilling 10 see foreign powers
protect their interests in Mexico by
force, we must assume that response
bility ourselves. II is evident that
some difficulties have developed which
are at present unknown to the public
to make such an energetic display Of
force as it has done during the past
week In all probability this presenta-
tion Of a firm front will tend to solve
the problem more promptly If only TO
stir the Mexican government itself
into more energetic methods of deal
ing with the insurgents.

A New Settlement
- And How 1t Came to
Be Made
By CAROLINE A. TRIP
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation, 1911.

There were portions Of the wild and
woolly weston what was formerly
the wild and woolly west-for the
silken mantle Of civilization is fast
spreading over the whole land-where
the dividing line between honesty and
dishonesty was not distinctly marked
The priyations were great, and many
Of the people found it difficult to make
living. There was no law to keep
the honest separated from the dishon-
est, and this alone tended to obliterate
the dividing line.
One day two plainsmen went to
land Office to enter some land While
there one of them told the following
story:
Last week." he said, "me and Josh
was moyin toward the mountings on
prospecting trip. We had two good
ridin' hosses and a pack boss. One
day we found a fine campin' ground
beside a stream whar the trout was
jlst jumpin' outen the water to be
ketched, and we concluded to rest thar
couple o. days. So we pitched our
tent and got out our cookin' kit and
calc'lated TO spend the time like ma
bobs.
'"rhe next afternoon, when we was
layin' off smokin' our pipes, we saw a
couple o. men comm outcn the timber
on the crick. Ketchin' sight of us, they
turned at fust, but we hollered to 'em
TO come on, and they jined us. They
was youngish chaps, neither ov 'em
havin yit growed n beard. We Of
fered 'em the demijohn, but they didn't
seem to relish liquor much; mebby
they wasn't old enough to have
learned. We offered 'em pipes. but
they didn't seem inclined TO smoke
neither
''They told us they was in camp In
n patch Of timber a ways down the
crick, and after stayin' awhile with us
they went away.
"'What dye s'pose them kids is ado
in over yereY says Josh when they
was gone.
They're boss thieves l says.
GLOSS thieves. They don't look
| nuthln' like boss thieves
Like enough they belong TO some
family as is mighty hard up. and the
only way for sich in this yere country
TO make haul is TO run Off hosses, sell
| 'em and stock up. Wen picket the

country was lit up like day. Me and

must "a been. then turned in. We was
awakened by hcarin' the stock rushin'
this way and that way tryin' TO break
the ropes, and we heard whoops like
Indians, only they was more like
squaws and papooses than bucks
Then come shots. The hosses was
nigh crazy with fright. but we had tied
'em so strong they couldn't get away

MAPLE SUGAR TIME.
Some Suggestions From an Expert in
Regard to Tapping Trees.

Maple sugar time is approaching
and settlers i'm the vicinity of Calu-

drawing Of sap and manufacture of
sugar. Although the industry is not
as great i'm this vicinity as in some
sections of the country a large am

homesteaders who add To their income
by engaging in the industry is increas-

The weather governs the time To tap
trees, but ii is usually about the first
of April in this section. Warm wealth

and start the sap up. A method often

has made it plain that some sort Of a
