congress at Missoula June 27 and
%, writes as follows; THE work
ing of convicts on the public roads
in the state of Colorado has been
a grand success and during this
biennial period the convicts of
this institution will do at least
$5O0,OOO worth of work on the
public highways of the state of
Colorado at a very small cost.
We are meeting with splendid
success and there is no reason

A HELLO GIRLS
VIEW OF: 1T
Don't Work Yourself Into a
Fret And Sweat She
Advises

The following story of the
Hello" girls woes is printed in
the News by special request:
when the "girlie at central"
says busy" don't let yourself be
worked into fret and sweat;
don't tell her in a language all
freckled with fire, you think her
quite a near approach to a liar.
Don't paw at the carpet and don't
chew the rag, nor roar as bull
when he sees a red flag, nor tell
her in voicing that paints the air
red, you will have her tin-canned
ere the sun goes to bed; but muir
mur in sugary marshmallow words,
twill fall on her ear as the carol
of birds, to please ring you up
when the line is at rest, and then
raise the party of whom you're in
request; and when she replies she
will do so, just hang up the receiv-
er gently and not with bang.
you scolding old fellow, if you
had to bear but half of the hello
girls burden of care, that temper
of yours would explode with a
boom; 'twould scatter each frag-
ments all over the room. They
are often cussed at and growled at
when trying to do just the best
they can to keep service moving
along without a hitch, when sore
heads believe them asleep at the
switch. Sometimes the harsh
words which fall on their ears fill
their throat full of Jumps and
their eyes full of tears. Just do
unto them as you'd have others do
unto sister of yours were she
one of the crew, and you'll find
that your service far better will
be than if by your crossness you
rattle them, see!

Lively Runaway

There were two lively runaways
this afternoon, but luckily no one was
injured and there was but little
damage done. A team driven by Fred
Roth started from the rear of the city
hall and dashed into the alley between
North First and North Second streets.
A horse belonging to TIL. Liedtke,
hitched to delivery wagon, was in
the alley. The team dashed into the
rig breaking the rear board. One of
the horses became entangled in the
wheel and the delivery horse started
and ran down Second street, but was
caught without any further damage.
The farmers team ran through the
alley and collided with a post near
Beurhaus' store, where one of them
fell and the team was caught.

Anent the XnOCker

They never knock a dead one,' is
a headline l saw some place the other
day, says an exchange. It was the
solemn truth. Go into a town and
find man who has powerful enemies
and begin to look around for the
cause. It is generally spelled in one
word, Success" The man has sue
ceeded where others have failed. 1t
may have been in business, it may
have been in politics. 1t is all one
and the same when it comes to invit-
ing the hammer of the knocker. Some
Of the cleanest and fairest men l ever
knew have been for years victims Of
the merciless hammer of the knOcker.
But in the end it is the knocker who
comes out at the little end of the
horn. On the other hand look around
for some fellow who has been a dis
NAL failure all his life. Does he have
powerful enemies who lay awake
nights to knock him? Not much. He
is too small potatoes and few in a
hill. 1t is the live ones, the fellows
who make a success in life, the ones
who do things in a community and
have credit at the banks and stores
who excite the malice of the hammer
wielder. Look around and see if it
