 We hear good deal about mans inhumanity to man. but We guess most of the musical instruments could tell a tale of horror of the eruelties practiced on them-and the neighbors could youch for their stories.
 We guess no woman ever stops to think, as she surveys her latest gown with such pride, that in 20 years from now her daughter will wear it to a masquerade and get first prize for having the funniest costume there.
 It Is wiser to ba good Chan to he naughty, but gosh! it sometimes does seem as if wisdom wasn't any more popular than the income tax.

 A man may not be small enough to hide behind woman's skirts, but there are mighty few of them who won't hide behind their newspapers when they see lady getting on the ear.
 One thing every married man has learned is that getting his salary raised never has helped him any in making ends meet.
 When you hear of wife going for her husband it does not mean she is saving him any steps.

thing but Summer in
This Section

Custom throughout the ages has
caused one to associate the shortest
day of the year with wintry blasts
and SHOWS. and the longest day with
summer heat and sunshine, calling
for B. V. Ds., straw hats and Palm
Beach suits for men and and flimsy
creations for women.
Yesterday was the longest day of
the year, and with the exception Of
few of the daring ones, B. V. DIS.
still repose with moth balls, while
straw hats and overcoates seem to be
combination that does not strike
one as being altogether proper. The
dear women are wearing summer
dresses, but God bless them, they are
also wearing winter coats.
The longest day of the year was
ushered in with cold, raw wind and
the day seemed more like October
than the first day of summer. Ne
yadans, however can get some conso-
lation by reading in the daily press
that numerous deaths have occurred
at Chicago during the past week from
excessive heat, and to shiver in the
summer time is preferable to facing
death from sunstroke.

ROAD IS
STILL CLOSED
TO TRAVEL

According to reports received here
this week it is not believed that the
Tioga Pass road to Yosemite Valley
will open to auto travel before July
lst Last yeEr this road did not open
to auto travel until the first week in
July and conditions then were much
more favorable than this season. The
extremely cold nights that have been
the rule in the higher attitudes has
held back the snow and when it is
remembered that the Tioga Pass is
one of the highest automobile roads
in the United States, the shortness of
the season is to be expected.
Last season the Tioga road was
more extensively Travelled by tourists
than ever before and it expected that
auto travel this season will exceed
that of former years.
