ANOTHER HEAD GONE.

The democratic ak took off our friend
Southwick's head before he was aware what
the matter was. They gave him no time 70,
| explanations. nor even for short prayer
But he desired to make neither. The demo-
cratic party is machine, blind machine
but still machine, that, when in power
chops right on, hit or miss, and as often
missing as hitting the main idea being to
keep the ak well crimsoned with the blood
of the martyrs. We pity Southwick, and
| hope that in O short time we shall be able to
more fully sympathize with him in hi:
headless condition. Our own neck has
been feeling little airy for some
time, We having probably needlessly
exposed i. to Cleveland's Topping and re-
lentless blade. Although that high func-
tionary substantially agreed to become our
guest in the event of his visiting Kansas
and Wichita, during the fair season next fall,
or to stop with our friend Levy, in his new
home, yet memories, vague and underlined,
of Maria and the kid, ever haunts our wax.
ing dreams. They say that the old man is
of forgiving disposition, but it's mistake.
The unconcern apparent on his outside is
only because Of the thickness of that out
side, while deep down the fires of revenge
are SO intense that they consume themselves.
and leaving only an ingot of terribly hot
stuff, in comparison to which, the hottest
revenge is only chunk of insnimate ice.
Southwick, you ere goner, and there is no
use of kicking.

POLICE COURT.

Just one case of plain drunk was before
Judge Glenn yesterday, case in which q
young man got en- his first drunk. He was
terribly cut up about it and said that he had
only taken one drink which took away his
recol.ections and left him without the
power to navigate. When he was in court
he was all broke up-heart-broken and Ia
menting his fall into the hands, even for
once of the ardent. The court affixed the
lightest fine he could and the boy went away
very repentant.

JANUARY II, 1885.

Mr.. William II. Tucker is IS years old
to-day. He was born the 2lst day OF
January, 1901. Mr.. Tucker is the gentle
man who has contributed so many lively
little poems during the winter. He has
written a poem reciting something of the
experiences of his long and eventful life,
which We give below. he is old-very old
but hale and hearty, with all his mental
faculties in full repair, and We hope he may
live many years to come yet:
"a poem by W. H. Tucker.)
Now am eighty-five years old,
1t seems SO strange to tell
I've stood the weather hot and cold.
Perhaps good long spell.
| 1t has been several days ago,
Since England sent her boys
| To fight us,-and to overthrow
The peace our land enjoys
Old Hull surrendered our brave men,
For Procter's British gold
Turned trai,or-fied his country, then
Twas ight-both young and old.
| Our scattered troops exposed to death
Midst hostile British hands,
Were scalped and tomshawked with wrath
By savage Indian hands.
Then Madison our president,
For soldiers loud did cali;
Men bravely to the army went
and many there did fall.
Two cousins dear from Kentucky plains,
With General Winchester did 60,
Wen, into battle and were slain
By cruel savage foe.
My father strapped his knapsack on,
And shouldered up his gun
To Join the ranks of Harrison
Left wife and little son.
Brave Harrison-now dead and gone,
Our armies took command,
Fought MANY battles-yictories won
And peace brought to our land.
Hard fighting did at Tippecanoe,
Where Indians, great and small,
Met Col. johnson for their foe
He made Tecumseh fall.
This fight was after peace was made,
And war with England DER,
In Indians's western shade,
With Indians many score.
What wonders did brave Jackson do,
When aided by kind Heaven,
Gen. Packenham and five thousand slew
And lost but only seven.
Behind the cotton bales did fight,
So safe from cannon-bsll,
He cut them down both left and right,
Made them for quarters call.
And then our commodores on seas
Or lakes did bravely fight,
| Gained many glorious victories
When fighting for their rights.
McDonough out on Lake Champlain,
Ard Perry on Lake Erie.
"Don't give up ship" brave Lawrence cries,
But makes the red-costs weary.
General La Fayette, our country's friend,
And friend of Washington, too,
Came on visit here from France
In eighteen twenty-five.
And now great changes everywhere
do remember well,
And great Improvements here and there
'Twould take me long to tell.
No steam improvements, telegraphs,
Railroads or pixies had we,
We Travelled much on little paths
By blaZes On tree.
Perhaps nv DAYS are nearly DER.
Ny God, forgive the past,
Help me 10 gain sweet Heavens shore,
And be at rest at last.
