AN INCIDENT AT SHORTY'S

Fer nothin's deader than a town,
Where every saddles been in soak
Fer sixty days, an hands is broke,
An waitin' fer the grass to start
With might nigh a prayer at heart.

He'd soaked his spurs-inlaid they

When Cayuse loses, an I think
He sloughed the games by playin'
rank,
But when he paid, I'll say l drank.
Bimeby a whistle cuts the night
An then the headlight comes in

It's Number One, an slowin' down,
She stops an drops a man in town.
He heads across the railroad track,
The gale a proddin' at his back
Till, pantin' like a winded colt
He lands in Shorty's for a jolt.
He drinked alone Il hope to die!

Chamberlain Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy

This is unquestionably one of the
most successful medicines in use for
bowel complaints. A few doses of
it will cure an ordinary attack of
diarrhoea. 1t has been used in nine
epidemics of dysentery with perfect
cussess. 1t can always be depended
upon to give prompt relief in cases
of collie and cholera morbus. When
reduced with water and sweetened
it is pleasant to take. Every family
should keep this remedy at hand.

Peanut has only worked about four

states that he anticipates no trouble

Mt Crested Butte Wednesday night, ad-
vising them to stay with their jobs,
and arguing that they would make
much more In the reduction, but at q

in the southern fields. Thiresn mines

been declared In Huerfano county, and
Il II probable that the state militia
may be mobilixed at once. The force
Of Colorado Rangers 10 being recruit
ed up to $50. their present strength

The company says the need for low
err prices to the consumer and the fact
that steady work will be given thru
the reduction, are the reasons assign
ed for the action.
On the other hand labor officials
scof at the company claim that the
reduction in wages was ordered in
compliance with request from the
men or that II was made to bring down
the price Of coal.
The men declare that by testimony
at the hearings Of the Colorado Indus
trial commission II was proved that the.
cost Of producing ton Of coal at one
mine was $2.64 and that the company
sold the same coal at the dpplc at Sc.
This was (. o. b. mine, which means
that the company made a net profit of
SO. on every ton of coal produced, and
IL the C. +. & !. really wants somebody
to believe that it seeks to lower the
price Of coal It would be reasonable to
ask that the reduction be begun by
cutting of some Of this profit.
