No. i72.

This puzzle relates to the d0ings OF
a retail iceman who tried to get rich
in one season. He had a morning
and evening route and his wagon
would hold Just 1000 pounds OF ice,
but as his day customers called for
COCO pounds. and time would permit
OF but one trip per day, what could
the poor fellow do. but sell every
pound OF ice for a pound and half.
He paid IS cents per 100 for his ice
and charged 30 cents. In the evening
he served stores and restaurants and
sold for 20 cents per 100. but from
force OF habit still cheated 80 per
cent on the weight Now on the
morning trips ne sold 1000 pounds
for COCO pounds and on the evening
trips 2OOO pounds FOR 5000 pounds.
and the question which is submitted
for our consideration is to Tell just
how much money that fellow made
by cheating.

Teach Children Thrift.
Thrift is q very important element
In character. Those who learn to be
economical In youth have nj difficult
ties when they are responsible for tho
income necessary 70 maintain q home.
1t Is the q or wOmaI that allows
want to dominate and lives beyond
the income that has difficulties when
the income Is small. Children should
be taught economy and thrift early In
life. They should be given a chanc"
to earn and a chance to use their
earnings. This will give them respon.
slblllty and teach them the worth Of
money.

Your patronage solicited
The Quiet Life.

Often we rebel at what looks to- US
like the narrowness and emptiness OF
our lives. There Is so little variety,
so Little Of the unexpected and the
dasbing. We forget the loneliness Of
a gray life-the delicacy, the subtle
llnts and shades that are only possible
when experiences come sparsely or fill
tered through ioEg periods of waiting.
Quiet lives areN mor exquisite than
crowded ones. just as quiet shadows
are more exquisite than crude sunlight.

Thinks Mermaid Was Manatee.

The Journal of Iieredity rises to re-
mark that the first mermaid In all
probability was not pure invention. In
all probability the mermaid story
started when some ignorant s~eafaring
man saw nothing less than a manatee
disporting himself through the distant
waves. At some distance, the sclenti-
ne periodical observes, the manatee or
'sea cow does not look unlike a hu.
man being, the shape of its head and
facial formation when indistinctly
seen taking on the appearance of life
closely akin In mankind.

storm started, and as it was raining
pretty hard they took refuge in the
barn. taking the horses in with them.
Mr.. Shackleford had a number of
things in the barn and another horse
was also stalled in there. When
the bolt struck it killed one horse and
stunned another. Mr.. Shackleford
and Bob Parker, the hired man, were
standing within eight feet of the
horses when the lightning struck,
neither of the men, however, were
even stunned. Mr.. Parker went up
in the hay loft to see what he could
do to extinguish the blaze which had
started, but found the hay in every
part was on fire. Two horses were
rescued from the burning barn and a
few other little things, but the barn,
hay and a lot of farm machinery and
Implements were destroyed. The barn
was insured for $1,000, but machinery
and other implements were not. Mr..
Shackleford's hands were slightly
burned in trying to remove some Of
the htings from the barn.

Coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchia!
troubles which persist at this tine OF

UP AND DOWN THE VALLEYS

Ora Grafford, who recently came
from Nebraska and has purchased the
Jay ranch on Antelope creek, was in
town Saturday. He was obliged to
walk on account of high water.
r.
Altho the Gunnison river was never
so high and has been out of bounds do
ing all the damage it could, the range
is burning up and cattlemen are wor-
ried over the feed situation. There is
plenty of fine hay growing but mighty
little grass on the hills, altho some
ranges report light showers within the
past few days.
In the San Luis valley the farm and
live stock bureau has endorsed the
following rates of wages in Saguache
county: Single men, $45 a month and
board; married men, sos month,
house, COW and garden; men and team
$500 per day, no board or horse feed;
men and team, S4.00 per day, with
board and horse feed.
Under a new ordinance the vags in
Pueblo are being rounded up and put
TO work. These "loafers include many
with boiled shirts and white collars.
No idlers are to be allowed now or
later 1t may be desirable to wait till
harvest time to round them up in Gun
nison, but there is work waiting right
now, and they may as well get the
habit.
Telephone rates for Colorado are
Changed quite bit by new ruling
Of the Public Utilities Board. In
Denver they are increased, while in
some communities, particularly with
rural lines, they are lowered. The
Gunnison exchange officials have not
yet heard of any change at this point.
CONTRIBUTED SPUD STORY
{By NJ. C. Allen)
! made a trip last Monday
With Mr.. Posey Kroll,
And he told me of the spud crop
That he harvested last fall.
He vowed with all sincerity.
That the vines grew up SO high,
They hung the hammocks on them
Bout the middle Of July.
Said he, II am not joking,
I am telling you the facts,
/ chopped those vines for frewood
With . double bladed Ak.
Now, you may not believe me
And you may think l am . liar,
But they lasted us all winter
To feed the furnace fire.
I didn't have to burn . pound
OF good nine dollar coal,
And / saved one Of the straightest
vines
And made nice flag pole"
He isn't raising spuds this year,
The reasons very plain
He couldn't get the stumps pulled out
In time TO plant again.
