We hear that Mrs. Jensen of Hays is

Mr.. Jones has been away cutting his
wheat for some time. If it keeps on
raining he may never get back.
News in Buckeye is as scarce as
hens teeth.
Harvey Reemsnyder and wife, sister
and father spent Sunday afternoon at
/ Dora Gosser's camp. They say he sure

They say if anyone wants any good
hired men to call Mr.. Douglas in Hays.
He sure finds good ones.
Alice Miller and Nellie Gosser spent
a few days with Jessie Gosser the first

We guess that Burt Foster hasn't
prayed for while as we see it rained

Mrs. Crenshaw and family were
callers at camp Sunday. Everybody
likes camp but the campers and they
returned Monday to their old place VI
in Gods country.
Hans Jensen says it rains too much
for him to farm any more so he has de-
cided to play as retired farmer anC

Booze Selling.

On Wednesday afternoon a stranger
from Alton, Illinois, was tried and
found guilty of selling booze, by Police
Judge B. C. Arnold. All the evidence
presented amounted to this: That a
partly consumed pint of whiskey was
found in defendants grip and a sealed
quart in a box car and that he had or
dered and received whiskey twice from
Kansas City. No proof was offered
that he had sold drop, or that he had
offered to sell or that any one even
had tried to buy
Unless some of our benevolent mind
ed citizens come around and sign his
appeal bond in the sum of $4,000 the
defendent will have to languish in Jail
thirty days and until $4,000 fine and
costs are paid.

hsatr-r Of Giving Advice Is Always
WcTth the Most Thoughtful
Consideration

q very gOod rule is expressed in the
h0mely words, Mind your own bust
ness" The desire to help another is
pTaisewCrthy, but 1t may be carried
tCo far. and when II IS. one becomes
neddlesome and oficious. Every man
has to be accountable for his own
acts No one may carry this response
bility for him.
This IS what makes PTOEered advice
often impairment The man who o.
fers It offers only half Of the need
and the easier half at that II his
advice IL ioiiUyed ana IalIure comes
he can only say. i did the best
could for you" Il Is seldom that ad-
vice thrust on another is Of real serv
ice to him Forcing It CT any person
who does net feel the need Of 1t is
confusing and misleading The m2l
who hears is ret likely to make : de
termined effort to follow IL, nor can
he wholly forget It The result IS that
he feels insure OF the things ne Is
doing. Besides, it is often hard to
distinguish well-neaning friend from
an idle meddier, than whom no enc Is
more detested
There are, Of course, persons who
ask advice, and then thought OF the
most serious kind is needed Not what
you would do, but what the other man
ought TO do and can dO-that is the
only advice you can give him, and then
you are probably better OF If he
doesn't take it For giving advice Is
one Of the hardest things q thoughtful
person can be asked to do, and one OF
the cheapest things the thoughtless
person does.-Milwauke Journal

The eyes of fishes are in constant
use except when they are asleep Most
fishes have no eyelids, their eyes be-
ing protected from injury by a shiny
material or by a thick transparent
skin. The puffer, or swedish, which
habitually burrows in sand at the
bottom of the water, has eyelids which
cover the eyebaIls when closed, the
lower eyelid being larger than the

the "bosses" fix up ticket and we

The Injunction case of Nick Arnhold
vs.. the Councilmen of the City of Hays
and the Electric Light Company took
up nearly the whole day. It developed
that five of the councilmen passed an
ordinance which had for its object to
hire the Light Company to pump all
the water for the city at 5 cents per
thousand gallons. Before the mayor
could veto the ordinance Mr. Arnhold
enjoined the council from going any
further. Some of the grounds alleged
was that no estimate Of the city engi-
neer had been filed with the city clerk
And upon this ground the court sus-
tanned the petition and granted or rath-
er modified the injunction to give the
council chance to get the estimate
This case has been hanging fire since
in May and the contract that was at
tempted to be executed has caused con.
siderable friction. One side claiming
that if the contract was entered into
with the Light Company that the pump
ing station with its expensive machin
cry would go to rust and decay, while
the other side claimed that the de
creased cost of pumping would give the
water to the city much cheaper anC
that the pumping station would not b.
neglected. Judge Ruppenthal did no
find anything illegal in the procedure
but did find that the council failing tx
get proper estimate before they at
tempted to close the deal with the Ligh
Company was fatal. If the estimate
is furnished and filed they will have NJ
: trouble with the court or the laws O:
