Show 7 Th, That and the 0ther H Hero's tho latest on tho editor, and B its not so bad. Quoth tho devil of tho establishment: "What's tho dlffcr-H dlffcr-H enco between a man who dyes lamb H wool and an editor?" An answer was B not forthcoming, and as tho Imp went fl out tho door, ho let It loose "Ono Is fl & tomb dyer and the other Is a damb Iyer." B Tho troubles that aro agitating the jfl Bell Tcllcphono Co. at present aro a jfl plenty. Ogdcn Is going to grant nn-H nn-H other franchise to the Homo Co., Lo-BJ Lo-BJ gun will do so later, and recently BE somo "unprincipled villains" stole BJ 325 worth of paint from their quarters II at Preston and dumped It on tho post' flj olllco floor. It hasn't been determined Hj yet whothcr tho vandals wero venting H a spito on Postmaster Woollcyor tho H Hell people, or whether It was somo flj over-zealous advocate of frco whiskey HE who desired to paint the town red. HJ If thcres a town in tho country that jflj uses more of tho saw-dust, leather jflj trimmings and coal dust mixture j which goes to make up tho average jHt cigaretto than docs Logan, will some-JEbcpleaso some-JEbcpleaso trot it out. This Injur-SHJ Injur-SHJ lous practlco Is not confined to boys Hjnnd young men alone, but is Indulged HE in by many gray haired men. Thcro HJis no criticism or suggestion to bo offered to these older personages, for It is supposed that they aro confirmed in the habit, don't want to quit, and will not bo pleased with any suggestion sugges-tion seeking to curtail what they believe be-lieve is their right and privilege, but a word to the young men may not be amiss. Hoys with hats on tho back of their heads and long hair hanging down their foreheads and cigarettes and smutty stories In their mouth, arc cheaper than old worn out horses. Nobody wants them at any price. Men will not employ them, girls will not marry them. They are not worth their keeping to anybody and they will not keep themselves. If any boy who happens to read this answers this description, let him take a look at himself and do what his conscience sajsbest to do. "Truth" tells a story on a Payson vtsltor to Salt Lake that beats tho old bramble bush story of tho man who by an unfortunate Jump scratched out his eyes, and by a second Jump of the same kind "scratched them In again." This husky visitor from the outside town was of such a convivial temperament that he got on the outside of too much of Salt Lake's "tanglefoot" and was soon In a "mellow" condition Just In the shape "to do and daro with nover a care." As ho meandered down the street and came to one of the city's abominable crossings, he discovered a young lady apparently hesitating to "cross the Rubicon." Ills glance downward showed him a new pair of high-heeled slippers, the evident cause of her embarrassment and heslstancy . With never a word, tho young man gathered her up like a sack of meal and In a shorter space of time than It takes to tell It, deposited the fairy on tho other sldo of the street. The young lady's "How dare you!" as he put her down, brought the young man's mind from under the cloud which was befogging It, and with a start ho realized that ho had made a blunder, In fact, an egregious ass of himself. With all his gentlemanly qnalltles awakened, and' desiring to rectify the error If possible, the con-vlvlalist con-vlvlalist Immediately apologized? No slrcel Ho simply gathered up his little bundle of frills, tucks and high-heeled high-heeled slippers and returned it to the the side of the street from which ho had Just brought It. Tho young man then continued his wayward way down the thoroughfare. Much has been said and written of the llery Kcntuckian and there may be many in this vicinity who having come from that state know the exact condition there, yet the knowlcdgo wehave of tho state leads us to believe that tho feeling In certain parts Is not greatly exaggerated in the following take-oil on tho game warden of that state, who is supposed to have issued and circulated tho following set of rules governing tho killing of game: "Traveling salesmen aro not allowed to kill over ten hotel men, nor over 25 hotel employes In 24 hours, and every salesman who allows a mean merchant mer-chant to escape allvo will be fined $5000. Any traveling man not a member of tho U. 0. T. may bo beat with a stuffed stuff-ed club. Plain citizens may ,be shot from January 1 to December 31. Senators, governors and members of congress may be during any political campaign or within ten days thereafter there-after at option. Niggers may be shot at any time. Hunters in search of this game arc also allowed, to use a stuffed club or a butcher knife. Colonels may bo shot with Impunity at any time, while a squirrel gun Is recommended for majors and captains. No man shall bo allowed to kill In excess of six persons per day. In cose of honor this number may bo Increased In-creased to 103. Every citizen who does not toto tho remalnsof tho victims from public view within 48 hours from tho time tho first volley Is fired, will bo lined one gallon of moonshine. Any citizen who steps on another's toes may bo shot, with tho privilege of apologizing thereafter. |
