Why should the water department of the city of Casper shut off the water supply in any portion of the city without notice to the consumers? Does this department not know that water is a necessary arti- cle, in every household, that it is more or less con- stantly used. That a suspension of the supply with- out notice to the user disarranges the household pro- gram and works hardship for whith there is no occa- sion? Not to mention the actual suffering in cases of sickness. There is no excuse for such action except, thought- lessness, carelessness, negligence or whatever it is that affects persons placed in charge of public affairs, who exercise a little brief authority. Would it humiliate anyone connected with the city water department to notify the people of any district, either by telephone, through the police department or by any other convenient city employe, that water would be shut off for certain necessary reasons and ‘to prepare themselves with such supply as would be necessary for their wants in the meantime. The people are entitled to this courtesy. The wa- ter plant belongs to them, not to gentlemen who are hired ‘to run it. Just a few days ago water was shut off in quite an area, without notice whatsoever to the people and re- mained off for several hours, at a time of day when the midday meal was in course of preparation and water was urgently required.’ Within this area at the time were a number of sick. It was necessary. to carry water for several squares in order to complete the meal for the family and care for the sick and helpless. It does not occur to any water patron in that par- ticular area, that the city water department, in the instance cited, acted with ordinary, judgment, ordinary wense or ordinary decency toward the consumers. Where city officials get this autocratic stuff they ; pull. so-frequently is’ past understanding. (ooo A NEW SPECIES. A traveler whose business calls him into many sec- * tions of the country, has for his own amusement made rather a wide observation of the dancing craze which has affected the entire country in the last few years. His deductions are no different from those of many others, but his way of summing them up is out of the ordinary. Our observer observes thus: “In the event the world is again submerged by flood as was the case in Noah’s day, the person whose duty twill be to. march them aboard the ark in pairs should take along’ with him a pair of dancing fools, picked up at random from the waxed floors of any dance hall in the country. For they are a new spe- cies and should be preserved for posterity in the event there would be a posterity after the next flood. “Not having anything else to do after the work of each day is over, I generally it the dance halls of whatever city I happen to be in, and, believe me, brethren, some of the freaks that I have seen on the floors of our dance emporiums would make old man Barnum turn over in his grave. The so-called male of the species is a wonder. He is rather a live agent from his shoulders down—that is, he is nimble of feet and supple of waist—but from his neck up I am sure a state of ossification has set in. The head of this creature is covered with a thick, glossy-like substance that I presume is hair, done ir a slick, sealskin fash- ion, with a deliberate part in tie middle. Immediate- ly under the full nostril is parked a splotch of fuzz, sometimes called a mustache. This creature is usual- ly clothed in form-fitting garments, the. waist being cut high and snug fitting immediately under the arm- pits. Its trousers are creased as if they » might: in emergency be used for cutting tools, and the cuffless bottoms now flare out in bell-shaped formation. Je- hosaphat! What a specimen of humanity. “As for the young girls who ‘cultivate the friend- ships of these inane creatures, the least said’ the bet- ter. They are a new type of American womanhood, if they can be called women. What I would ‘like ‘to know is, Who let’s ‘em loose? Bobbed of hair, they look like half-frightened inmates of an orphan asy- lum that burned down during the night, destroyed’ by fire too soon for the orphans to collect their clothes. Verily, as one of the old-timers said, ‘It takes all sorts te make a world.’” ste CHARACTER IN FEET. Henry Watterson’s old newspaper, the Louisville Courier-Journal, has given us a new idea in forming judgment of human character. It goes to the very foundation. Let it tell you: “There is a possibility that a number of Louisville industries will investigate the new science of pedology as an aid in their choice of workers. “In the past, chiropody and surgery have been the only professions immediately concerned with feet, etc., ete. In the future, directors of employment, voca- tional experts,-et al., maybe. known simply as ped- ologists. “History has shown conclusively that such sirens as Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Delilah, Venus, Queen Mary of Scots, Madames de Montespan and Du Barry, Mrs. Leslie Carter and Theda Bara all possessed a certain type of semi-refined slender foot and ankle and— “So far, so good! “If this type is borne in mind when employing a ~ stenographer or a housemaid much evil may be avoid- | to exercise influence to sway judgment. ‘ed. It-must be remembered moreover that the face is a mask-which mey be changed at will even though the massage and rouge and so on are temporarily per-| manent.

It -#ill show, conclusively, that financial, social, moral, religious, ethical and all other relations of the individual can be zed from observations of ankles, feet and legs and the manner of their use and furnishings. “What banker, for example, will lend money to a man whose boots are unpolished and run down at the heels?)

As Mystery Seen In Woman’s Death ———— oo ANOTHER NEW ONE, This being the day when we all worship at the Shrine of Terpsichore it is our public duty to report all the new ones as fast as) they are brought out for inspection. Chicago has submitted what she pro- claims to be the last word in dancing. The more you look at it, the more you will conclude that it is not only the last word but the last breath. The euipment to put it over properly might not meet with the unqualified approval of Mrs. Gundry, but for that very reason it will afford her unlimited opportunity to indulge her particular penchant. So the old lady is due for the shock of her life. Chicago’s effort is called the “conversation walk.” Skirts must be not longer than a Scotch bagpiper’s kilts. The pure thread Gordo: must be rolled be- low the dimples. Omit everything else to the point of scandal or police interference and you are dressed for the party. The dance itself does not seem to be the most im- portant point for its sponsors do not give as full par- ticulars as they should. They say it must be seen to be fully appreciated. However, they say it goes like this: Greet your partner and amble down the floor languidly, conversing the while, shift your gum, bal- ance forward, shift your gum back to the other cheek,] DENVER, Aug. 11.— Neighbors fox trot a step or two, shift, do a one step, not for-|were attracted this morning by cries getting the gum, resume the walk and conversation.|of agony from the home of Mrs, Tilly Repeat as long as the music continues.

What is needed most in the lower house is not an addition to the 435 seats provided, in which members simply rattle around, but a decrease by half and a doubling of the salary in the interest of secur- ing abler members. If we hung up $15,000 salaries we could hope that men of higher quality would be- come candidates. It would cost no more in the pay- roll and would prove economical in the long run by reason of the business ability a fifteen-thousand-dol- lar man would bring to the job of being a congress- man. There are many things that could be said for a re- duction of membership, but not much for an increase. There are some able men in the house, but the gen- eral average is mediocre. Stomach on Strike 20 Y NO WORRYING. The Snake River Sentinel man contributes some luable information gained by first hand contact h the great unemployed. He tells us how it is: “Having come into personal contact with the so- called ‘unemployed’ of the country just recently we feel quite prepared to answer some of the questions that are perplexing many writers at this time. “In the first place many of the unemployed are en- tirely so by choice as we learned on the aforemen- tioned ride on the deck of a freight, and furthermore these same young fellows have refused to work for $5 a day in the harvest fields. They insisted on five per day in California for picking fruit and $6 per day in the harvest fields. They manage to get enough to eat, somehow, and take ‘side door pullmans for the balance,’ and if they have any worries, we never noticed any.” SHOGREN Makes Keys. — Repairs Guns, Locks, And All Makes ae “PSYCHED.” of Phonographs.
