One of our personable young men bet rather heavily on his favorite ball team recently, and after he had liqui dated, found he had less than dollar left, with payday three days off. He has horror of debt or borrowing, so resolved to make the money do, and almost starved for three days. Then payday came and he cashed his check, resolving to eat three square meals in one. While putting his money away in his wallet, he found $20 bill that had evidently been there for some time and overlooked. Now he don't know whether to be sore because he didn't hungry or to be glad that he didn't know he had it when the betting fever was on. We didn't learn the young mans name, but perhaps brother Uel Bobbitt can identify him.
 Sometimes the cowboys when in town forget that things here are not just like they are out in the tall sticks.

One of his friends, who cites Or. F.. S. Miller. as substantiating witness, tells of M. J. Riordan that the last time that gentleman was in Chicago he went into Marshall Fields for few moments. Leaving there, he had walked a couple of blocks, when sud- denly he stopped and exclaimed:
 "There, I've come away and left my umbrella in that store"
 So he started back to see if he could find it, When he got to the door, he had to reach up and let down his um- brella before he could get through the door.

DANGER! BEWARE!

A woman who was too economical to subscribe for her home paper sent her little son to borrow the copy taken by her neighbor In his haste the boy ran over four dollar stand of bees and in ten minutes looked like warty sum- mer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and, failing to notice barbed wire fence, ran into it, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy, running a five dollar pair of pants. The old COW took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corntield and killed herself eating corn. Hear ing the racket, the mother ran. upset a four gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. In her hurry she dropped and broke, past all hope of mending, a twenty-five dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor, running a twenty dollar carpet. Dur ing the excitement the eldest daugh- ter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens, and the calves got out and chewed the tails off of four fine shirts.
 And all to save ten cents!

And then for his life he could not see why The rivers should any more water sup ply. And he swore if they furnished an

And promised himself on their slimey brink, The control of all who from them should drink. He saw there was one more improve ment to make, So imported the scorpion and rattle snake, That all who came to this country to dwell Would be sure to think it almost hell.

The judge asked the court stenographer to read Aunt Dicey the testimony, in order that she might say if it had been properly transcrib- ed. Aunt Dicey interrupted: Hedge, did you put it down dat is fifty-six years old ?"

 Dr. F., S. Miller was treating fam fly that had been having an epidemic of colds and sore throats. Each re- ceived the doctors favorite prescrip- ton for powder and gargle. Finally the maid, a recent importation from Poland, fell ill. The lady of the house, Mrs. G., tried to give her the pow der and gargle, but she insisted on having Dr. Miller. When the latter came, he prescribed as usual.
 "Now, you see," said Mrs. C., "he is giving you exactly the same things took"
 "I won't take dem," responded the maid. Doctor, you are a sensible man. ask you, is id right a single girl should take de same medicine as married woman vid children"
 It is estimated that the fashionable woman's costume today weighs 3 lbs :: Shoes, 2 lbs.; stockings, oz.; skirt, 8 ozs.; georgette blouse, 3 ozs.; com bination, ozs.; handkerchief, F oz. !; war paint, F OF.
 Mebbe so, but we think the proper guage of a modern lady's fashionable costume is the wedding ring. If she can draw all her clothes through the ring at one time, she's dressed in proper conformity to modish scarcity.

by u candidate outside Of Bernnlillu
county the si,5G5' Chevrolet would go
to an outside worker. This would
make 1t necessary that the highest

II Is not At all impossible for out
OF town people TO win either OF the
three cars or any two of the three
cars n the same rule would apply "a

SPENDING AWAY FROM HOME

American tourists mean money. So, no doubt, do the touring war profi- teers of our own kith and kin. The Americans however, mean dollars, and their dollars spent in this4 4coun- try lessen the burden of an adverse exchange. If room can be found for them, there is 8 prospect that our American visitors will spend here enough American money to pay a years interest on our debt to the United States. It is good business in every sense to make a special effort. It can be made successfully if our ho- tel keepers will make definite plans in concert and agree upon 8 practical scheme. If they fail to see and use this opportunity, they will add points to the accusation that Americans are needed in England to teach us how to run hotels.-Londen Daily Ez- press
