Parks primary pupils got out in just
one-half minute, beating all the other
rooms. The judge opines that any fire
which breaks out in one of our sch ,ol
buildings is not going to catch our
girls and boys napping.-Marble Boost

Once upon time an editor tried to
run a paper to please everybody, but
he soon departed. Once upon time
lover told his best girl that she WASH t
the only girl he ever kissed and she
died on the spot. Once upon time a
man invented glasses SO people could
see their own faults and that man
starved to death. Another time
preacher told his congregation what
/, they deserved to hear and they mobbed
him.
| The deacons and other officers of
| church had met to discuss the best
method of getting rid of pastor who
had worn out his usefulness. After
various methods had been suggested
without any of them seeming feasible,
one brother, who was good deal of
wag, said:
81 tell you what to do: Let's raise
his salary to thousand dollars year
and pay him all his salary in arrears
and he will drop dead"
| Honorable John T. Shafroth, United
States senator from Colorado by reason
of the coal strike in this state, is ont
with a plan to have the president and
members of congress take their offices
on the same date-to start even, as it
were. If John will come forward with
plan whereby the people of Colorado
can get rid Of him before the expira-
tion of his term as senator he will be
crowned as one of the states greatest
benefactors.-Gree,ey Standard.
Ever since the arrival of the Moffat
road at Craig special effort has been
made to encourage the Meeker travel
and business to come this way, but
complaint has been made that passeu-
gers from Meeker don It arrive here
until nearly midnight. They say that
if better time is not made on the line
between Axail and Craig they will be
compelled to travel by way Of Rifle
and the D. & R. G. Railroad, which
would be quite loss to the business
people of Craig.-Craig Courier.
A small boy had been given a penny
with hole in it. Handing it to a
still smaller companion, he said:
Jimmie, dare you to go into that
store and buy something with this

boldly, he said:
81 want doughnut." And taking
it, he hastily presented the penny
"Here,' said the clerk, "this penny
has hole in it.''
$50 has the doughnut," announced
Jimmie, triumphartly holding it up.

torate will continue for another year
and Messrs j. 7. Selby and l.. E. Starf-
fer will hold down the jobs of presl-
dent and secretary, respectively. as
no election was held on Tuesday there
will be three directors elected next
year.-Rifle Telegram.
If that committee named in Denver
Saturday to secure just rates in Colo
rado is able to accomplish the end
sought much good will result. How
ever, with the Post bawling every night
over what it is doing to make the trans
portation companies come to time, the
impression is general over the sta.e
that instead of being move inaugur
ated by business men to honestly secure
just rates, it is movement on the
part Of the Post to blackmail the rail
roads into "coming across'' with a
piece of money. The first step neces-
sary, on the part of the committee 20
reach the desired end will be to induce
this paper to let up.-Boulder News.
