last Sunday. The hoof of the animal

WhaUs Life? "
In the last analysis nobody knows,
but we do know that it Is under strict
law. Abuse that law even slightly,
pain results. Irregular living means
derangement of the organs, resulting
in constipation, headache or liver

world of graft, and the person or per
sons who can resist taking hold 0r the
gr.mei s scheme is a rarity. And an
other peculiar phase of the matter Is.
ui.u once me grader gets us In bis
toils, that is, to sign up for some of bis
goods or merchandise, we tenaciously
stick, and say we have got our money's
worth. Human nature Is such that
we will not. own up to our own people
and townsmen that we have been "ta

It appears to us that the only safe
way for the people to escape the graft
ers, Is to learn to say NO hi good round
tone to all coiners. Say N ) when vou
arise in the morning, and continue to
ay NO all day long, to any scheme
that will take your money out of this
vicinity. One merchant tersely said
toustbeotherday, "Whenever I spend
),oofor anything out of town, I bid
good-bye to the money, for I never have
chance to get any portion of that
back, while on the other hand I have
an equal show with the other mer
chants to net some of It, :ii'.-iiii "
The Crete Democrat a few weeks ago
said: "Never in the hktorv i.r ti...

too swift for the average Mr. and Mrs.

faces, rcruse to listen to their song or
to feed them. If you give ear to their

town nevermore to return, while the

Always bear In mind henceforth that
