CITY MANS IDEA OF FARMS
Intended WittIeIsms VIII Be Amusing
to Those Who Live In the Asrl-
cultural Districts.

Farms may be roughly divided into
two kinds-the gentleman's or non
paying farm and the common or gar
den farm. When you have saved up
enough money to keep you In your
old age buy farm. Besides getting
rid of your money death will come as
2 welcome relief-thus you will ac-
complish double purpose. The aban-
doned farm Is a form of entertainment
indulged in by many to whom faro
horse racing and Wall street are not
exciting enough. Besides, just as in
human beings, no matter how low an
abandoned farm may have sunk there
is always some good in 1t.
To rehabilitate an abandoned farm
and put 1t on its feet is a great pleas
ure. First, remove all the plumbing,
replacing it with gold-plated pipes and
belt line OF shower baths; after this
has been finished will be time enough
for you to imagine where the water
works are. You will usually find them
pleasantly situated at the other side
of the county seat. By going to the
local political gang and carrying one
or two elections you will eventually
get stream of water running into
your pipes which will excite the envy
of every one within reach of your
megaphone.-Life.

POSTCARD SENT NEWLY WEDs
Highly Decorated Remembrance ls
Inscribed With Advice
From Sender.


Denver.-A wooden postcard nearly
two feet long and more thar half
loot wide and highly decorated Sith
instructions to newly married couples
was handed to e. c. Bennett, clerk at
the kafserhoff hotel, by the letter car
rler when making his usual mail de-
livery.
1t was addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy d. Lee Of Pueblo, who were here
on their honeymoon. The couple had
departed, however, before the card ar
rived. Clerk Bennett tried to put 1t in
the mail box and 1t wouldn't go. Then
he hung it up over his desk. That
caused SO many people to make use
less remarks that he showed it under
the counter
Then some one told him he was In
terfering with the United States mails,
SO he took it out again and handed 1t
to the telephone operator, who wrote
another address on it and forwarded
II after the happy couple.
One motto said: May all the
troubles be little ones" Another said:
BE good to one another" Another
card asked the clerk, in the event he
could not deliver the postcard, to re-
turn to the couple addressed at Rose
lawn cemetery, Pueblo. Colo, as that
would undoubtedly be their stopping
place In the end.
The card had thirty-four stamps on
1t and numerous pictures of hearts,
cupids and other designs which con-
Veyed the impression that the parties
addressed were in blissful state of
mind.
