BulliSh Day in Court

An animal also is entitled to its day in court. Self
defense, traditional legal refuge of man, has been
set up and maintained on behalf of bull. In Lex
ington, Ky, Cleveland Smelling sued for damages,
alleging that he was injured by the bull, but jury
upheld the contention of the defense that the plaintiff
had assaulted the animal, which merely protected
itself.
So far good. We shant be disturbed until we
hear of some animal pleading insanity the un-
written law.

Nancy and Nick did not remember
] leaving the tiny car that rolled
them along through Drowsy Land, but
suddenly they were standing right
on their feet in big city. The piak

with snap and jumped back into
Nick's pocket.
What place is this, do you sup
pose?" said Nancy, looking around
at the buildings, which were, if pos
sible, queerer than those of Shut-Eye
Town. The ticket stuck its head up
out of Nick's pocket again and looked
at them with it's round pink eyes.
"This is called Amy Place At All',"
it said, and then went back to its
pocket.

Nick. Then ! suppose anything at

With that he took Nick between
one finger and thumb and Nancy be-

and held them more firmly. He real

a queer thing happened. Nick felt
his head going down and his feet
coming up. Nearer and nearer they
came toward each other until sud

And looking over at Nancy he dis

the same thing. She was only three
inches high, too.
Il was right" thought Nick. "Most
anything at all can happen to you
here and guess one thing has hap

Suddenly Nick had an idea, and
at the same time Nancy had the

THE DEMARIS SPRINGS

About four miles west of Cody are located the DeMaris
Needle Bath Springs, probably the greatest health giving
waters to be found anywhere in the world. To battle in the
modern plunge which is available there is a treat, and one
which is realized and appreciated by people residing away from
Cody far better than by those who reside here.
The DeMaris Springs are wonderful, yet it is safe to say
that there are hundreds of people, residents of the town of
Cody, who have never visited there, to say less, bathed there.
There are dozens of business men who do not go to the Springs
for an entire year at a time. Why?
1t is not because they do not know of the true worth of
the mineral waters there. 1t is not that they are Indifferent
altogether to the value and possibilities of these wonderful
Springs. 1t is just the fact that they become so engrossed in
their own business, so busy with other affairs, that they
overlook one of the greatest opportunities for enjoyment and
health of the entire Buffalo Bill country-a bath in the De-
Maris Springs.
The DeMaris Springs company is probably making a very
good financial return from its property. 1t does not necessarily
need the patronage of the local people, but it does appreciate
the genuine interest people tax in the Springs, and visitors
there are always welcome.
The springs are a decided attraction. Cody people should
become more interested in them, and give to them a one
hundred per cent support to which they are entitled.

PLAYTIME is HERE

Those who believe that enjoyment of life is the shortest
road to everlasting torment should find little hope for the
salvation of the American people of this generation. In fact
it is not infrequenty rumored about by those who look
askance upon a smiling countenance that the United States is
even now passing through the several stages of the decline and
fall
Surely no country, not even Ancient Greece and the
Romans, was ever more abundantly provided with pleasures of
life and relieved of more of lifes miseries and discomforts
than America.
Like the woman upon the white horse" of the nursery
rhyme, the Peep lie of the United States with their phono-
graphs, pianos and pianoplayers, radio, orchestras and other
music makers have music wherever they go. There are
more pastimes to attract people and more leisure to give to
those pastimes. This summe millions of me- and women in
the United States are participating in numerous sports and
recreations, highways are constantly congested with motorists
pleasure bent, vacation resorts are heavily patronized and
the baseball parks and race tracks and pleasure parks draw
their usual crowds.
But why should this love of pleasure be cause for anything
but satisfaction =? To avail himself of all this play the individual
must work the harder and faster, for it costs real dollars and
many of them to play in this big playground. And when
people work harder they need more play. Those who work
must play.
