THE PEDDLE X.

The peddler greets me at my
door. and he has things to sell,
some dope to stain kitchen
floor, patent dinner bell; but
/ can buy them at the store
from j. Augustus Smell. The
peddler has no interests here
he doesn't pay the freight; he
doesn't chip in every year to
keep the tax list straight; and
so l say. Please, disappear"
and shoe him from my gate. 1t
may be he sells better junk
than Smell does at the store:
but if | spend with him a plunk.
I'll never see him more. and if
find His goods are punk, twill be
no use to roar. But il at j.
Augustus SMELLS / buy quilt
ing frame, and find il isn't
wearing bells, it's workmanship
TO blame, l seek that merchant
where he dwells, and climb upon
his frame. And he'll produce
another frame, or else refund
the cash; he can't afford TO win
a fame for selling worthless
trash; it's up to him to play
the game or see his business
smash. And j. Augustus nobly
stacks when boosting schemes
abound, and j. Augustus pays
his tax without a doleful sound,
and joins the boys who sprain
their backs TO make the wheels
so round. The peddlers TO our
village trek and then they dis
appear, and little, little do they
reck what problems we may
fear; but j. Augustus is on
deck all through the fateful
year.

THE EVENING SMILE.
WHAT HURT HIM.

AS the story goes, il was an un-
named university's first important
game of the season. Early in the first
period the star fullback had his ear
torn half off. II was nasty injury,
terribly painful, of course, and it bled
alarmingly. There. seemed TO be
nothing TO do but take the man out.
But to everyone's surprise and ad-
miration, he snorted at the idea; called
for a bandage and went on playing.
A little later the same player lay
fiat on the ground after the whistle
blew. kicking and moaning in obvious
agony. 1t was a fearful moment. The
team gathered around him, the cheer
ing section held its breath, the trainer
white to the lips, dashed out on the
field. For heavens sake, man, what's
the natter" he cried.

the future welfare and growth of this region and it

Some of these people will be summer tourists, conf

weeks, of rest and refrcshment among the Colorado
mountains Some of them will be delegates to one or
another of numerous conventions assemblies Some
will be health seekers and some will be looking for
opportunities of Investment of home building in the
new west Some of them will be Just plain men and
women looking for plain jobs.
All of these visitors together constitute trc-
mcndous opportunity to forward PuebIos interests If

Judge Lands Impeachment

judge of a court of the United States may be
presumed to have the privilege that is enjoyed by
other citizen of the United States to take inter
est in baseball and help keep the national game clean
and successful.
judge of the United States has the same
privilege that enjoyed by every other citizen in
his personal income by proper activities and in
proper ways outside of his professional employment.
judge of the United States court has no right to
do any thing to accept any thing in such way to
interfere with the impartial performance of his duties
as judge
These statements arc of scfevident truths and
having made these statements about all has been said
than be said in connection with the charges made
against Judge Lands in congress yesterday.
Whether the baseball activities of Judge Lands con-
sue serious disparasemcnt of his official duties and
dignity is matter of opinion rather than a matter of
fact and there is plenty of for argument on both
sides of this question. 1t may be suspected however,
that his connection with baseball the excuse rather
than the real for pressing these particular
charges against Judge Lands. His record is that of
Judge who has discharged his duties in rather spec
tacular well fearless way and he has no doubt
made many enemies who would be glad of an oppor
tunity TO bring discrcdit and dishonor upon him

Pine cough syrups are combinations
Of pine and syrup. The SYRUP" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2h ounces
of Pinex in a pin. bottle. and fill up
with home made sugar syrup. Or you
can use clarified molasses, honey. or corn

The Romance Of Words
"CUANCEJIOR-

Copyright. 1921. by tho Wheeler Syn
dicatc. fnc)
That tho title of such an exalted
pcrsonaEc as the lord high chancellor
of England should have any connoc-
ton with a latticc-work grille seems
absurd. pntil We examine tho history
of the office Itself and observe the
way 1t has grown from post OF
minor Importance to one OF the great
est dignity.
In tho days OF tho Roman empire,
a chancellor" was a petty officer sta
toned at the lattice work Jcanccllus)
or grating in a law court and charged
with the duty of introducing such
persons as were entitled TO pass in
side. Later, in the Eastern empire
the chancellor was promoted to the
position of "A secretary who sat i'm
modiatcly inside the Erating-an Of
fetal invested with judicial functions
and, ultimately. with "A superinten-
dence over the other and lesser dig
nitarics Of the empire.
From this position to that of lord
chancellor of England is not a long
step, particularly when the length OF
tho intervening timc is considered.
but 1t is interesting to note that even
tho title OF the lord high chancellor
retains tho reference to the lattice
work near which his humble prode-
cessors performed their duties.

chance OF being selected as New Eng

How the Pearl Tailed Bird

On the morning that the pussy
willows hoped out Of their Winter
furry beds, the queer old woman
with the basket came through the
forest. At first the peepinE crea-
lures did not see her. for she was
dressed in leafy brown Just like
the trees Of Winter. and her brown
shoes trod over the dried leaves,
very very gently.
But her song called them forth
from cave and nest, den and bush.
for 1t was the song of Spring that
lets no creature hide. And as she
sang she strew her pathway with
little packages taken from her bas-
ket, smells Of violets. songs OF
birds. running Of brooks. and laugh
Ing OF children.
"Old Mother in Brown, why come
you here What Is your basket
for, think You that 1t Is tho season
of mushrooms" piped saucy
sparrow.
Then the old woman spoke to the
birds and furry things watching her
VIII sharp eyes.
II do not gather, scatter. my
children" said she Come nearer
me and have no fear. Look within
my basket and take that which
pleases you"
Eagerly they ali crowded close
to her BASKET and sqQealed and
cheeped In Joy at sight Of her xifts.
Mr.. Blue Jay found a new, bright
blue suit for himself and a clean
white collar to take homo to Mrs.
Blue Jay. who was bssy furnishing
their new Spring home.
The muskrat took q handful OF
yellow cowslips to put outside hts
mud house. The squirrel chose 4
tiny broom OF green twigs with
which TO sweep away the dried nuts
and shucks all over the floor OF
their winter home. There were
balls Of bright string for tho nest
builders. songs for those who had
lost their voices, and now feathers
for all the faded and be-draggied
ones.
At last the basket was almost
empty. and the Little Pink Bird had
been given no gift. The old woman
was about to turn away when she
saw the sad face OF the Little Pink
Bird. Then she saw that he, claws

No Need For Hurry

For some reason the Wilson administration seem.
in hurry to abandon some of its adventures in
foreign lands Having undertaken very serious engage
mcnts in Hatti, San Domingo and elsewhere the pres
cnt desire of Democratic officials seems to be TO get
out before the Republican administration comes into
power next month
Such haste is suspicious. If the Democratic off
cals IN those distant lands have been doing anything
that will not bear investigation they should not be re-
leased from their responsibility until all the facts arc
known On the other hand if those Democratic officials
arc really doing something in those lands that is worth
dong 1t is hardly fair of them pull out now and leave
to their successors nothing than the records of
their Unfinished work.

Production and Distribution

In the war period two classes of people participated
IN the discussion of industrial questions The first
was composed of those who honestly concerned
about the terms and conditions of production about
the distribution of the products of industry among
various classes of producers In this class were TO be
found wage earners managers and capitalists, all of
whom held varying views about hours wages conditions
of work, profits invested capital and other matters
but all of whom agreed that production must con-
tnuc If the nation was to be kept from disaster.
The end of the and the return of peace has
brought change in the subjects of industrial discus
sion but the two classes above specified arc still active

nuo industrial production necessary condition of
national prosperity and to distribute the results of in
