rectory.

men at work in eight different States
compiling city directories, and thai
they intend to make the Paris direc-
tory as complete as money and hard
work can make it. They will not
undertake the work until everything
is in readiness.
The directory will contain the
name and street address of every
man and woman in the city of Paris
and will also have a complete list o.
all on the rural routes. 1t will Ee
handsomely bound, and will not be
an advertising scheme of any kind

state to the people of Paris that he
will guarantee this directory to b.

spect, and one that the people OF
Paris will be glad to have in thei.
possession.

BraUe Italians
BY FoNTAINE FOX

While you may praise the men Of
France because they stopped the Huns
advance, and talk about the pluck and
grit with which the British did their
bit, and compliment the Japanese who
took some lonely ports with ease, and
even feel the Muscovite may yet put up
a decent fight, don't overlook the brav-
cry of the sons Of sunny Italy whose
portion of the general scrap is any
thing except a snap. They've had to
climb the icy Alps TO get a whack at
Austrian scalps Supplies and guns
they've had to drag from rock to rock
and crag to crag. They've had to shed
their hats and coats and climb like
Rocky Mountain goats. They've had to
drag their daily beans through gullies,
chasms and ravines, Another thing
they've had TO do is tunnel mountains
through and through. We have to hand
it to these Wops who battle in the
mountain tops, and realize they have a
claim to recognition. honor, fame. The
laurel crown they well deserve for
solid 1S-karat nerve. WILL MOORE.

The experience OF Smith. an

He consigned a carload OF cattle
to a San Francisco packing house
for sale and slaughter.
Previously he had been
quoted a figure on the hides
alone, by dealer.
In the final settlement with
the 11cking house, Smith re-
ceived less money for the live
cattle than he had been OF
fered for their hides. He
would have made money by
shooting his cattIn on the
