ODD MENTION.

Burying some fellows expensively is
worth it.
He that would have eggs must bear
with caclsling.
1he milk of human kindness is of
tcntimes SKINNED.
The highest price man can pay
for . thing is to ask for it.
Whatever you do, don't die in debt
to Your horses and cattle.
It costs the nations now at war
100000 to XIII man. Hardly pays.
The road to ruin is in good repair;
the travellers pay the expense of it.
The neigbbors always know whose
land it is, even if all your fences have
fallen down.
Some men would sooner have an
automobile and mortgage that go
without either.
About all a farmer can get from a
town man these days is the advice to
grow more stuff.
Don't skip the advertisements in
this paper. Twill pay to read them
all. They are genuine.
It is hard work Strengthening crook
ed paths. Far better make straight
paths in the first place.
If you don't run up bills at the
stoe, but pay as you go, you will be
sure to live within your income.
Some swapping cold weather at
hand. How is it? Have you ther-
mometer down cellar? 1t may save
your nice bin of potatoes.
The man who has grudge against
everybody will soon find that every
body has grudge against him. 1t
is bad way to have things. Never
let 1t be so with you.
Doesn't it make you feel cheap to
have somebody else praise your wife,
when you never have said nice thing
for all she has done? Tell her right
off what blessing she has been to
you.
The day is not quite rounded out
unless you have set down in your lit
tie book the story of what you have
done. Make the record full and ac-
curate. You can not tell what may
turn ON some entry you make. And
use ink instead of pencil for this
work.

Espinosa Murder Still Shrouded
In Mystery.

Sheriff Fassbinder and Deputy Cor
oner Hobby returned from Ignacio
by auto last night bringing with them
the body of Reneal Espinosa, who
was murdered by being shot through
the back and head the previous even
ing. District Attorney Lane, who
aided them in the investigation, re-
turned by train. All efforts to locate
the guilty parties have thus far been
unsuccessful and the case is shrouded
in mystery. Espinosa was highly
respected young man who, as far as
known, did not have an enemy. A
number of people heard the shots that
cost him his life but no one seems to
have an idea who fired them. 1t is
the general impression the young man
was mistaken for someone else, Sher-
iff Fassbinder returned to the scene
of the murder this morning to make
further Investigations.

taxing bachelors. The last married
man to seek revenge from the care
free single men is Charles w. ost-

Moss declared gravely: mo man
over thirty-five should dance" The
New York reporters began investi-
eating and found men of seventy-fiye
danced in New York. They gave
names of men over thirty-five who
dance, and among the names on the
list is that of John d. Rockefeller,
