RELAPSE FROM VICE
The Tramp Printers Common
place Take" and Story He
Added Thereto.
BY DANIEL sERGIL.

When Bud Williams blew into the
Palladium office one cold winter day
he was received with an -effusiveness
which nearly took him off his feet.
Not that Bud did not understand the
situation. Only it was rather unusual.
He knew that old Bently did not en-
thuse over his appearance because OF
brotherly love but that the editor was
very shy of printers.
+ Bud was no stranger in the Palla-
dunn Office. Indeed, it was one of his
regular stops. He invariably came Gas
he arrived in all the other towns on
his somewhat extensive route) in a
state of mental, moral and physical
and financial collapse. He generally
got a case at once as he was a light
ming compositor and in a week or two
would knock out strings that would
make the regular fellows green with
envy. But when he got his money
generally at the end of the first week,
surely at the end of the second-well,
that was the end of him for the pres
ent. He tagged John Barleycorn at
once and never wavered in his allie
glance until all his money was gone,
at which time the chances were he
was in condition to be hauled before
the police magistrate and receive a 20
day sentence on the stone pile or, IL
the lookup was crowded, be given two
hours to get out of town. Then we
would see him no more for months.
On this particular occasion he was
more ragged, disreputable and CHASTITY
than usual-certainly not an object to
be welcomed with high honors. But
old Bently had just had the tax list
dumped upon him and had two print
ers sick at home and was in a great
stew. For be it known to the unin-
itiated the tax list in a country news
paper office is a most important thing
not only as regards the great emolu-
ments therefrom, but also because it
is a big job of typesetting and abso-
lutely must be correct, and further
more. must appear promptly at the ap-
pointed time.
So it happened that old Bently greet
ed Bud as a longlost brother and be-
fore the latter had fairly caught his

Celebrating the Tin Wedding.

An author who was about to cele-
brate the tenth anniversary of her
marriage describes her plans in this
way:
For refreshments, will serve coffee
In tin cup, with tin spoons, and dainty
sandwiches on tin plates; will pass
water in a tin pail, using a tin dip
per. All refreshments will be passed
in tin pans, the walters will use tin
coffee pots to refill the coffee cups.
For a centerpiece for the table, will
use large tin cake pan, with an
opening in the center, in which a
small fish horn can be placed, the
cake pan and fish horn both being fill
ed with flowers. Shall decorate the
rooms with tin as far as possible. In
one archway shall use tin plates tied
together with ribbon, small hole
being punched in the plates for the
purpose. This will form a curtain for
one, archway. In another archway
shall use tin cups for the same pur-
pose. Tin candlesticks can be used
If one is fortunate enough to have
them. Wire coasters tied with ribbon
can be hung on the walls to hold pho
tographs. Small tin spoons tied with
ribbons can be given as souvenirs, be-
ing passed around by. the walters. in
a tin dust pan
A few more suggestions would be
that the bride carry her bouquet in
a tin funnel and the bridegroom could
have a very small tin horn in his
buttonhole containing a small bou-
Quet. Potted plants and flowers may
be set in tin pals for jardinieres and
vases, and small tin basins can be
passed instead of finger bowls. Tin
foil may be put to various decora-
tive uses, not forgetting to wrap the
bonbons in it.

Buds Stick Was on the Floor.

breath (although the rest of us had)
he found himself in front of case
with great takes" of tax-list copy in
front of him and old Bently purring
things about a bonus on all strings ex-
ceeding a given amount per day.
Bud had been at work about three
days when he gave the Palladium the
scoop which made him famous in the
office and which cost old Bently his
valuable services so far as that partic-
ular tax list was concerned.
Each afternoon just before the
paper went to press Bud was pulled
off the tax list and used to help out in
the last grand rush before press time.
Naturally he caught the last end of
the limited telegraph service enjoyed
by the Palladium.
On the particular day in question he
caught a dispatch from Omaha-aI-
most the last dispatch before go.
For a moment there was the swift
click of the types, when a crash that
rev every eye in the room. Buds
stick was on the floor, it's contents
pied and Bud was hanging onto the
case with trembling hands and face
SO white as to give grave cause for the
most serious apprehensions.
What's the matter?" yelled the
foreman jumping toward him. sick ?''
NO" replied Bud, bracing up with
a great effort and a sickly smile
Just dizzy a bit. Reckon l cut out
the booze too suddenly. I'm all right
now
He picked up his stick and started
over again and never had the types
clicked so fast in the Palladium office
before. Evidently, we thought, Bud
was trying to make good and recover
the lost time.
Some minutes later the foreman
shouted:
You, there, Williams! Where in
blazes is that last telegraph story
You're stickin' the rag
In a minute replied Bud steadily
and his nimb1e fingers moved faster
than ever.
Presently he dumped his last stick
full on the galley and without word
put on his coat and went out.
A moment later Bently had the gal
ley and was giving it the hasty read

STUDYING the Game.

On a certain southern golf course
the sand pits are famous for their diff
flculty. A New York man played into
one of the pits, and then cursed none
the less inadvertently, if silently,
while he took six Intellectual strokes,
raising only clouds of sand and fairly
burying the ball. Presently he was
aware of an interested and incredu-
lous darky watching him.
''Whar you see dat snake you's try
In to kill, MANI" he demanded.

DonaId's Opinion.

Donald was an old Scotch beadle
who officiated in a Highland kirk
where the minister, never a bright
star at any time, believed in giving
full value for the money, as 1t were,
in his discourses. A stranger once
asked him his opinion of the sermons
"Ah. weel," replied Donald, you'll
no get me to say onything against
them, for they're a. very guild. but
I'll just remark this much:
THE beginnings aye over far frae
the end, an it would greatly improve

A Good rhina to KNOW.

To increase the lasting capacity OF
candles, KEEP them in the ice box for
"a hours before using. They will
burn much slower, and to the up-to-
date hostess who uses candles con-
stantly this is quite an item. 1t is
quite customary to light the dining
room almost entirely with candles
placed around the room or the plate
rail, mantel and sideboard. These are
not shaded, and it is a very pretty
idea to have individual candles at
each plate. These are usually shaded
to protect the eyes.

ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY COW
Where Large Quantities Of rurnips
Ars Fed Directly After Milking
No Dad Flavor Results.

No matter what some people tell
you. turnips and other roots make
nne milk-producing feed. Turnipa
will not affect the favor Of milk II
fed at the right time.
II turnips are fed in large quanti-
ties, and two or three hours before
nilking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but II fed
directly after milking, no favor
whatever will be noticed.
A peck Of turnips to each animal
per day 10 sufficient in most cases.
A good plan is to feed directly after
hay In the early morning, and once
q day II often enough.
A little salt scattered over the
turnips, which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller, add to their
palatability.
Roots make . very valuable addi-
ton to the winter ration, because
they add to the variety Of the feed.
and no animal on the farm appreci
ates variety more than the dairy COW.
In Wisconsin, Iowa, and other
western dairy states the root crop

the overseers and to put permanent
gangs of workmen on the roads that
have to be improved this year. The
plan advocated is a modification Of the
method in use in Garfield county. Some
months ago the Garfield county com
missioners fired every road overseer
they had on the rolls and put in three
gangs of workmen under competent
foremen. Never before have such
roads been made in Garfield county as
are being made now.
Last month practically $4,000 was
expended in Mesa county for roads.
Little of this work is of permanent
character. The roads are scraped,
plowed, and the dirt plastered down,
and the first rain washes it back again,
and the next time road work is done
tthe same plan is repeated.
Those who circulated the petition de-
clare that the county is not getting 10
per cent of its mone's worth out of its
road fund, and that . plan must be
adopted if the highway system is ever
to amount to anything. The Midland
trail situation makes the matter even
more acute.
The petition asked that the road
from Mack to the state line, from
Grand Junction to the Delta line and
Palsade to the Garfield county line be
taken out of the Jurisdiction Of the
overseers.-Grand Junction Sentinel.
For fencing in county road without
authority, party was arrested this
week and bound over to the district
court. The present board of commits
sioDers will not stand for anything of
that kind. The last assembly gave all
commissioners more power over high
ways, and the roads may eventually
pass under state control. At any rate,
the commissioners alone have the power
to change the roads. And after they
are changed this time ito get the best
routes for the state highways) there
will be few changes. Even in these
changes, the utility Of the roads and
convenience to the general public will
b considered-not the notion of sin
gle individual.-White River Review.
