The Bull Pup Laughed.

The special poet Of the Greenvllle
Herald, grinds out the following:
The cat went out to walk alone.
The dog sat down to eat his bone,
The COW jumped over the moon,
The dish ran away with the spoon,
The bull pup laughed to see the sport.
The pig began to want his swill,
The cook went out the pig to I'LL
The SOW Knocked over the slop,
The cook went flippity-nop,
While the bull pup laughed to see the
sport.
Jack. the iifer's only son,
lie learned to play while he was young
The only tune he could play
Was over the hills and far away
The bull pup laughed to see the sport.
The Bard sat down to write a song,
And wrote q rhyme n whole yard long ;
"Tbe poot-toot pea.ed from the owlets
throat,
And the jovlal snag-pop popped his
tootn-
The bull pup snapped and the bard was
hurt. N. Il.

THE greatest drawback to the relig-
ious and temperance advocates is their
intemperancC towards those who do not
act with them. Prohibition is good
thing, likewise is temperance, but they
are ideas that have to be handled tenn
perately to accomplish any great re-
forms. Men have to be educated and
convinced by good logic before they can
see the alleged evils complained OF, but
some of these reform leaders insist upon
forcing their ideas on the people through
prescription and intolerance rather than
by arguments and good actions. At the
Prohibition convention In Dallas the
other day, a delegate from Limestone
county made the assertion that ''if the
toes Of the Germans were pointed out
side of the country lines, prohibition
would carry in the county" and the
remark was received with great ap-
plause by the convention. Germans as
class are just as good citizens as there
are In Texas, and are just as ready and
willing to bear their burden OF the tax
alton as any others, but they caa never be
brought over to the prohibition idea by
spirit OF intolerance or of abuse. The
prohibition sentiment to be satisfactory
and successful will have to grow, Just as
any other idea, and the way TO make it
grow Is to have its advocates deserve
well at the hands of the people. This
can only be secured by a course that is
talrminded and liberal where argument
Is met with argument, and where early
education Ia overcome with really ad-
vanced ideas, This Ia the way to work
reforms, and the only successful way.
Man is an animal that can be led long
\ distances, but cannot be driven an inch.
and good, sound argument ia the only
way to accomplish great results.
