WHAT BILL DID

Bill Turner was a farmer, he labored all his life. He didn't have DO schooIin' and neither had his wife. But Bill was built for, business and made the wheels go round, and left healthy for tune when they put him under ground. He was always taking chances, paid a hundred for bull. His neighbors called him crazy, but he left stable full ot cows that broke the record, mak- ing butter by the ton, an Bill had his picture printed in the Squeedunk Weekly Sun. H. had newfangled notions of mak- ing farming pay. He ven bought a fool machine to help him load his hay. The neigh bors fairly snorted when they saw the blooming thing: said Bill would never make it work. It wasn't worth a ding! Bill didn't say single word and didn't care a darn bout what they said, fer slick as grease. his hay went in the barn an hour before thunder storm came sailin' out that way and caught his neigh bors in a pinch and spoiled their new mown hay. Bills neigh bors put their milk in cans, and set 'em in a tank. Bill skim- med his milk with a machine and turned it with a crank. Smith chops his frewood with an axe. Bill used some gasoline and saws a hundred cords a day with another blame machine. Today, Bills wife rides in a car and dresses up in silk; Smiths wife rides in a wagon and keeps skimming milk.

State ment given June 29, l90S.)
 Over five years later Mir. Blythe said: "A little over year and half ago, I used about box of Doan's Kid ney Pills, but since then, have had no trouble. My previous endorsement holds good.

OLD SELFISH

Old Man Selfish dropped into the Picayune office the other day to ask us to extend his subscrip- tion bill for sixty days. The following conversation ensued:
 Editor: What are you doing in town, MT. Selfish?
 o. s. Come in to buy some stuff for the old lady. but after 1 got some tobaccy and played a few games of pool with the boys and ordered a box of mail-order cigars, l didn't have no money left. Wimmin folks is always wantin' something foolish any way.
 Ed: How was your crop?
 o. s. Finel Biggest I ever had. The missus wanted me to buy some newfangled things for the kitchen with some of the money said they would save her good many steps, but there is piece of land 1 guess I'll buy instead.
 Ed: Thought you had all the land you wanted?
 o. S.: We'll, 1 don't need this parcel, specially, but recon the old lady can get along we'll enough for another year or two.
 Ed: suppose you're going to the county fair?
 o. S.: You bet. Wouldn't miss it. My wife's exhibiting some fruits and needlework, and she wanted to go down and see the prizes awarded, but l told her she'd better stay at home with the kids this year.
 Ed: Did you get that new waterworks plant installed in your home this year?
 O. S.: No. That was another of my wife's ideas. l recon we don't actually need it. The Mrs. is purity strong, and she's plenty able to tote water for afew more years.
 Ed: Going home tonight? o. S.: Nope. Going to stay around and see the picture show. l want to look at Jed Beams team too; think Pll buy it, and a new gun. The wife wants me to her some stuff for a new Sunday dress, but the one she's been wearing looks all right to me, so I guess she'll have to wait until next year. We'll. so long. See you later. It does beat anything how extravagant women are these days, din't it?

Why Minister to Mexico?

Announcement is made from Wash.
ington that after an interruption of dip
lomatic relations with Mexico for near
ly three years, Henry p. Fletcher has
been appointed as minister to that coun
try
How far this appointment constitutes
reversal of the policies that has been
pursued by the American government
toward Mexico, and toward American
citizens in Mexico, is not stated, but it
Is certain that the very beginning of
rightful relations between the two ma
lions must be definite recognition by
Mexico of the rights Of Americans in
that country, and definite purpose on
the part of our government to insist
that those rights shall be observed and
protected by the government of Mexico
There is nothing more disgraeeful in
Ans rican history than the proclamation
warning Americans in Mexico that they
must leave that country because their
government could do nothing to enforce
their security. We are glad to say that
hundreds Of courageous and bold Amer
leans disregsrded that warning and
were able to protect their rights and
their properties. as well as their lives.
in defiance Of Mexican bandits and in
surrctos and without the help of the
government whose duty it was to pro
tect them.
Thousands Of other Americans saw
their properties destroyed and in many
cases American men and women were
killed. tortured and cruelty injured.
while this government pursued ITS poll
cy of visionary sentimentaiism ~ dis
graceful inactivity.
If the appointment Of Minister Fletch
er marked the beginning Of new era
in our relations toward Mexico, the be.
ginning OF policy of dignifisd firmness
justice and honorable conformity with
national duty. we should be glad to ap.
plaud that step.
But il this appointment 10 no more
than fresh attempt to accomplish
something by doing nothing. il our
minister 10 sent to Mexico to talk and
to make empty threats as othsr minis
ters and special agents have done, II It
10 merely another effort to bolster up II
defacto government that has neither
knowledge Of what government really
means. nor the power to enforce gov.
eminent over the area It claims to pos
sess. It would be far better for the U
nitei States not to appoin, any minis
ter to Mexico. Pueblo Chieftain.
