more than curiosity. Everything Irish is looked
upon with some antlpathy by Englishmcn of all

have felt no fcar of their tenants copying methods

way. At recent meeting of the Farmers

they were the prettiest OF all the lot, and had

ar6eId's Petty Warfare ON Hancock Baffied.

From ,.c Louisville Courier Journal.
Winfield Scott Hancock will be the next
president of the United States. II is written
In the book Of fate, and there will be no cleo
toral tribunal to reverse the returns. Hancock
was born both handsome and lucky. He Is a
man OF destiny Why, just look at the record.
In 1868 Garfield brought a bill into congress
TO drop the JUNIOR major general. That was
Hancock. Ii passed both houses of congress,
and was signed by the president. But before
It could be carried into effect Geo III. Thomas,
the senior majsr.general, died, and Hancock
gong up one grade, was no longer The Junior
major general and So the law could not reach
him. The Republicans, still led by Garfield,
passed an act reducing the major generals to
three. This was signed by the president, but
before 1t could be carried into effect Meade
died, and the major generals were reduced to
three by God Almighty. Finally law was

And yet the chrome brightens us it takes
its flight and we recall the tender solicitudc

The good people had no idea that thirty
thousands copies of tins work of art could be

would certainly have bred contempt,
"Whcre ignorance is bliss

A prominent lawyer wished to annihlate a

had fixed her with his ghtering eye, slowly
and forciby remarked: "Can you believe the
testimony of a woman who resembles decay

fearful comparison won the case.
Farewell to the chrome. IL takes lis beak
from out our hearts, and its form from off our
doors, and we may imagine that it seeks the
solitude of some distant Plutonian shore, but,

QUITE number of Republicans of our
city wore badge last week, marked
1929" We have heard of persons be.
fore insensible to shame.
Esop tells Of a fox caught in trap by
the tail, that was glad to get away with
the loss of that member. Realizing his
digrace, by the other foxes looking and
laughing at him, he told them a tail
was an inCumbranCe, and he had now
much more ease and comfort in moving
about; besides, tail is such an ugly, in.
convenient appendage, it was a wonder
foxes had put up with them 80 long. He
therefore proposed that his worthy
brethren profit by his experience, and
have their tails cut of. An old fox step.
ped forward and said, II rather think.
my friend, that you would not have ad 4.
vised US to part with our tails, if there
was any chance to recover your own"
This bob tail fox had to go it alone.
Garfield, however, is relieved by his fell
low foxes showing a willingness to as
sumo his disgrace. These men all be-.
long to "the party of great moral ideas'
rather, party Of false pretenses. To
accommodate Garfield, they'll part with
their tails.
