Mrs. Mason sat at side window and
watched two persons walking in the
| lot next door. She could see them
through the hedge and she was smiling
disdainfully. The two persons were a
motherly looking woman and a pretty
girl, rather plainly attired.

served Mrs. Mason with a toss Of her
head. They appear to be inspecting
our hedge. trust it meets their
approval. IF it does not, OF course,
we shall be obliged to cut It down |!

more ruefully. II should be glad to
do so. though, If thought Theda would
welcome me-
Mrs. Mason's eyes flashed.
'Theda! Let me see, that's the

she was your nurse when you had that
operation. So she has followed you
out here in order TO make a match for
herself, has she? That's the way with
nurses. They weave themselves about
the hearts Of their patients, and the
first thing you know the patient is
gone. Even social distinctions are some

as any other servant
This time it was Hehry's eyes that
flashed.
Mother" he said. with forced
calmness, "you have the wrong idea.
In the first place, nurses are not
servants. In the second place, it was
not you that caused us to break up. It

could get you to sanction it and well

"A fine chance of that! !" shifted Mrs
Mason. "No common folks ever will

The other members of the family

for her services, but the latter spurned
all offers.

body" she said. Tim glad my knowl-
edge has proved useful"
From then on Mrs. Mason was n
changed person. Common people
ceased to be words Of her vocabulary.
Two evenings following the profess
sional call Of Thcda the dictator Of the
Mason household sat at the side window
in company with her stepson. Through
the hedge they could see Mrs. kinden
and her daughter spading ground for
flower garden.
Henry" said Mrs. Mason, Il

of the hedge.
A few nights later the Mason
household was aroused by Gloria, who
was suffering commissions. Tho telc-
phone was out Of order and the family
car was laid up for repairs, while Mr..
Mason had sold his business roadster
and had not yet invested in a new one.

What Is The Most Valuable
Piece Of Land in The
State Of Wyoming?
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

PONDER AND THINK BEFORE READING
THE BALANCE OF THIS AID!
Thinking is wholesome. 1t is the only thing that has
made civilization possible. Many things enter into the
value of real estate-gold and silver and precious stones
may be imbedded therein awaiting the prospectors PICK
and when uncovered smile up to him in their brilliant
radiance and in their dumb language tell him of their in
c~alculable value.
Thousands of agencies enter into the values of Real
Estate, but after all, the greatest agency is the needs of
man. The most ardent need of man is at that place where
he is most numerous, and in casting youreye down Center
Street in the City of Casper, it can be said without contra
diction, that he is most numerous~at Center and Second.
Streets. More people pass and repass this corner than any
other place in the entire state.
We are offering the people of Casper and vicinity an
opportunity to invest their money in the H SPOT
in the OF WYOMING-under the most efficient
business management that the most s%crupuious investor
can demand.
BRENNAN needs no introduction to the peo-
pie of Casper. No business man has achieved more sue
cess than he has since his arrival here. AS a Snowman, he
is without a peer in the northwest. His fame is not cir
cumscribed within the limits of a few states, but extends
throughout the entire country, and his ability in that
behalf is as well known in southern California as in Cas-
per. Not alone as to the selections of the productions
shown but he has the rare trait that a business man should
have in order to make a success of any undertaking,
to-wit:
The Financial Side of the Theatrical Enterprise
1t needs no argument to show to the investor that Mr..
Brennan has made a great success in that behalf.
Space will not permit us to explain our entire PROPOSE
ton but our solicitors will interview you within a short
time and explain our opportunity in its entirety.
The affairs of the Company will be under directorate of
some of the most prominent business men in the City of
Casper, whose past business achievements have been
crowned with success.

PRINCIPLES.

Attorney General Daugherty has a sound SENSE Of
values" observes the Washington Post He shows
his knowledge in his speech delivered before the joint
session of the American Bar association and the Ohio
State Bar association in Cincinnati. When he &C.
clared that without respect for law. life, liberty and
property are insecure, he uttered a solemn truth
Every crime wave, every deed of violence. every
concerted attack on law and order, every open hout-
ing of the statutes and authority, If it goes unpun-
ished and unheeded, tends to weaken the structure of
national life. Obedience to the laws of God and man
must be taught and practiced, else there will be a
gradual decline in civilization, Us is SO glaringly shown
in Russia today.
'.The laws of this country are of the making of the
people themselves. The people can unmake them, just
as they made them. II they are dissatisfied with any
existing statutes, they have an easy and effective rem
edy in the ballot There is no need for them to vio-
late laws when they can so. readily, IL it is the sense
of the majority, change them to suit themselves. Mean
while, as the attorney general points out, all laws
must be enforced, for, as he says, The government
will endure on the rock of law enforcement, or it will
perish in the quicksands of lawlessness'"

Some one has said Of Mazxtni that

Jesus represents humanity Al its

But although Jesus enemies cruel

They lifted him up on a cross where

SIMPLY GET BUSY.

Mr.. Carl Jackson, federal prohibition director for
Wyoming, is in distress and rs is usual with federal Of
fcias, he turns to the newspapers of the state for
help.
The Tribune has never in its history turned a deaf
ear to n federal official or anyone else who needed
help that we were able to render.
Mr.. jackson is receiving numerous anonymous let
tiers from persons in this vicinity reporting violations
of phases of the prohibition laws. These correspond
ents of course want action, but they fail to sign their
names to the complaints. He has wisely declined to
investigate this class of cases because in his expert
ence and the experience of others in similar matters,
the person complaining is all too frequently actuated
by motives of personal grievance and that the testi-
mony of the wrong doing Of others is based wholly
upon suspicion
We are not informed rs to what these anonymous
communications contain and are little concerned about
them, but if Mr.. Jackson is a regular prohibition di-
rector and desires to direct, he can come to Casper
and find enough to keep him busy directing for some
time. It is a matter of common knowledge that there
are about seventeen places in the city of Casper where
liquor is sold more or less openly, and persons of
knowledge in such matters maintain that there are at
least three hundred stills in operation in the county.
It would be no trouble at all for Mr.. Jackson to Sc
cure information of these practices direct, and not by
anonymous suggestions, insinuatioLs, or spite reports,
if he saw fit to tackle the job.
We are certain it is not The Tribune's task to en-
force the prohibition laws. We have in Wyoming city

In R OF WASTE.

The way in which the Republicans in congress are
not receiving support from their Democratic col
leagues in their campaign for economy and retrench-
ment is illustrated in a resolution introduced by 4
senator from Texas. He would authorize the commit
zee on manufactures of the senate to investigate 1.-THE
practicability Of establishing a bureau Of manufacture
at the seat of government for the purpose of study
ing manufacture in all its forms and drfusing infor-
nation relating thereto among the people Of the
United States" A a time when the tendency is to
yards coordination of government activities. and re-
erenchment Of expenditures wherever possible, the es-
adjustment of such a bureau would-be folly. The OPP
portunity for developer ent Of n bureau Of manufae-
ture would be almost lmitless, until it would easily ex-
coed all others in cost and personnel OF course there
would also be vast duplication Of work, as the depart
ment of labor and commerce and the Federal trade
commission are now dealing with most Of the subjects
that n bureau of that sort would handle.
The senator's resolution will likely not get any
where but it demonstrates that a Democratic states
man simply thinks in terms Of waste Of the peoples
money.

Grain for export from the west is going into New
