mad' because their judge was tak

"Jimmy" Hamilton is one of the
fairest aidges and squarest men in
any maif's country. But it looks
from this distance that a charge
of prejudice might be justly made
against any man in all Douglas
county, as Jo Brumfield. They
all seem to sve red when the name
is mentioned. A well known re

That '"what's one rfnan s meat

by the comments on the raia of
Friday aiternoon:
"Well I be doggoned It it isn't
goin' to taia after I hoped it -had
given up all that foolishness. Just
ihen my prunes are ripe and fair

you could throw with a teaspoon

' Rain til you -wam to, o!tl fel

bit; never, nohow! Th.t pasture
was about as dead as a billiard

paint to paint what looked like
grass for cow feed. This rain
will bring, me $10 a minute in
the next month's cream checks.
Come a-whoopin' and soak 'cm
tp till the cows come home!"
"Oh, dear me, that roof isn't
finished yet. and it'il soak off tha
plastering and fall down and kill
us in our sleep! Johnny, Johnny,
run down town and tell your
father to come out right away and
do something! I don't care what
he does just p's he conies this
instant and docs it! Oh, dear; oh
dear!"
You can't print n bird's whistle,
but here's about what he said:
"Oh, joy; here's a drink right
at our door! We won't have to
fly clear across town for a drink,
and dry up like a salted codfish
before we get back. And a good
rain brings out all the juicy lit
tle angleworms and we'll have a

The men who compile our
building statibtics note some
curious things. For instance.
they find out that we are build
ing more garages than we are
homes. Last year we housed 20
per cent more autoa than we did
families. In the 200 largest cities
of the country we put up nearly
100,000 garages. We are going
to keep the paint bright on Lizzie
even if the baby has to sleep with
the dog. It also appears that
we spent almost twice as much
in building theaters as we did
in new churches. Hut look at the
hours a movie house keeps, while
a church may only be in use for
a short time on Sundays.
