The greatest case of dog eat dog
that We ever heard of was that of II
young man who loved to smoke a good
cigar and had them insured for their
value in an insurance company. The
young man bought 1900 extra fine
cigars, and had them insured for their
face value, smoked them up and de-
manded the insurance, claiming that
they had been destroyed by fire. The
case was taken to the court and the
judge decided in favor of the young
man. The insurance company then had
the young man arrested for setting fire
to his own property, and the same
Judge ordered that he pay fine and
go to jail for three months.

self was found in a bunch of weeds and
driftwood where he had been fer
three days unconscious. He was nursed

much pain as he will never forget the
frightful scenes he witnessed there in

The first patient at the Lamar Gen
eral hospital was Mexican who hal
lost his way on the prairies south OF
Lamar and suffered severely from hun
ger and thirst. A few days of atten-
ton at the hospital restored the man
and he was discharged the first of last
week. On Saturday the Mexican re-
turned to the hospital, greeted the at
tendants pleasantly, and proceeded to
occupy the room he had vacated few
days before. As the nurses do not
speak Spanish it was necessary to call
in an interpreter to get an explanation
from the Mexican. The former patient
said that he liked his quarters very
much and was well pleased with the
care given him, SO he had decided to
stay there indefinitely. The Mexican
was greatly disappointed when the in
terpreter told him that the, hospital
was for sick persons only and that he
would have to seek other and less com
Portable quarters.-Lamar Sparks.
