probably refer to himself if you asked
him what he does lor a living.
Si Thompson is one of the best
known and bet liked traveling men
on the road. If there is anybody who
loesn't like him, nobody knows who
that man is.
Si Thompson gets to Minatare every
week or two. railing on the grocery
merchants. The next time you nee
him, remember that his own town of
Alliance has singly honored him in a
- political way.
In Alliance they have been selecting
five city comissioners under the new
commissioner-city manager plan iney
have adopted for running municipal
affairs. In the primary there were
riore candidates th in Carter had oats.
Si Thompson's friends made him run
and he polled the second latest vote.
Then the ten men who had received
the highest votes ran again t,o see
which five of them would be commis
sioners. And this time Si Thompson led the
the whole ticket. He not only carried
his own ward by a big plurality, but
be accomplished a similar feat in ev
ery ward in the city.
That's what Alliance thinks of Si
Thompson. He won't tell you about

RANDOM SHOTS
The traveling salesman, who drive
one or mose ponuiar nine cars,
couldn't understand why he wasn't
making a hit. He finally asked his
partner for the ilar.ee why she gazed
at him so coldly. "Why," she asked,
"you drive a Ford, don't you?" He
admitted it with averted eyes. "Hut
vou don't keep it In the Ford garage,
do you?" "Do they have a garage
just for Fords in this city?" he asked.
"Certainly they do," he was told. "And
don't they keep anything there but
Henrys?" "Of course not," was the
response. "Oh, it's all right then,"
said the salesman, in a relieved tone,
"mine's a Lizzie. It wouldn't be proper
to leave her alone all night with all
those men."
It's surprising, how much influence
we have. To date and it has been
less than n month we can count two
others in the building who have fol
lowed our example. I here are still a
couple of likely prospects, and each
morning we wear a pleasant, cneer-up
sort of a grin, while we are waiting
to be confided in again.

All Rugs
educed In Price
The Manufacturers of Kiiffs and Carpets
have just announced reduced prices of 15
to 25 below the reduced prices of last De
cember and wc have immediately reduced our
prices to you in accordance.
We are advised that the lowest prices
on rugs have been now reached for
many months to come, for it is gener
ally known that if the new Tariff Bill,
which places a tax on carpet wools, is
passed, the cost of rugs and carpets
' will be increased. Therefore we recom
mend that you buy now while prices
are at the bottom, and while our stock
is unbroken. mAJjf
As usual, we are the first in Alliance to
advise you of the reduced prices, so
come to the store where you always get
the benefits of low prices.

Houston Chronicle: The editor of
the Alkali Eye dropped into our green
and-gold sanctum to tell us that he
had started to bring us a ciuart of
homebrew, but that it had eaten the
bottom out of the bottle. If his breath
had not raised a lilister on our neck
we might have believed him.
It is perhaps well that the author
of this villainous parody chose to re
main anonymous:
Sure, a little bit ofheaven fell from
out the sky one day
And landed in the ocean, not so far
from Dublin bay,
And when the angels saw it, sure,
'twas then they praised the Lord,
And gave a medal to the one that
tossed it over board;
Then they took some spikes and rivets,
a hammer and a tack.
And they nailed it to the bottom, for
they feared it might come back.
And when they hail it fastened down
and everything was grand,
Why, they sprinkled it with pepper
and they called it Ireland.

Today's Best Story.
A man got in a cab at a Southern

"Yaas. sub," said the driver, whipped
up his horse and 'drove a block; then
he leaned over to address his passen
ger: " 'Souse me boss; what d'you say
vou wanter go?"
"To a haberdasher's."
"Yaas, sun; yaas, sub." After an
other block there was the same per
formance:
" 'Scuse me boss .but whar d'you
say you wanter go ; 1
"To a haberdasher's," was the some
what impatient reply.
Then came the final appeal: "Now
look-a-here, boss, I be'n drivin' in dis
town twenty year-' anil I ain't neber
give nobody away yit. Now, yo' jes
tell dis niggar what- t is vou wanter
