 Girls, why girls" but Billy was too tired for argument, and his words trailed off into a long sleepy yawn, and he settled himself for a nap, and Mamie, too, was soon off in slumber- land, and it was several hours later when they were aroused by voices, and each pricked up all ear to hear Ned saying:
 T may have my pick of them, mayn't I, father?''
 Men give ladies first choice, my son" replied MT. Dodge, a large. we'll built man with a kind voice. Here's Harriet" he added significantly.
 ''But, father, I thought you bought them for me. realIly. Harriet didn't want a goat at all. You know she didn't
 Because she doesn't know what a good plaayfellow a goat ccan be, eh, Harriet?" laughed her father, giving her a playful pinch on the cheek
 T did want a don," and the lips quivered a little, as she sought her fathers hand for comfort.
 My girl spends too much time over her doll family now. She must for get them this summer, and live out of doors Roses must blow in these cheeks before fall, and a goat will help you put them there"
 Heres the hammer said Ned, who had broken away from the group and now came back carrying a hat chet. Do hurry and let 'em out and , then we can decide which is to be- long to Harriet and which to me"
 It took some time and work to loosen the confining bars and Mrs. Dodge was thoughtful enough to slip ; a strap around Billy's neck before re- leasing him altogether, for it was on his crate that work began.
 Oh, how good it was to be free again, Billy thought, as he stepped out.

 Then Mamie was given her free-t dom, and she stood meekly beside her brother, stretching every muscle and tossing her head to show her appreciation of release
 It would have turned any ordinary goats head to hear all the lavish conn pliments MT. Dodge and Ned heaped on the pair, while Harriet stood near by, a little afraid to approach near her new pet.

DINNER STORIES

A vicar of a scattered rural parish had a remarkable knowledge or fun- gi. So keen was he on his hobby, that he sometimes neglected his pas- tora1 work to search fors specimens. One day he stopped to see a bedrid- den old lady, who immediately re- minded him how long it was since he had made his last call. 'If I had been toadstool" she declared, you'd have been to see me long ago!"
 You used to cook for Mrs. Gad- der?" asked Mrs. Clipping.
 "Yes, num-"
 Does that woman ever stay at home ?"
 Well. mum, now that's queer. You're askin' me the same question poor MT. Calder used to come back in the kitchen an ask me two or three times a week. an I sez to you as I sez to him, she never do.'
 ..You didn't take that divorce case ?"
 "No. When I asked my fair visitor what grounds she had for seeking a divorce from her husband she said she'd met another man who was q perfect dear

SHERIDAN HEARS
HODGES VERSION
Of STREET BATTLE

The Sheridan Post prints the fol-
lowing interview with Galen B. Hodge
under the headline, HODGE BAT
TIE HAS CODY MEN IN TOLLS"
Bruce Hodge. federal prohibition
agent. who was beaten up in a con-
fiict with Harry Wizard, town marshal
OF Cody. and a party of his support
ers, recently, is in Sheridan, where
he makes his headquarters, recuper-
ating from his injuries.
HE wao the victim of an assault
by forces opposing the federal prohi-
bition officers, he said last night.
"In the fight with Wizard. in which
Hodge shot Wizard in the leg, Hodges
injuries consisted OF numerous scalp
and facial wounds, and the brea king
of his upper Jaw and six teeth.
Hodge declared Wizard and several
supporters meant to kill him in an
o~ut-of-the-way place, and did succeed
in having him fined for drunkenness
and getting the story spread through
out the state, after he had escaped
from them. His reputation with the
local officials, however, is said to be
clean, and the report that he was
drunk was declared as absurd by
M. C. Wachtel, deputy federal prohi-
bition director for Wyoming.
"The final round in the story is yet
to come with the arrest on federal
warrants of Wizard and Rex Spencer,
his assistant. The men are to be TAX.
en- to Cheyenne for trial before a fed.
eral court on a charge of interferign
with a government officer. In addi-
ton. Spencer will be accused on evil
dence obtained by prohibition agents

HIGH COST OF LIVING
DOES NOT JU ST|FY
COS. EXPENDITURES

An increase in the cost Of living is
n explanation offered for the 80 per
cent advance in the cost of maintain
ing government in Park Couty during
the administration of the present
board of county commissioners of
which S. A. Watkins is chairman.
There is no foundation for this
statement, as can readily be shown
by a comparison of prices during the
periods which were used as a basis
upon which to estimate the advance
In cost of county government.
The years 1917-191S were war times
and the farmers Were receiving war
time prices for their commodities, and
prospecting. Today they are working
for nothing and borrowing money at
10 per cent to pay their taxes.
These figures speak for themselves,
and say plainly that there is no JUS
LITIGATION for the disproportionate ex-
penditures under the administration
of Messrs. Watkins. Pease and Web

Judge Fred H. Blume, who is a can
didate for reelection as n of tho
justices of the Supreme Court, has
rendered faithful n efficient SER
vice to the people during his term Of
office. He went on the bench after
23 years experience in his profession
in Sheridan, and, having given up his
practice, it is felt that he deserves
election for at least a following term.
He is the only candidate from the
Northern counties and the Supreme
Court judgeship should be ~equitably
divided over the State. The office Is
non-partisan. so republicans and dem
ocrats alike should see that Judge
Blume is kept on the bench by giving
