Dear Sir:
rye lust received a Wyoming news
paper with the announcement that
YOU have been held under a BOND LOT
some sort of combat with one, Bruce
Hodge. 1 will state that this Bruce
d is not, and never was a fit per-
son to hold any sort of officers com
mission. He has always been a crank
irving to hold some sort OF a COM
mission, He was a drunkard, easily
misled and with little reasoning pow
er.
Hodge assaulted me in the
town of Buffalo, Wyoming. some time
in 1915 and while 1 was crippled he
ATTEMPTED to do me bodily harm roF
some imaginary reason and threaten
cd nv life in the presence of the JUS
tice of the peace of Buffalo. He one
time threatened this same justice De-
cause he fined him for drunkenness.
He ia a dangerous man to be en-
trusted with any sort of a commiS'

MRS. ALICE JONES
HAS DIAMOND TOOTH
Brilliant Smile of Colored Maid
Due to Novelty in Dentistry
Stone in Gold Setting

The bright, not to say dazzling,
smile of Mrs. George Walkers col
ored maid, Alice Jones, has been fire.
quently commented upon by callers
at the Walker residence. There
were few, however, observing enough
to note that, in the matter of Alice's
radiant smile, Nature had been as
sisted.
While the lily may not be improved
by painting, a bright smile may be
made brighter by artificial methods,
as DR.. VIM. Johnson, a colored dentist
of st. Louis, Missouri. readily proved
when he set a diamond in the gold
front tooth he put in among Alice's
cleaning worries.
Naturally, it is not a Tiffany setting,
as this style would make an unbe-
coming protuberance and interfere
with the free play of the wearer's
upper lip, but is Embedded deeply
enough in the gold to prevent irrita-
ton and yet enough above the sur
face to shine forth brilliantly when
the light strikes 1t.
The diamond was set in at the sug-
gestion of DIR. Johnson, who makes a
specially Of something different in
dentistry. and while he charged Alice
well for the novelty she has never re-
GREETED the cost of 1t.
The expression. "She flashed a
smile at him." in such high favor with
authors, is no mere figure of speech
when applied to the good looking col
ored maid who opens the door at the
Walkers.

A. SCHWOOD IS
CHAMP FISHERMAN
Rank Outsider Slips In and Out
angles Experts Wins Sea-
sons Prize With
73-4Ib. Rainbow

Trout records have been smashed
with such b%ewildering rapidity the
last few days that it is hard for the
competitors themselves to keep up
With their status.
With the season closing on Novem-
Der 30th. and $50 in the kitty" the
local champs have been fishing in
something like a frenzy in the hope
of outdoing each other and walking
off with with the seasons honors and
the Doodle.
Judge w. s. Owens has held the
record since October 18th and, with a
rainbow trout weighing six and a
quarter pounds to his credit, was sit
ting back on his launches, secure and
complacent in the belief that nobody
could surpass this achievement.
Then, last Friday, the of
the Judges mouth dropped suddenly.
Levi Sommers came in with a rain
bow trout of astonishing measure
ments which he had caught two miles
above the Corbett dam. 1t weighed
7h pounds after being seven and a
half hours out of the water, was 26h
inches in length, IA inches around
and had a tail spread of z inches.
This put the Judge on his mettle;
he spit on his hands and his hook
and started off early last Sunday
morning, fishing all day feverishly'
but without any luck whatever.
In the meantime Levi Sommers was
walking around with a smile like a
half-moon until Monday, when 1t
faded. Loren Schwoob went up to
the Shoshone dan and came home
with a trout weighing tx pounds
beating Levi by a quarter Of a pound.
Unless somebody beats this by the
S0th, when the season closes,
money will go to Loren Schwoob, the
dark horse, who has not been reckon
ed a serious rival by the experts.
The prize OF $50 is a pool made by
the local fishermen. other notewor-
thy catches of the season were those
of Sybil Wilson. 8 lbs; L. l.. Thomas,
4 lbs; Arthur Con. 8 lbs, 2oz. and j..
w. Rousseau, 8 lbs.

Hens and Humans
A THANKSGIVING SERMONETTE
By Rev. D. R. Blaske

In a little town in Kansas is a hen. The value of this hen
is rated at ten thousand dollars. This hen can produce more
eggs and better eggs than any other hen in the world. lust
across the COW path from this ten-thousand dollar hen are
other hens. Their owner gives strict attention to diet and
watering and ventilation and cleanliness. He apparently ne
elects nothing in the care of his hens. Yet he cannot get them
to produce the number and quality of eggs that the ten thous-
and dollar hen does. So one day a committee of preplexed
farmers waited upon the owner of the ten thousand dollar hen
to beg from him the secret of his successful care of hens.
This is what he said: "a hen to do its best needs more than
water and food; it needs contentment. A discounted hen won't
lay eggs"
1t is true even to a greater degree with humans that a.
discontinued person is an inefficient person. Success
comes to those who are of a thankful and sunny spirit. In the
home, on the streets in our places of business-whereever we
may be and whatever we may be doing-let us reflect the con-
tented mind. This may be done by the hearty hand shake, the
pleasant smile, the CHEEKY greeting and especially by an opti-
mistic outlook on life.
1 cannot get away from the fact that a persons mental
attitude toward a thing determines to a great degree the eff
teet of that thing upon him las a man thinketh, SO is he"

petty prejudices. Then we should have a little more kindness
for all a little more charity for each other, a broader view and
a higher aim. The trouble is that we are trying to sit in judg-
nent over each other and most of us niserably fail because
that is a JOB that only Almighty, God can do. Boost Cody,

our Thanksgiving prayer be a genuinely kindly effort to know
each other better.
