ALL KINDS OF FOOLS.

III sing little snatch of song
About the fools that come along.
There's many fools of many minds
The harmless fool and other kinds.
Most pitiful and most forlorn,
The fool in that condition born
The idiotic, staring fool,
With brain as dull as any mule.
Poor man ! 'Tis not his fault alone
In other lives the seed was sown:
We should not laugh at such a
No doubt he does the best he can.
You've seen the fool upon limb,
And saving 'twixt the tree and
him;
Also the fool who thought it fun
10 blow into a loaded gun.
One other fool that despise
Believes that he is very wise;
L have no doubt that you recall
The tlresome fool that knows it all.
The business fool will scheme and
plan
A thousand ways to cheat man,
And cannot see that in the end
He'll die without a single friend.
Another place for fools to mix
Is in the field of politics;
They hate the truth and love a lie,
And some sell votes and others
Bless goodness, I must not forget
IN Inc t. tools that form the social set;
Ot all the fools that sin has nursed.
The fools of fashion are the worst
They grab old Reason by the
SnOut,
And jerk him down and throw him
out,
And high on Fashions rottea
throne
Old Mistress Folly reigns alone.
Religious fools of every kind
1t is not difficult to find
50 many gods, SO many creeds,
That do not satisfy our needs.
lhe list is long, and yet they sa,
New fools are sprouting every day;
The Fool-Killer biffs 'em one by
one,
And yet its task is never done.

SEND FOR THE GRANNY.
QUICK!

In clawing around through Gre
alton in search of more fools to
skin, rested my roaming lockers
on the name of one George w.
Carey. I have had this sorry cuss
hung up on N.Y. victim-rack for
several weeks, but | have put off
the skinning operation because
he stunk so bad that I dreaded to
tackle him.
Now this wandering, wild eyed
fanatic who goes around with a
Or" label pasted prominently
on his putrid personality, has
kindly condescended to give the
waiting world his own original
version of the moon question.
According to DR.. Carey's bow
legged belief, the sun is the
daddy of all the planets and this
old earth of ours is the nanny
of them. He says that all planets
are born of the earth in the same
manner that man is born of
woman. The South Pole is the
womb of the earth, and the suns
rays act upon it in such a way as
to cause a conception. Then a
new world is born. Doc says the
moon is the youngest child of the
earth, but there is going to be
another one born about the year
1915.
And SO that's the way it's all
done! Well, well! How very sim
ple! Strange we hadn't found it
out before. Much obliged to you,
Doc, for giving us whole box of
wisdom pills at one dose.
But you haven't explained
why some of the earth's children
are so much bigger than their
nanny. Jupiter and Saturn
they are several hundred times
bigger than the earth, so astron-
omers tell us. Guess they must
take after their daddy in size.
Is that it?
Now, reader, are you satisfied
on this point? If not, must take a
dickens of a sight to satisfy you.

Talk, Talk, Talk, Talk.

| recently saw a newspaper
article with the above heading. I
didn't read the article, and don't
have any more idea than hog
what it was about.
But the head caught me, and |
said to myself, There! Guess
iii just hook that heading and
use it as a new fall bonnet for
one of my own preachments."
Talk, talk, talk, talk.
And then get a long breath and
talk some more.
1t takes talk to run the world.
And don't wonder at it, for
lots of the talk I hear is enough
to run most anything.
1t nearly runs me crazy some
times.
Don't bother to think, but just
talk.
Thinking tires the thinker, but
talking only tires the listener,
and that don't matter.
Therefore talk.
Talk early and often. late and
loud.
Go into the office where people
are busy, crank your mouth and
put it to work.
The boss pays his hands to
listen at you talk.
And they enjoy it.
If somebody else is talking
about something of Importance,
that's just the time for you to
butt in. Crack away and tell 'em
you know more about it than
they do.
Ihat>S good manners.
It don't matter whether you
know anything or not make a
bluff and pretend that you know.
The less you know the more
you should talk.
Make up in talk what you lack
in knowledge, and maybe you
will fool somebody into thinking
you are smart.
Exercise is good for the
tongue therefore let it wag.
Tell 'em your name is Mr..
Gabby-Jack from away up Long
tongue Greek.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES!
Geeminy goodness!

Geeminy goodness!
Ouch!
Oh!
III just be consarned if it don't
get wusser and wusser all the
time!
The cry has been for two battle
ships year.
And that was just two a year
more than we had any earthly
use for.
But now here come Joe See
Fuss Dan Yells, Secretary of the
Navy, and wants us to build three
dreadnaughts year instead of
two.
He wants them to be the big
gest fighting ships ever built, and
he wants one of them named
North Carolina'' in honor of his
native State.
Honor, your FOOT!
Say, can't think of anything
that | would consider a bigger
disgrace to the State than to have
one of these internal contrapshuns
named after it.
And, hang-take it, amt there
already one of the things named
after North Carolina?
And amt that aplenty?
Whenever the Old North State
gets burdened with any more
honor of that kind, it will be
about time for her to sneak off
behind the cow-shed and be right
plum downright ashamed of her
self.
Three dreadnaughts a year
would cost at least thirty-six
million dollars a year to build, to
say nothing of the annual up-keep.
And they wouldn't be worth a
drled-apple cuss to anybody.
Now, instead of wasting that
$36, 900, 900 year, suppose we
could use it in building good roads
all over the country.
What would be the result?
Why, bless your soul, mister,
that would give US at least 10000
miles of good road every year.
enough to reach five times across
the entire country.
That would be worth something.
But battleships!
Lord pity us!

$21 PER TON FOR HAY

Below we print genuine letter
from a southern Idaho rancher to
his home paper, in which he ex-
plains how he received such a hand
some price for his alfalfa.
Il thought it might be of some in
terest to know what a few Jersey
cows will do in this country.
We are milking five cows now
and the month of December We sold
$50. 40 worth of butter and milk. The
month of January we sold $57.75
which is pretty good for this time
of year when there is nothing else
to do. And we do not feed any.
thing but alfalfa hay which Is not
very expensive so that there Is a
good profit left for our work. One
COW will eat about one half ton
of hay per month, with hay at $500
a ton it will cost $3.50 per COW pei
month which would leave between
81 and So q COW; or in other words
it would be marketing your hay fol-
$21.00 per ton. We are also raising
two calves and some shoats with
the separated milk. / think the
dairy COW Is going to be a great
help in developing this country. ~

NEW MAP OF IDAHO

The Interior Department has had
in course of preparation new map
of the State of Idaho, which it was
originally intended should have been
published last year. The map, how
ever, has not been completed, though
it is nearing completion, and in view
of the fact that additional counties
have been created in Idaho by the
present Legislature, Representative
French has asked the Department to
withhold the final publication of the
map until the Department may be
advised of all the new counties anc
changes in county lines that may be
made by the present legislature
This, the department has agreed tc
do, and Mr.. French has been called
upon to furnish the Department witt
a copy of each act having to do with
new counties or boundary lines.

CANNOT GET THE NOMINATION
Pronounced Sentiment Against Form.
err President, Particularly BY
Scandinavians Of Minnesota

Washington, d. c. Feb. 18-The
feeling is quite general in the East
that an amalgamation Of the Repub-
licans and Progressiyes will soon be
consummated, as is evidenced by the
frequent statements that are being
made by leaders of both factions.
Ormsby McHarg, of New York, who
previous to the Chicago Republican
convention, was one of the most ac-
live lieutenants of Colonel Roosevelt,
recently made this statement which
was published in Washington pap
err: "Col. Roosevelt will not, in my
opinion, ever again become a can
didate for President. Not that he
might not aspire to the Presidency,
but because he cannot again get a
nomination. | have just been thru
the Northwest, and | discovered a
very pronounced sentiment against
he former President, practically
among those who supported him in
the last election | found this con-
spicuously evident in Minnesota
among the Scandinavians, who voted
for Roosevelt in large numbers. The
whole reason for the loss of popular
ity by Roosevelt is his utterance at
the Chicago meeting, following the
November election, when he declared
that if the Progressive party accom-
plished nothing else, it beat the Re-
publicans. The voters Of the North
west resent this attitude on the part
of Roosevelt. They say that they
voted for Roosevelt because they be-
lieved him to be a Republican, and
not because he was against the Re-
publicans, and now they declare that
they will see to it that henceforth
they vote the Republican ticket"
President Taft, declared at a ban
quet given at Philadelphia in honor
Of Abraham Lincoln by the Union
League Club, that if Abraham Lin
coin were alive today he would be
joined in line with the Republican
Party, and said that he hoped to see
that element of the party which de-
serted the standard last fall swing
back into line again, to insure the
continuation for SO years more of the
policies of that party.

Old Age

Old age as 1t comes in the order

and majestic thing. 1t stands for ex
perience, knowledge, wisdom, coun
sci. That Is old age as it should be
but old age as it often is means
poor digestion, torpid bowels, slug
gish liver and general feeling OF
Ill health, dependency and misery
This in almost every instance is
wholly unnecessary. One of Cham
berlain's Tablets taken immediately
after supper will improve the diges
ton, tone up the liver and regulate
the bowels. That feeling of despond-
ency will give way to one of hope

ton OF the Atchison. Topeka Sc Santa Fe

minimum carload weight on grain prod
ucts, salt. cement and various other com
modites from $4,000 pounds to 10000

The application was made by J. r.

that the Increase In the minimum weight
OF loaded cars was the only feasible solu-
ton of the annual car shortage problem,

increase the minimum weight to so, 600
pounds, but after an extended hearing
before the commission modified applca-
ton fixed the desired weight at 80. 900
pounds.
Many dealers in grain products protest

FURNISH BOND

county jail yesterday morning on $4,000
bond. The surety for her appearance

Following her release. Mrs. Inflow made
a detailed statement of her movements

which the murder was committed.
Pertinent points Of her statement are
that her husband had induced her to

STRIKE THREATENED
At SOLDIER SUMMIT
Contractors Say, However,
That They Do Not Antici-
pate Serious Trouble.

According to advices received in Salt
Lake a strike is threatened among the
workmen employed on the detour at
Soldier Summit where the grade of the
Denver G. Rio Grande railroad is under
going n change.
The dispatches received say that
fully 1000 workmen are ready TO leave
their places. although local officials OF
the railroad and also of the Utah Con-
struction company, which is in charge
OF the work, deny that the trouble IS
Of any magnitude.
A. II. Christensen, n director OF the
Utah Construction company. who, has
been actively supervising the work on
the detour, when asked regarding the
reported strike and demands, last night
said,
The members OF the l. W. w have
been trying to agitate the men down
there on the work for. several days
talking and spouting as they do here
on the streets Last night number
OF the men who arc employed on the
night shift did not go out to work.
but they made no demands or me
OF any of the sub contractors TO my
knowledge. The situation does not
seem to be ala armlug, for while there
were somewhere between 100 and zoo
men who did not go TO work las,
| believe all Of the day force VIII be
on hand tomorrow.
Some of the ]. w. w, men are re-
ported TO have made threats, and
there is no way TO protect the men to
advantage there on the night shit.
Then a number feared trouble and
would go TO some other camp rather
than to be mixed up on either side OF
a strike. The agitators were laughed
at by many of the men and l think
they will not cause us any serious
trouble.
There has been talk among the agi-
tators about nine hours and $3.50
day but no demands have reached
us AS a matter OF fact, only few
trackmen get s2.25 q day, and that
is the minimum. Teamsters and most
of the employees get $3.50 a day or
more. The agitators may annoy us
and cause us some delay, but do not
fear n strike.
The Utah Construction company
has but two camps there and employs
only about 225 men. The rest OF the
work is let to sub contra ctors, and
believe there are about 1900 men en-
ployed on the detour work.

When She Got Taxi.

My husband also told me to return
from the Schneider home and go to
the rooming house, where we had
engaged n room, and that he would
come to me as soon as he had talked
with White,

West Seventh South street. I told
him as near as I knew the number
of the place. I left the car at the en-
trance to the court In which the
Schneider home is. I did not go to
the home, but walked back TO the
corner and took the next car for the
center OF the city.
Mr. Inflow came into the room
which we had engaged some time
later; could not say just what time
he came In.
When Mr.. Inflow returned to the

agreed to the suggestion, as there
was considera BILE noise In the room
Ing house and felt that he was tired
My husband did not tell me the
result Of his talk with White. or If he
had met him. l was so tired that
did not ask him.
We must have arrived at the
Schneider home about l o'clock In the
morning or a little later.
The first time that 1 knew that
Eddie" White had been murdered,
or that my husband was suspected
OF the murder, was the next morning.
when | was informed in the office OF
his attorneys that Mr. White had
been found dead and that my hus-
band had been arrested.
