It would be as rational to knock yourself on the head Jbccause you differ from your self ten years ago.—Horace Mann. .PUBLIC ©PIN"ON AND LAW EN FOUCEMENT. It has often been said that a law, either requiring that certain thing? shall not he done or commanding Jhat certain things thall he done, cannot be enforced in a community where the majority are opposed to the law itself. It is true that the person charged with the enforce ment of an unpopular Jaw has a job not the most pleasant in the world and yet such opposition generally stops at simply an open declaration that the law should never be enacted, but having been, they reluctantly comply. The greater number generally recog nize that lnws are of general ap plication and even though an oc casional enactment may not accord with the views held by the majori ty in a certain community within .the larger political division over which the law becomes operative, yet being intended for the common good and to the interests of the greaternumber it should lie obeyed. Again it can hardly be assumed that because a law is violated that ^11 those who thus disregard it are opposed to it as a law. P'or in stance the federal liquor law as ap plicable to the Standing Rock and iChevenne River reservations i? 110 doubt violated by someone •within the borders of the reserva tions nearly every day and yet ithese same persons recognize tin wisdom nf the act and would ap plaud its enforcement provided someone -other than themselves were caught. And so it is with rnanv other laws spoken of as un popular. The opposition to then is more imaginary than real. Obedience to law is essential to Jhe nation's stability and healthy growth. This is a nation of law and order and that is why every good citizen bows to the majesty of the law and deep down in his heart applauds its proper enforce jnent. People of the western states are always deeply interested in having 2 man occupy the post of secretary of the interior, who is able, fair and acquainted with western con ditions. According to the August Review of Reviews the present secretary possesses all these rare qualities. It's editor savs: "Sec retary Lane's comprehensive know ledge of western men and affairs is one of the foremost assets of the present administration. He is al so an administrator of firm grasp, of abounding health and industry, and of vivid imagination associat ed with humor and tact. He per ceives problems constructively, ami has the legal knowledge and train ing to handle them in detail. Fe.v men have ever taken up the work of the interior department with so high a promise of fine achievement for the public." Huerta has no right to ask Uncle Sam to recognize him when so nany of his own people refuse to do so.—Washington Herald.

F. Cook in "Bygone Days in Chicago," and he tells this amus u g' story of Isaac Spear, a well known watchmaker in the early dava. Mr. Spear was very short, and so ab normally bandv-legged as to attract instant attention. He was in the forefront of the crowd, watching the fire, and at one time became so absorbed in the spec tacle that he stood at a point of im minent danger, like one transfixed. A kindly newsboy, alarmed at the situation, rushed gallantly forward and, tapping him on the shoulder, shouted above the din: "Say, mister, if you don't coma away you'll burn!" The caution not having the de sired effect, the youngster sprang to the rescue a second time. Once more he gave anxious warning, and still Isaac paid no heed. On returning to a place of safety, the boy, to his horror, observed the little man's deformity. Screening his face with his arms, he charged again into the consuming heat, and, while literally dragging the watch maker to a place of safety, shrieked in his ear: "You must come away! You're warping!"—Youth's Companion. COULD BE POSSIBLE First Babbit—I haven't seen your brother for several days. I'm afraid that goat ate him up. Second Rabbit—Whj do yon think so? First Rabbit—I heard one of those hunters say he found a hair in the butter this morning. Dogs are unerring judges of hu man nature. Instinctively they spot hypocrisy, snobbery and fear. It is a wise young man who at that criti- I cal period of his life when he is seeking to double his expenses and divide his income in matrimony, takes his dog with him when he goes courting. If he lets the dog pick out the girl the chances are that he will get a paragon of virtue with no divorce coupon attached.

LONDON CREATE8 FASHION#. Although Paris undoubtedly has i long been the fashion arbiter for the 1 women of Europe, London of late i has been making rival claims in that regard and in some instances not un justifiable by the fact that where British approval has been lacking Parisian innovations have died a speedy.death. One London dress making establishment that pretends to be the equal in prominence of the most famous in Paris, is now mak ing especially attractive and purely British display of spring models about which all feminine London is talking, and it is generally regarded that these are to be taken as the ab solute decrees of fashion.

"Are you troubled with flies?" ho asked in a confidential whisper. "I believe the cook did say that 9 extra ones flew in this morn ing," the proprietor replied. "Well, sir, I have here the great est exterminator ever discovered. If properly used this machine will posi tively kill every fly in the world. As this is the last machine I have yon may have it for the trifling sum of $10." The ten exchanged hands the little man surrendered the package and quickly disappeared. Carefully obeying the injunction to "handle with care," the proprie tor opened the package.

Elmer Peterson, editor of the Cimarron Jacksonian, replies^ "We own a cow. so this advice is verv interesting. When we go to wa ter her she lunges at the bucket and worries it all over the lot. hen we bring her dainty repast of corn chop and bran, it takes expert manipula tion to get by and shove the feed into the manger without being trampled to death or kicked through the side of her boudoir.
