81 hope you were polite" said a
mother to her little son, shortly after
he had returned from a party. 81
hope you did not take more than one
piece of cake" " took just one piece,
but it was offered to me three times"
replied the boy "And when it was
passed to you the third time what did
you say?" asked the mother. "Oh,"
replied the boy, 81 just swelled up like

Up in Wyoming the sheep furore
has arrived at such a point in its up
ward climb that outsiders are con-
tracing the unborn lambs for Octo-
Der delivery at 1925 per cwt., with
freight paid to the river. A deposit
Of dollar head is laid down and the
notes carry six per cent to the date of
final settlement. A deal for 10000
lambs was made at Rawlins last week
on this basis and the contractor was
an Idaho man who ought to know
what he is doing, for he is an old
timer with plenty of experience.
A certain individual gained fame
for a day by declaring: Il am big
ger man than old Grant But, of
course, he wasn't bigger than Grant
indeed, he was only little fellow
in comparison with that warrior, and
now even his name is forgotten.
Samuel Gompers stood up in the Ma
tional Capitol the other day and said
in effect: I'm bigger than Congress.
Pass a law which l don't like and I'll
disobey it." One would think it was
now up to Congress Congress of
more than a hundred million people

week we see a Lawson bully Con-
gress and Gompers notify it that he
is so powerful he needn't obey its
laws.

practice. We use a preventive method |
which we once found described in a
which is more humane
and satisfactory, besides being cheap
and simple. When the calf is few
lays old, put about a teaspoonful of
powered I've in an old dish. Pour on
lbout the same amount of warm wa

solved and it becomes a syrupy mix
ure. Clip the hair off the calf's
read. Take a clean corn cob, dip the
mall end in the mixture and apply to
he button. Repeat several times
md after each application irritate
he button with the side of the cob.
Be very careful not to get any of the

Fred Croker while driving to his
Lome near Park, last week, had a
air-raising experience, says the Ken
rick Gazette. He was driving
through a stretch of timber where the
now laden brush hung over the edge
f the road when a big cougar jump
d into the back end of his sled. Mr..
rocker had recently hauled some
resh meat in the sled and some blood
ad dripped on the floor The cou-
ar having evidently smelled the blood
ecided to investigate, but finding
othing he could eat, jumped out and
in the brush. Fred said
nat the first feeling that passed over
i'm when he saw the cougar taking I
ossession of the sled, was one Of an
err. In fact, he was so sore about it
nat ne had decided to get out and
ak if the cougar was going to ride.
his was not necessary, however, as
lie cougar got out first.
