Thursday and Saturday Admission 10c W. N. BROWN, Prop. Hams and Bacon WISE TALKS BY U. S. LOUGHARYS' OFFICE BOY A follow up in Chicago who admits to the name of J. Ham Lewis, recently came out and said that a woman doesn't know the value of an oath, Now I see that he denies having alluded to woman In the general sense ; ho says ho meant some women, but not all women. That was a very wise hedge on Mr. J. Ham's part, because had he made his remark so sweeping as he was first reported he might have had more direct evidence to the con trary than he could ii(-e in his bust ness. I understand that Mr. J. Ham is a lawyer and that he is not con nected with the stock-yards in any way. Well, whatever his calling, he can go out and lay bets on one thing; viz, that a woman knows the value of good bam and bacon and she can tell the other kind. Oregon hams are sold in the East and Eastern hams are sold in the West but there's more smoked meat comes out of Armour dule, Kansas, than all of Oregon and to give those fellows their due they know how to raise corn, fatten hogs and smoke hams. And we know how to boil them and put tbe wafer edgo on your ham or bacon, so never mind where it's raised so long as it's right. Hams are lower.
