GUNNISON GABBLE. By Nemo. I notice that people who borrow trouble alwavs pay it back with interest inter-est ; this is trne, even if they never pay their grocery bills, Speaking of trouble, I notice it is one of the easiest things to find if ycu prospect for it ; and it is very often found in a certaiu brand of bottles with the cork already.drawn. About ten per cent of the people of the United States are millionairs, the balance are just plain Americans. Young male chickens are the most pious of the barnyard, as so many of them enter the Ministry ; they make very poor lay members however. Now don't cackle. Women can do wonders if they only try. Over in Missouri last year a woman raised 3,000 bushels of corn, 500 bushels of oats, tea wagou-loads of pumpkins, a lot of chickens, nine children and a worthless husband all on an eighty aore farm. Get busy Indies, and eee if you cant beat Missouri, Did you ever get caugh t out on a fly? If so, you know how it feels. Quite a bunch of folks from Greater Guunidou, made a flying trip to Stlt Lake City this week to see the aviators avia-tors navigate vhe air. On account of flying clouds and flying snow, the fly men flew to their hotels, and would not fly worth a fly ; so most of us flew back home,, feeling we had been caught by a fly. . What has happened to our old political machines? Senator Root, a republican, making a strong plea to unseat Senator Lorimer, while Sena" tor Baily, a democrat, is straining his voice to retiin the Illinois Senator. The democrats in congress join with the progressives, at tho solicitation of President Taft, n passing the Gan-nadian Gan-nadian reciprocity bill against the opposition op-position of the old party leaders. It looks like there was a colored man in the woodpile. |
