A farmer came home one evening and told his wife and

exclaimed: Henry why in the world didyou tell US? Now

Back in the best days Of the pursuit
OF the Rum Demon nothing was more
effective than few simple labora-
tory tricks showing what alcohol
would do in the way Of shriveling and
killing,
Those who remember those stunts
must have had queer sensations in
their innerds when they learned that
the acid in the city water is eating out
the mains in the streets.
And at that only the wealthy caa
afford to use anything that Wocl9
neuralize the acid.
However wealth seems to be pretty
evenly distributed in this town, judg.

appeared on the streets comfortably
tuiced up
Since the tension over the police
situation has eased up.

program for Fa 4ont which will soon be under actual
construction Major Boyle makes the suggestion that
while the Ley company is here will be good time for
Fairmont citizens who want TO build houses to
with that great firm of contractors to have it done
That hint that ought to be given careful consdera
ton by all who contemplate building either for per-
sonal use or investment The Ley firm will bring great
construction plant t. this city and without doubt they
will be able to undertake construction of individual
homes under very favorable conditions At all events
those who have plans for dwellings will do well to con
suit with their local representatives.

show familiarity with the arts of what for want Of
better name is sometimes called The System9
A chief Of police who wants 10 sleep well and enjoy the
esteem of his neghbors should avoid even the appearance
of protecting those who violate the law.
The label the present administration sets forth
that the contents is Reform per cent pure, and some
attempt should be made to live up to the specifications
An unfortunate combination of tender heart and feel
ing that the laws were made only for Hnies and fellows
who do not stand in with the Gang in time made the police
work of the last administration farce and expense for
which the taxpayers got mighty little benefit Chief Moran
ought to realize that he cannot go far along that line with
out hopeessly compromising himself.
let those who offend look after their regulations themselves
The chief may not know it but not much be done in
town as small as this for an individual who drives up in
front of the postoce and proceeds to fall into drunken
sleep by ling to hush tks matter up at City hall.
