Show Gunnison Gossip By 0. Nemo. The most welcome visitor to Greater Gunnison just now would be a good shower of rain. Every few days the automobile drivers of Salt Lake City manage to kill or cripple some one on tha public streets. If the pedistrians o f that city would go around with sawed off shot guns and give the chauffers a benefit every time they run down a person, it would cure the disease. Try the bird-shot remedy it's a sure cure, The eastern press is now giving us an overdose of dope over the return of xeaay Koosevelt from shooting tigers, regulating the crowned heads of Europe and the universe generally, We are opposed to man-worship or hero adoration, and especially of one who thinks he knows it all, from babies to bomb shells, and is constantly butting into something which doesn't couceru him. The following is suggested as a big improvement to the Game Laws of the state, viz: "It shall be lawful to kill, net or destroy book agents, from the 1st day of May until the 30th day of October ; mining promoters, from the 15th day of December until, tbe 1st day of April ; piano peddlers from tbe 1st day of November until the 1st of Marcb ; solicitors for the purpose of enlarging photographa, from the 1st day of September until the 30th day of July, in each and every year. And furthermore, all persons who take and read the local newspaper for a whole year without paying for it , and who, wiien presented with a bill for same, replies, '1 never subscribed for your old paper,' it shall be lawful to kill, destroy and exterminata such a worthless creature, and bury him or them face downward, without benefit of clergy and without a monument to mark the spot." There is something cheering and uplifting in the very nature of Saturday Satur-day night. This is tbe time we close me leuger ot the week, and take a full breath in antieipation of a Bweet day of rest. It is the night when the laborer, with his dinner pail, stops at the store to bring to his dear ones some little treat for the morrow. It is the night for rest aud recreation. Wbat a sense of pleasure comes to us all as we review the past week of honest toil and effort, and gather the family around the evening meal. No business busi-ness engagements ought to be made for this sacred hour. No public duties should weigh upon the mind of the head of the house on this night . The meeting of clubs, lodges, and even that of the city councic should be deferred until some other night. Certain it is, that the business of our city could be as judiciously attended to on any other night as on this night of relaxation. |
