The funny SIDE OF

BRIAN BoRU DUNNE TELLS
ABOUT 1T IN HIS NEW BOOK

The Humorous Side of Being Sick,
How the Doctors Failed to Kin Me"

been the title of little book by Brian
Doru Dunno, city editor Of the Santa
Fe New Mexican, which has just come
off the press. Instead of these titles
Mr. Dunno chose to name his creation
Cured; The Seventy Adventures of
a Dyspeptic"
The volume describes the sufferings
|of man who didn't know what was
the matter with him, except that he
was nervous" The victim is told
by one medico that he has indigestion,
by another that his stomach is too
small, by another that his stomach is
too large, By another that he needs
an operation, by another that he
doesn't need noperation, by a friend
that he should use stomach pump,
by another friend that he needs
"poise," etc. He finally Is cured by
securing a air of properly fitted glas-
ses.
One may iraw the conclusion that
the glasses actually effected the cure
or that the victim got an improved
view point, which led him to see the
unwisdom of too much doping and
too much thinking about ones ply.

ANALYSIS OF MIR. WILSON.

Henry Watterson, in Louisville
Courier,Journal)
The President has on occasion no
more loyal support, or genuine appre-
citation, than has appeared in these
columns. The Courier-Jorunal has of
fered willing obedience to his abili-
ty. his courage and his upright inten-
ton. Because, opposing his nomina-
ton for the presidency it gave him
the best the shop had then in stock,
at least carrying Kentucky against
him in the nominating convention, es-
tablishes no reason why now it should
seek to embarrass him, or his admin
instrtion. Those who know its eharac-
ter and methods need not be told that
in its dealing with public measures it
has never been influenced by personal
likes or dislikes; that as to public
policies it has had no east-iron sys-
tenn of prepossesion, but judges for
itself as the exigeney arises; and that
itg editorial inspiration has been eve
lodged beneath its own roof, taking
orders never at and time from off
Gals, platforms or committees. 1t is.
in short, a principal and not a sub.
a~ltern, a leader and not a follower.
Thus it stood by the President
through his tariff battle and his eur
rency battle and is standing by him
in his battle to repeal the subsidy to
the c~oastwise shipping trust. 1t is not
clear that it is antagonizing him in
the matter of Mexico. The duty of
the head of a nation is not as the
duty of a daily newspaper. In the one
case both international requirement
and ceremonial usage lay a heavy
hand upon official utterance; on the
other the business Of the newsgather-
er and the call for free and full dis
%cussion demand publicity.
All that the Courier-Journal has
ventured to suggest may lie some
where in the President thought.
He is a man well versed in the lore
alike of philosophy and history. That
the Mexicans are unequal to self-gov.

ment such as we have in the Philip
pines, order can never be established
in Mexico; and that any movement
toward that end, however humanitari
an will be regarded by the mass and
body of Mexicans as invasion and wal
and resisted as such, cannot have es-
capped his cellar acute and luminous
mind. He must realize, whatever the
functional requirements of public
policy may oblige him to say, that a
state of ar actually exists; that there
there is not much choice or hope to
be had of fixed and peaceful conditions
among any of the Mexican factions;
and that it will be in the end as hard
to treat definitely with one as with
another of the bandit chiefs who will
succeed Huerta.
Truth to say, the President seems

Mineral Flat Mine
Preparing To Ship

Nick lverson came down from Am

pies of ore from The new strike In
the Mineral Flat Mine. The men have
been working in the property for
two years, endeavoring to open up a
body of ore and were about on their
last legs when they opened up pay
ore 1t has been necessary to do
some outside work to get money to
go ahead with, and also It became
necessary to have assays of the ore
to prove to the local supply houses
that the grocery and powder bills
would be paid when due.
The assays, which were made from
conservative samples, indicate net
profit of $l4 per ton after all ex-
penses of mining, hauling and smelt-
Ing have been taken out.
The men are well pleased with the
showing and intend putting several
more men to work, taking out a ship
ment before winter sets in, as the
Mineral Flat is located In one of the
worst snow slide districts In the can
