Our guns bad been left at The Kicker

Mr. Gallup had been reading about the |

turned over to page 4 and began reading a
remedy for the cure of hog cholera.
“I had skcerccly got Into tho house and
told Mrs. Trowbridge what to do fuF

what she saw last night. Sbowas up with

reached for It and used It to wlpo awny

sho could go on:
“Samuel, you know what a ‘death’s

Mr. Gallup might have ventured an
opinion if sho hud glvon him time, but
boforo bo got around to It sho had cleared
her oyes with tho toe ot tbo sock mid
choked tuck her feelings to say:
“I think I'm tho ono who Is called,

This towi was founded nearly 40 years
ago Its founder was a men who held that
he hod certain Inalienable and constitu
tional right* Among them rights wero
thorn of riding a horse into any saloon or
ether building which had a door wld*
enough to acoommodate, tbe shooting of a
pipe outof any man's mouth on tho street,
riding up and down the streets and yell
ing and ftullladlng and having fun In bla
own way on all occasions when the spirit
soizod him. His ideas descended to all
Subsequent settlers, and though many of
them had been abandoned In ths faos of
latter day civilization a certain per cent
■till cling and must be respected. Five
years ago tbe man who dared appear on
our streets with a blus necktie or a linen
collar or a plug hat would bare bad a nor
row esespo wltb his Ills. Gradual but per
sistent newspaper Influence baa made It
safe even for a stranger to appear among
us wltb patent leather shorn and a fur
trimmed overcoat. A year ago wo had the
heels shot off a pair of russet shoes which
wa defiantly put on for a atrell up the av
enue, but only last week we walked around
all day wltb creases pressed In our trou
sers a la mode, end no man ever mado a

Into an ontrago. It was simply a bubbling

such things after awhile, but It Is too

ileges at once. As mayor of the town we
must maintain n certain dignity, and as

ace that all laws and ordinances are en

remember that all permanent changes for
