hog.
Pen up your chickens if you want
to be neighborly with those living
nearby.
Give every man a right to his own
honest views and reserve the same
right for yourself.
Our friend. Mike Croy, living two
miles north of town, has been quite
sick the past three weeks, and is
still in poor health.

boundaries, over one thousand high-
waymen, not including her board of

ple are putting up their money.

A murderer executed in Pennsyl

Crop failures are a thing of the
pastnn the United States, according

A Guthrie dispatch to the St. Louis

If you would like to see one of the
most beautiful celestial spectacles
that nature gives, look in the west
between sunset and dark, where the
plannet Venus now hangs like a
great white jewel against a flame-
colored sky. In her journey around
the sun she has once more reached
the point where she appears as our
evening star, and though we are all
familiar with the sight, it never tails
to impress us with its beauty. She
will be higher and higher in the sky
every evening and her brilliant light
will be the glory of the western heav-
ens for months to come.
Robert J. Burdett, the noted hu-
morist bids us remember that the
good things in the world are always
cheapest. Spring water costs much
less than whiskey ; a box of cigars

of religion ; you can sleep in church
every Sabbath morning for notlvng,
but a nap in a Pullman car costs
you $2 every time ; the circus takes
50 cents and the theatre a dollar,
but the missionary box is gratefu.

best women in America nearly to
death, and comes out $40 dollars in
debt.
The age limit pension bill passed
both houses of congress and has be-

rives at the age of 60 years, he is
allowed $6 per month without exam-
ination as to disability. At 61 he
gets $8 ; at 70 he is allowed $12
The measure does away with any
questions as to disability and gives
every soldier a pension regardless
of disease contracted in the war or
s!nce that time.

What Are You Going to do This
Summer?
You are living in a business age.
Why try to go through it with-
out a business training? Prepare
yourself for the business world. It

hustle. Do something for yor your-
self. Be somebody.
A postal card addressed to the
Capital City Business College,

Penmanship department, its exclu-
sive control of the Famous Byrne
Simplified Shorthand and Practical
Bookkeeping and Business Training.
Don't put off writing until tomorrow,
do it now. The sooner you equip
yourself with a practical education,
the sooner you will be drawing the
increased salary it will bring.
A man who had about made up
his mind to become a candidate for
office aud was talking to his wife
about it: "See here, John," she re-
p icd. "I've lived with you about
fifteen years and I have had a pretty
f ir opinion ot you, and I don't want
it all spoiled now. I don't want to
learn that you were in the peniten-
tiary several years for burglary ; I
don't want to hear how you nearly
beat our father to death and swin-
dled him out of his property. If
you came near being hanged for
stealing horses in the Indian Terri-
tory and had to leave Iowa for mur-
der, I don't care to hear it all thresh-
ed over at this day. You can run
for the office if you choose, and if
elected the first case you will have
on the docket will be Mary vs. John,
suit for divorce ; grounds, the de-
fendant has three living wives and
is an escaped convict, and by that
time I can prove it, John."
Fifty years ago emigrants cross-
ing the plains were killed by the
Indians ; today they are killed by
train wrecks, and yet we are thank-
ful we don't experience the hard-
ships and dangers of our forefathers.

Governor Folk, according to Mc-
Clures Magazine, has given up the

On the morning of Abraham Lin-
coln's assassination he said : "After
reconstruction, the next great work
before us is the prohibition ot the
liquor traffic in all the states and
territories.
A saloon can no more be run with-
out using up boys than a flouring
mill without wheat, or a saw-mill
without logs. The only question io>
whose boys—your boys or mine
our boys or our neighbors?
Robert j. Burdett says : "Search
through the history of this hateful
thing, and read one page,over which
some mother can bow her grateful
head and thank God for all the saloon
did for her boy. There is no such
re:ord. ***

WE DON'T MAKE IT UP
By charging you $2.00 for a $1.50 pair of shoes, or giving you 6 bars
of soap for a quarter when we ought to sell you 8. We don t promise
you more for you butter and eggs than we can get for them, and then
beat you on something to "even things up." We want a reasonable
profit on everything we sell, and we believe most people are willing to
pay fair prices, especially when they are assured of highest quality in
goods, and are given intelligent and courteous treatment.
We want your trade and will treat you right.
