Forces of Law and Justice.-The
Chicago News. commenting on the
Colorado war, says
The forces of law and justice are
weak indeed if they fail to bring per-
manent peace with little further de-
lay out of this condition of violent
anarchy"
There would have been no trouble
had the forces of law been also the
forces of justice, but they were not.
The law was pulling one way and
Justice another.
All appeals to law for justice fell
on ears that would not hear When
men found they couldn't get justice
through appeals to the law, and that
all they got from the law were muir
derous bullets from the guns of hired
mercenaries, they armed themselves
to protect themselves and their fami-
lies from injustice.
Get team work out of law and
Justice and there will be no trouble.

poles in COloradO-and elsewhere.

 ssThe top of my head is very cold, and I shall have fearful headache" "
 We soon reached the hotel and en- Hered the office, where a warm fire welcomed us The little old man un- did the nnuffler and handed it to me. He then removed his hat. and dis scovvered that it was of straw. and. also, that he was very bald My pity for the man was all gone in moment. It could not be that he had no other hat, for he was dress ed well enough to own twenty hats. I never found out what his reason was for wearing such g hat in the winter.
 I fell to moralizinE presently; but I will not here write down my refiec- tions Suffice it to say that every day in the year meet children, and grown people too, for that matter, who ara wearing straw hats in the dHinter,1 and suffering various dTead- fII things in consequence thereof The very next time you get into trouble, before you grumble and fret. see if 1t is not because you are wearing a straw hat in winter.

 "A pound of meat, without. skin. I5bone or waste is unknown to the housewife P says President Killian of the Oyster Growers and Dealers asso- citation of North America.
 "A pound of such all edible meat at 20 cents is beyond her fondest hopes. Such a value would be welcome help to her in her present .perpIe ftys when the average housekeeper IS Gonfront- ed with smaller allowances nd tgh- Ter prices on most of her needs
 Yet it is possible for the consumer to get just that sort of value, for a dry -measure quart Of oysters will weigh two pounds and has none of the waste in the trimming and dress ing as has all other flesh food, be it flsh, fowl or animal meat.
 "A dealer can sell dry measure quart of oysters at 40 cents and give "a dry measure quart at that. 9 may be necessary for the housewife to de- mand it in order to get 4t, but get it she can.
 seNor is economy the only merit that may be claimed for the oyster It has a delicious flavor. It can be pre- pared in many ways, as is indicated in the cook book issued by the Oyster Growers and Dealers Association of Hundred Ways to prepare them. It has nutrients that conpare favorably with foods at higher prices.
