Incidents ol Every Day Life 'Which Very
Few People Stop to Think About on

Did you ever notice how pretty a lot
of rose bushes look' when they nro all
in bloom. They look tempting even if
thev aro over a fence People have
been known to climb a fence at night to
got at a ntco rose bush. However somo
neonlo would live in a placo lor a hun-
died years and never have u roso bush
around them. If the re is anything that
makes a crowd of young fellows feel
good it is to drivo tweuty or thirty

Several parties aro billed to give their
views on the question "Is Marriago A
Failure?" Probably it is in somo cases
or at least one would think so niter
looking over the court docket. This is
the time of year when h keeps the
farmers a humpin' to get ahead of the
weeds. They cant oven find time to
como to town and do their trading.
And theso are also tho days when the
water commissioner is always pleased
to meet tho patrons-of tho city water
system. They all meet him with a
kind H) wjrd or a club. He is prob-
ably tho most popular man in town.
Somo peoplo appear to think that bo-
causo no is also marsnni no uugiu iu
stand and listen to all their troubles.
The water commissioner has enough
troubles of his own. Tell your's to
the north wild alderman. Some fel
lows nro so forgetful One young fel
low went homo ouo evening this week
and forgot to toll his best girl good
night. As a consequence ho had to
crawl out and come back down town
and tell her. Ho should leave word
with tho night watch next tlmo. It
would save considerable troublo and
inconvenience. If you don't know
your own business ask tho enumerator.
Just at present ho is tho best posted
