"oh. just little Bit" responded the

Now said the attorney, ''for the

VIII please step down here and, with
me for the subject, illustrate Just how
hard you mean."
Owing to the unmerciful badgerine
which the witness had Just been

incriminate himself.

STORY MADE EMERSON LAUGH
Recalled Incident Of Young Man Send.
Ing Letter Intended for His Wash.
erwoman to His Sweetheart

Young Conwell was sent by Horace
Greeley to interview Ralph Waldo EN-
erson for the New York Tribune. He
was pleasantly received by Emerson
In his home In Concord, surrounded
by his family, recites the Kansas City
Star. In the course Of the converse,
ton he asked Mr.. Emerson what he
laughed at. In all the writing Of the
Concord philosopher there Is not a
Joke nor even a trace Of humor,
Emerson replied that he never
laughed.
"Oh. yes, you do, father" cried the
family. 1--WE hear you laughing In the
garden"
"Well," Emerson said, " do some.
times laugh at something read when
boy, but 1t is foolish and not worth
putting In a paper"
Mr.. Conwell said that was Just what
he wanted.
Emerson then told about an agitated
young man who wrote two letters, one
to his washerwoman and one to his
lady love. He mixed them up, and the
latter was very much astonished to re-
ceive this letter:
IF you muss up the bosom Of my
best shirt again ! will have nothing
whatever to do with YOU"

PLENTY WARSAVINC
AND THRIFT STAMPS

The State Bank of Raymer has
and 800 Thrift Stamps. The supply
will be here this week and you will
have an oportunity tobuy at any
time al you want, under legal limits,
OF these stamps.
The war saving stamps draw In
terest and during this month cost on
through February they will be worth
$4.l3. In March they will be worth
S4.14, increasing steadily each
month, and so is an interest bearing
investment.
The thrift stamp differs from the
War Saving Stamp, in is value, also
in the fact that 1t does not draw in
terest, and 1t is redeemable only in
denomination is to make place for
small savings, as low as its cost. rs
cents.
Weld county is supposed to invest
in these forms of security oover one
mllon dollars. or about one-eighth OF
Its total bank deposits. It is ex-
pected that we can do this without
decreasing the bank deposits, but
that tbs amount will be actually in
creased savings by the people thru
self-denial and in increased produce
tion.
Speed up. save and lend to Uncle
Sam, so that we may do our best to
speedily end the war.
Weld County has reached only
about one-sixth Of the amount that
should have been invested in the War
Saving and Thrift Stamps up to this
time There should be sold in the
county every month 100000.
There have been $4,000. II you
wish to kno what the average should
be per month, it should be $2.O0 for
each man, woman, and child every
month in the year. II your family
consists of five people your total pur-
chases of these stamps should be
$1,000 per month, II you are in Just
average circumstances. Those who
are better off, should 60 a little be-
yond this subscription to make up for
those who can not reach the aver
age.

lacustral Settlements,

The lacustral settlements were
places Of refuge for a pastoral and az
ricultural people, and the light and
dryness that characterized the dwell
lngs show a step In advance toward
rlore permanent abodes. In this period
science places the beginning Of civil.
zation. BY these lacustrine men spin
ming and weaving were invented. Ag-
riculture was born among them; ami
mails were domesticated-the OK, the
COW, the sheep, the goat. the dog. The
uses Of metal were discovered, and
the age Of iron was ushered In. Habi-
tations similar to these still exist in
the East Indies, and among the ANA
Eonian tribes Of Maracaibo. They ex-
listed also In Lake Prasias. In Thrace,
during the time Of Herodotus, the
Greek historian.
