~
Mabel" said Henry Middleton, you
and have got to cut down our expens-
es, or there's going to be serious trou-
BILE. We are not only not saving any
thing for the rainy day, but we're
spending more money than am earn
ing. You may be able to figure out how
1t will be possible for US to 60 on doing
that without getting a bump, but l
can't"
What do you suggest?" his wife
asked, trying to be amiable.
I'm the first place, l would suggest
that you cut down on this Christmas
present foolishness. It's all right to.
buy presents for your mother and your
father and perhaps for few-a very
few-of your most intimate friends;
but this thing of sending away car
loads of stuff every Christmas just to
show that you have money to buy out
the stores or to indicate that your
credits good strikes me as about the
worst nonsense imaginable"
Very well, if that's the way you
feel about it, l suppose I'll have to
shut myself up in my shell and forget
that Christmas means anything"
But cutting down on Christmas pres
ents isn't going to be enough. We've
got to economic all along the line.
| You spend too much money on little
things without realizing that the dimes
and quarters that go here and there
amount to anything"
Il suppose you never spend dimes
and quarters without realizing that
they are going to amount to dollars?"
Il have mighty few dimes and quar-
tiers to spend. I'll bet there isn't an
other man in this town with an income
as large as mine who spends less for
his own pleasure than do
Il am sorry you are burdened with
such an extravagant wife as l am. I'll
discharge the cook and do The family

Now, let's not quarrel, dear. Let's

an idea that l think viii help us both
to adopt a course which will save us

count of our personal expense, and ev-
cry night you will look over my list
and I'll look over yours. In that way
We'll both be brought 10 realization
of the money we are frittering away
without noticing it. What do you
say?"
"Oh. very well, If you think | need

You might get a private detective to

There's no use quarreling about It

says folks will persist in over

quence must pay the penalty.
Amos Duncan, our Justly
famed detective, spent Thanks

after an absence of several
weeks. He stated that he had
been hushng corn for farmers
in an adjoining county, but we
learn from an authoritative
source that he had his mail for
warded to q big city in the mid.
die west, where an important
criminal case is being conducted
by the government. Mr.. Dun
oan, true to his profession, is
loath to discuss his private af-
fairs in the public prints, and
accordingly we are not able to
satisfy the craving among our
citizens for authentic informa-
ton concerning his recent mean
derings. However, we are con-
fident that Mr.. Duncan will &C.
quit himself with credit in what
ever mystery he has been apply
ing his talents to.
Bert Naples, our trustworthy

to 20 cents. Mr.. Naples, in
justification of the advance, re-
fers to the action of BARRIERS in
various cities over the country.
He finds further occasion in the
fact that the men in the Valley
are falling into the custom of al
lowing their hair to be undis-
turbed during the winter season.

INSANE ASYLUM IN
! GOOD CONDITION

Fred Cruikshank returned last
Sunday from Black foot, where he
had been attending the quarterly
meeting OF the trustees of the insane
asylum. Mr.. Crulkshank states
that the institution is in excellent
condition and although the nmber
Aof inmates has increased about so
during the past year, all are being
we'll cared for. There were 263 IL
mates IN the asylum on the first of
this month.
n One Improvement made the past
year was the establishment of hos
pital ward which ia under the charge
of trained nurse. This ward will
accommodate ten patients, and 1t is
we'll equipped for the care of the
occupants.
Another Improvement which is
badly needed, says Mr.. Cruikshank,
is ward for the criminal insane, of
which class there are several in the
institution.
The asylum farm, orchard and
garden yielded immense crops last
year. A little over 1000 bushels
Of grain were threshed, the output
