The styles in news items tfompres with the times. The Nebraska City Press remarks that several men tiller the influence of intoxicating li'iF were seen on the streets last Sund;. night. Two of them were hardly able 2o walk and ' were Ftnpgering along arna in arm. Half a dozen years ngo this wouldn't have been used even for "filler." The reason Cupid makes so many mfstakes, according to a brilliant contemporary, is because he aims at the heart while he is looking at the hosiery. A certain Alliance man, on his way to Denver to spend the holidays, ap parently feared the sources of supply In Denver, for in his traveling bag he carried at least one bottle of home brew. The train had been going for gome twenty minutes when there was loud report the cork had been blown out of the bottle.

If H hadn't been for a eoupld of murders the 5arne day, it would prohnbly have got the attention it deserved. ' This man'i idea was that the way to, keep thu boys on the farm Is to grant fl special dispensation to farmersto hmow them two wives, if they wanted that many. ' - We're in sympathy with the farm ers. If they want two wives, we're will'njr. Only we think this thing ought to le carried to its logical con clusion. There's a shortage of print ers, ami we think.fi similar concession would bring recruits to the trade. If a man were allowed to have wives in proportion to the grief he has to bear, printers would be per mitted to own harems. Talk about newspaper error it's Inmost impossible to weed all or em oiA . Usually, whenever an . editor wartp to be particularly nice, some thing happens. In an exchange yes terday we noticed the following mix up, due to the inspired . compositor running t'o items together: "Word has just Usrn received to -the effect that the inilnt son of Bottle of 's home brew, (directors may choose the best .one of samples submitted.)

Speaking of these high prices, one Alliance man howled long and loudly .the other afternoon about paying out 60 cents for a pair of sox.
