Here is a belated Christmas story
that was told by Senator Thomas B.
Catron, of New Mexico, the other eve
ming, when the conversation in club
turned to the glories of Yuletide.
1t was Christmas Day in a city
clearinghouse and the homeless
bachelors had just sat down to a
dinner that necessarily lacked the
real gladstone brand of cheer. The
steaming turk was slashed and served,
and as one of the boarders took his
little chunk he emitted a gentle sigh.

one, with a pessimistic expression.

been?"

Reported in the Fairmont
Times That Fund Had a
Surplus.

Some time ago story was published
IN the Times stating that the tax col
lected on dogs was more than suffi-
ctent to pay for all sheep killed by dogs
in the county, and that the fund had
surplus in it. James E. w. Layman, of
Rt. 2. Rivesville, who had sheep killed
to the amount of $1,000, applied to the
county court and was only paid $3.50
for his $1,000 loss, which was about
one-fourth the loss.

WHEN SMILES COME HARD.

Chickasha yesterday to attend the
closing festivities of the county fair

when he caused the mercury to fall
with the falling rain, Perhaps he
thought everyone could keep on dis
playing that smile which won't come.
But II he so thought he thought wrong
