The Hatchet Buried

Guantanamo, Cuba, April lO-That
the marines and bluejackets of Uncle
Sans Navy have buried the Ratchet
and there is now only the kindliest
feeling between the enlisted men of
the navy any the enlisted men of the
marine corps, was evidenced at a BAN
quet rendered Gunner's Mates Charles
e. Hills and Robert Conroy by the
marine detachment of the U. s. 8.
New York, the other evening.
The naval gunners were presented
with handsome gold watches by the
marine corps boys, and the speakers
for the evening took for their theme
the new relationship between the en-
listed men of the two branches.
In the old days Of wooden sailing
ships there was considerable jealousy
and ill-feeling betwixt the blueiackets
and marines, but since the advent of
the modern man-o'-war that feeling
has entirely disappeared and the men
Of the two branches now live aboard
ship in perfect peace and harmony.
Joint shore operations at Vera Cruz
and Hayti have brought about an
even better understanding between
the men, the officers declare.

ricultural College, has just published

ing business like methods of farming

methods is necessary and the records
of the various transactions which oc-
cur from day to day can be kept with
very little expenditure of time by
simply following the instructions in
cluded In the book.
In addition to the stimulus these &C.
count books will give to the efforts
being made to interest the farmers of
the state in more business like meth
DDS, their use will provide very valu-
able data for Mr.. Foard's farm man
agemtnt demonstration work which
is Of the utmost Importance to every
farmer In the state. The record books
which are printed on q good quality
of paper and bound In MANILA cover,
are available at actual cost, Is cents
each. They may be obtained by ad-
dressing w. E. Foard, Colorado Ag-

Change Of Front

The following from the Pueblo
Chieftain of March n, shows how
Editor Wilder can slip 1t to Editor
Swain and how Editor Swain can
meet himself coming back. Among
other things the article reads:
-.* "Mr. Speer has never been
. popular man, nor the idol of the
masses, and there is no reason to be-
lisve he Is at this time. ~**~ He
may appear IS the Moses to some
but when his political history is re-
Viewed and his skin vic.
tories are considered, his size dimin-
ishes before the inspection"
In the Chieftain of February 18th
1t WAS possibly Editor Swain who
hung one on Editor Wilder with the
following:
"Denver should remember one
thing, and that is it will be many a
day before she produces another Bob
Speer. He was one man In . thousand.
II Denver could return to the mayor
form Of government and have man
like Bob Speer rs mayor forever, 1t
might be COED thing to make the
change. But when she returns to the
mayor form of government, she runs
the risk Of getting q mediocre man
for mayor about nine times out Of
ten. We believe II Denver will COM
pare her commission form of govern
ment with her average mayor gov
eminent, the comparison will not be
10 decidedly against the commission
form. Denver's government under
Mayor Speer stands out almost as
prominently in Denver's history rs
the Mckinley administration stands
out in our national history, and it IL
because Of that prominence that the
demand for the commission govern
ment to be repealed has become 30
general"
Now, dear reader, the only differ
ence between these two articles is
that the twins have heard from head
quarters since the issue of February
l8th.-Durango Democrat.
