Mr.. Spongedry came home the other
night wet. Not externally, but inter-
nally; he had in some mysterious
manner become liquored up. With
uncertain footsteps he climbed the
stairs, with itchy, nervous fingers he
finally managed to get his clothes off,
and with swimming head he lay down
in his bed. Mrs. Spongedry had,
however, heard his anti-catlike tread.
Thinking to brighten him, she covered
her head with a sheet and approached
his bed. Spongedry sat up in bed and
gased in wonder at the spook. "Who
is that" he asked. 81 am a ghost,n

for which the state paid bounty of

invited some dyed in the wool Texans
to see the first chase. Before long a
wolf was sighted. And the dog was
freed from the leash. The chase was
on, but although the party wandered
mile after mile, they found no trace
of either the dog or the wolf. At last
they reached clearing where a ma
tive was chopping wood, and the Brit
isher cried: II say, old chap, did

A RENT these short skirts the most
sensible style you ever saw? |
think they're the best thing that ever
happened TO this old world" Thus
saith an unmarried woman. Well
say they are, they are. Had we time
we would make an argument and
quote statistics TO show that not only
10 the short skirt sensible, but it is
sanitary to the degree that T. B. is
going out As the short skirt comes In.
For purely material reasons the short
skirt does not drag the street and
stir up the germs. Due TO the short
skirt, women are wearing much more
attractive hose than they did in the
days Of the long skirt, and they keep
them in better repair, We rarely see
. lady on the street wearing hose with
holes In them. Women who wear
short skirts look years younger, Of
tsntimes, and It is not due to hand
painting, either. And after . mother
has been mistaksn for her daughter
. few times, all on account Of the at
tractiveness Of her short skirt, she's
bound to feel younger. That's the
psychology Of It. But We fear the
unmarried lady quoted above made =
tactical error in explaining that the
style IL sensible. We hasten to
strengthen her position by agreeing
that it is not only sensible, but at
tractivo.

true, but Butterfeld's history of
Grant County, says the population
was estimated at about 1,300. The
incorporation of the village was re-
pealed in the very early f1fties, and
the clerks books disappeared and no
official record of the village was OBJ
tainable, hence no one knows. what
the population was at that time. The
present village of Potosi was incor-
porated in 1885. 1t then required
500 inhabitants to incorporate-now
about half that number may incor-
porate.
