Just Plain Ignorance.

There are lot of people in this
world who are not appreciative of
really high-class singing.
Minnie Gates is one of them. She
can't see any difference between
grand opera and grand uproar.
Pauline Thomas has a b-e-e-utiful
voice. So her critics say anyhow.
Monday night Pauline let loose with
song from Carmen" She was

Habit, That's All.

Harold warner and a fellow named
Harris used to room together.
One morning Harold awoke Harris
rather early.
Some one stole your money and my
money" exclaimed Harold. and we
are Outa luck on the room rent"
'Oh yes" replied Harris. No one
knows anything about it but me and
you"
DO you mean to insinuate that
stole the money!" asked Harold.
Il know you stole it," remarked
Harris. as he went after Detective
Bradley.
And sure enough, Harold was the
guilty one. He had not only robbed
Harris. but also several other people
who roomed in the same house.
The man was a street car conductor
and therefore he was used to taking
things.
He had come all the way from
South Dakota to get a job in Wash
ington.
Harold had no explanation for his
stunt. He pleaded guilty to about a
half-dozen charges of larceny.
And $50 the court let him have five
months in the jug

1t happened during a crap game

1t happened during a crap game.
One of the players. Harry Miller,
would frequently stop the game and
ask George Wilson, another player,
to lend him a cigarette.
This interruption always came
when the bones were about to look
mighty good to George.
When the game was about half
over George felt in his pocket for
some more money and he didn't
have a cent.
His pocket had been picked. At
first he had no idea who did it.
All of a sudden he accused Harry.
The rest of the players nodded their
heads in full accord.
This cigarette stall was used by
Harry. George claimed, to take his
attention from his pockets while
they were being picked.
While George would hold a lighted
match to Harry's cigarette. the lat
ter would get in his work.
The missing money amounted to
sass, whole days pay for George.
1t was found on Harry. So were
other things taken from the other
players.
Two dollars and sixty-six cents is
a small bunch of money to go to
Jail month for. but that was what
the court figured out for Harry.

TOWN LOCALS

We presume there never was a
newspaper in any locality that gave
all the local happenings. 1t is often
that someone comes or goes that the
reporter does not see. 1t happens
that the family is missed several
times. They get the impression that
the editor does not care to mention
them. This is a mistake. In most
country towns the local work is the
hardest work connected with a news
paper. A man may be good editor
ial writer, but fiat failure in the To-
cal work, and vice versa. Editorial
material is obtained by study, by
reading newspapers, sometimes by
using scissors. Persons and local
happenings can't be read and clip
ped from other papers, not by Jug
full. 1t takes physical as we'll as
mental exertion to get out four or
six columns of local news in town
of this size. Most people take local
paper 10 get the local news. Don't
be afraid to tell the editor or re-
porter that you have friends visit
ing you. There are lots of people
who are interested in your friends.
You owe it as duty to them to let
your friends know of their doings.
Perhaps you think the paper shows
partiality, but just see if the paper
doesn't treat you right if you give
it chance.
