NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS

It again becomes necessary to ask all dog owners to keep their animals tied up, at least part of the time. It can hardly be expected that a dog must be tied up all the time, neither can it be expected that people who do not own dog must be bothered all the time by these same dogs that the owners never seem to take care of. I do not wish to use my authority in this matter, but unless am met half way in the matter, I will use it without fear or favor

CLOSE CALL FOR A MINER

Henry Carman had a narrow escape
from death Tuesday afternoon of this
week. He was working in an old
chute which had been constructed
from an old man-way and was about
seventy-five or eighty feet above the
level. The chute had become clogged
and he was trying to start the ore to
running. The piece of ground on
which he was standing gave way and
Henry started down the incline trav-
cling at a rapid rate with a good
many tons of ore coming after him.
He slipped distance of seventy-five
feet before he stopped and he was
then covered completely by the brok-
en- ore, the pile extending to dis
tance of three feet above his head
The dock about his head was not
packed closely enough to shut off his
breathing or prevent his cry for help
being heard. He was heard in short
time and soon the entire day shift
went to work to effect rescue. This
was slow work owing to the small
space and the danger of starting a
cave-in Only one or two men could
work at a time. 1t was 1890 Wednes-
day before he was released from his
perilous position. DIR. Cummings ex.
amined him and ordered him taken
to his home where he is doing as well
as could be expected. There are nc
broken bones and no internal injury
has developed The whole community
rejoices in his miraculous escape from
sudden death.-Lake City World.

FARMER pUTMAN's PHILOSOPHY

On Board Purebred Sires Special
And right at the start 1 want you
folks to know that it's good board,
too; the best that Henry Ford's C. &
S.-Burlington Ry kin afford. This
amt the fiivver Ford. He's regu-
lar Packard, twelve cylinders, etc.
We has two kinds of sires on this
train, prebreds and scrubs, both in
the stock cars and in the private cars
where the gentlemen, etc. ride
l feel sorry fur some of the scrub
bulls. I was goin' through the train
the other day when I seen tears in
the eyes of big red bull we took up
at Walsenburg and 1 sez: 'fWhat's the
matter old boy, ain'- they feedin you
good?"
'Yes, the feeds all right, but I'm
thinkin' of the injustice of this thing
I amt braggin' about my family con-
nections; know our family is a
shiftless lot, but you don't seem to
consider that we amt responsible fur
bein' what and where we are. If I'd
a had my choice you kin bet your life
I never would been born a scrub.
I'd like to know what about the man
that owned my paw and NAV? Did
he expect the offspring of such q
couple to be thousand dollar Here
ford? It's not us but our owners
that's responsible, and instead OF
gatherin' up the scrub bulls and
boars they ought to be sendin' a train
through the country to gather up the
scrub farmers and take 'em all to
some market place and have a auc-
tion sale. What do you reckon they'd
git fur the bunch? Not as much as
we bring as beef and pork, because
you couldn't make nuthin' outen
them but soap and axle grease"
I agreed with him and said: "All
right old timer, we'll say you're tellin'
the truth, but you know it CANT be
DONE"
you're right" he sez, sheddin' an
other tear, "and that really amt the
worst of it. What makes me sore is
to be led out thar on the demonstra-
tion platform, paraded back and forth
and have my long legs, thin fianks
scrawny ribs and sway back paved
over and held up as horrible exam
pie by NANCY expert who's lost all
the fur often his hide between the
horns, and little whipper-snappeI

leon Boneypart with his right hand
in his shirtfront, scratchin' cooties

WHAT WE WILL CELEBRATE

"Armist;ce Day, November 1ltn. is
the symbol of liberty saved, as Inde-
pendence Day. July 4th, is the symbol
of liberty secured This year marks
the fifth anniversary of our triumph
over the dictatorship and despotism
of Germany and the Central Powers,
the greatest plot ever devised to SUBJ
due world for the aggrandizement
of a family-the Hohenzollern and
Hapsburgs, While Armistice Day this
year, as ever, cannot but remind us
of our debt or reverence to our de-
parted comrades, the day offers pri-
marily an opportunity for rejoicing,
of thanksgiving for the success which
their sacrifice helped us and our gal
liant Allies to attain. The American
Legion on November 11th, will be OBJ
serving the fifth birthday of a new
freedom, and the fifth anniversary of
mighty and righteous victory"
ALVIN OWSLEY,
National Commander Amr Legion.
In connection with the above proc
lamation the Legion Auxiliary wishes
to say, thatsthe price of 10c for every
daisy sold at their Annual Daisy sale,
will be used to in small measure
give comfort, and to show our graft
tude to our sick and disabled World
War Veterans, who sacrificed so much
that we might rejoice.
