While there is a possibility that Charley is getting that much money, his actual worth in our opinion would be nearly accurate by putting the decimal point between the six and seven. We always supposed there was no such animal, but recently we found an editor who quit the banking business to become a newspaper man. So it is not beyond the realm of possibility that some day some editor will violate the rules of nature and quit the newspaper business to become a banker. Any candidate gets the cheers and applause. lhe hall is always filled with his political friends. Most of the other fellows are not present. The are down at the other hall cheering their own. So the candidate always gets a whoop, regardless ot what he sa)s. If he didn t, the surprise would kill him on the spot. Mr. Hawley's campaign committee, or that por tion 01 it enougn interested in his success to attend a meeting, makes reference to Mr.Hawley staying in Washington and attendingto his duties during the hot summer months. Evidently Mr. Hawley's committee doesn't keep track of him very closely. The Pacific Woodman for August, page 14, contains the information that Mr. Haw ley was present at a meeting of the head managers of the W. 0. W. held in Denver on July 10, that he was still present on July 17 and that the body. of which he is a member did not adjourn until July 26. So he was in Denver and not in Wash ington most of the month of July. Mr. Hawley has lor a number ot years been one of the head managers of the W. O. W., receiving 875 month, and his campaign slogan ot " to serve but the public interests" deception. 77ie Tuxedo Hour by Walt Mason Tuxedo's bully all the rime; it makes the passing hours sublime, and by its soft and gracious curves it soothes the soul and rests the nerves, and fills my bosom, once again, with peace on earth good will to men. But best I like it when I've fed this face of mine with jam and bread. When I have dined on Irish stew and beans and boiled potatoes, too, and pie and eggs and cheese and tripe, 'tis then I best enjoy my pipe. When from the table I withdraw, I grip my briar with my jaw, and fill ii with Tuxedo mild the pure Tuxedo undefiled and smoke away in perfect bliss ; 'no pleasure can cortnpare with this. And in the curling smoke I see a world that seemeth good to me. A world that's debonair and "gay, its woes and worries done away. The plans that seemed foredoomed to fail, the work that seemed of no avail, now wear the rosy glow of hope, and I endorse all sunshine dope. Ti3 thus in my Tuxedo hour ; the world that seemed eo dark and dour, is blooming like a rose of spring, and I'm in mood to laugh and sing. (ALL KINDS) ---ZL"ZX Three Colors-Red green black Sold by C.

Wood is now being used for cafe tables, coal is sold exclusively to Central Stations, gaa has all it aan do to take cars of political speeches and gasoline is so expensive that only kings and waiters can afford to cook with it.
