Many horses have very fine points about them. These bones are used as a hat-rack by the riders at times. If the father of a* family is short on bones, the bones of the fami ly usually protude gracefully in silent testimony of their need. For instance, us. Bones are easily broken —both kinds. * A banana peel or a lady can do the job in little or no time. ’ In order to keep Up with the ladies it requires a bunch of bones and in order to hold on to those same bones at requires back bone.

Regular Monthly Session Held Here Saturday Morning. THURSDAY, MARCH 1ST., 1917. In view of the fact that so many of our readers have asked us when the war will be over, we have given the matter considerable thought and have about decided that the end will be coincident with the appearance of wool on the back of a hydraulic ram. The law prohibiting the publication of liquor advertisements in newspa pers, which goes into effect on the 16th inst., does not affect The People. We have long held the view that a family newspaper should not also be a whiskey salesman. Shoe manutarturers claim that ev ery inch added to the length of the, women's skirts coot them just 110,000,- 000, and every inch so added would no doubt he worth about the same amount to the producers of cotton.

We learn from a reliable source that the best method of getting rid of the blues is to buck a straight flush with four living balls of fire.

Bones have been here since the beginning; Adam gave one bone for’Eve. Bones are mighty little things sometime^ but they sure can worry a man; the little things always do worry men—for in stance, father paying a bill for his daughter's bathing suits. Bones are hard but are made of dust; the bones that are sometimes known as dollars are made of gold dust snd they (the bones, not the twins) will do your work. The bones of the human body are also made of dust and go back to dust. If a fellow has bats in his belfry—rooms to rent upstairs, you know—he is a bonehead. If he has more sense and intelligence than any ewe else he is a crank and a bone- head just the tame. So there you are.
