best, sButyon have had the FIRST, sec
On0 third and fourth innings, while
this IS our second and We prefer 1t
to b. our last We are reminded from
the number of articles that appeared
in last weeks Courier OF a man and
his wife who could never agree. The
husband said to his wife, ''If you say
one other crooked word I will throw
you In the lake and you may drown"
Running through her mind like a
flash she said, "Ram's horn" This
was the crookedest word she could
recall. She was thrown in the lake
and rose with blubbels in her mouth,
but no words came. She sank again
and rose as before. At the third time,
realizing that II she had the last word
she would have to do 1t in some
other way, she crooked her finger as
the last possible effort to say the last
crooked word. We are done with the
matter If the editor Is. Still &e re-
serve the right to claim our third
inning.
In conclusion, we insist in all good
fellowship that II the editor knows
the statements he has made to be
true, we invite him to our confidence,
assuring him that we viii be only
too glad to assist in any way possible
In rishtfng these tremendous evils.

He Is so we'll known in Beltor
